Verdict
Taking the display size, operating system, RAM, and battery life into consideration, the One M9+ Plus seems to be of good value for the ones who wouldn't prefer an oversized device.

One M9+ also offers a better RAM space, as compared to the One E9+. In terms of battery life, the One M9+, fuelled by 2840mAh Li-Po battery, is superior too.

But if you prefer a handset with a much larger display and are not considering to buy a tablet , you can go forward for the 5.5-inch E9+ phablet.

The One M9+ handset will be available in three colours- Gunmetal Gray, Silver Gold, Amber Gold. HTC One E9+ will be launched in colours like Meteor Gray, Classic Rose Gold, Gold Sepia.
