Anonymous, 24 Feb 2015I mean making phone calls on loudspeakers. The Z3 earpiece ... moreYeah. I know what you mean. For loud speaker on calls I don't know why, but many companies seem to make them really quiet.
Low loud speaker call volume is an issue. I was not aware of that. I know the music is great though. Decent volume and great quality for certain types of music. M8 still is a little more suited for bass.
And yeah their software stabilization is decent but ois would have been great.
Try some burst shots and some manual tweaks

      If everything goes according to plan I will return back to HTC's arms by purchasing the new HTC M9. I have been a fan of HTC since the Windows PocketPC with the HTC Wallaby (original XDA phone). I left my HTC Evo 4G LTE for a Nexus 4, then Nexus 5. Now, I think I'll return for the HTC M9... it's just that good. I hope HTC reclaims more market share. Now, if they could only include Qi wireless charging then it would be the perfect phone.

        Some pics are ok, but many of them are blurred and just sh.t. I tried bothe , the automatic and manual mode.

          Most peoples would rather get a better screen:body ratio than a stereo front speaker. You can't have both.

I have it since October and I am using it every day. Sometimes I was so often so close to throw it out of the window because the speakers volume were too low when making phone calls. And the camera is rubbish as well. Where are the 20.7 MP???
                I am going to get rid off it when the M9 and S6 are out.

                            I am now waiting for the M9 and S6.

                                  First off. They are far from first to use stereo speakers. And are not much better than some found years ago.
                                  Second the Z3 beat them last year despite having water protected membranes over the speakers.

                                    HTC GUY, 24 Feb 2015im pretty sure they have more than just boom sound going on mateAnd that's obviously not what they are implying.

                                      Okay, so they're improving the feature that could have gone entirely unchanged from last year and still remained the industry leader by a mile.
                                      And probably like the rest of us. I really hope the latest leaks are just decoy shells. The black bar has got to go. The M8 is such a tall phone for a 5" display cuz of the speakers and black bar. Just did some research and the m8 and the g3 are the exact same height. 5.76" but the g3 is wider but also thinner. Crazy 5" vs 5.5"
                                      im going to shed a tear if it isn't what evleaks showed us. I want something new, not an m8 with new camera.
