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...

So based on your test, this phone have better battery endurance with 71 than lg g2 with 62? Lol, even lg g2 have better 3g talk, Web browsing, and video playback. You can check your lg g2 and htc one m8 battery test and compare that two phone. You will find a strange

      Only downside so far is - be careful when connecting to the charger! Been living with mine and got two, albeit relatively minor scratches, on the edges. Only good thing is that I am the only one who will notice! I hate scratches on my phones! Extra careful from now on!!

            Huh? how can the HTC ONE camera be a negative?

            I've got a HTC ONE M7, Galaxy S4 & Galaxy S4 Mini and a Google Galaxy Nexus.

            HTC One camera photos are WAYYY beter than the current flagship Samsung Galaxy S4's, same with the video.

            S4 photos look cool on the screen but once you view them on the computer or print them out, they are crap. HTC wins by far.

                But as know nothing is perfect in this world. so this time its only the camera which will not let this phone to be perfect.
                and the bussiness strategy as well..... if they make this phone perfect no one will buy the next model.
                so if they put the better camera in the next one, they will definatly decrease something else in that one.
                may be card slot?
                may be internal phone memory?
                may be the LCD?
                may be the RAM?
                may be the processor.....!!!

                    HTC could have ruled the premium smartphone market with the HTC One last year (I have one myself).One of the main factors why it didn't was the camera. Was really hoping they could have put a better camera this time. The front 5MP one for selfies will appeal to many. But the same rear one will again severely limit its market potential. A good 15MP (at least) and it could have kill the market.

                          Is the M8 curved back a problem when you use it on a flat surface rather than holding it in your hand?

                                So the sound through loudspeakers and through headphones (decent pair of course), are even louder than the htc m7?

                                If this is the case then ill be upgrading from the htc m7 to the htc m8.

                                This is my main feature I look for as want good quailty and loud volume through my logitech ultimate ears triple fi 10 earphones.

                                  sony z1 has a 3000 lion battery not li-po and battery scores was really shit..
                                  And about z2 with bigger screen!! Oo it will be a joke..
                                  And m8 earn 72hr scores with excellent battary management.
                                  Sony performance and optimization is far behind htc phones even sami and lg.

                                      pictures are so dull and dark rather then other flagships. Even wildfire, amaze4G have brighter results. Currently using ONE-X but seriously thinking to move for SONY or SAMSUNG.

                                      Dear HTC sir,
                                      Please use some bright sensor and atleast 8MP camers.

                                        although its a great phone to use ..... but the camera and its picture quality is shamefull.
                                        absolutly a waste of features and other hardware used in this phone.
