Ever since switching from an iPhone 5s to the HTC One (M8) I felt right at home. Simply put - there has not been another phone that combines such great design ethic with such limitless software.

Rs. 43000 HTC M8 is the true successor of HTC One. Not only it is a design marvel but it has some unique features too. In the third week of April this year, HTC announced the launch of One M8 in India for Rs 49,900 and our first impression of the device was that , "HTC One (M8) is a beautifully...

It has a magnificent design; Performance is top notch

Camera is not good for long shots; Battery is sufficient for a day only

HTC has a real talent for carving up highly pretty phones out of nothing. That fact has stayed true till today with the introduction of the One M8. The successor to the One (M7), the M8 is an iterative update over its predecessor that refines the winning design further and adds a couple of unique...

The HTC One M8 is loaded with features and beautifully designed and built but the image quality of its camera cannot keep up with the otherwise great performance of the phone. Images show little detail and a variety of artifacts across the ISO range. Panorama and HDR modes produce underwhelming results and the DuoCam is in its current state of development not more than a gimmick. The One M8 can make a great device for gadget lovers without any imaging aspirations but mobile photographers are better served elsewhere.

Good color and exposure up to highest ISO settings; Very comprehensive imaging feature set including DuoCam; High degree of user control in camera app; Responsive and quick in operation; Useful manual mode, allows up to 4 sec shutter speed; Excellent build quality and premium materials; Nice 1080p screen with good viewing angles ; Decent 5MP front camera; Very good stereo speakers; Good sound quality in video mode; Comprehensive editing options in gallery app;

Less image detail than competitors; Grain and and loss off fine detail even at lowest ISOs; Tendency to slightly underexpose in bright conditions; No OIS means more danger of image blur in low light and shaky video; Strong moiré and purple fringing; Channel clipping in highlight areas leads to cyan skies; Slightly convoluted menu structure in camera app; No focus assist light means camera has trouble focusing in very low light; Unusable digital zoom; Inefficient HDR mode; Small panorama output, many stitching errors in Pan 360 images; DuoCam features not more than a gimmick in current state of development; DuoCam easily covered with index finger; Strong compression and artifacts in video footage; Strong rolling shutter in video recording;

Best phone I've had. I haven't had it that long yet so can't give a review on it's longevity, but so far I'm impressed. It's very fast, easy to use, lots of good apps already installed, great interface. Camera is brilliant and so is the sound quality!

Camera; built quality; price

HTC, the Taiwanese manufacturer, has been making smartphones for ages, but a definite breakthrough occurred when the company released the world's first ever commercial Android handset, the Dream G1.

Great design and build quality; Accurate display; Selfie camera takes good photos and videos; Best music output from a phone; both speakers and earphones; Sense 6 is clean and fast; Long lasting battery life

Still the same 4 MP camera; Post process effects are not 100% accurate; Body too slippery to hold; might get scuffed up in the long term; Power/lock switch unreachable; tall form factor doesn't help

"Great phone but I had to return it because 16gb is too little storage. What a shame because apart from the tiny storage that matches phones from 5 years ago this was a great phone.

This year's model of the HTC One isn't a big change from its predecessor, but there are a bunch of small tweaks and changes in both hardware and software that end up making it a much better phone overall.

There are hundreds of smartphones on the market right now, from major corporate flagships to independent afterthoughts. And while many of those phones are perfectly adequate devices, few can manage the build quality, the aesthetic beauty, the ease and the simple pleasure of use exuded by the new HTC...

Superb build quality; a gorgeous screen; excellent built-in speakers; a long-lasting battery; a processor that keeps on giving; and a feature set that will warm anyone's heart – these are just a few of the long list of things the HTC One does very well

Its rear-facing camera is almost as much of a disappointment as the camera on the original HTC One

The HTC One competes with the likes of the Samsung Galaxy S5 and the Sony Xperia Z2 in 40-50K premium smartphone segment. If you can afford it, you wouldn't be disappointed. Although, the Rs.
