HTC One (E8) review: Traveling light

01 August 2014
What if you stripped the HTC One (M8) of the metal armor it's so proud of. Imagine replacing it for plastic. Sounds like the worst thing that could happen to the top model of a struggling company. The HTC One (E8) will heartily disagree...

                Interesting how metal is seen as a premium material for electronic devices. Aluminum is one of the cheapest metals around, the cheapest to manipulate (aluminum foil), yet is still held in high regard for a cellphone. I have actually seen an iPhone bent from someone sitting on it. Cellphones have reached a point of function where overall style is the determining factor of success? When a platinum phone is released by a mainstream company, wake me up...Lol

                    Frankly speaking, I do not agree with the judgment on the camera. The output is very similar to the One Mini 2, only the color rendition is different, but where you say that the colors are muted, I would say that they are more natural, and this is appropriate for a flagship device.
                    If you prefer more "punchy" colors it's very easy to boost saturation in PP (while the contrary isn't, i.e. once you have processed an image you can't come back to the unprocessed version).
                    That said, I really don't understand why smartphone manufacturers don't simply add a couple of color profiles, like "vivid" and "natural" (as you can find in any digital camera), so that everyone is happy.

                                        Dual speakers with boom sound.But average in loudness.That's disappointing even if it of high quality.
