Description

The new HTC One (M8) comes with a radically different than all else 'Duo' camera (this refers to the two rear cameras on its back) that allows you things like selecting the focus of an image after you capture it.The new One also comes with the latest Snapdragon 801 quad-core system chip, an even more intense aluminum unibody construction, and 25% more powerful BoomSound front-facing stereo speakers. And it's not just that - HTC has improved the phone all around, even adding expandable storage via microSD cards of up to 128 gigs. Actually, the only change we can think of in the new One that could possibly bring forth some negativism is the increased overall footprint of the device - it's just larger and a bit bulkier.

This device is also known as HTC One (2014), HTC One (M8) Harman Kardon edition, HTC One (M8) Google Play edition

robust!
Phone owned for more than a year

build quality is surprisingly really good! i mean this phone can be the Nokia 3310 of year 2014.

Camera produces really good pics but more pixels might have been better.......................enough!

farid
Phone owned for more than a year

Usually I hardly ever give feedback to anything unless I'm super satisfied with the product or very unsatisfied, actually I have never been super satisfied with any products that I bought but today I realised that the only product that I have been super satisfied in my life is my legendary HTC One m8 which I have been using it very heavy on a daily basis for 3 years and this thing gives me nothing but excellent performance and by far greatest experience of my life amongst all the things that I have ever bought, this phone has never given me any problems at all during this 3 years and not even a frozen screen and it still performs excellent just like the first day when I bought it despite using a 64gb micro SD card after the first few months of using it and this astonishing device looks like it will last me a decade or so. Thank you HTC for making such an excellent phone in fact the best phone of all times.

Still the best
Phone owned for less than a year

after 9 months of usage i could say it's still the beast when it comes to performance, specially after it was updated to marshmallow. no hiccups even with extensive and heavy usage, but heats up pretty quick though. camera could be a bummer to some, but for me, who mostly uses pictures for viewing and social media purposes, its okay. solid-sounding speakers, nice and shiny body (own a Gold one) but kinda slippery. it could still fight with the latest flagships out there. and if i were to choose what phone am i going to use, a newer flagship or this, i'd still pick this.
