HTCs current flagship is the HTC One M8. The M8 carries forward HTC's mantra of good built quality and great speakers.
The new HTC One M8 comes in a new, more rounded off metal chassis. The cold metal feel is what people love about the phone. HTC sells the phone in 3 colors: 1. Amber Gold, 2. Gunmetal Grey 3. Glacial Silver. The front facing speakers, though not branded 'beats audio' anymore, still give a great stereo sound experience when watching video or playing games.
The HTC One M8 comes with HTC's new blink feed which keeps you updated with its news feed.
HTC's skin over android is intrusive but not as bloated as touchwiz from Samsung.The phone runs kitkat and is slated to get updates.
The M8 has almost the same camera as last year with improved optics but it loses optical image stabilization. There is a second lens that allows another angle to your photographs and lets you change the focus after the photo has been taken. The HTC photo gallery lets you see view an interactive version of the image. the accelerometer and gyroscope work together to give a parallax effect. Most think it is just a gimmick with inconsistent performance and varied results. The ultrapixel branding of the camera sensor has not managed to wow people except for in low light. The front facing camera has a 5MP sensor that actually has a higher mega pixel count than the back camera.
The phone has a 5" 1080p display that is crisp and bright. Text is sharp and looks good.
The HTC One M8 is a great phone but it is mostly overshadowed by the two big boys of the tech world and has a niche fanfollowing.
The one is supposed to get an update with a new 13 MP camera for Indian and Chinese markets where camera quality is judged merely on megapixel count.
