Description

The new HTC One (E8) is a lower priced version of the HTC One (M8), which retains most of its premium specs, but the metal sheen is replaced with that of polycarbonate. The main duo-camera gives way to a no-frills 13MP single rear cam with a BSI sensor and f/2.2 aperture, capable of 1080p video recording. The One E8 has the same 5-inch 1080p display and runs on the same Snapdragon 801 quad-core CPU with 2GB of RAM. It has 16GB of storage on-board, along with a microSD slot with support for up to 128GB cards. The front camera remains the same 5MP selfie champ. The battery capacity is a decent 2600mAh, and since the E8 is a unibody phone, it won't be user-replaceable. The phone runs Android 4.4 KitKat with HTC Sense 6 on top and has two nano SIM slots.

This device is also known as HTC M8 Ace, HTC One 'Vogue Edition'

Excellent Phone
Phone owned for less than a month

Good job htc, high-end spec and mid range price. Light mat gray color looks great and curvy back feels good in hand. In my opinion battery should not be less than 3000 mah for this type of hardware. Sense6 and UI speed are awesome. My last phone was LG G2 and now i am really enjoying this phone.

Great phone but very similar to S4 from a year ago in specs.
Phone owned for less than 3 months

I would of expected a newer phone to have newer insides, especially a flagship phone, but in this case it is very comparable to the S4 after its last software update. Still better than the iphone 6 /6 plus and the galaxy s5 but your still better off going with the lg g3 or the s4.

Excellent phone. Worth the money.
Phone owned for less than a month

I am a really big fan of HTC. Generally HTC phones are a bit overpriced but this phone is definitely worth buying. All high end features for a reasonable price. I really like the white glossy finish on the backside. Feels great to own a HTC phone. I wish HTC keeps manufacturing such phone for a affordable price.
