*** The Official HTC One M8 Thread ***

That black strip with the HTC logo still really irritates me. At least on the M7 it had the home and back soft touch buttons.

That aside its looking like an ok phone, nothing worth a move from the M7 at the moment.

I users really loved being reassured their phone was a HTC device, so we thought, how could we make this better. So we remove the buttons and left a row just for the logo. Now our users can see our beautiful logo without any buttons in the way. Simple. Amazing. We think this is a real breakthrough.
 
Another 14 minute video review has been posted.

Its in German but he claims a few things if the translations are correct.
Snapdragon 801 processor
2GB Ram
5MP front camera
4.1MP UltraPixel and 2MP rear camera


The megapixels for the back camera has me a little worried. Hope it's just a mistranslation.
 
^^^ Nice but it doesn't really float my boat. Don't like the Sense overlay and it's white menu's and the tallness of the device is just a bit much.

Happy to see the return of the sd slot though and the screen should be great.
 
2MP? So, the second camera is for gimmick 3D post processing only... Great. :( Hopefully they've got it wrong and both are identical 4MP ultrapixel units (excluding ois)
 
So the back camera is likely the same as on the original HTC One? Not that it's bad but it's not particularly good either.
 
Apart from the heat shielding, the 4MP camera really needs a bump in megapixels, the quality when zooming in or cropping really kills the pictures. Maybe the 2MP camera can help somehow...

the new new newwwwww htc one will have a 0.5 mpx camera lol.. erm htc fail much.
 
As I said with the HTC One, I'm sure the better low-light performance will be more commonly appreciated than the megapixels would... it was just a shame that the low-light performance wasn't actually all that much better.

I thought it was a brave move of HTC to go that way and welcomed a company laughing in the face of the mega-pixel race, which at a point does become next-to-useless for the vast majority.

Hopefully HTC actually pulls off the camera performance this time.
 
I think (guessing) the review sites have all had their review units for a while now, so hopefully we might see reviews from Engadget/The Verge/GSMArena/etc right after the event.

I'd like to see a comparison on cropping on this vs something like the Z2. I presume all phone pics look poor when cropped.
