Hands on with the HTC One M9 #MWC15

Shiny Editor Holly goes hands-on with the brand new flagship HTC One M9 Android smartphone at its launch, held at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.

HTC One M9 UK launch date

The One M9 will be available to preorder in the UK from the 20th of March, and will begin shipping on the 2nd of April. That’s 8 days before the Galaxy S6, slightly pipping Samsung to the post!

HTC One M9 UK price

The folks at Mobiles.co.uk (owned by Dixons Carphone) tell us that the HTC One M9 is expected to cost between £35 and £39 a month on contract in the UK. Pretty standard for a flagship, and you’re getting a whole lot of beautiful tech for your money.

If you’re going for a One M9 on contract (and we can’t imagine many people will be buying it outright!), you’ll get your choice of free NOW TV Entertainment Pass, Sky Sports Mobile TV or Spotify Premium if you get it on Vodafone’s 4G network. Which is a welcome bonus when you’re spending a bit more for a flagship.
