The all-new HTC ONE M8 has been available for nearly two months now, but that doesn’t mean additional details or options haven’t appeared. The phone is available from all major US carriers, but a few new variants have surfaced, more colors leaked, and an improved model could even be on the horizon.
HTC launched the new One M8 at the end of March, and eventually all major US carriers started offering the smartphone. Since then, we’ve seen leak after leak suggesting as many as three additional colors are coming, there’s a gold platted model that sells for over $2,000 or so, and now we’re hearing a “Remix” and “Prime” version of the HTC One M8 are in the works.
The HTC ONE M8 is one of the top smartphones available right now, ranking highest on our list of best Android phones. But following the launch of Google Play edition and Windows Phones versions of the device, HTC's current flagship finds itself in a unique position: There are three versions of the device available, each with a radically different software experience.
Check past the break for a quick photo tour of the three different flavors of HTC One M8 — HTC Sense, Google Play edition with stock Android, and the M8 for Windows, running Windows Phone 8.1.
First up, the hardware. The Sense-powered M8 is available in a variety of colors, having launched initially in gold, silver and gunmetal. The GPe is available in silver only, while Verizon currently sells the Windows M8 in just the gunmetal color option.
Here are the highlights that stand out the most:
- A more refined design: it's 90% metal now, with the metal wrapping up the side (the HTC One was 70% metal). The gunmetal grey is simply gorgeous and has this great texture to it. The entire phone is more solidly constructed.
- Bigger Battery: with a 2600 mAH battery, it lasts longer.
- Bigger Storage: Yes, it's true, there is a microSD slot in there, and it supports up to 128 GB of storage. How's that for mind-blowing?
- Bigger Screen: 5 inches is a nice size; not so huge like the One Max, but noticeably bigger than the 4.7 inch screen on the HTC One.
- Better BoomSound: The audio quality from the dual-front facing speakers on the HTC One was great...but you wouldn't believe how much better the new HTC One (M8) sounds! Richer, fuller audio with a wider sound. It's 25% louder, yes, but the audio quality is dramatically better.
- A Better Camera Experience: It's a 4 megapixel UltraPixel sensor, but we switched to a new provider for the sensor, completely addressed the pink tint issue, added a second sensor to get depth/spatial information (which allows for some great camera effects). Image quality is simply better.
HTC ONE M8 got a 1st rank in the mobile world
