HTC One M9 can reportedly take on the latest iPhone device. Here is a comparison on how these two smartphones fare.

iPhone 6s Plus with its curved edges and metal unibody, is deemed one of the finest phablets in the market when it comes to design. The smartphone features an enhanced Touch ID fingerprint scanner, which is incorporated in its home button. Its size is also larger than its rival, and is available in four colors: rose gold, gold, gray and silver.

HTC One M9 smartphone, on the other hand, features a metal body. However, it is hand-polished to look shinier. The HTC One M9 does not have a fingerprint scanner, which is somewhat of a disadvantage of the HTC phone. When it comes to the colors, the HTC handset is available in gray options, as well as amber gold, gold/pink combination, and silver/gold combination, Tech Radar reported. 

iPhone 6s Plus rolled out with 3D Touch technology along with a hardware that can detect the extent of pressure being applied to its screen. The iPhone device also features an IPS LCD screen that measures 5.5 inches and has a resolution of 1080x1920 pixels by 401 pixels per inch density.

Meanwhile, the HTC One M9, features a super LCD3 screen that measures 5.0 inches and has a resolution of 1080x1920 pixels by 441 pixels per inch density.
