Isn’t this handset what you were expecting at? Are you already thinking of selling it? You should perform a hard reset before you hand it over to its next owner. You probably know that it’s best way to keep your information private and secure, so make no mistake or you might regret it later. By initializing this process, you will lose all the data stored in your HTC One’s M9 memory and this is exactly what you need in case of selling it.
