tech radar given it 5 stars already

Guess they sold out. Oh well, never liked their reviews anyway.

i always found them to be very good and spot on, but seems early so maybe they did take a back hander

 

[Shocky-FM]

Wait and see what Anandtech post, they're hardcore HTC fanboys.

The z2 is my first choice (always has been)
Tbh after this if the Samsung wasn't so ugly the s5 would be my second choice

As it is the s5 and m8 are tied for second.

In other words the m8 has gone down.

 

[kona786]

I'd choose the Z2 aswell.


Does this do 1080p60 on the videocam?

Can these phones really do a good job at 1080 yet?
I would have thought 720 and upscale might be a better target?

But I'm no expert


Sony could do quite well out of this round

Incredibly disappointed with this and the prices are insane for it aswell, does anyone know when the Z2 is out?

 

[matt100]

well there's a job decision vindicated I think!

 

[Orcvader]

I agree with the Z2 being the better device as well. Big shame HTC decided to add more "fun" effects with the rear cameras instead of improving it. At least the battery life seems like a good improvement.

what are people disliking about it?

I'm back on a Nexus 5. Can't be bothered to wait for the rest of the flagships!

yes out of the new flagships i would only want a google edition, hope we get that choice soon , the yanks have it all to themselves for almost a year now

GPe up on the Play store (for the US only like the others): http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/0...-coming-soon-in-the-play-store-will-cost-699/

 

[kitch9]

Anyone know where I can get a bigger face to accommodate this phone?

 

[413x]

what are people disliking about it?

Imo it offers nothing more than what's already out except a new name and a huuuge price tag
I think none of the potential exciting features that were speculated materialised either

Is there anything it has over the competition and what's out already?

 

[Silly Goose On The Loose]

4MP camera - in 2014.

 

[Ixon]

Lol with all these much larger smartphones for 2014 the Note 3 doesn't seem as big anymore.

hahah

MP means sod all

 

[Ryan-3]

The front looks worse, the on screen buttons make it worse, the same 4MP rear camera is a let down...

Little wonder why HTC have problems. They just needed to take the M7, add an SD card, sort the bottom bezel of the phone out by either putting the three buttons on there or remove it and have them on screen and do the performance bump - slightly larger battery if possible, 8MP (or more if possible?) camera. Voila, what the M8 should be.
