When it comes to smartphones, every single company would do well to have a flagship that they can call their own. After all, it makes perfect sense, as you would also need to compete on the top end of the market in order to win the perception war among the masses. HTC might have started off with a bang all those years ago, but they have fallen onto difficult times recently, where even the HTC One, despite its strengths, has not managed to alter the perception of the masses to avoid HTC smartphones. Perhaps with the release of the HTC One M8, things might change for the better?

The HTC One M8 is said to come with a high quality metal unibody alongside a Smart Sensor Hub which is capable of anticipating your needs, and it will make use of Motion Launch controls in order to make everyday tasks easier. Apart from that, there is also the brand new Duo Camera technology that delivers creative, professional-looking photos and amazing effects, while HTC BoomSound would yet again set new standards for audio quality on a smartphone.

With its beautiful, durable, high quality metal unibody encasing a 5-inch Full HD (1080p) display, you can be sure that your eyes will be spoilt be what it offers. Underneath the hood, you will find a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor with 2.3 GHz quad-core Krait CPU, not to mention fully integrated 4G LTE connectivity and Android 4.4 KitKat as the mobile operating system of choice. It will also feature the all-new HTC Sense 6, which is available on the device and as an upgrade from the Google Play store.

The Duo Camera will boast of HTC’s innovative HTC UltraPixel module, in addition to a dual flash and full 1080p HD video recording, allowing it to produce incredible images regardless of most lighting conditions, while there is also a 5-MP wide-angle front facing camera that captures superior selfies without much hassle. Looks like, in HTC’s own words, “the best just got better.” Do you agree with that?

John Biggs said it best yesterday: “Come For The Styling, Stay For The Warranty”. Perhaps one of the best reasons to buy the new HTC One is the screen warranty, which iFixit just confirmed by awarding the new smartphone with a 2 out of 10 on its repairability scale. Read More
