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

Sleek metallic good looks
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

Abstract: It's rare these days to attend a high-profile smartphone launch without a good idea of the new product's design, specification, and sometimes performance too, thanks to the assiduous work of numerous rumour sites and leak-peddlers. So it was with HTC's 20...
Beautiful all-metal design with brushed-metal finish, Duo Camera delivers great imagery, Top of the line performance, Long battery life, Motion Launch is a nice touch
The phone has a slippery feel that makes it difficult to grip, No enhancements to the display or HTC's UltraPixel technology
The new HTC One is a great smartphone that does a lot of fantastic things. We can tell that the company listened to feedback, focused on areas that needed improvement and added some innovative new features that are actually useful along the way. The new d...

HTC could've played it safe with the new One. Followed the crowd; put in a fast chip and a big display, and taken the easy route. Whether that would've actually done the firm any good is a question we can't - and needn't - answer, since instead the One ...
Seamless design that’s even more gorgeous than ever, Great frontfacing stereo speakers, Duo effects add that professional look to our photos, Sense 6.0 is a clean & modern looking skin, Motion Launch gestures give us quick access functionality
‘UltraPixel’ camera is still an underperformer, Not waterproof like many other flagships
HTC isn’t wasting any time in getting its flagship out and into the hands of hungry consumers. In just a short time, we’ve witnessed the unveilings and announcements of several flagship smartphones, but it’s comforting to see that HTC is aggressive wit...

Best industrial design we've ever seen in an Android smartphone, Outstanding multimedia performance, Most powerful, responsive UI available outside of stock Android, Powerful specifications, Cohesive, fluid experience across hardware & software
Low-res camera has same handicaps as last year's, Gesture-unlock features slightly undercooked, Large footprint for a 5-inch device,
In the world of smartphones, the very best products are those which deliver consistency across the physical and the virtual. Those which feel as good as they look. Those whose performance lives up to their hardware. With the M8, HTC has crafted just su...

The HTC One M8's sumptuous aluminum body makes a beautiful background for this top-flight smartphone's brilliant 5-inch display. It runs on a powerful quad-core processor and Android KitKat, the stereo speakers deliver excellent sound, and the depth-sensi
The One M8's battery is not user-removable, making it harder to replace once the battery inevitably wears out. The phone's sealed chassis is not water-resistant, and the One M8's photos look less sharp than competitors'
Elegant style, raw power, and sophisticated features make the HTC One M8 an excellent smartphone choice for anyone but the most exacting photographer....
Abstract: It is considered poor form to begin a review with the conclusion, but there's really no reason to drag this out: the HTC One (M8) is the best Android phone the world has ever seen. Period. Full stop. Of this, there is no doubt. In many ways, in fact, it i...
