HTC has released a new software update for the HTC One M9 which promises to improve the images captured by the company’s new flagship phone. We played around with the camera last night, but we took it out for a real test run today and tried to replicate a handful of the images that we previously captured with the HTC One M9.

Overall, the HTC One M9 shows slight improvements. Low light performance is still a bit muddy for out taste, but HTC’s software team has been able to tweak the default camera settings to improve image sharpness and color tone. The issues that we pointed out in our HTC One M9 review are still there, but they are less noticeable. We’ll be playing around the camera a lot over the weekend and hope to have a more conclusive report by early next week.

Take a look at the images below to see how they compare before and after the update. Keep in mind, the comparison shots have been framed to match the previous images that we captured with the HTC One M9, but the lighting conditions may be slightly different.

Do you think the HTC One M9’s camera update is enough to compete with the Samsung Galaxy S6?
