The more powerful and beautiful HTC One M9 sits on the HTC Grip of the famous sports underwear brand, and stands on the HTC Vive of VR virtual reality with a more promising future. In MWC 2015, HTC launched three product design areas, and cooperated with many partners to seek more potential development space.
HTC's latest flagship HTC One M9 is certainly the most interesting and "surprising" in MWC 2015. In addition to the fact that the HTC One M9 is basically the same as the data exposed a while ago, there is also little difference in the appearance design between the "Surprise" and the HTC One (M8). The iconic and maligned multi chin design continues.

On the HTC One M9, it is absolutely necessary to mention the hardware configuration parameters, because all aspects of it are highly consistent with the HTC One (M8). There is really not much to say without mentioning the hardware configuration. In terms of performance in all aspects, the HTC One M9 is more like the Plus or enhanced version of the HTC One (M8) than a new flagship model.
HTC One M9 uses Snapdragon 810 processor, which will have more powerful performance than HTC One (M8), but it is estimated that there is little difference in daily use and system performance. After all, HTC One (M8) has always been the leader of Android models. In addition, it is probably a little more compact, and it is really just a little more compact. If the battery capacity is a little bigger, the battery life may be a little better.
First, it is natural that HTC One M9 complements the weakness of HTC One (M8) in parameters. UltraPixel, which has a good concept but is insufficient, is replaced by a front camera. I believe that it will play a greater role in the self portrait of the front camera. The HTC One M9 rear camera is a 20 megapixel CMOS from Toshiba, and the parameters have been improved. I don't know how the actual performance is.
So the problem is that the HTC One M9 is the HTC One (M8) without sincerity? Of course not. The reason for not making major changes is that HTC Chairman Wang Xuehong said that HTC One (M8) has done well enough, but there is still a little surprise in details.
The HTC One M9 will be launched in four colors, namely, Tuhaojin, Northeast Silver, underworld and pink girls. The frame of each color is gold, highlighting a moat. In addition, the HTC One M9 adopts the double coating process and the drawing lines of the gem process level to achieve a more beautiful visual sense of hierarchy and feel. And the power key is also changed from the top to the side, which is quite a big change, in the update of HTC One M9. Of course, the HTC One M9 also has the iconic BoomSound dual speakers, and has Dolby Audio support, which will also improve the hearing experience.
So the final question is, should I upgrade? In fact, as far as the performance of HTC One (M8) is concerned, it has achieved a benchmark and perfection in terms of performance, overall smoothness and workmanship, which really makes it difficult for HTC One M9 to make breakthroughs, so you can only see that HTC One M9 is basically a minor repair. In addition to the improvement in photography, if you hold the HTC One M8, then the HTC One M9 is not very attractive to you.
In addition to the well-known main dish of HTC One M9, HTC has also moved out two front dishes or desserts. As early as the beginning of this year, HTC cooperated with the sports underwear brand Under Armour, and HTC Grip was the first achievement of their cooperation.
HTC Grip can be managed through the UA Record platform. In fact, it relies on the software system management function of Under Armour. This platform with a large number of users has also brought many potential users to HTC Grip. HTC Grip positioning is an advanced sports enthusiast. It is equipped with a variety of sensors and GPS, which can work independently. The mobile phone has become a display of synchronized data and display functions.
HTC Grip only has one color and three sizes, and there are very few choices, but it also has a certain relationship with its positioning as an advanced sports enthusiast. HTC Grip uses a 160 * 32 1.8 inch PMOLED curved touch screen. The 100mAh battery can stand by for 2.5 days and GPS recording for 5 hours. It supports IP57 protection level and two-hour fast charge.
However, the HTC Grip is actually a fresh and boring product. Through the cooperation with Under Armour, a well-known sports underwear brand, and the UA Record platform, HTC Grip has a good prospect of sales and use, which is very fresh for HTC. The boring thing is that HTC Grip does not have obvious advantages and differences with the same type of products on the market at present in all aspects. Without the HTC logo, it may be just a chicken rib sports bracelet.
Compared with HTC One M9 and HTC Girp, HTC Vive based on VR virtual reality is a bit unexpected, which is naturally because there is no news exposure before, and also because HTC Vive is more about the strategic significance of occupying the pit. Of course, what is more surprising is that when you look at the perfect HTC One M9 and the well behaved HTC Grid, you will be surprised by the ugly sense of technology of HTC Vive.
HTC said that VR virtual reality is not only used in games, but also has greater prospects and possibilities in other fields, so HTC Vive came on the scene. (Is such an overbearing reason really possible?) HTC Vive is one of the products that HTC cooperates with VALVE, and HTC will also have several game companies and content providers to cooperate, not only in games, but also to provide more content to solve the fatigue of VR virtual reality products in use scenarios.
HTC Vive is mainly aimed at Full Room Scale, that is, the sense of realization in the room space. Mainly through 70 sensors on the body full of scientific and technological ugliness, the content in front of you will have a real sense of distance, audio and video in the room as if it were real, providing a more obvious three-dimensional sense of reality.
HTC One M9, HTC Grip and HTC Vive respectively cover mobile phones, smart devices and VR virtual reality. The former is HTC's current core project, and the latter two are hot spots in the future or near future. From the cooperation of these three products in three fields and HTC, HTC wants to make a difference and remain stable in the future. However, in terms of products, these three products did not bring any actual breakthrough and attraction, more like being for the sake of existence.
