HTC One (M8) review: One and only

25 March 2014
To say there are great expectations of the freshly announced HTC One (M8) would be a massive understatement. This is, after all, one the of flagships to shape the entire season. But a predecessor that failed to turn warm reception into good sales...

"The device's BrowserMark 2 score is the best we've seen on an Android device" - I think the Shield tops that if we're talking about any android device

    i think the camera quality quite good, considering it's just 4mp. the pixel size really help with light amount and give nice pic for 4mp snapper

            God.. After so many positive reviews of M8, I am leaning towards it and I think I will ditch my M7 for this.
            Waiting for this to launch in India. HTC sense 6 is amazing, higher clocking speed, camera is good(if not the best), stunning design, duo camera, better speakers.. wow..

              about to get my hands on the m8 , have been a galaxy user for the last few years , the s3 is still hard to beat , was tempted to wait for the s5 , but will see what the m8 has in store , reviews seem mixed so far

If the UI isnt GREAT on a cell phone, there is no reason to buy it unless you root and flash. I see the only bad thing about the HTC ONE is the camera and video resolution, and they arent even that bad. I much prefer the ONE due to the software in general.

                        but I think this is useful for everyone who wants to keep it simple.

                        Lesser pixels means lesser picture's size, so it's good for everyone who wants a nice, lightwight picture.

                              Is it just me or does it seem real innovation appears lacking from all new 2014 flagships so far?? Perhaps we've reached a plateaux in the mobile technology world (might be a good thing! )

                                    You cant zoom in very far with the M8 or else it will go blurry.

                                    You cant crop pictures too much with the M8 because once again, the picture is blurry.

                                    If you print a photo, it will be very small, and if you made the photo bigger it will be... you guessed it... blurry.

                                    Maybe you should do some research on why higher megapixel is also important.

                                      'The HTC One (M8) audio quality is by far the best we've seen a mobile device produce so far' Are u sure GSMA! don't u know that Nokia N91 still a king in the sound quality department. Yes even in 2014 or may be even further. Astonishing tonel clearity. I don't think any out there which Will compete with Nokia N91 acoustically sure
