There are those who prefer to wait wisely before making a decision -. illuminated in the light of our upcoming tests – and more impatient that burn obtain a latest generation smartphone. Snapdragon processor 801 (the most powerful moment), big screen at bluffing display quality, exceptional autonomy, photos advanced features, sensors of all kinds … It lacks little or nothing about the HTC One M8 and we therefore present 10 reasons to parade faster with.
1. A sophisticated all-metal design
new HTC One largely reflects the elegant design of its predecessor with a unibody brushed aluminum look great. The Taiwanese manufacturer is also one of the few to use for its hulls this noble material as proportion: the M8, the shell is metal 90%
With a screen pass! 4.7 to 5 inches, the smartphone gains in length and is a little heavier (twenty grams), but its width and thickness are moderate – just nearly identical to the One things – which ensures comfortable grip. The screen adopts outline softened lines and the machine maintains a very nice curved back to the eye but also to touch. The device is available in three colors: dark gray, silver and even gold, previewed in April at Bouygues Telecom.
2. The screen excels in brightness and contrast
big screen M8 adopts the Super LCD technology 3 to win, according to the manufacturer quality. An argument could be only “only” marketing but in practice, our first measurements reveal brightness and contrast much higher than those of the first HTC One. The display quality of the M8 is to go with deep blacks and well among a screen brighter. We’ll tell you more in our next full test. With its Full HD, the slab has a very high resolution – it does not hurt – and it is protected by Gorilla Glass technology of last generation (anti-scratch, shock resistance)
In addition Ultrapixel sensor already on the M7 (one 4 megapixels) found the back of the M8 a second 2-megapixel sensor. It does not take a picture, but saves all data on the depth of field. Called Duo Camera, this technology allows twofold after shooting, to blur the background (or foreground) for rendering professional type, Bokeh, we usually obtained with a reflex . With this device, it also becomes possible to add a 3D effect to your photos by simply tilting the phone. Note that HTC has integrated its new One Dual LED flash for more natural colors, as well as a 5 megapixel camera façace for successful selfies and shoot in Full HD.
4. Power further increased
While M7 was based on the Qualcomm Snapdragon processor 600 (like the Galaxy S4) a four cores clocked at 1.7 GHz, the M8 inherits her (like the Samsung Galaxy S5 and Sony Xperia Z2), the latest chipset American founder: 801 Snapdragon. This platform quad-core 2.26 GHz coupled with 2 GB of RAM is the new HTC One one of the most powerful and versatile smartphones of the moment. Results on Antutu 4 show an excellent score (between 33 000 and 35 000). Games 3D effect and full HD video at will!
5. Finally, a memory card reader!
a major shortcoming of the previous model, it was his memory certainly comfortable (32GB) but not extensible. With the new One and 16GB “only”, HTC made a clean sweep of the past. A memory card reader is well integrated into the housing of the smartphone and accepts microSD cards up to 128 GB The ability to keep itself on all data and especially a maximum of multimedia files. Located on the right side of the mobile – the opposite of the Nano SIM slot – the card reader opens with a small metal key provided by the manufacturer
6. Sense 6 brings a lot of news
overlay HTC Sense now version 6. New colors, new fonts and more customization possibilities are scheduled while the flow of information BlinkField even better. Gestural control of smartphone finally makes its appearance (Motion Lauch). Following the example of the LG G2, a double tap on the screen to turn it off or turn it on at will. Screen off with a simple swipe of your finger to the left, right or up, it leads directly to the home screen and widgets, the flow Blinkfield or last accessed application.
7. Far superior to that of M7 autonomy
M3 embeds a higher capacity battery than its predecessor (2600 mAh vs 2300 mAh), unfortunately still immovable. However HTC Announces Increased autonomy 40% likely to forget this defect. At the time of writing lines, our first tests seem to go in the direction of the manufacturer’s data, or even exceed his instructions. One new well beyond the 10 hours surfing 4G and call 20 hours, which should place it among the best. With the M8, an Energy Saver mode Far (like the S5) also appeared. It is supposed to provide up to 10 days standby mobile (and standby restricted mode) for receiving calls and SMS.
8. Double front speaker even better
One HTC models are part of the very few smartphones to be equipped with speakers on either side of the screen for better immersion when viewing a film, for example. With BoomSound and beats audio mode, the M7 offered one of the best audio quality in the market. On the M8, the beats disappear fashion, but BoomSound technology has been improved. HTC announces and powerful sound 25% and especially better with a wider spectrum of frequencies for enhanced bass tones down treble. To compare with future competitors, but HTC puts the bar very high here!
9. A new sensor for HTC One M8
Despite persistent rumors, HTC has not announced bracelet connected to the launch of its M8, unlike its main competitors LG, Sony or Samsung . The smartphone ships, however, the standard application of famous sports / wellness / health Fitbit. Without bracelet, this combined with the Smart Sensor Hub application, a new low-energy component which drives many sensors integrated hardware, you can use your mobile phone as a pedometer or sports coach. A check in our tests, of course! Even off screen, this smart sensor hub is still awake and he is, for example, which will make a call simply by wearing the mobile to his ear. Foxy!

Compatible with the new overlay HTC Sense 6, the case Dote View (50 euros sold option) is adorned with an original design with its rubbery texture and perforations. Not only role is to protect the screen of the M8, but it also allows the display of notifications (calls, sms absence, time, etc.) in a retro style, so pacman.
