A Snapdragon 810 Octa-Core CPU means the unlocked, gunmetal gray HTC One M9 32GB Smartphone features not one, but two 64-bit quad-core processors, one that is 2 GHz and one that is 1.5 GHz - enough for even the most intensive 3D gaming. On top of the CPU, it features an Adreno 430 GPU for even more robust graphics performance behind its 5", Full HD screen and there is 3GB of RAM for a further boost. Mobile photographers will appreciate the 20-megapixel rear-facing camera, the highest to date in the One family. Plus, film makers aren't neglected either with the inclusion of 4K30, 1080p60, and 720p120 video recording. Additionally, the front camera has been bumped up to an UltraPixel for this generation of HTC's flagship.
The phone features 32GB built-in memory which can be further expanded using a separately available microSDXC card up to 128GB. For connecting to a computer and charging there is a micro-USB port with MHL support and there is a 3.5mm headphone/mic input combo jack. Apart from 4G LTE broadband communications, there is Wi-Fi so you can surf the Web and stream movies without eating into your data allotment - an available access point required. Bluetooth 4.1 is provided for headsets, linking to a computer or tablet, or connecting with other close-range devices while consuming substantially less power than Wi-Fi would require.
