HTC are set to release the latest version of their flagship handset – the HTC One (M9). Last year’s One (M8) was recently voted ‘Smartphone of the Year’ at a recognised Mobile Awards night and although all reviews have been positive, it failed to make a significant impact in the UK. Market share grew by just over 1% to 5.6% but fell short of the target of 10% that HTC sought after. The latest release is set to be a ‘make or break’ handset for the Taiwanese company but is certainly worth a look at! Eden Director Richard Kennedy is an avid fan of the M8, commenting ‘The handset does all that I need and more! It is more sturdy than the Samsung and Apple products I have used, expandable memory and a great design. Dare I say, I will probably never use an iPhone again!’
