HTC One M8

I usually dont write reviews, but look at what Gaurav Raj (Seems like a samsung employee) has written as a 'might help' thingy.... i thought of writing a review of the HTC One M8 phone, and a reply to gaurav's so called review, based on which which people (of course with that budget) would decide to buy or not.nnMight helpnI am not here for cons. And pros. nYou have highly qualified reviews for that.nnI want to share some things.nn1.width matters , for one handed use, bezels are big on sides considering it is not even waterproof.nnIts not good for one handed use considering it is not even waterproof?? What kind of link is this? The phone is perfect to use in one hand. Please note, its tall, not wide. And its as wide as (or lesser) than other normal smartphones in the market.nn2.people saying it is waterproof - That video on youtube ended there itself, phone shows IC problems in a month or two .nnIf the company says its not waterproof, dont listen to people who say it is. and dont put it in water.nn3.Camera performance is still bad .I dont want depth information if I cant click nice pictures.nThe OIS is very very gery important feature for mobile emergency phtography.and they ditched it.nnIf YOU cant click nice pictures, its YOUR fault, not the phone's. Agreed u dont want depth information. nOIS is very very important (because samsung got it?)... Were you using it in 2013 or any of your previous smartphones? nnn4.The device feels like something you might not ever have hold, The curves are even more perfect than MOTO X.nnUse a case. Anyways, you are going to use a case even if you buy an S5.nn5.i agree boomsound speakers are nice, but most of the times you might be hearing from headphones.nNo one would use it as a main speaker unit.better get a small JBL 4o pair with if you love stereo audios in home.nnSo you are left which no option but to agree that you like boomsound speakers, but then u use headphones, or you buy JBL. :D :Dnn6.Those speakers include super heavy space and the HTC logo uses the space too.nSTILL THE KEYS ARE ON SCREEN.nImmensely wasted space and specs .nnPeople more intelligent that you across the world are appreciating the design of the phone, and the speakers, but you see everything the phone has or does, as a disadvantage. (Is this a paid review??? I mean paid by Samsung) :DnnnI wont suggest anyone to buy this unless you are an htc or apple user for who class is the important thing first and smartphone ness is the secondnnnLASTLY, I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU, WHICH PHONE DO U USE??? I would love to write a full review on that phone.nnComing to the HTC One M8 review... Only one line.nnIf you have the budget and plan to stay with an AMAZING phone for at least 3,4 years... BUY !nnI bought and HTC HD2 (4 years back), then and HTC One X (2 years back), and now a HTC One M8. All the phones are still working perfectly. TILL DATE. (Gaurav, are you listening???)nnBTW, HTC has promised to provide Google Android updates for the next 2 years. So your phone will be up-to-date for the next 2 years.

Now first things first........pretty hefty price tag for a phone but does it justify the tag and the answer is absolutely a big satisfactory yes!!!!n1) The design of the phone is the main clinching point of the deal and feels absolutely luxurious in the hand (you need to see and feel it in person).....that cold feeling you get when you pick up your phone in in morning is unmatched by a samsung or sony or even an iphonenn2) Now lets talk about the software and its another plus to htc its nippy and fast.....no lags as in a galaxy....no crashing as in ios......no stupid bloatware......no cartoon icons...just a very clean UI probably the best after stock android and in some places seems even betternn3) Screen is LCD gorgeous looking but not as punchy colors as in a samsung......its on a cooler side of shade...but i like it more than super amoled as its not in ur face always viewing angles are gr8nn4) Memory problem has been solved by HTC and it makes sense as everything cannot be fit in a 16 gb phone.....so you can expand upto 128gbnn5) Motion gestures are more than useful and doesn't seem gimmicky or added for the fun of it.......very useful as the power button is in a very awkward position that is on the top of the phone......you need to operate with the second hand in order to reach in itnn6) Now let's talk about the elephant in he room THE CAMERA or should i say camerasn there are 2 rear cameras actually the top one is a depth sensor which gives u a chance to refocus ur image later the bottom one is 4 megapixel/ultrapixel nIt takes decent photos that can be used on social networks easily but doesn't provide much details on zooming innnso at last nPROS: the design , software , motion gestures , expandable memory , new camera effectsnnCONS: the position of power buttonn Camera according to some is not upto the mark but for me is appropriate forn regular shots after all who stands in front of a landscape with a mobile camera un better buy a cannon for itnnIn conclusion this phone will surely turn heads when you take it out of your pocket!!!
