This is by far the best phone I've ever owned. There's simply no comparison. It's design was, some may even argue "is", revolutionary thus the countless Design Awards this phone collected. I still have mine and it's used as a "starter" phone for my kids...

        Though I never owned one, the HTC One m8 is still imo one of the best looking phones till date. It’s sleek design, unibody aluminium construction, and dual front facing speakers is a beauty.

        Am not a fan of the fad of wireless charging.. a full aluminium back feels way better than glass or plastic, and a whole lot more durable too. Hopefully someone would create a similar looking phone with such a build quality but with updated specs for internals, better screen aspect ratio, smaller bezels and slightly less rounded sides.

        Please bring back aluminium backed phones 🥺🥺

            The HTC M8 is most viewed phone on GSMArena's website with 27.8M views but your statistics page suggests that the most viewed phone is the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro with 26.3M views!
            The M8 is not even on the list!

                  HTC One M8 smartphone owners get the new Android 4.4. 3 KitKat update over the air that brings along the support for 4G LTE networks. Apart from that, the software update also brings support for 4G LTE networks to the HTC One M8. The One M8 supports a 2300 Mhz 4G LTE network supported by Airtel.

                    Both the pixel and HTC are a failed brand.... coincidence I think not!

                        Most amazing sounding phone I ever had in that time. I had the m8 eye. later I switched to HTC 10, that was the downfall of HTC! It didn't have the balanced stereo speaker setup but one thing is it had ois for the front cam! Like we have 4k 60fps recording for no reason in these days.

                          This was my first Android phone, (Well the M7 was, then upgraded to the M8) I love this phone and I had no issues with this device. I actually still have my M8 in its original box because it's just my favorite smartphone of all time. The sound coming out of that thing was untouched at release.

                            I used to have both (Android + Windows). They look pretty identical when hooked with the Dot View. I used to hand in one when arriving at my school (my school doesn't allow phones) and keep the second one to me. My teacher never knew I have two phones!

                              Ask yourself, was it easy to get a HTC or LG phone, specially in Teir 3 cities?

                                Best androd smartphone brand in history. Pioneer in many things. HTC please come back to smartphone market, and smash all like you always do. HTC Sensetion, HTC One S, HTC ONE M7, HTC One A9, HTC ONE M8, HTC U 11 and HTC U12+ i had, and remove to Chinese brand, after HTC break down smartphone make. HTC Sense i'ts best Android skin, more future than android pixel(one), but same not have and fast expiriance. Please back HTC.

                                  Razr 5G Fan, 04 Oct 2021Being innovative like Palm, HTC, and LG can get you out of ... moreImpossible to find a complete review.

                                  My phone has many features I did not know they were there before buying it because no review has ever talked about them.
                                  Too much focus on stuff like charging speed, megapixels, nits, hertz and mAh. While too little focus on many other stuff phones have.

                                    I had the HTC Desire HD, and still have it, though it does not work! One of the best built phones ever! Rugged and stylish at the same time.
                                    I its handling of battery backup, after sales service and supply chain issues lead to the decline of this wonderful brand..

                                      Problem is, people didn't take music phones seriously. That's why HTC and LG failed.

                                      Come on people, you yourself know the best camera in the world can never be on a phone, unless you plonk a sim slot in a Medium format DSLR.
                                      But at least you could've had the near-to-best music player if you supported them enough. That's one less gadget to own, does it sound so bad?

                                      We have LG's Quad DAC, which is kickass. And things could've been far better if fans supported. What's so bad about an all rounding but music oriented phone? Why doesn't it excite people? Could anyone share their opinion?
                                      I own a LG g8x and I have a time of life while travelling, such awesome, high quality music. I'm only sad coz it won't have a successor.

                                        here we go again...
                                        many people talking about an "innovative" brand...
                                        did we support it?
                                        or we support the mediocre phones?
                                        innovative ones has been closing their doors...
                                        lg, htc is dying, sony is dying...
                                        those "once" innovative were just complying... samsung ehem, apple ehem...
                                        see the pattern?
                                        good guys either leave or turn bad... because we dont patronize the good...
