HTC One ME: The Hybrid 'One'

<p style="text-align: justify;">HTC has already announced two flagship smartphones for India and it seems that the company is not quite done. The One M9+ was a full metal flagship and the One E9+ was a larger plastic version of the device, but now there is another high end device which is a combination of the two. The One ME is brand new high-end device from the Taiwanese smartphone maker priced at Rs. 40,500 which falls between the M9+ and the E9+.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The HTC One ME uses the metal finish from the One M9+ on the front and the plastic finish at the back from the One E9+. The One ME runs on the same hardware as the One M9+ and even features the same fingerprint scanner below the display. The blend of plastic and metal is done well and HTC has used a seamless design. Even the flaps covering the slots (SIM and MicroSD) flush in with the body. The back is just like the E9+ and also houses the same 20MP camera with a dual-tone LED flash, ditching the dual-lens system from the M9+, which is a good decision by the manufacturer. The display is also the same as the One M9+ (5.2-inch, 2650x1440) so you can expect a sharp and vibrant picture on it.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><img alt="" src="http://bw-image.s3.amazonaws.com/HTC One ME (2).jpg" style="width: 1200px; height: 759px;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">The octa-core MediaTek chip works well just like the M9+ and doesn’t heat up all that much. You also get all the same software goodies including the new Sense UI over Android Lollipop, BlinkFeed, Zoe and so on. The camera performance is similar to the E9+, so it isn’t the most impressive camera out there, but definitely a fast one.&nbsp;</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><img alt="" src="http://bw-image.s3.amazonaws.com/HTC One ME (3).jpg" style="width: 1200px; height: 689px;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Overall the experience on the One ME is exactly the same as the previously announced flagships apart from the looks. The One ME is just another high-end option for consumers if they weren’t impressed with the looks of the One M9+ or the E9+. It is priced slightly higher than the E9+, but this is the HTC flagship that you should consider as the design feels a bit more refined than the other two.&nbsp;</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><img alt="" src="http://bw-image.s3.amazonaws.com/HTC One ME (4).jpg"></p>
