      Hmm. I guess the metal/aluminium design isn't really that important to most people.

        Chinese unboxings and benchmarks starting to coming out.

        Fresh out of the box 37796 in Antutu, a little higher than the M8.

            Would be a shame if it didn't come to the US and Europe. It would be a OnePlus killer!

                Are they really wrong or just thinking about get the same smartphone for almost half the price?

                I have HTC ONE M8 and it's beautiful, but If I knew HTC would launch such cheap high-end phone, I would have buy it. Not for plastic design, but metal case doesn't worth U$250

                  Most folks put cases on their phones for protection so metal case or plastic case really make not much difference. I do have to admit that I put a clear case on my M8 as it is a shame to hire that case. If the E8 were available I would have considered buying it instead and saving me some money.

                    AnonD-67000, 18 Jun 2014Where are all the premium aluminum fans? Where are all the ... moreHTC even though plastic, still retains the beautiful design elements that also made the M8 successful. Samsung suffered from a few things which caused its poor reception: Poor materials, which felt cheap (Lumia by comparison feels sturdier), ugly design (Design chief was sacked), and simply most people feeling that it was boring and lacking any innovation.

                          And this is why Samsung make plastic smart phones. Samsung are a Korean company and they try to tailor their phones for the western and eastern markets. You can see this in the 'bloop' sounds, they are included because they are popular in eastern markets

                                    Where are all the premium aluminum fans? Where are all the zombies that want premium feel like diamonds in the hand? This proves that the world loves cheap plastic, just nerds and crazy geeks in tech sites complain about plastic. Thanks HTC for prove their wrong.

                                      I believe to HTC all my life..
                                      I didn't complete satisfy of one x but one m7 was incredible..
                                      Now I'v one max with up sense 6 and only I must tell HTC going to top of android devices with light speed.
                                      E8 will be my next phone sure and HTC will back to pick of sales soon cuz people know everything isn't advertise..
                                      Htc's brand itself is the best advertise for unique products.

                                        I think sales are great because of the camera and the low price.....most people wouldnt spend heeps of money for a 4MP camera...its good but just cant compete with higher amount of megapixels..Ithink dispite the price,M8 would sell alot if it wasnt the 4MP camera....And E8 doesnt have the look of the Premium M8....I love M8 and mini 2 as well...peace :)
