![]() The phone is also available in several colors and in my opinion, this helps a lot. It’s hard to believe for HTC fans, but for those who like metal, the external housing has gone from 75% metal to 95% metal. The HTC One 2014 will help close the gap and I suspect that more people will agree that this is a better design and a few will think that it is a step back. Last year, we had very heated internal debates about the M7, and while Eliane Fiolet loved the design, not everyone in the team agreed and there was quite a rift at time. Like any other “bold” design, the HTC One M8 may be polarizing. It is one of the Android phone that has the most loyal and dare I say, nearly fanatical following. The HTC One M8 is a strikingly beautiful device, and it’s no surprise if HTC has doubled-down on the best asset from the HTC One M7 version. There you go, keep this in mind as you read the review and you should be able to map my experience into your own. I don’t use too many apps, less than 20 and nearly all are for productivity and not entertainment. Casual photography has to be second activity next to text-communications. Most of my time on the phone is spent checking emails, Facebook or browsing the web. Ready? Specificationsįull HTC One M8 specifications Context: How I use my phonesīefore we get deep into this review, let me tell you how I use my phone: I don’t call much, maybe 5mn a day, if at all. I have spent a few weeks with the HTC One, and in this review, I’ll do my best to give you a clear picture of how it feels to use it in the real world and provide you enough information so that you can answer this question: is this your next phone? Let’s start with a short technical overview and move on to real-world usage. And since the original version (M7) had such a staunch -if not fanatical- following, the company has decided to double down on everything that made the One such a high-praise phone: design, performance, software and camera sensor have been improved. (Google Now, the digital assistant for Android devices, is though.With the introduction of the HTC One M8, HTC upgrades its flagship offering and offers a new version of its most famous phone to date. Siri simply isn't smart enough to do that. And you can even follow up with something like, "Where is it?" to get directions. For example, you can ask Cortana how tall San Francisco's Coit Tower is and get the right answer. ![]() Cortana handles search a lot better too, giving you the one answer you're looking for instead of a list of search results like Siri often does. When you launch Cortana, it gives you a snapshot of your calendar along with some headlines and other stuff you might be interested in reading. My favorite new feature is Cortana, which is smarter and more capable than Siri. It took Microsoft a long time, but it eventually caught up. (If you have an older Windows Phone, you'll be getting the update soon if you haven't already.) Between Cortana, the notification menu, and the ability to group apps into folders, there's almost nothing Windows Phones can't do that other smartphones can. With the latest 8.1 update, Windows Phone has finally caught up to iPhone and Android. Windows Phone 8.1 includes a new notification center.
