The wait is over!
It’s been months and months of wait and finally HTC is here with HTC One M8! There were so many things we expected out of it so let’s see how much has been delivered to us.
First things first, the phone looks stunning! It comes with a 5-inch screen with resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution. The capacitive keys have been replaced by virtual navigation keys. What company calls “Motion Launch” is the ability to lock and unlock the device with double tap on the screen or activate it with a single swipe.
HTC One M8 is powered by Snapdragon 801 2.3GHz quad-core processor. It comes with two rear-facing cameras, they call it “Duo Cameras”. The rear camera remains 4 “UltraPixels” and the front one is 5 megapixel. It comes with 32GB internal memory which is expandable up to 128GB via microSD card. It also comes with 50GB of Google Drive storage for two years.
The Duo Cameras allow user to refocus shots after they have been taken. There is a lot you can do with the cameras. HTC is also opening its camera API to third-party developers.
There is a new power saver mode with a larger battery which ensures 40% longer battery life. Not just that, the two front-facing BoomSound speakers remain and they promise 25% louder sound
