HTC recently launched a revamped version of their ongoing
flagship, aka the One, One M8. The One is still regarded as the best of the
Android, until the M8 launched. And M8 surprises us with a host lot of more
features.
On the display section, M8 has a 5.0” Super LCD 3 Capacitive
touch screen at Full HD i.e 1080*1920,
which translates into a stunning 441 ppi density. It’s also backed up by
Corning Gorilla Glass 3 so the M8 can take a couple of drops without
shattering/scratching the screen.
The M8 comes with dual front firing speakers, built in
amplifiers with Boomsound, and boy, they ARE impressive. Loud enough to scare
the hell out of you, clear and clean as diamonds. Whoa. It’s not much of a
surprise comparing with the previous version of the flagship, but other brands
and flagships just can’t take on HTC in this segment.
The memory segment is backed up by 2gb of RAM and 16/32gb of
internal storage, with an additional 128gb of expandability. That makes the M8
capable of sweet 160gb of storage.
Now the take on performance. M8 houses Qualcomm Snapdragon 801
chipset, getting ahead of other brands . The CPU is clocked at 2.3 GHz, and is
backed up by the Krait 400 Graphics processor.
The USP however is the dual camera. Yes. You have 2 primary
camera sensors at the back, both of them HTC’s UltraPixel shooters with 4 mp
resolution and 1/3 sensor size. We’re still not clear of the HTC’s intension of
keeping 2 sensors, but that sure opens up a whole spectrum of new kind of
applications that need 3D image rendering and stuff. 
The other improvement is the outer shell of the device. Compared
to One’s 70% metal, the M8’s shell is 90% metal. The body wraps around from the
back of the device to the front, which makes it a true unibody build. The UI
also got whole bunch of tweaks and updated like the Blinkfeed, latest version
of HTC’s Sense etc. We’re not sure of the pricing yet as it’s still not in the
markets, but don’t be surprised if it crosses the 50k mark, and we can’t
complain as of now.
