We will see.

        as an engineering student: ceramic will be extra light, very scratch-resistant but will break easily if it falls. Not a good material overall

                            the main camera of htc one m8 must be changed with the 13 mp camera from one mini m8, only from marketing reasons, even this 13 camera takes worse pictures in the dark than the 4mp camera. the big mass of peasants will like more "13 mp".

                              another killer beats from htc.
                              game over for galaxy series if put this monster 20mp dual camera.

                                If only HTC had listened to the Camera part the first time around. Even a 8 mp with ultra pixel sensor would've been alright.
                                It's almost like the designers came up with this beautiful phone with the right amount of power but then the eccentric boss comes in and orders to put in a 4 mp sensor because he has a newly found special love of 4 mp sensors.
                                HTC One the 3rd hopefully would be perfect keeping my fingers crosses, loved my M7 but skipping m8 for a Z2 and then gonna buy the M9 next year if they make it perfect.

                                    Ya, I think HTC should concentrate on their camera system.

                                    The HTC One M7 that I bought had pink colour issue in low and 4MP in daylight. The whole low lightconcept itself got pointless.

                                    The HTC one M8 that I have now has overexpose issues in daylight and coulds have purplish edges.
                                    Low light is good but Z2 beats it hands down. Again UltraPixels is made pointless.

                                    A convential 13MP with 4K recording is good enough.

                                    Rest below are awesome in HTC :
                                    1. Sense six (sixth sense). Smoother than butter.
                                    2. Awesome screen
                                    3. Great multitasking and better ram management (I mean my note3 starts stuttering when Free Ram is around 250MB. Samsung are youbkidding me. Basic concept of memory management is screwed up in N3)
                                    4. Awesome premium feel. Premium materials.
                                    5. Don't have 2 versions of chipset and fragments flasgship like Samsung does. Great developer support for all countries.
                                    6. Small things Luke KBoard are got right. Samsung KB sucks..

                                    HTC has to just get rid of UltraPixels. That's all.

                                      "Excellent" news for current M8 owners - the phone you bought is already old and obsolete. New one is coming, bigger, better, faster ;-)
