To be precise, the HTC One M9 + will be in the Netherlands on July 14 and will be available in a gray color scheme. The only thing that we are not happy is the cost of a smartphone that can devastate a purse at 760 euros.

Around the same time, HTC One M9 +, most likely, will reach up to other European countries. And we need to remind you that in addition to the gray HTC One M9 + Chinese people can still buy a smartphone in the gold and silver-golden colors. And hardly HTC is going to make these colors exclusive to the Chinese market.

HTC One M9 + was announced in April this year. NEW originally positioned as a smartphone for the Chinese market. But, as we see it officially gets up to other regions of the world. And it is possible that the Taiwanese manufacturer has decided to revise its earlier plans about the fate of HTC One M9 + because of not the highest sales of the original flagship smartphone.

The 5.2-inch capacitive touchscreen smartphone has a resolution of 1440×2560 pixels. And as the main sensor system Duo Camera uses a powerful 20-megapixel camera. The front of the HTC One M9 Plus you can see the stereo BoomSound, which at the bottom are divided into two separate units, located on the left and right of the Home button and front camera UltraPixel, which was previously used as the main sensor in the HTC One M8.

At the core, HTC One M9 Plus is a hardware platform MediaTek MT6795T 8-core processor with a clock frequency of up to 2.2GHz. RAM size of the smartphone up to 3 GB. Its internal memory is limited to 32 GB, and as an operating system smartphone uses Google Android 5.0 Lollipop. The dimensions of the smartphone are at 150,99 x 71,99 x 9,61 mm. And bundled with it comes the battery capacity of 2840 mAh.

One M9 from HTC – a magnificent flagship with many advantages. Except for one thing. Developers from Taiwan are not provided him with protection from moisture.

There are no specific standards to implement did not. Formally – better to keep the phone away from the water.

In fact – all the more interesting. This is evidenced by the test, which has recently undergone a machine. A device with honor “survived” a small dive.

Testers lowered operating HTC One M9 full cup, start the timer and filmed the process on video. It turned out a very entertaining spectacle.

The underwater device “lived” about 22 minutes. Only by overcoming the specified threshold, it is completely stopped functioning. An impressive feat for a gadget that is not designed for such experiments.

What does this mean in practice? You can easily drop your smartphone into a puddle. If you pick up quickly – there is a chance to discover a whole HTC One M9. Although it is better not to do this on purpose.

A few days ago HTC unveiled the long-awaited HTC One M9. There has been said in the exhibition MWC 2015. Specifications and appearance of the smartphone are now known. However, as the device is good in? Riddle.

It is clear that the flagships are fast. But how fast? Employees popular project Fudzilla found it.

In what way? Tested it with the benchmark AnTuTu. The result was rather curious.

Test was used for the 64-bit version of the test. How One M9 scored points? 53852. The achievement was not a record, but a very decent (for gadget based on an 8-core processor Qualcomm Snapdragon 810).

What’s interesting is not so long ago a similar number – 53409 – showed Meizu MX4 from China. But the phone is based on another chip – MediaTek MT6595.

Cores from the “Chinese” too 8. True 32-bit platform and less publicized.

Listed tempting to certain conclusions. However, there are more positive moments for Qualcomm. The problem of overheating Snapdragon 810 – journalists Fudzilla found – to the One M9 is not enough.

Temperature, while there was a check, never reached dangerous levels.

Alas, there is nothing to Taiwan’s flagship Galaxy S6 Edge countered by Samsung. Last in line AnTuTu won in 69000 points.

HTC introduced the flagship of a new generation – HTC One M9. Observers he was not impressed. First of all, the company did not meet expectations related to the quality of images obtained with the built-in camera, although its resolution has grown.

The new flagship smartphone HTC – One M9, – presented at the MWC 2015 in Barcelona, was “the most beautiful in the world of disappointment,” the newspaper writes The Verge. The most anticipated new feature in the new flagship camera was. Many people are not satisfied that in the past the flagship M8 camera allows you to take a 4-megapixel images. Therefore, the company entrusted with the hope that the new device will be a better camera.

Sensor Resolution in One M9 really grown – up to 20 MP. But the camera remained “mediocre,” writes The Verge.

“Unfortunately, my initial impressions of the camera is not turned out to be positive. On all my shots are present noise. As for the shooting in the absence of sufficient light – it’s just a disaster. I was reminded of smartphones BlackBerry, in which from generation to generation manufacturer could not put a normal camera “- the author writes The Verge.

His opinion is shared by the browser from the site Android Authority. “The new camera is very weak in low light conditions. I tried it in many places, including inside the Sagrada Familia, and I was disappointed with the results, “- he says, noting that the M9 and no optical stabilization, which has become” standard in many modern champions “(she appeared in Samsung Galaxy S6).

HTC One M9 looks the same as the M8. Therefore, its customers will be deprived of the feeling of novelty. “When I first saw the M9, I thought that I look at the previous generation machine” – shared the author of The Verge, recalling that the M8 was once voted the most beautiful smartphone platform Android.

In M9 remained the same all-metal housing and the same screen – 5 inch, 1920 x 1080 pixels. Of structural innovations is the movement of the power button on the top of the side. Shell thickness increased by 0.2 mm to 9.6 mm. Although the length and width of it are slightly decreased compared to the previous flagship.

Has also been updated and hardware stuffing. 4-core Snapdragon processor 801 was replaced with a 64-bit 8-core Snapdragon chipset 810 (two 4-core processor, working alternately). RAM increased to 3GB. The amount of internal memory is 32 GB. There is support for memory cards.

The post HTC’s new flagship One M9 was the “world’s most beautiful disappointment” appeared first on Raqwe.

In the early spring in the Catalan capital will host a real parade of presentations: at Mobile World Congress debut flagship device from the most famous brands. Raqwe summarizes the expectations of the MWC and tells what gadgets we demonstrate with 1 to 5 March.

Innovation

Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge

After the failure of the Samsung Galaxy Round abandoned experiments with curved displays: Koreans focused on supporting strips that allow the service information at the end of the smartphone. Debut device became Galaxy Note Edge – flagship Phablet with additional screen on the right side. He was introduced along with the Galaxy Note 4, and the highest price (in Russia – from 50,000 at the start) made Edge premium option is usually Phablet. By early February, were sold 630,000 Note Edge – pretty good for an experimental device.

Experiments continue on 1 March: the presentation of Samsung will welcome not only the standard Galaxy S6, but Galaxy S6 Edge (the second part mentions the name – S Edge). Now on the Edge-version is palpable rate: first, something curved appeared on the teaser event (it’s always a hint), and secondly, the service is just two screens. The most simple but important reason for the appearance of the third display – the same opportunities for right-handed and left-handed users. In terms of “stuffing» S6 Edge coincide with the classical Six: 2K display, processor Exynos 7420, 3 GB of RAM, with options 32/64/128 GB of built-in resources, 20-megapixel camera and a fingerprint scanner. Operating system – Android 5.0, moreover, it is likely without TouchWiz.

Fashion on curved devices support mainly Korean manufacturers: in early January at CES-2015 was announced the LG G Flex, slightly curved display equipped. However, most experts are of the opinion that the real benefit of such devices are not able to bring: it is necessary to wait for the moment when it will be possible to turn off the smartphone into a tube.

Modules Google Ara

The collapse of Glass makes Google hurry with other innovations: the failure of smart points can adversely affect the image of the company, so you need to quickly present something resonance. The ideal candidate – modular smartphone Google Ara, who received the news about the media a couple of years. The idea of the Internet giant is to give people a choice: for example, a man who only need a large screen and powerful processor, can save on the camera, simply abandoning this module.

In preparation for the commercial version of Ara in Google faced a lot of problems: the first stages of the magnets do not provide adequate reliability of the design, so the module is loosened. In January 2015 journalists from leading publications invited to brief acquaintance with modular smartphone. The opinion of the press was quite clear: now this gadget seems very unusual (primarily because any element can detach), but on the whole project looks promising.

In Barcelona Google bring ready modules developed by Yezz. The preliminary announcement indicated that the companies involved in the project Ara, engaged in the creation of about 100 different hardware units – from the processor to the fingerprint sensor. It is already known that the chipsets will deliver Marvell and NVIDIA, for screens respond Innolux, but for the sound of Sennheiser. Thus, already at MWC many journalists will be able to explore the finished models Google Ara. Sale of smartphones and modules to them should start this year: it is expected that the site will launch in Puerto Rico.

Operating Systems

Ubuntu

A year ago, Meizu and Canonical arrived at MWC with a prototype smartphone Ubuntu Touch: the role of the subject was current at the time MX3, but the market gadget with the new OS has not arrived. Further development of the mobile version of Ubuntu was pulled all the 2014-th: in November Meizu and Canonical consolidated friendship agreement on strategic partnership. Most likely, the partnership finally result in a complete device: it was announced that UFO-smartphone (U – Ubuntu, FO – Flyme OS) will debut in the first quarter of 2015.

The list of participants nearest exhibition MWC Meizu does not appear, but there is Canonical. For an early announcement of the joint gadget indicated by the fact that on 7 February was presented the first official smartphone on Ubuntu: BQ Aquaris E4.5 with mediocre specifications (qHD, screen, 1 GB of RAM) and the price of 170 euros.

It is worth noting that for the final release of Canonical refused consoles Touch: The resulting system is simply called Ubuntu, which underlines its identity with the desktop version.

Windows 10

February 13 Microsoft announced the release of Windows Mobile 10 Technical Preview – This assembly is designed to fans who are willing to endure any hardship for the sake of testing fresh OS. The oddest thing was that a couple of days before the premiere Windows 10 TP Corporation of Redmond has confirmed its participation in the MWC 2015. Then everything goes according to one of the three scenarios.

The first – an optimistic: in Catalonia Microsoft will please the public the new flagship chipset Snapdragon 810 and the final running Windows 10. This version says a recent promise of the American company: it was stated that a smartphone with a top processor from Qualcomm appear this year. However, the likelihood of such an outcome tends to zero: the insiders did not publish any spy shots, therefore, the development of the flagship is one of the initial stages.

The second scenario – it is quite real: Microsoft brings Phablet Lumia 1330 (continued Lumia 1320) finished with Windows 10. This smartphone is known quite a lot: he will get a 5.7-inch HD-screen, Snapdragon chip 400 gigabytes of RAM, 14-megapixel camera and 5-megapixel front module.

The third story – tragic: Microsoft will offer to wait and restrict output in 1330 with the assembly Lumia Windows 8.1.

Also at the end of January it became known that Windows Mobile is alive not only through Lumia-backgrounds. Acer Executive Director Jason Chen confirmed that at MWC 2015 (4 years after the release vinfona Allegro) presents his company unit running “windows”. There is evidence that the device will not treat a flagship segment, but will be able to upgrade to Windows 10 in March.

Masthead format

Lenovo Vibe Z3 Pro

Released in the summer of metal Phablet Vibe Z2 Pro has received high marks from the press, which enthusiastically greeted stylish device with a gorgeous screen and the flagship “iron”. The only complaint was the size at the end of many reviews the author points out that if Lenovo has cut the screen to 0.5 inches (or even per inch), the smartphone would be a wider audience.

After seven and a half months, the Chinese company is preparing to release Vibe Shot. He will get a 5-inch FullHD-screen (enough for a diagonal), aluminum housing, 3 GB RAM, OS Android Lollipop, as well as 16-megapixel camera with optical stabilization, three-color flash, and possibly a laser autofocus. Judging by the title, Vibe Shot will be positioned as a camera phone: at the same point two physical buttons on the end. One is responsible for the shutter release, the other – for switching between professional and amateur shooting modes. Minus at Vibe Shot only one – Snapdragon chip 615, which is unable to compete with the 810-m performance.

Large plates

In 2015-m sure Apple will release a 12.2-inch tablet, so Android-competitors are trying to prepare for the release of Cupertino. Previously, the production of large plates were engaged only Samsung and Microsoft, and now they are likely to join Sony. The Japanese refused to big press conference at MWC-2015, but we can not exclude a quiet announcement giant tablet Xperia Z4 Tablet Ultra.

He, if you trust the blurry spy images, get the typical rectangular design line. With the “filling” more difficult: the most detailed information to provide resources PadNews, periodically mistaken in their forecasts. The Chinese claim that the Tablet Ultra involve 4K screen, 6GB RAM, Qualcomm Snapdragon processor 810 and the battery on the 12100 mAh. At least half of these characteristics, looks very doubtful.

In addition to Sony, Samsung and Microsoft can present large plates and less well-known brands: due Phablet 7-inch “tablet” lost popularity, so vendors have to complement the 10-inch format is something new.

Wearable gadgets

Watches from Samsung

The success of the Motorola Moto 360 forced designers to design the Samsung smart watch with a round dial. Even a few weeks before MWC-2015 Leak at least: there are only a sketchy outline design hours (unusual), previously codenamed (Orbis) and operating system information (Tizen, but not Android Wear).

We can assume that, as in the case with previous smart clock company, Orbis will be synchronized only with gadgets ruler Galaxy. All other details we learn in Barcelona.

LG G Watch R2 with LTE

Koreans do not mind the fact that G Watch R2 will give them the third generation smart hours per year: in LG focused on how to outperform competitors in real time. In early December 2014 it became clear that with a budget smartphone Asian manufacturers take at MWC round clock with support for LTE. Appearance G Watch R2 virtually unchanged compared to the previous generation, and the presence of the communication module will allow to get ahead in this field, Samsung, whose Gear S only works in third-generation networks.

Bracelet Watch from HTC

The Taiwanese company for a long time to look closely to the market wearable electronics and only now produced his gadget. The device, tentatively named HTC Petra – hybrid smart watches and fitness tracker. Accessory will weigh only 23 grams, but can boast superior functionality. Petra with a flexible 1.8-inch PMOLED-screen with a resolution 32h160 points accelerometer integrated GPS-module, robust housing (protection – IP57) and a battery that is able to operate without recharging up to three days.

The gadget is synchronized with the devices on iOS and Android, passes back information about physical activity and sleep schedule is. In addition, Petra can act as a smart alarm clock, music player and the remote control for the camera smartphone. Of course, no Android Wear is not established that there is only its own operating system, developed specifically for this model.

The device is available in three sizes (S / M / L) and four colors (black / turquoise / gray and blue / lime). First smart watch to get into the US market (price unknown), followed by a global release worth the wait.

Design

HTC One M9

Preceded M9 Hima was one of the most beautiful smartphone 2014: Android even among fans assumed that it was with One M8 at Apple sketched sixth iPhone. HTC flagship 2015 will be even more attractive: the latest figures, the front panel is made from glass, speakers leave the slot on the end, and a little old dark band (the one below the screen) all lost. Behind everything will remain as before, but instead of a double chamber will be a regular 20-megapixel module production Toshiba.

Characteristics of the device are well known: HTC One M9 Hima receive a 5-inch Full-HD-screen, Qualcomm Snapdragon processor 810, 3GB of RAM and Android 5.0 with a shell Sense 7.0.

Thickness Gionee

In little-known brands have only one opportunity to quickly get all the news feeds: it is necessary to release a gadget that passes under the category “best.” The thinnest smartphone (at least for a few weeks) will be presented in Barcelona: there it will bring the company Gionee. The thickness of the device is only 4.6 millimeters, with no tricks like bulging cameras or 2.5-mm jack for headphones is not provided.

All known specifications of the machine from Gionee – is the amount of RAM (2 GB) and the operating system Android 5.0 Lollipop. Let the graph (screen, processor, battery) can be filled in early March in Catalonia.

Apparatus online Cyberport.de presented in two colors – dark gray and golden-silver. In the first case in dark gray painted body as a whole, including the front, back and sides panels. In the second case, we propose a combined painting – the back panel has a silver color, and the front panel and side face – golden.

Microblogupleaks parallel confirmed that the future flagship HTC will be released in a dark gray and golden-silver versions, and added that it would be another option – fully in gold color, but the back panel is a little darker.

Presented at the pictures M9 similar to the current flagship M8, but the difference is easy to see. Hole camera in the new device was much larger and has acquired a square shape. Also, you may notice that the camera is in favor of the body. All this is due to the use of a sensor with a higher resolution.

According Cyberport.de, unit sales in Germany will begin April 9, 2015 at a price of 749 euros (about i53800).

Before the official presentation of the new flagship HTC remained a matter of weeks. Smartphone One (M9) in all its glory demonstrate within the Mobile World Congress. Exhibition starts at the beginning of March.

However, it is not necessary to wait for the event in Barcelona to know the specifications of the machine. Famous industrial spyupleaks already “leaked” to the network characteristics of reliable gadget.

Based on published data, the engineers from Taiwan have worked well.

However, ideal results achieved. Judge for yourself: resolution 5-inch screen is only 1080. Rather modest achievement against competitors who offer support 2K and 4K.

As for the chip, One (M9) can boast the presence of 8-core 64-bit processor Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 (MSM8994). Four computational units Cortex-A53 work with a frequency of 1.5 GHz. The remaining four power – Cortex-57 – reaches 2.0 GHz.

In the role of graphics accelerator performs Adreno 430. RAM “on board” exactly 3 GB. In addition there is a solid-state

  storage capacity from 32 up to 64 GB (depending on configuration).

The last few days in the network one by one leaked photos and sundry information about HTC One (M9). This is not surprising, because it is known that on 1 March HTC will show us their new flagship. Keddr decided to collect all the leaks on this theme in one place.

HTC One (M9) will inherit the appearance of the two previous flagship – HTC One (M7) and HTC One (M8). It is the same Unibody-metal housing. It is expected that the HTC One (M9) will be available immediately in three colors: silver, gray and gold.

The main authors of leaks and steel resources Nowhereelse Phandroid. They published a “live” pictures of the new flagship HTC. And, it should be noted at Phandroid got it a little better. As in M8, M9 gray version, characteristic texture rear panel, silver will remain monotonous.

It seems to HTC to reason, and the new HTC One will receive only the main chamber, its resolution is rumored to be 20 MT. With the front camera it’s not so clear, according to a leak of its resolution is 13 MP, according to the same it will be another UltraPixel-camera with a resolution of 4 megapixel (by the way, this was the main camera in the HTC One (M8)). Fingerprint scanner smartphone receives.

As for the display characteristics and there are two versions. According to the first HTC One (M9) will receive a five-inch display with FullHD-resolution, according to the same amount to the second diagonal of 5.5 inches and a resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels. Of course, I want to believe in the truth of the first version.

Resource editor Steve Nowhereelse Hemmerstoffer imposed M8 and M9 pictures on each other and came to the following conclusions. First, compared to its predecessor in the HTC One (M9) decreased side display frame; Second, change the size and lattice front speakers; Third, became less black strip below the display, which suffered a logo HTC; and, finally, fourthly, increased eye front camera and proximity sensors and light conditions.

Meanwhile, Chinese entrepreneurs have offered to purchase cover for not yet announced a smartphone.
