It also has a memory slot that can be used to add additional storage of up to 128 GB. It has 32 GB internal storage.
HTC has also focused on improving the quality of the camera on the One M9 which boasts of a 20.7 megapixel version at its rear and a 4 Ultrapixel camera for selfies in front. As for its battery, it now has a bigger 2,840 mAh non-replaceable version.
