Comparison review
Samsung Galaxy S25 is just a bit better than the HTC One M9, with a global score of 82.6 against 77.7. Both phones we are comparing here use Android OS, but Samsung Galaxy S25 has a more recent 14 version and HTC One M9 has Android 5.0, so it offers a couple nice extra features. The Samsung Galaxy S25 is a notably thinner and incredibly lighter cellphone than the HTC One M9.
Samsung Galaxy S25 has a little more vivid display than HTC One M9, because although it has a just a little worse pixels density, it also counts with a bit higher resolution of 1080 x 2340 pixels and a larger screen. The HTC One M9 has a very superior processor than Galaxy S25, because although it has a smaller amount of RAM memory, and they both have the same number of cores, the HTC One M9 also counts with a GPU and a 64-bit CPU.
The Galaxy S25 features a much better memory to store more apps and games than HTC One M9, because although it has no external SD slot, it also counts with 128 GB internal storage capacity. Galaxy S25 counts with a much longer battery performance than HTC One M9, because it has 4000mAh of battery capacity instead of 2840mAh.
Galaxy S25 captures a lot better photographs and videos than HTC One M9, because it has a much better resolution back facing camera, a bigger aperture to take better low-light images and video, a much larger back camera sensor taking more light and vivid colors and a much higher 7680x4320 video definition.
Although Galaxy S25 is a better device, it is way more expensive than HTC One M9, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as HTC One M9. So if you need that extra specs and features, you can buy the Galaxy S25, but if you don't you can save a couple dollars and get the HTC One M9, resigning a couple specs and features.
