Anonymous, 04 May 2014plz tell me m8 cam better than 16mp cam is it?In short, NO. 4 Megapixels (or Ultra as per hTC) can NOT beat a 16 mp snapper. Apply the math here. 16 mp will catch more details, so if you need a larger print 16 mp will be definitely better than 4 mp.
However per pixel quality will be better on hTC, as the sensor size is bigger. Also as the sensor size is bigger it will allow more light, thus resulting at better night / low light shots.
If you need only camera in a phone, then M8 is not your thing. However those people who purchase a mobile phone for camera only, well I doubt their judgement!

Had the m8 for a couple of weeks, and it's an excellent phone.
The camera has superb low-light performance, with good shots at night without flash. The extra functionality, such as ufocus, while not particularly necessary, are fun to play around with. Zooming in reveals some noise, which may not be the case with higher megapixel cameras, but I don't need to print or crop, so that's not a problem - and I prefer having the low-light capabilities. I never use the front selfie camera, but I guess some people might find that useful.
What I find really stunning is the sound quality. With headphones, the quality is pretty much like any decent phone. But the speaker quality is amazing, with excellent volume, bass, and a nice rich tone. I don't like wearing headphones all the time, and often when by myself prefer a more natural sound. Watching videos with such good audio is a joy. I would recommend the phone for this feature alone.
A couple of minor complaints: the volume button is a bit sensitive, so I often find myself lowering the volume or silencing the phone by mistake; secondly, it's a bit slippery without the case, though I'd probably have put a case on, anyway.
Oh, and for once, most of the bloatware is actually useful (blinkfeed, for example).
Overall, a great phone.

Soo, has anyone in here complaining about the camera actually used the new m8?
For a phone and in direct comparison with the iPhone, z1 compact it's on par with them and if anything has more accurate colour reproduction. That's just the rear camera. The front camera blows everything else away, helped me catch the most memorable "selfie" pic with my daughter yesterday.

AnonD-209413, 03 May 2014pls guys!! all the discussion here are CAMERAs??? is this a... moreLol, well said. But you know nowadays people don't carry a camera everywhere, and what if something happens worth capturing? That's why people look for a capable camera. I am not saying M8's camera isn't capable, but if you look at the rivals, that is Z2, G2, S5, even S4, well you know the answer.
I personally am a hater of mobile phone cameras, I use, or try to use my NEX always, but that always is not always, but my cell phone is always with me.
Hope you understand what I am trying to say.

Just got my M8 today Malaysia.. From Bright star distribution.. Couldn't be happier to get this baby..
Awesome built, seamless performance, and less fussy then Samsung...
I had been using S2,then S4, 5 and 5S and can say nothing beats it.. The audio quality, the built, and os optimisation..
Hesitate? Don't! Get this and you will not regret each penny spent on it!

Most people don't think analytically and they don't concern about the real-life performances. All they concern is specs. They think that higher specs mean the performances are better. I have used the M7 and currently I'm using the M8. I've been using this phone since two weeks and I'm extremely happy with it. Similarly, few of my friends who bought the Galaxy S5 are now quite disappointing with it. They were really impressed about the M8 after I showed it and some of them are now planning to sell their S5 and buy a M8.
They showed me how lagging is the S5 while my M8 is super smooth. The camera of S5 is only good at daylight, its law-light performances are horrible. But the M8 is good at any condition, no matter what you can take a perfect photo. The only advantage of the S5 over the M8 is zooming capability. The M8 camera is not quite good at zooming because of its lower resolution.
Overall the M8 is the best phone in the world right now.

Now I'm using HTC M8 which has a brilliant camera which took many steps forward to its predecessor. S4 & S5 camera is the same. Z1 & Z2 camera is the same. but coming to HTC M7 & M8 has taken camera department into a new era. And no one is applauding HTC unless people are being to badmouth HTC. It is not that I love HTC products, HTC phones are quitly brilliant. God bless HTC. HTC M8 will be crowned best phone in 2014. HTC for life no matter what

I really love HTC phones. I think the camera is great, I'm saying this because I sure own one. I wonder how many of these people diss the camera without actually having one and depending their opinion on paper. Forget the prejudice first and try it out for yourself.

I really love htc phones, they are fast and fluid, buid quality are good, but only thing whis is keeping me away from this phone is camera, I don't buy this phone because of camera has only 4 Up. I know, in low light are ok, but I'm doing one picture from 100 in low light.....I hope htc will put better camera in next one...
