There's an argument that the UltraPixel approach, with larger pixels that let in more light, is actually better suited to the front, allowing you to capture better, clearer pics without the need for a flash, that curse of the hastily grabbed selfie. UltraPixels aren't dead however, as the front camera now boasts four of 'em, replacing the M8's 5 megapixel snapper. Picture quality is generally very good, with plenty of detail and realistic colours. HTC's Zoe app also allows you to combine your photos and videos with your friends for footage from multiple points of view.

There's a full suite of settings and modes to play with, including HDR and macro, as well as extras like HTC Eye Experience, the software allows you to create split captures, take voice selfies and apply live makeup to smooth out your laugh lines. The main camera is now a more conventional 20-megapixel model, rather than the UltraPixel style of the M8, and has sapphire glass over the lens. HTC has long struggled to help its cameras compete with the best but with the M9 it's excelled itself. A powerful processor contributes greatly to the elegance of the experience and even with a bunch of apps running at once, and playing HD games, we noticed no slowdown or stutter. Our regular AnTuTu benchmark test gave it a score of 58,833 which catapults it right to the top of our scores list, ahead of the Google Nexus 6, which held the record for at least a few weeks.

It's all backed by a hefty 3GB RAM and should provide better efficiency for the battery, but it's also delightfully fast, with that 'speed of thought' effect you get from the best handsets, where apps open in a twinkling, and controls seem to respond the instant you touch them. The processor has been bumped up from quad-core to a more efficient and powerful octa-core, with four of those cores clocked at 2GHz and the other four at 1.5GHz.

You may be more likely to use your headphones, but when you want to share, for a movie or a conference call, it's an impressive sound for a device this size. With front-facing speakers and amps courtesy of HTC's BoomSound concept, now with Dolby Audio processing technology, you get a loud, full sound that doesn't distort, even at maximum volume. Something HTC has clearly put some effort into is the sound of the M9. We like the look, the impression of texture, and the functional additions are generally very useful, such as the BlinkFeed media aggregator and the Themes feature, which doesn't just change colours and wallpapers, but also textures, icons, sounds, the clock and type fonts it will even suggest themes based around the picture you choose for your background.

Nice to see that it's running the very latest version of Android 5 Lollipop, which provides the support for HTC's elegant Sense 7.0 interface, now adapted to match the flat, utilitarian style of Lollipop. The casing now has a scratch-resistant coating, but HTC hasn't followed the lead of Sony by incorporating waterproofing, which is a shame when you have a phone costing this much, it's comforting to know that you won't lose it to a drop in your drink.

HTC claims it's 'ergonomically tapered' but never mind the jargon, it does sit very comfortably in the hand, without any of the sharper edges that have blighted some high end smartphones - Sony's Xperia series for example. It now has a two-tone metal design though, with a different colour around the edges - we had the silver version with gold trim, which frankly, looks gorgeous. Size and style-wise it's virtually the same as the M8, meaning it's a gorgeous looking slab of tooled metal with a gently curving back and mirrored edges. Something HTC regularly scores high for is style, and the HTC One M9 is no exception, refining the eye candy of the M8 even further. But is it a genuinely genius smartphone, or more a case of style over substance? Screen & Chassis The HTC One flagship continues to improve and the One M9 takes it to an all new level with improved processor, camera and a few other tweaks, while retaining its sleek unibody metal design.
