2160p video is very detailed but with very narrow field of view 1080p output is wider, but is trailing behind the competition in terms of detail.Primary camera outputs good-looking well-exposed 20.7MP images, though colors are a bit warm.Mediatek Helio X10 delivers solid CPU performance, but the GPU fails to keep up.Latest version of Sense UI is feature-rich, without being overly heavy, offers a lot of room for customization.Battery life is nothing spectacular, the 59-hour endurance rating is average and the balanced numbers suggest the obvious - a larger capacity cell would have been welcome.Its maximum brightness is only average though. The display is gorgeous in every way - sharp, with neutral colors, excellent viewing angles and one of the highest contrast ratios we've seen.The body is rather tall for the screen size.The phone looks attractive, though materials aren't of particularly high quality.

The sensor is complemented by a very proficient app, another testament to the software engineers behind Sense. While admittedly a notch below the very best, the newly adopted 20.7MP shooter is capable of some fine images, which stand up well to pixel-level scrutiny. With the UltraPixel tech sidelined, the camera is no longer the main source of complaints with HTC high-enders.

The video player could use some work, but HTC apparently thinks that users download third party apps to handle that task anyway and a basic solution is all that's needed just to get going. It's stylish, consistent between apps and offers plenty of opportunities for those keen to personalize.

On a positive side, the software package is as good as it gets - Sense is as polished as ever in its 7th iteration and remains one of the better Android overlays. The E9+ is yet another high-end handset to come with less than ideal footprint, but some music lovers might not mind it too much. HTC's phones were never the most compact, but at least they have the stereo speakers to show for it.

Why HTC went with it is the next question, but we'd probably need to ask the accounting department to find the answer. The two are so unevenly matched that it makes you wonder how Mediatek decided to pair them in the first place. Yet graphics performance is nowhere near the competition as the GPU is simply not in the same league as the processor. If looked at CPU benchmarks alone, you'd conclude that the E9+ is ready to fight the big boys. It may not be the brightest, but there's little fault to find with it elsewhere. Yes, the HTC One E9+ has an excellent 5.5-inch QHD display, which, we'd recommend in a heartbeat. Also, the metal unibody of the One M9 could be scaled up to 5.2 inches for the M9+, but not to 5.5 inches? But what if you want the large diagonal and, say, a fingerprint sensor? You'll have to look elsewhere. The HTC One E9+ is the phablet in the range and that's its main selling point, simply because the rest of the models are smaller. Each model comes with a set of compromises and instead of getting praised for what it does have, the One M9 generation of smartphones ends up being an easy target for criticism. In the end we get some distribution of features among a myriad of devices. It could be argued that the company attempted to specifically cater to different users in a bid to grab a wider market share. HTC's densely populated high-end lineup has a different model for everyone, but not one that covers all bases.
