Guest PaulOBrien Posted August 4, 2015 Report Posted August 4, 2015 HTC have today released the Android 5.1 update for European M9 models. Weighing in at a 831.88MB download, the update brings the device to the latest Android release - 5.1.1, with the only other entry in the sparse changelog indicating a 'charging time improvement'. The 5.0 variants of Android Lollipop have been fairly roundly criticised for being rough around the edges and in particularly, power hungry. This release should improve the device across the board.The HTC M9 took a lot of flak at release, but subsequent updates have made the device a more appealing prospect for buyers. Camera refinements (including RAW support but sadly not Camera2 API support) and improved performance, thermal management and battery life mean that while from an imaging perspective the device can't keep up with the S6 or G4 at the highest end, the M9 is an all-round decent phone now.Are you a M9 user? Let us know your thoughts on the new update and how the device has matured. View full item
