I'd get an LG G4 instead of the M9, unless you don't care about your phone overheating most of the time, unless it's using the 4 A53 cores only (power saver mode).
I have to agree on that one. The LG G4 in my opinion is better than the M9, and nevermind cheaper:
- Better screen, higher res and pixel density (QHD)
- Bigger, and removable 3000 mAh battery
- Better camera, with OIS and Laser Autofocus.
- Uses the 808 processor which does not have overheating issues like the 810
However it depends on personal preference mostly. Do you want the bigger 5.5 inch screen or are you more comfortable with the smaller 5 inch screen? Do you want the better speakers, or the better camera? Which skin do you prefer?
HTC did solve the overheating issue before the phone was released via a software update. According to them, the software wasn't finalized.
The LG 4G has a better screen and camera. A better value for money, however it's design and screen size aren't exactly my cup of tea. The only significant advantage for me is it's removable battery.
I had an M9 for 3 months, the overheating was less obvious with the FW update but still it could get very warm and you can nearly not holding it anymore specially during hot days we had in Lebanon, it's a good winter phone :)
The only advantage of M9 over G4 is the number of quality Roms, the G4 has only 2 or 3 roms, hopefully in the coming weeks more devs will come to G4.
But yeah the G4 is better, Peter Chou had to quit HTC because he the M9 is just an M8 with overheatings and bad camera
