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?

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. 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.
