HTC One (M8) smartphone with 5.00-inch 1080x1920 display powered by 2.5G processor alongside 2GB RAM and 4-Ultrapixel rear camera
Design and Build The HTC One M8 feels like a stretched and flattened down One M7. It measures about the same as the One in depth but gains a few pounds due to the larger display. The 5-inch Full HD panel makes the phone feels longer, which in turn makes single-handed use a bit cumbersome. HTC has thankfully added memory expansion and you can add up to a 128GB microSD card to it. The One M8 also requires a nano-SIM instead of the standard micro-SIM.
Features The One M8 packs in the same SLCD 3 panel from last year’s model, which continues to be one of the best we’ve seen. Colours are bright and punchy with inky black levels and great viewing angles. The sunlight legibility is also very good and Gorilla Glass 3 makes it highly scratch resistant. The One M8 also debuts with Sense 6 which is a more polished version of their earlier skin. The pastel shades within the theme give it a very slick and fluid look. The new flattened toggle switches in the notification bar are in keeping with the new look. There are new features added like Extreme Power mode, which shuts down any unwanted processes and presents you with a basic interface. However, you’re just left with basic apps like calling, message, mail, calendar and calculator. ‘Do Not Disturb’ will block incoming calls and basically turn of notifications for a designated time. You can of course add exceptions to important contact that’ll still be able to reach you. This is very similar to Motorola’s Assist app. The M8 also gets new ‘Motion Launch gestures’. With it enabled, you can double tap or slide your finger up to wake the screen up. Swiping right activates BlinkFeed while the left activates the widgets screen. An upward swipe simply unlocks the phone. Swiping downwards activates voice dialling. The HTC One M8 rocks the same Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 chipset seen on the Xperia Z2. However, the M8 is clocked a bit higher at 2.4GHz. Needless to say, the One blitzes through benchmarks like a stabbed rat. You also get 2GB of RAM for apps and the OS. Thankfully, Sense v6 isn’t as heavy as TouchWiz so at any point, you have about 900MB at your disposal. The one downside of having a full metal body is that it gets too hot to handle at times. The entire chassis heats up quickly when gaming or shooting images.
Connectivity This makes it the first Android flagship launched this year to support LTE. You also get quad-band 3G and 2G support, Wi-Fi ‘ac’, Bluetooth v4.0, NFC, GLONASS and USB Host.
Camera The 4MP Ultrapixel camera makes a comeback with an even slicker interface. The camera modes are broken down into six segments. You have your stills, video, Zoe, Selfie, Dual capture and Pan 360. The newest addition however, is the secondary camera above the main one which gathers depth information with every photo you click. This is only applicable in normal mode and not in Zoe mode. Once captured, you can shift the focus around, add 3D effects or even shift perspective of the people in the frame. The latter doesn’t really work too well most of the time. The M8 might have 4K recording but it does get 1080 at 60fps. This seems to work pretty well in low-light and in good light but the frame rate would slip slightly when you move around.
Battery Life The beefed up 2600mAh battery easily lasts you an entire day. After running through our 8-hour loop test, it had about 25 percent to spare. With the Power Saver mode constantly on, you should easily be able to extend this further.
The Good / The HTC One M8's sumptuous aluminum body makes a beautiful background for this top-flight smartphone's brilliant 5-inch display. It runs on a powerful quad-core processor and Android KitKat, the stereo speakers deliver excellent sound, and the depth-sensing camera brings a ton of useful features.
The Bad / The One M8’s battery is not user-removable, making it harder to replace once the battery inevitably wears out. The phone's sealed chassis is not water-resistant, and the One M8's photos look less sharp than competitors'.
The Bottom Line / Elegant style, raw power, and sophisticated features make the HTC One M8 an excellent smartphone choice for anyone but the most exacting photographer.
