The first two replies I received after posting a photo of the HTC One M9 on Twitter next to its predecessor, the near-identical One (M8), said "if it ain't broke, don't fix it."
Sensible advice for anyone who wants to make good use of the toolkit they got for Christmas, but for a smartphone manufacturer the industry is moving at such breakneck speed that any signs of complacency are shot down by the press quicker than you can say 'evolution not revolution'. True enough, the M9 looks almost exactly the same as the year-old M8. They both have the same screen, the same resolution, and almost identical brushed aluminium bodies with dual Boom Sound speakers.
HTC hasn't been lazy - it has improved the One's internals, changed both cameras, made some subtle but crucial ergonomic changes, updated the software and will continue to keep Apple on its toes.
HTC One (M8) Review
Even Better Than the Original
But in light of Samsung making a return trip to the drawing board to produce the Galaxy S6, will this be enough? Will consumers accept the new boss being the same as the old boss?
