The editors didn't like
A bit on the thick side
Pretty much the same phone as the months-old Android version
Ultimately
I will leave the M8 for Windows behind. For all the great additions HTC brought over to Windows Phone
The camera is just mediocre—much like it was for Android—and the camera app has even less functionality here. Compared to Lumia
The HTC One
Relatively bulky
Few new features
‘UltraPixel’ camera is still an underperformer
Not waterproof like many other flagships
It's a bit heavier than we would like it to be
Camera is super fast with lots of neat features but it has photo quality flaws
Disappointed with the keyboard
Slippery grip
Exposure issues with camera
Extreme power saving mode not yet available on US versions of this phone
Narrow screen bezel can cause screen freezes when gripped
Slippery due to too many curves
The phone is too tall and it makes the power button difficult to reach
Accident taps due to thin bezels on 2 sides
Camera has low megapixel count and no OIS
Mediocre battery life
While other Android smartphones like Sa
Some features unavailable at launch
Somewhat heavy
Rear main camera same as last year's model
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'
Main camera fails to impress overall
Rear camera is just okay
Too large for some
Fair amount of bloatware
No biometric sensors
Not water or dustproof like the S 5
Could use more internal storage
A bit heavy
Camera produces inconsistent image and video results
Minor lag in some native Sense 6 apps
Some new features seem incomplete (Themes
Motion Launch customization
Etc…)
Main camera fails to impress overall. No Extra Power Saving Mode
Main camera fails to impress overall. Tons of bloatware
Duo Camera tech could do more

Rather tall device (9 mm taller than M7)
Same ultrapixel resolution camera that lacks detail
2GB of RAM (expect 3GB in today's highend devices)
Limited Google Now voice activation support (Google Now has to be active on the display)
No optical image s
Slippery
A tad weak on features compared to rivals
Inconsistent camera
Weak
Big
A little chunky
Camera Resolution May Be Too Low for Some
Relatively heavy
Camera features need work
Battery life outside powersaving modes could be better
HTC has a rich heritage as a smartphone maker
And last year's HTC One was the company's bestselling and mostawarded handset ever. All of which makes a st
Low-res camera has same handicaps as last year's
Gesture-unlock features slightly undercooked
Large footprint for a 5-inch device
The camera performance is comparatively sub-par
May be too large or hefty for some
Battery life is hit or miss
Rendering of highdynamic scenes is lacking accuracy
White balance is inaccurate in some situations
Significant sharpness instability in low light conditions
Loss of detail and strong noise in low light
Clearly visible fringing and color shading in out
The phone has a slippery feel that makes it difficult to grip
No enhancements to the display or HTC's UltraPixel technology
