The HTC One M8 is now over three years old, but it's still a
very nice smartphone. Is it worth it to buy 2016 anyway? Well, you can pick one
up for only £ 60 "used". The HTC One M8 is a smartphone that has much
to offer. Its predecessor, the HTC One, was our favorite smartphone until the
Nexus 5 rolled up. There is already strong competition in this generation in
this generation: the Samsung Galaxy S5 and the Sony XPERIA Z2.
HTC One M8 - Design:
Not surprisingly, the new HTC One M8, like its competitors, is
not a radical overhaul. Instead, it takes the design of the one and refines it.
Instead of matte silver, the new phone has a polished, dark gunmetal finish
with an attractive brushed effect. It still has the smooth rounded rump, but
the sharp, chiseled edges have now been rounded as well. From a practical point
of view, we are disappointed to see that the Home, Multitasking and Back
buttons have been moved from below the screen to the display itself and are on
the usable screen. The HTC One M8 also lacks dust and water resistance, such as
the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S5 and the recently released Sony XPERIA Z1
Compact.
However, it is good to see that HTC has added a micro-SD slot
to the new model. With the original HTC One - now renamed One M7 - you kept track
of the space you chose to buy. We also like the ingenious new dot-view case
from HTC (£ 35 with VAT). This allows light from the display to shine through a
grid of pinholes in the front cover, allowing the phone to display time,
weather, and flap-through notifications in retro dot matrix style. It is even
possible to answer calls through the case without having to open it.
HTC One M8 - Camera:
Apart from the design, the duo camera is the most important
update. Turn the M8 over and you'll see two lenses - one that captures the main
image and a smaller object that captures spatial information. This allows the
M8 to add dramatic depth of field effects to your photos after shooting. The
UFocus tool blurs foreground or background details, while the foreground effect
isolates the main subject by desaturating the background and adding a sketch
filter. Dimension Plus adds an interactive parallax effect to images: tilt the
phone, and the background changes relative to the foreground subject, much like
Apple's parallax wallpaper.
For general snapshots, however, the camera is more than
satisfactory. It uses a 1/3-inch, 4.1 megapixel sensor with the same 2μm
"UltraPixels" as before and a 1: 2 aperture. Unlike the original,
there is no optical image stabilization, but photos are sharper and cleaner: In
low light, there is more detail and better control of the noise and in good
light a better assessment of the exposure. The two color two color LED flash
means that taking pictures in a darkened pub lounge will not produce ghostly
skin tones.
HTC One M8 - HTC Sense:
In addition to Android 4.4 KitKat, the HTC One M8 also comes
with the latest version of HTC's proprietary Sense 6 interface, which of course
includes a number of customizations. First and foremost is a feature called HTC
Motion Launch that lets you wake up the phone with different gestures? Tapping
twice will take you to the lock screen, while swiping from the bottom will take
you directly to the desired home screen. A right-side swipe opens the
traditional Android desktop, which includes shortcuts and widgets, as well as
top and left dialing options for the voice dialing mode and the HTC BlinkFeed
user interface.
