HTC One (M8) Review

AT&T     See other variants reviews Score: 71.6 / 100

HTC One (M8) is an amazing Android phone launched some years ago, in 2014, which counts with a comfortable 5 inches multi touch screen, an extremely powerful 2300 MHz Quad-Core processor, and two cameras, a 4 megapixels back facing camera and a 5 megapixels front side camera.

This cellphone is equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 chip, packing an exceptional 2.3 GHz Quad-Core CPU with a great 2 GB RAM memory. Graphic calculations usually uses a lot of CPU time, so it counts with an extra 450 MHz Adreno 330 graphics processing unit to help handle those graphic tasks. A key aspect of this phone is its astonishing 32 GB internal storage memory and an SD extension slot, allowing you to install hundreds of applications without thinking about how much storage is left.

This device is available in lots of color options, gray, pink, blue, red and gold. The HTC One (M8) is a bit heavy comparing to other devices , with a weight of 5.64 ounces. About its construction materials, this phone is majorly created with Aluminium, which gives it a high quality look. This phone is a compact cellphone, given that it has a 5 inches screen and it has just 5.76" long. This phone has a wonderful design, with a thickness of just 0.37".

This cellphone has two cameras, a 4 mega-pixels back-facing camera and a 5 mega-pixels front side camera. Its back-facing camera lens has a f/2 aperture so it can take beautiful photographs even in poor lighting situations. It is capable of filming 1920x1080 Full HD videos at 60 frames per second. To complete the camera, it also includes multiple valuable features like auto-focus, flash, fast burst mode, face detection shooting, digital image stabilization, smile detection shooting, geo tagging and HDR mode.

HTC equipped this phone with a gorgeous 5-inches display, and a 1920 x 1080 (Full HD) resolution, which makes it impossible to even see the pixels forming the display. Its display uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, and is multi-touch enabled.

This cellphone counts with a high capacity 2600 mAh Li-Polymer non-removable battery that can keep this phone running for many hours without having to charge it. An issue to consider is that this device's battery is not replaceable so you won't be able to replace it when it begins to get older, whereas with its 2600 mAh you will probably buy a new cellphone before that becomes an issue.

This phone provides wifi connection (but it can't provide it to other devices around, as a mobile hotspot), LTE (4G) high performance internet connection and also HSPA+ internet connection, a lower speed 4G network and 3G fast connection type, supported by HSDPA, HSPA and EDGE technologies. This cellphone supports dual sim cards so it can to use two different phone numbers or carriers at the same time and it works with both CDMA and GSM networks.

This phone also includes plenty of great characteristics such as NFC, Infrared Port, Bluetooth (4.0) and GPS (Global Positioning System), and multiple sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope, Barometer and Compass.

This cellphone may not be so convinient considering it costs $ 280, and many similar cellphones are being sold cheaper than that. It doesn't matter whether you need a phone for work, want it mostly for social networks, love photography or are looking for a phone to play games, you will definitely be very satisfied with this cellphone.
