HTC One M8 Smartphone Review
The HTC One was the best handset of 2013
As awarded at MWC 2014. It's also won numerous awards for having the best design so it only makes sense that HTC made the best even better! I've had this for a week now
And being a g

So here’s what you need to know
The HTC One (M8) is the most beautiful Android phone ever made. No question. In fact
We’d go so far as to say that only Apple’s iPhone 5 and 5s are better looking - and they’re much smaller. The new one is wrapped in metal from screen edge to screen edge
And the slick brushed metal reminds us of Apple’s older iPod touch models
Only much more streamlined. Even t

Fine HD screen
Powerful processor
The brightest
Sharpest screen you've ever seen
Lightspeed processing
Extra features like Blinkfeed and the second camera sensor are a revelation
The editors didn't like
Still a 4-megapixel camera with limitations
Large size won't suit all users
Ufocus bokeh effect is hit and miss
2GB RAM is a bit of a disappointment
Might be a bit large and unwieldy for some
Expensive (but then again all premium phones are!)
It's so similar to last year's One M8 that it's already old news. The camera is unable to balance exposure and it has inconsistent white balance
Screen suffers in sunlight and viewing angles are not the best
Camera is good but not best in class
Photos lack fine detail
Music could time better
Let’s talk problems with the HTC One (M8) - but let’s also make clear that we’re nitpicking. The main one we have is with the navigation buttons - last year’s HTC One sported two below the screen
Worked into the bezel
But this year’s model works in the more standard Home
Back and Multi-tasking onto the display itself. It’s easier to use
But here’s the thing - the bottom bezel remains just as
Camera poor in bright light
It's even bigger than last year's model
So small hands may feel the burn
Pictures lack detail
Body could have been shorter
Slippery in cold hands
Not everyone will like Sense 6
Resolution of rear snapper is lower than other phones
Dot View case is frustrating
Slippery when held with cold hands. Sense 6 isnt for everyone but a Google Play Edition M8 is also on the way. Rear camera resolution lower than most
Adds bulk
Not waterproof
No water resistance
Slippery grip could lead to dropping
Camera still can't match iPhone 5S
Only 16GB of internal storage
Uncomfortable power button placement
$650 price is double the Nexus 5
No fingerprint sensor/IP67 certification
Blinkfeed can be annoying
Average camera
Lacks wireless charging
On
Screen buttons can get in the way
Exposure and chroma noise issues in photos
Duo camera doesn't work perfectly
Camera doesn't match quality of rivals
HTC's dedication to UltraPixel means no 4K video recording
68GB of unremovable system software is unusually steep

So if you skipped through the rest of that to get to my conclusions the short version is that the HTC One (M8) excels at both benchmarks and real world usage. If you pick up the HTC One (M8) I think you'll be thrilled with the performance of the device an...

The HTC One (M8) will probably win a few awards for design, but we can guarantee that it will not make the list of best cameraphones of 2014. The unique Duo Camera on the One does allow for some extra creativity when you need an extra touch of flare for y...

The HTC One (M8)'s lasting power isn't in the same league as the Samsung Galaxy Note 3, HTC One max or any of Motorola's MAXX phones, but the phone doesn't claim to be. HTC has equipped the HTC One (M8) with a battery that gives enough power that you can ...

Abstract: Sequels, no matter what the medium, are difficult to pull off. As soon as you create a sequel to a great experience, you set a bar that will have catastrophic results if missed. The HTC One M8 is the sequel to the most successful phone HTC has ever made, ...
Abstract: HTC has found itself in a peculiar position. After releasing what was considered to be a fantastic Android device, the HTC One, it still finds itself lagging behind Samsung in terms of brand recognition and as well as market share. But with the HTC One (M...
Abstract: First of all, do not — I repeat — do not enter a store and touch the HTC One M8 unless you are ready to buy. It feels amazing to hold. It's huge for sure, but it feels so sculpted and smooth that it doesn't feel huge when you hold it. I am kicking myself ...
There is no doubt that the HTC One (M8) is the better smartphone of the two... for the most part. The one area where the Xperia Z1S easily steals the show is the camera, as HTC's UltraPixel thing continues to lag behind the competition. That is not to ...
