Galaxy S21 FE has a score of 89.1, which is better than HTC One M9's 77.7 overall score. Both devices in this comparison review work with Android OS (operating system), but the Galaxy S21 FE has a newer 11 version while HTC One M9 has Android 5.0, so it provides some additional features and some performance improvements. The Galaxy S21 FE is a noticeably newer and somewhat thinner cellphone than HTC One M9, although it's just a little bit heavier.
The HTC One M9 has a better display than Galaxy S21 FE, because although it has a really smaller screen and a bit worse resolution of 1920 x 1080, it also counts with a quite higher pixels count in each inch of screen. HTC One M9 has a bit more powerful CPU than Samsung Galaxy S21 FE, because although it has a lower amount of RAM, and they both have 8 cpu cores, the HTC One M9 also counts with a 64-bit processing unit and a GPU.
HTC One M9 captures a little bit better pictures and videos than Galaxy S21 FE, because although it has slower 30 fps video frame rates and a tinier aperture which is not favorable for taking images in low-light environments, and they both have the same 3840x2160 video quality, the HTC One M9 also counts with a camera in the back with a much better 20 megapixels resolution.
Galaxy S21 FE features much more memory capacity to install games and applications than HTC One M9, because although it has no SD memory slot, it also counts with 96 GB more internal storage. Galaxy S21 FE counts with a way better battery duration than HTC One M9, because it has a 4500mAh battery size instead of 2840mAh.
Although Galaxy S21 FE is a better device, it costs a lot more money than the HTC One M9, and it doesn't have such a good relation between it's price and quality as HTC One M9. So if you need that extra specs and features, you can buy the Galaxy S21 FE, otherwise you can save some dollars and get the HTC One M9, resigning some specifications.
