One odd design choice is that HTC opted to use virtual navigation buttons rather than a dedicated area next to the HTC logo (like on this device's predecessor, the M7) for navigation. The dual sensors (camera and depth sensor) outback are centered vertically at the top of the device and the dual flash setup sits next to the imaging sensor. One small quibble is that the power button at the top is not the easiest button to engage as it sits recessed into the shell of the phone. The buttons along the side are tucked neatly into the metal chassis and there is a power button up top. Seriously, HTC did a great job with the material selections here and our only gripe is that the phone is quite slippery to hold. The curved sides and rounded metal make the device feel comfortable in your hand and the brushed metal backing provides a premium feel that makes you wish every phone was made like this. Metal, metal all over, and we love that HTC did not compromise the exterior of the device by including a plastic backplate. It’s a fantastic addition to the phone in terms of security for your new device and goes to show that HTC cares about the phone long after you make the purchase.

Further, HTC has publicly committed to keeping the device updated with the latest version of Android and won’t let the device go stagnant for a period of two years.

For instance, if you drop your device and the screen breaks in the first 6 months, HTC will replace it. Product CodesĪnother aspect to consider with HTC and not something typically considered in a review is the warranty that HTC offers with the M8.

HTC is touting this phone as a top tier device and we would expect nothing less than the best available from a company who wants to position this phone as a ‘best-of-class’ device. On paper, this thing is a beast.īut that should be expected. HTC really did not hold much back when it comes to the M8, with a 5in Super LCD3 display, 32GB of storage, 2GB of RAM and a 2.3 Ghz quad-core Snapdragon 801 powering all the internals.
