Sprint     See other variants reviews Score: 71.6 / 100

HTC One (M8) is a completely fascinating Android phone launched back in the year 2014, equipped with a high speed Quad-Core CPU running at 2300 megahertz, a comfortable 5 inches touch-screen, and two cameras, a 4 megapixels back-facing camera and a 5 MP front facing camera. Let's take a closer look at what this device can do.

HTC equipped this cellphone with a very powerful Quad-Core processor running at 2.3 GHz, packed into a Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 system chip with a huge 2 GB of RAM. Helping with graphic intensive apps, the HTC One (M8) also has a 450 megahertz Adreno 330 GPU. An amazing aspect of the HTC One (M8) is the 32 GB astonishing internal memory and a slot for an SD memory card, allowing the user to install lots of applications, games, pictures and videos without thinking about running out of space at all.

About its construction materials, the HTC One (M8) is mostly made of Aluminium, which gives a premium finish. Though this cellphone is only 5.76 inches long and 2.78" wide, it is still able to fit a a 5 inches display. The HTC One (M8) is just 0.37 inches thick, taking it to the thinnest cellphone's category. HTC didn't seem to put much effort to reduce weight in this 5.64 oz phone. The HTC One (M8) is available in a wide range of color options: gray, pink, blue, red and gold.

HTC equipped the HTC One (M8) with a incredible 5 inches screen, and a 1920 x 1080 (Full HD) resolution, making everything look beautiful and brightful. Its screen uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, and is multi-touch enabled.

This phone offers wifi capability (but it can't be shared with other devices around, as a mobile hotspot), LTE (4G) high speed connectivity and also HSPA+ data connection, that is a bit slower 4G variation and 3G fast connection type, over HSDPA, HSPA and EDGE technologies. This phone supports dual sim cards so it's able to work with 2 different phone lines or carriers at the same time and it can use both CDMA and GSM networks.

The HTC One (M8) has two cameras, a 4 megapixels back facing camera and a 5 megapixels front side camera. Its back facing camera has an aperture of 2 so it can capture beautiful photos even in poor lighting situations. It also films Full HD 1920x1080 videos at 60 frames per second. This cellphone also includes many great characteristics like auto-focus, flash, digital image stabilization, fast burst mode, smile detection shooting, face detection shooting, HDR mode and geo tagging.

This device has a 2600 mAh amazing Li-Polymer non-removable battery, enough to provide this phone with an incredibly long battery life. An issue to consider is that this cellphone's battery is non-replaceable so you can't buy a new battery when it begins to lose capacity, whereas with its 2600 mAh you will probably replace this cellphone before that becomes an issue.

The HTC One (M8) also features a wide variety of cool characteristics as Near Field Communication (NFC), Infrared Blaster, Bluetooth (4.0) and GPS Navigation, and lots of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope, Barometer and Compass.

HTC offers the HTC One (M8) for $ 290, which is a rather high price for this kind of device. No matter if you are looking for a work phone, want it to take tons of pictures, will use it as a gaming cellphone or want a social device, this cellphone is definitely the correct option .
