Theme creator sounds like it belongs on a turn of the century advert for premium rate mobile 'fun', but in reality it's rather cool. While mostly nothing more than a tidy up this year, it flicks along nicely under the finger and comes with a few clever tricks that'll make you feel like the One M9 is really your phone. Sense, the overlay HTC has been using for a number of years, continues to get more refined and cultured with every iteration, fitting nicely with the premium finish on the outside. The notifications pane is cultured and easy to use, with a couple of double taps getting you into any app that's after your attention.

So while naked Android has inexplicably forgotten about silent mode, HTC has popped it back in.

It started with Windows Mobile (and if anyone made that beast usable, they deserved a chocolate medal) and has continued with Android, taking the best bits of Lollipop and using them to deliver a really clever experience. You can see why, given the extra craft that's gone into creation, but for the money we'd like to have seen something next-gen like the QHD screen Samsung's packing.įor a long time HTC has been the master at one thing: making the best of the operating system it's running on top of.
HTC has definitely taken the idea of a luxury watch a little further than we would have liked, with the price shooting up past iPhone 6 levels at launch. The output through headphones is clearer than in recent years though, keeping HTC as a market leader in pumping tunes into your ears. It's not that noticeable though, with the output merely improving the clarity of dialogue rather than making you mistakenly think someone's at the door. The BoomSound speakers have had an overhaul as well, now imbued with a boatload of Dolby smarts to give you a virtual surround sound experience when chopping peppers for dinner. The raising of the camera to 20.7MP sounds like a great idea, and has improved the snapping prowess, but is distinctly middle of the road when it comes to the output. However, it seems that HTC's gone big on the design, and not that much else.
