WHAT's in a name, Shakespeare once said; and boy, was he right! Take the HTC One E9+ for instance: normally you'd associate the 'E' bit with a plasticised (read, inferior) version of the company's more premium flagship phone, the M9+ in this case. We are sure many would have already written the One E9+ off based on that assumption alone.
Of course some of this assumption also stems from the fact that the One M9+ was itself a mediocre flagship, or as we said in our review -- a flagship that left a lot to be desired.
But HTC has a habit of surprising us every time it's down in the dumps. While last year's One E8 was as good as the M8 (which was a good phone too by the way), this year's One E9+ does things better. In fact, the One E9+ puts the company's mediocre flagship One M9+ to shame.
