The HTC One M8 smartphone’s exterior appearance is very similar to its HTC One phone which was released last year with curvaceous edges and tinted aluminum casing that provides protection. It can easily be declared as the best phone manufactured by the company till date due to its features and appearance. Available in three irresistible colors of grey, silver and gold with attractive display the phone feels light as well as solid in hand. The new model carries forward its previous year’s legacy of eye catching display, high end technology and 1080 full HD display which can compete with best models available in the market till date. The only difference between its last year’s model and present one is soft touch navigation buttons which are now located on the touch screen itself right above its logo which charmingly fade off when not in use.

Camera Features – UltraPixel camera has been carried forward from previous HTC One phone which clicks clear pictures when accompanied with its LED flash. Its ability to focus fast on objects to be photographed allows one to concentrate on camera angles and click pictures at a faster pace than regular phone cameras.

However due to dual lens configuration of its camera the pictures are both sharp and clear while its smaller lens camera in rear side has varied focusing filters to focus on varied objects with a particular area and make a new image altogether. A major grouse of users is inability to manually change its camera settings as the controls are quite tiny and quite difficult to activate.
