How much free space do you have right now on your phone? If you know without having to look, chances are good that you need more space. Even if you have room to spare, more space is never a bad thing.

The HTC One M9 might be a good update to a great phone, but it was somewhat surprising that it was unveiled with only 32GB of storage. In our increasingly media-rich lives, that amount of space can fill up rather quickly, and with phones launching with 128GB of storage, being limited to a quarter of that space can leave you feeling cramped.

The M9 does feature a MicroSD card slot, so storage is expandable, but more onboard storage is still preferable for many people. The good news is that it appears a 64GB HTC One M9 is on the way. The bad news is that it isn’t yet clear if it will see worldwide release.

The only country that seems certain to get the 64GB version is Taiwan, as the source of this new information is the Taiwanese website ePrice (here’s a link to the a Google Translate version). HTC has yet to announce a release of the 64GB One M9 anywhere else in the world.

Fortunately, if the 64GB HTC One M9 does make it outside of Taiwan, it seems that it won’t cost much more than the 32GB version. While the 32GB phone is listed at 21,900 TWD, which translates to roughly $693, the 64 GB version lists for 23,900 TWD, or $756.

We spent some time with the HTC One M9 earlier this month, so for a further look at it, check out our hands-on coverage.

I traveled 8,000 miles to get an Android phone unlike any I’ve used before

The U.S. smartphone market is a well-known entity in 2024. Apple dominates the flagship space with the iPhone, Samsung's Galaxy S handsets are a reliable force every year, and Google's Pixel phones continue improving. But what about budget phones? There are some decent choices from Google, Motorola, and OnePlus, but your options are limited.

It's a trusty, if somewhat unexciting, swath of smartphones, especially when you get a glimpse at what's happening in other parts of the world. On a recent trip to India with MediaTek to see the company's presence in the Indian tech market firsthand, I was given the Lava Agni 3 — a new smartphone release from the India-based company Lava.

The Nubia Z70 Ultra just gave the Galaxy S25 Ultra some tough competition
A render of the Nubia Z70 Ultra.

With all eyes on Samsung and the upcoming Galaxy S25 release, it's easy to forget about other players on the field. And the Nubia Z70 Ultra could be the underdog competitor no one considered. This powerful phone was just announced in China and will see a global launch on November 26 for roughly $635.

This phone has a lot going for it, but the absolute first thing that catches the eye is the breathtakingly gorgeous design. I'm a fan of Post-Impressionist art, and I have to say that the Starry Night pattern looks better than any case could dream of, but this handset is no slouch in the specs department either. It comes with the same display as the RedMagic 10 Pro and has a screen-to-body ratio of more than 95%. The Nubia Z70 Ultra uses a 16MP underdisplay camera rather than a pinhole camera, giving the screen a more complete look.

Since the iPhone 14 series in 2022, the regular iPhone has consistently been Apple’s top-selling handset, and it’s not even close.
