HTC One M9 Launched at MWC 2015

There were a lot of leaks regarding the HTC M9 and a lot of conspiracy theories regarding the looks of the device.. But here we go HTC launched the M9 and oh boy!! it does look a lot like last year's M8. There are a few changes like the power button placement and a few lines etc. It still rocks a 5-inch 1080p LCD touchscreen but the internals aren't the same anymore.

Specifications:

Processor: Snapdragon 810Octa-Core (Quad Core 1.5Ghz Cortex A53 & Quad Core 2GHz Cortex A57)

RAM: 3GB 

Display: 5-inch Full HD (441ppi)

Storage: 32GB (expandable with MicroSD cards up to 128GB) 

Battery: 2840mAh

Cameras: Front: 4MP Ultrapixel

               Rear: 20.7MP

Android Version: 5.0 Lollipop with HTC Sense skin (reduces the out of box storage to 21GB)

Colors: Gunmetal Gray, Silver, Amber Gold, Rose Pink.

 

The HTC One M9 has the same awesome front firing speakers but with Dolby audio tuning this time.

One thing that was wrong with the M8 was the 4MP ultra-pixel shooter, it was great for low light imaging but sacrificed the resolution. The M9 however has moved on and has a new 20MP camera that ditches the depth sensing lens (thank god!!). The front camera however uses the same 4MP ultra-pixel technology to improve low light shots for night-time selfies.

So what are your thoughts on the M9 leave them below in the comment section. Fell free to +1 and share the post. Thanks

Enjoy!!

OnePlus One to ship without Cyanogenmod

We all know what a great device the OnePlus One is..  It was named as the flagship killer,  it has a great price point, had great specs and it shipped with Cyanogenmod.. 

The OnePlus One is coming to India and will be sold exclusively via Amazon.in
I was really excited about the device but here's what took away most of my excitement,  the OnePlus One will not be shipped with Cyanogenmod in India.  That's a bummer,  one of the most important reason people buy the OnePlus One is that it has Cyanogenmod out of the Box. Why would u plan so OnePlus?

Well here's what I have been hearing,  the fault is not from OnePlus's side it's Cyanogen who did this.  Cyanogen announced that it'll be granting it's right to use the OS in India to Micromax.

So what will the device be running when it comes to India? 
The device will have CM but it will not get any updates. OnePlus says that it's putting up their own first community build of the software and it'll be at its final stage in February.  This community build will be based on Android Lollipop,  so it'll be fast,  minimal and lightweight. OnePlus even promises a 2 years update guarantee after the final build is released.  So it looks like the device will be future proof and it'll be a good investment  considering the expected price, specs and looks.. 

So would you still consider buying the OnePlus One when it comes to India?? 
Was Cyanogenmod what you wanted?
Is the OnePlus One still appealing to you as it was earlier?
Feel free to leave a comment below, share..
