What makes the HTC One M8 a spectacular phone

Though HTC has not revealed the M8’s price, I don’t think that could stop someone from buying this crackerjack of a phone, says Harsh Vardhan.

The night before HTC One M8 was to be launched, I was busy admiring my friend’s HTC One, which I thought was spectacular.

…

An impressive full-metal body, high processing speed, sound clarity — it had it all. What more could HTC offer, I wondered.

…

Like its predecessor, the One M8 sports a metallic design and the best specifications.

…

Though it’s a little heavier than the HTC One, its curved edges make it easier to hold.

…

The M8 comes with a five-inch full high-definition display. However, M8’s resolution takes a hit with fewer pixels an inch against the 4.7-inch One.

…

Powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor and 2.5-GHz quad-core processing unit, the M8 comes with a 2-GB RAM, with 16 GB and 32 GB storage options that can be extended by another 128 GB with a microSD card.

…

The phone takes a nano-SIM.  The highlight of the M8 is the dual rear-camera setup with depth perception.

…

While the main camera is the same 4-ultrapixel resolution as in the One, HTC claims M8’s is a notch above and will work in all lighting conditions.

…

The second rear camera captures depth and can refocus images and detect background objects.

…

The M8 also has dual LED flash.  The M8 runs on the latest Android 4.4.2 KitKat and the new Sense 6 customised user interface. 

…

The M8 has a 2,600-mAh battery and its extreme power saving mode turns the phone into a touch screen feature phone in which users can only access calls, messaging, calendar data and the calculator.

…

Though HTC has not revealed the M8’s price, I don’t think that could stop someone from buying this crackerjack of a phone.  

…

The device, unveiled on Wednesday would be available in India by the third week of April.
