*HTC FUCKED UP THIS YEAR, THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN THEIR FLAGSHIP THIS YEAR, THAT NOT CRAPPY M9s! BUT DONT WORRY, THEY WILL MAKE A COMEBACK NEXT YEAR WITH THE M10*
Hey Marques, i would love to see your thoughts about the Alcatel One Touch Idol 3 and Asus Zenfone 2, So any future videos about these 2 phones? Keep up the good work !
The thing i like the most about MKBHD is SIMPLICITY. This guy always keep the things simple and this is the beauty of his videos. No noisy background music, no useless animations and slideshows, no shouting and waste of time, just a calm person sitting on a chair and giving a pure review. Keep up the Good Work Marques (y). Hats off
The day the M9+ came out, I knew what they were going to do, and I was disappointed with HTC's decision. The One M9+ is a superior device to the M9, and I would have bought it in a heartbeat if HTC had released it in the US. Thank you for taking the time to read my comment on the making of this awesome video. As usual, keep it up!
I hate how companies are adding plus to the names of the phones now. I could be wrong but didn't we start seeing plus in the names of android phones after the iPhone 6+?
6cmh3 "Plus" is a marketing term. Samsung and other companies have been putting out Plus versions of their devices for some time now. The point of the iPhone 6+ is to compete with the Note line. If you want to say a company copied another, then Apple did with the 6+. But I respect them for competing. It was needed. Unfortunately, it's just a bigger iPhone with no real useful features for it's size (hopefully iOS 9 adds some). Samsung owns that area of the market as of right now. Also, remember these phones are made for markets outside the U.S. So it's somewhat irrelevant. And since they're international phones, not many people have heard of them here in the U.S. Might be the reason you didn't. Slightly tweaked and spec bumped phones for different markets.
podi8 Why is that though? Only thing I see wrong is the camera which is still slacking but other than that .. this is what HTC should have released instead of the M9. I still have my M7 and been wanting to upgrade.. been considering the LG G4 but I will wait a little longer until HTC finally cracks and releases this in NA
Shadow Slayer but Marques said that the poor quality is die to the hardware... HTC uses a Toshiba instead of Sony. Toshiba is low standard than Sony that's what he said
Congratulations bro. The htc m9 plus is the first mediatek device you have ever reviewed. The mt6795 (helio x10) processor is a beast; one of the only beast able to stand before the snapdragon 810 and the latest Exynos 7420 processor in the galaxy s6. Keep up the sick unveils man!!!
That M9+ looks amazing. Fingerprint reader. Better screen. Duo camera *with* a 20MP sensor. How is this NOT what the American market wants?!? Silly HTC...
First the Iron Man Galaxy S6 Edge is an Asian exclusive; now HTC's marginally improved version of their flagship is an Asian exclusive. I hate Apple, but shout-out to them for not toying with their costumers and loyal fan base. I don't think America wants the shittier versions of your underwhelming phones, Korea and China. We want the same premium products as everyone else. HTC is digging themselves into a bigger hole.
I'm rocking the m9+, very nice device. actually you can wake the device with the fingerprint scanner, just hold it long and it will take you to your last used app or home screen. Pretty useful. The only con is the outdated gpu it has, powerVR g6200 which means high end 3d gaming is not possible with high details so new games will run with simpler look. M9 has the qcom 810 with adreno 430 which is at least double in 3d performance of m9+
Pál Zoltán Illés and yes, don't forget there's already WWE custom ROMs and possibility to attain international news in newsfeed over at xda: forum.xda-developers.com/one-m9/one-m9-general
***** The attention to detail on backgrounds, lighting, camera angles and sound quality are all phenomenal. Even if you offered junk reviews, these videos would be beautiful to look at and listen to. The reviews are solid, though, so you're offering the whole package. Thanks, and keep up the great work.
And I am sitting here with my Galaxy S2 (with CM 12/Android Lollipop)... If I could just put 2-3 GB of RAM in this thing I would propably be fine with it but it definitely has some problems with apps stop loading/crashing...
K3V0M get off CM12, I went back to CM11 on the S2 and it is infinetely better in everyway (on the S2). Coming from a Nexus 4, I got handed an old S2 in great condition and I can honestly say the S2 is smoother and faster, performs better in games (LOL) and battery life is the same. On CM12 the S2 sucks, though.
K3V0M Same here with an S3. If only it had more RAM, Samsung would've originally pushed KitKat to it, CyanogenMod would continue to officially support it for CM12 and everything else would be better. And imagine if it was open source.. Now after going through loads of ROM's, I just ended up on an optimized 4.3 TW ROM because nothing else worked how I wanted it to.
I'm pretty sure you have a better vision than most of us MKB, I can't tell the difference between retina screens sharpness, same with everyone else I asked, as well as some other reviewers I watch.
PKM101 There is a noticeable difference between 1440p and 1080p at this screen size, especially with AMOLED panels that use a pentile matrix. However, it's so marginal that many people would probably prefer the display to be slightly brighter and use a little less power, both of which can typically be achieved by lowering the pixel count on an LCD.
SuperUser I see the difference between other aspects, however sharpness always remains the same as long as it's retina, rightfully so given the term. Unless I move the screen (quite a bit) closer of course, but then practically it's not retina anymore. Other aspects can have an impact on how sharp the screen appears. My old cheap laptop has a 720p screen. My friend bought one with a LED screen, I was sure it was 900p, however it was also 720p.
Yeezy Yeezy hm they've been copying [Samsung has been copying] Apples Ad's and marketing techniques but have still had to reduce orders for the S6 by 16% Apple 1,000,000 Samsung -1,000,000
At tech "TH-cam" guy lmfao Samsung has not been copying Apples ads 😂😂 Apple has been copying samsungs commercials. What happened to apples white background and people holding the phone? Now they want to copy Samsung and showreel world situations with it.
HTC! Please stop with the front logo making it taller... You have capacitive buttons and a finger print button now! You don't need the logo in between.
Ivan Vegner It is. But also the display drivers. The top bezel gets the advantage that the only drivers their is the front cam and earpiece Meanwhile, the bottom bezel holds the drivers for the screen, the speakers, and basically everything snakes down there. Sucks, but I'd rather have it that way, and with owning an HTC device for a few months, it's grown on me.
I guess every other manufacturers (even with front facing speakers) know some secret tech that HTC doesn't know about? Because no other company seems to need the logo vertical space for their drivers...
David Jung well no other company with front facing speakers have as good of speakers as HTC... So I think HTC knows something better than these other companies. Yay, you got thin bezels on your front facing speakers... But if they sound like crap compared to the competitions front facing speakers...
Phillip Jernigan Is this all based on specific evidence of hardware or do you just own an HTC and like it. As far as I've seen from all the parts from a teardown, there's no indication to suggest that they need that extra vertical space for the speakers. Please point me to the specific parts if you can. Don't get me wrong, I'm complaining because I like HTC phones and I want them to be better. There's definitely room for improvement in many way.
HTC M9plus is garbage 1) no fast charging 2) battery drains fast 3) camera is poor 4) battery malfunctions a lot if you're on a budget go for one plus 2 or try Samsung S6 and LG G4
Hey MKBHD, Thanks for your great videos! Can you please advise? Far as I know, One M8 was your favorite of last year.. 2014 Do you recommend HTC ONE M9 PLUS over the One M9? It is sold here in Qatar with slightly higher price and I'm just confused whether to buy it or just get the ONE M9... I'm also concerned with the new chip set. So what do you think?
You people don't buy phones for their performances!!! You brainwashed morons rather spend money you don't have on useless junks like Apple! You imbeciles buy phones based on their looks. Oh my gosh, the new iPhone is "sexy". Apple is fucking you people in the ass!!!
What a laugher. Fortunately, I have enough money to own all the major phones, since I test them for a living. By the way, the 810 soc really overheats inside the M9. Performance issue? Yeah. Because a little thing called throttling occurs that affects the phones performance from being topnotch. And the camera is not great. By the way, my favorite phone is the Lg G4. Sorry to disappoint you i dont own an IPhone.
Lmfao HTC M9 One are you serious lol, you will never be like Samsung, Good try tho But i will never buy a HTC M9 They are really Bad Phones, I will stick with my Beast NOTE 4 till NOTE 5 Comes Out!
Thanks for doing the video. This is the device I would like to rock! Yes, HTC could've done a lot better with the camera, but I don't need a DSLR on my phone. I would love this exact color and I like how HTC made the figure print sensor work so well! Not trying to complain but I was hoping for a little more detail and walk thru. I have seen another review and it showed the finger print sensor double as a button to get to the home screen. I know there will be plenty of complaints, but I would love to have this device. I hope HTC will improve next time around and people would stop complaining so much!
Great video as always Marques! Would be cool to see a comparison between the m9 and m9+ in terms of performance and camera Btw, have you ever forgotten to put an exclamation in your videos title? They're in all of your videos I have seen :P
Those transitions in the beginning were slick. And is it just me, or is this the first video I can remember where your face isn't seen the entire time?
Hi Marques, Good review as usual. Just something you might add for the future. Before you have people running to get the M9+ in China. China and Google are not the best friends. There is no Playstore on phones sold in China. Therefore there always needs to be found a way on how to get Google working. That can be done with international software for most phones. But as this one is only sold in China I am not sure how many developers will look for a way around. Second thing is that I encountered issues with broadband compatibility. Means, LTE may not work overseas for phones sold in China. Keep up the good work. Really enjoying your videos.
I liked the style of this video. Probably not a good fit for your more "professional" videos which I'm sure you're aware of. But it was a fun change. Keep it up man!
Thanks for the first look! I think a better idea would have been to release this worldwide in mid-November, just before the holiday season. They could have waited for Android M, made a few more minor changes, and called it the M10. That way, there would be no international jealousies, nor the anguish of early adopters already getting one-upped.
I own the HTC one m9, what I would like to have in it to be the perfect phone would be a camera like the s6 at the back and leave the ultra pixel at the front. A 3000mah battery. 1080p display is fine just wish it was a warmer display like the iPhone or oled like the s6. Snapdragon 810 is fine it does run a little warm but nothing thats crazy. A 5.2 inch display would be nice but not a deal breaker. Boom sound is dope HTC got that on point. There sense 7 is really really good zero lag. Lastly button layout just move the audio up and down to left side of the phone move the power button up a little and that'll be the best phone to me. I prefer the metal body over glass any day. And HTC should have given us a super charger instead of me having to go purchase one and it works holy crap does it work amazing. I still love my HTC one now but there's always room for improvement
There were rumours of the Note 5 hitting shelves in the summer, but I'm betting it'll be the S6 Plus, with the same metal glass design for those who want a premium phablet. The people who want a power user device will still get the Note 5 later on, likely with removable storage and battery.
Nice job Marques. Any chance of doing a review for the Asus Zenfone2? I was debating on getting either that or the note 4 and I can't really decide and I know you're one of the best out there when it comes to explaining the pros and cons of a smartphone. I really wish you could help me and those others with the same dilemma as I. Please and thank you!
Marques, i've been wondering for a long time, are you possible going to make a video about Sony Xperia Z3 or Z3 Compact, or Z4 in the future? Great video btw!
I know this is kind of off topic or you may already do this but, can you have your daily driver in your channel description or something so we can see what phone you're using?
When I read "& S6 Plus" in the parenthesis, I had to stop what I was doing and watch this. You just might be the man to send future leaks to! I have a feeling the S6+ will have one if not two drawbacks compared to the original S6. I have a feeling it's not in the same category of what's to come later, Note 5/Edge. On another note, I don't see these Plus phones that much better. The margin is so small it's nearly equal. The experience will be the same. The M9 and M9+ have nearly identical specs. Add a fingerprint scanner & better screen. That's it. The camera is still the same (meaning bad camera) with the addition of the Ultra gimmick. The best feature on the M9+ in my opinion is the fingerprint scanner. I say that because of Android M. It's future proof. One thing that does bother me is that, if they can push out a "Prime" version then, why don't they make that the initial flagship?
Love your videos.. very informative specially for those whose planning to buy new phone.. And your cute too..hehe When will you have giveaway? Waiting for that soon.. more videos to come!
Just s correction to your comment in the video.. The M9+ is currently for the Asian market and not just China. It is available in several Asian countries. It is HTCs flagship in India.. No M9 here, just the M9+.
Hi Marques, nice video but I think it was missing the usual level of detail that you normally have in your reviews: 1. The mediatek chipset is the most significant change. How does it perform compared to the 810, esp as it's known to be using a weaker GPU? 2. Same size battery but a quad HD screen, how does it affect the battery life? 3. I believe this model uses the Mediatek chipset's image processing, instead of the HTC one that is normally separate? Does it have an impact on the camera performance, coupled with that depth sensor? Note: This model has been launched in India as well.
Ovais Shah Note: The target audience for these videos is the American audience. He's not going to cater to the Indian or Chinese audience and waste his valuable time on reviewing what is a slight rehash device at best. 99% of Americans will never hear of this phone, let alone be able to purchase it.
Marques aka MKBHD .. Your video reviews are the best on youtube. I always search it first with ykur reference and have a good and positive review. Tbh i am not such a big fan if this new flagship of samsung. Its jus i thik thy are trying to promote this phone so much. But this special edition is one killer piece ... Damn the looks are so badass as you said earlier in your video. This one is a must buy for a iron man fan like me and this edition makes it all worth it. Ill really be thank ful and appreciate it if you give away this masterpiece to me cuz if i were u i would have kept it. Your a guy with a big heart (Y) Respect

That's what the M9 should have been all along.
megagene the m9 + is just an m8 with a bigger screen and fingerprint sensor
Daniyal S. it should be the m8+
The only thing missing is the fingerprint sensor. And the screen, but I swore everyone claimed QHD was unnecessary.
Daniyal S. The SoC, camera, and screen resolution are different. Not quite the same, and arguably better.
Daniyal S. The m8 dosnt have a 20mp camera...
Great work Marques.
And dat exclusive doe. Hope to see more of this device in the future.
I got my hands on the M9+ at the launch event in India. Even did a video on that! Dat fingerprint sensor and the QHD display are super awesome.
That moment when you click on an MKBHD video thats only 360p...
(darn you TH-cam processing)
***** wat a gem

Abubaker Alzuaree That's what people were saying last year about the transition from the M8 to the M9 lol!
Aaron Urban that was 3 months ago
Abubaker Alzuaree The M1014 ? lol
Abubaker Alzuaree doubt it, htc is struggling and the m9 didn't help.
ZombieAssassin7777 lol M10!!!!
***** you by far make the best tech videos on youtube. You keep the short, not boring, great editing, and great cam angles.
Hey Marques, i would love to see your thoughts about the Alcatel One Touch Idol 3 and Asus Zenfone 2, So any future videos about these 2 phones? Keep up the good work !
Mustapha Benalouane who is Mark?
Pat Gencarelli I think he thinks Mark is short for marques
Ben Wilcox Correct !
The PocketNow channel did a great video on those phones. Check it out
Mustapha Benalouane Those phones are way too obscure for this channels audience
Given that the bigger phones seemed to be more popular last year; not sure why they would think the US doesn't want the M9+..
I love htc but they dropped the ball this year and I don't think this is going to help
Same here I'm getting the S6 edge this year I'm going to miss the boom sound
DarkshadowXD63 already got it. I miss the boomsound too and the better battery.
Timeyin Sholaye considering the M9 has the worst battery life of all the android flagship phones, i dont think your missing it there
Masterincommander really? But the m8 had such an amazing battery life how can the next model have worse? They dropped the ball harder than I thought
Timeyin Sholaye how is the screen? My BF Galaxy S6 Edge screen came all scratched up. Does the screen scratch easily?
The thing i like the most about MKBHD is SIMPLICITY. This guy always keep the things simple and this is the beauty of his videos. No noisy background music, no useless animations and slideshows, no shouting and waste of time, just a calm person sitting on a chair and giving a pure review. Keep up the Good Work Marques (y).

Thank you for taking the time to read my comment on the making of this awesome video. As usual, keep it up!
I hate how companies are adding plus to the names of the phones now. I could be wrong but didn't we start seeing plus in the names of android phones after the iPhone 6+?
Yeah. Exactly
Hate is a strong word for something that small.
Samsung Galaxy SII Plus.
Stop fucking thinking Apple was first at everything.
6cmh3 "Plus" is a marketing term. Samsung and other companies have been putting out Plus versions of their devices for some time now. The point of the iPhone 6+ is to compete with the Note line. If you want to say a company copied another, then Apple did with the 6+. But I respect them for competing. It was needed.

And since they're international phones, not many people have heard of them here in the U.S. Might be the reason you didn't. Slightly tweaked and spec bumped phones for different markets.
6cmh3 Nope, HTC had the One X+ in 2012 , long before the iPhone 6+ was released .
Amazing production yet again!
Personally, I dont think this changes anything. HTC still has alot of catching up to do.
Apple or Samsung fanboy
podi8 Why is that though? Only thing I see wrong is the camera which is still slacking but other than that .. this is what HTC should have released instead of the M9. I still have my M7 and been wanting to upgrade.. been considering the LG G4 but I will wait a little longer until HTC finally cracks and releases this in NA
I love how much clearer your videos are compared to other tech reviewers such as UAC and Tek Syndicate. Great video by the way.
It looks like it'd be a great phone, if it had a good camera.
It is a good camera SENSOR, but the camera SOFTWARE that HTC put on it cripples the camera
Shadow Slayer but Marques said that the poor quality is die to the hardware... HTC uses a Toshiba instead of Sony. Toshiba is low standard than Sony that's what he said
You can't deny the Lumia 1020 is one of the best camera smartphones and it uses a Toshiba sensor
Shadow Slayer and here I thought the 1020 used a Sony sensor.
but Asus zenfone 2 uses the Toshiba sensor too and it produces bad images like htc
your videos are getting better everytime
am i the only one who really thinks that the fingerprint sensor looks awful?
xSixtyyy I know it looks stupid and doesn't add any functonality [except the scanner]
You're right...
U r not the only one! I also love htc and i wanted a fingerprint sensor on theur flagship! Thanx they did it!!
xSixtyyy It would have been better if they placed the scanner under the logo...
Would of been better if they out the button on the back like the g4
*YOU ARE GETTING BETTER AND BETTER*
That bottom two speaker grill + fingerprint is hideous. Man. What were they thinking.
I was thinking the same thing just before I read your comment
Miguel Angel Thats why its only for the chinese market.
They were thinking that the Asian market cares about function and the Western market cares about aesthetics.
***** I could argue that. But that's just out culture. They could of done a better job

Amazing video as usual! That ring around the camera really grinds my gears though haha
HTC M9plus is garbage

4) battery malfunctions a lot
if you're on a budget go for one plus 2 or try Samsung S6 and LG G4

have u ever used it !? brainwashed sheep ....
its more than just a good phone
Awesome video!

Hey MKBHD,
Thanks for your great videos!
Can you please advise?
Far as I know, One M8 was your favorite of last year.. 2014
Do you recommend HTC ONE M9 PLUS over the One M9?
It is sold here in Qatar with slightly higher price and I'm just confused whether to buy it or just get the ONE M9...
I'm also concerned with the new chip set.
So what do you think?
shows htc doesn't have a clue as to what the u.s market wanted.
Or maybe they just don't give a fuck about your opinions!
That's why the M9 is their worst selling phone.
You people don't buy phones for their performances!!! You brainwashed morons rather spend money you don't have on useless junks like Apple! You imbeciles buy phones based on their looks. Oh my gosh, the new iPhone is "sexy". Apple is fucking you people in the ass!!!
What a laugher. Fortunately, I have enough money to own all the major phones, since I test them for a living. By the way, the 810 soc really overheats inside the M9. Performance issue? Yeah.

Sorry to disappoint you i dont own an IPhone.
Lol, disappoint me?
Came here for Whats up guys MKBHD here..... And i'm dissapointed.

Thanks for doing the video. This is the device I would like to rock! Yes, HTC could've done a lot better with the camera, but I don't need a DSLR on my phone. I would love this exact color and I like how HTC made the figure print sensor work so well! Not trying to complain but I was hoping for a little more detail and walk thru. I have seen another review and it showed the finger print sensor double as a button to get to the home screen. I know there will be plenty of complaints, but I would love to have this device. I hope HTC will improve next time around and people would stop complaining so much!
Marques Brownlee is FLAWSLESS.
Great video as always Marques!
Would be cool to see a comparison between the m9 and m9+ in terms of performance and camera
Btw, have you ever forgotten to put an exclamation in your videos title? They're in all of your videos I have seen :P
Just for the record, I always watch your videos in 4K :)
Those transitions in the beginning were slick. And is it just me, or is this the first video I can remember where your face isn't seen the entire time?
the that new phone , htc is catching up with the finger print stuff , and love the video Marques keep up the good work man !
Hi Marques, Good review as usual. Just something you might add for the future. Before you have people running to get the M9+ in China. China and Google are not the best friends. There is no Playstore on phones sold in China. Therefore there always needs to be found a way on how to get Google working. That can be done with international software for most phones. But as this one is only sold in China I am not sure how many developers will look for a way around. Second thing is that I encountered issues with broadband compatibility. Means, LTE may not work overseas for phones sold in China.
Keep up the good work. Really enjoying your videos.
Hey your videos are great. You have helped me make up my mind on many pieces of tech. Thanks!
Love the intro to the phone
I liked the style of this video. Probably not a good fit for your more "professional" videos which I'm sure you're aware of. But it was a fun change. Keep it up man!
3:40 The one on the bottom, that's my favourite facets wallpaper: Division II
I think the HTC One M9+ looks smaller in MKB's hands than the regular HTC One M9 looks in my hands. Dude has Hulk hands.
You can also get your hands on one of these bad boys in India. Great video like always MKBHD!
thanks for the review, also it is being release in india and even here in UAE, am buying this phone soon!
Yes plus is better than original one
And I kind a like that fingerprint scanner too works spontaneously and that camera looks superb
We need to see some photo comparisons between this (Plus) and the M9.
You're vids ! they're just amazing man keep it up.. 😄 ( just felt like posting this for some reason )
Great video as always is all I can say. After watching this video I think I can sleep peacefully now that it's 2 am.
Thanks for the first look! I think a better idea would have been to release this worldwide in mid-November, just before the holiday season. They could have waited for Android M, made a few more minor changes, and called it the M10. That way, there would be no international jealousies, nor the anguish of early adopters already getting one-upped.
I own the HTC one m9, what I would like to have in it to be the perfect phone would be a camera like the s6 at the back and leave the ultra pixel at the front. A 3000mah battery. 1080p display is fine just wish it was a warmer display like the iPhone or oled like the s6. Snapdragon 810 is fine it does run a little warm but nothing thats crazy. A 5.2 inch display would be nice but not a deal breaker. Boom sound is dope HTC got that on point. There sense 7 is really really good zero lag. Lastly button layout just move the audio up and down to left side of the phone move the power button up a little and that'll be the best phone to me. I prefer the metal body over glass any day. And HTC should have given us a super charger instead of me having to go purchase one and it works holy crap does it work amazing. I still love my HTC one now but there's always room for improvement
Love the round housing!
That's actually a nice looking phone. That display looks great!
TNX for reviewing this phone
:)
There were rumours of the Note 5 hitting shelves in the summer, but I'm betting it'll be the S6 Plus, with the same metal glass design for those who want a premium phablet.
The people who want a power user device will still get the Note 5 later on, likely with removable storage and battery.
Nice job Marques. Any chance of doing a review for the Asus Zenfone2? I was debating on getting either that or the note 4 and I can't really decide and I know you're one of the best out there when it comes to explaining the pros and cons of a smartphone. I really wish you could help me and those others with the same dilemma as I. Please and thank you!
Marques, i've been wondering for a long time, are you possible going to make a video about Sony Xperia Z3 or Z3 Compact, or Z4 in the future? Great video btw!
😍 It's so beautiful and looks... Perfect.
Why are your so good Marques?
We need a brand new all metal HTC!!!
The best phone i've seen ..... want the feeling of owning such a thing
I know this is kind of off topic or you may already do this but, can you have your daily driver in your channel description or something so we can see what phone you're using?
hey Marques a little correction- it's not only for Chinese market, it's here in India as well
Finally a prime phone from htc. This is also doubted as The HTC M9 prime
Hey man, nice video! I wonder where did you get that wristband. Looks pretty cool!
getting the scoops! Welcome to the big boys table
Agreed. Would of loved to see that here in the US too
When I read "& S6 Plus" in the parenthesis, I had to stop what I was doing and watch this. You just might be the man to send future leaks to! I have a feeling the S6+ will have one if not two drawbacks compared to the original S6. I have a feeling it's not in the same category of what's to come later, Note 5/Edge.
On another note, I don't see these Plus phones that much better. The margin is so small it's nearly equal. The experience will be the same. The M9 and M9+ have nearly identical specs. Add a fingerprint scanner & better screen. That's it. The camera is still the same (meaning bad camera) with the addition of the Ultra gimmick. The best feature on the M9+ in my opinion is the fingerprint scanner. I say that because of Android M. It's future proof.
One thing that does bother me is that, if they can push out a "Prime" version then, why don't they make that the initial flagship?
Just got it today in India.. Loveee it.. :)
Ohh.. Nice
Actually u made a mistake
Unbox Therapy you've said it was a home button, it's only a fingerprint scanner! DOPE!
Nice review.
You were wrong about the fingerprint scanner though. It does act as a home button.
I'm happy with my fresh galaxy s6! Still got that o.g. unlimited Internet plan from verizon as well.
Love your videos.. very informative specially for those whose planning to buy new phone..
And your cute too..hehe
When will you have giveaway? Waiting for that soon.. more videos to come!
Really nice. Thinking of upgrading to this
Just s correction to your comment in the video.. The M9+ is currently for the Asian market and not just China. It is available in several Asian countries. It is HTCs flagship in India.. No M9 here, just the M9+.
I'm proud to saw I have own two cell phones for the past 5 years. HTC EVO and the HTC EVO 4G LTE. Cell phone prices are just insanely expensive.
I wanted to buy M9 but cause of the camera wasn't too good I went with Nexus 6 , love it so far XD
wow that s6 edge + leak was 100% spot on
Hi Marques, nice video but I think it was missing the usual level of detail that you normally have in your reviews:
1. The mediatek chipset is the most significant change. How does it perform compared to the 810, esp as it's known to be using a weaker GPU?
2. Same size battery but a quad HD screen, how does it affect the battery life?
3. I believe this model uses the Mediatek chipset's image processing, instead of the HTC one that is normally separate? Does it have an impact on the camera performance, coupled with that depth sensor?
Note: This model has been launched in India as well.
Ovais Shah Note: The target audience for these videos is the American audience. He's not going to cater to the Indian or Chinese audience and waste his valuable time on reviewing what is a slight rehash device at best. 99% of Americans will never hear of this phone, let alone be able to purchase it.
Super Sized S6?!
I'M IN.
I love your wristband!! ;D
I hope you do a review on the pebble time, would love to see your opinion on the wearable currently sitting on my wrist :)
Great Video I have been waiting for this device and would love to have one Marques Brownlee #HYPE
Marques aka MKBHD ..
Your video reviews are the best on youtube. I always search it first with ykur reference and have a good and positive review. Tbh i am not such a big fan if this new flagship of samsung. Its jus i thik thy are trying to promote this phone so much. But this special edition is one killer piece ... Damn the looks are so badass as you said earlier in your video. This one is a must buy for a iron man fan like me and this edition makes it all worth it. Ill really be thank ful and appreciate it if you give away this masterpiece to me cuz if i were u i would have kept it. Your a guy with a big heart (Y)
Respect
Great video!! Can u make a video about wi-max technology...looks like a great technology.
WHATS UP MKBHD LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!!!!!
