Beautiful Hardware
Great camera and speakers

Have I mentioned that this phone looks really great? I've fallen in love with the Windows Phone customizable home screen and Live Tiles set up

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
Non-removable battery
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

Just like its predecessor, the HTC One M8 is an excellent piece of hardware and has superb performance. Some camera issues mar what is otherwise a top-of-the-line Android smartphone....

The One (M8) continues HTC's reign as the maker of the best-designed Android smartphones. It oozes with style and sophistication, but makes some compromises compared with the Galaxy S5. Still, it shares the Editors' Choice badge with the Galaxy S5 for be...

So is the One M8 a worthy successor to the M7? Some say it's not as bold or as breathtaking as the original. That's likely not due to the M8 itself, but the awe we were in due to the dramatic change brought forth by the M7, compared to earlier HTC mode...

Camera resolution can be prohibitive
HTC didn't need to reinvent the smartphone with the all new HTC One. The handset that preceded it established the company as the maker of high-end, premium Android devices, so all that was needed was to build on this solid base. And that's exactly what HT...
Well, we've been patient for these two particular smartphones, and now that they are both here, the only thing left to do is to make the difficult decision of which one to choose. Quite frankly, both the Samsung Galaxy S5, and the HTC One (M8) are supe...
Traditionally, the older a smartphone gets, the cheaper its price becomes. Therefore, it should be expected for a 6-month product to be lower in price point than let’s say, a new smartphone that was just recently released. Bearing that in mind, we’d be...
"LOVE THE DESIGN AND USE PHOTOS ON THE WEB? THIS IS THE ONE"All in all, I found the HTC One to be an excellent phone all-around. By improving all aspects of the previous handset, HTC has gotten to a point where it got just about everything right (design...
HTC has carefully crafted a fine smartphone for 2014. By all means, the One (M8) is a flagship that will be in the same category as the Galaxy S5 and every other top tier device introduced throughout the rest of the year. The premium feel and build lik...
Abstract: The HTC One M8 has been a subject of numerous news leaks leading to the official announcement. It's definitely a good thing for HTC that the industry is so keen on the new HTC One even before its official launch. But that is hardly a surprise since the HT...

The previous HTC One was a great phone, but it didn't hit a home run for HTC when it came to marketshare. On the other hand, HTC has nearly knocked it out of the park this time with the HTC One M8. So it remains to be seen if just having a great phon...
