We will get a better idea about this cellphone's wonders when we get into specific details.

This phone is extremely thin and stilized, being just 0.37" thick.

The HTC One (M8) includes a incredible 1920 x 1080 (Full HD) 5 inches display, which makes it impossible to even see the pixels composing the display. Its display uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, and allows multi-touch for gestures like pinch and zoom.

HTC sells this cellphone with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 chip, holding a very powerful 2.5 GHz Quad-Core processing unit and a huge 2 GB of RAM. To handle graphic intensive games and apps, this phone also uses a 450 MHz Adreno 330 GPU. This phone comes with a huge 32 GB internal storage and a slot for external memory cards, enough to store hundreds of apps without having to worry about how much storage is left.

This cellphone has wifi connectivity (but it can't provide it to other devices as a mobile mobile hotspot), 4G (LTE) great performance connectivity and also HSPA+ connection type, that is a lower speed 4G technology and the fastest 3G connection type, over HSDPA and EDGE technologies.
