Processing and delivery:
The scope of delivery turns out more than satisfactory. Even very sound High-quality headphones, charger and USB cable as well as a silicone case for the smartphone are provided next to the device. The build quality is top. It looks incredibly beautiful, that you really do not want to pack it in an envelope. But the reverse is more likely to fall but very slippery and therefore this is a must. Otherwise, it's perfectly finished with me.
Display:
The display has almost blew me away. It is very large and extremely sharp, the brilliance and brightness are first peak. It is so pleasant to look at the screen, mainly because colors are reproduced as full of contrasts but of course. Really great!
Power:
The performance topped course again all I had. It's incredibly fast, both the homescreen and surfing. It never jerky. Here it is the iPhone no longer guaranteed anything after. Even current games with high graphics can be reproduced perfectly. Here, the One M8 convinced again fully.
Camera:
Photos succeed as good as ever. The order made pictures look great on the smartphone. The only drawback is that the 4 megapixels but then often lead to a very large screen means that individual pixels are visible. But who wants to achieve with a smartphone camera for serious printing poster-sized? For that I have but my DSLR. What convinced me the front camera. The triggers on high and also achieved in darker environments, good images.
Features:
Completely convince the features of the HTC One M8. The front speaker has an incredibly high quality and volume, so that it is in the video look just a new feeling for me with a smartphone. No comparison to previously 4 with the Nexus Blink feed is super, so you have a message that interested always at your fingertips. Very convenient. The numerous settings in Sense 6 have completely convinced me. The fact that the memory also is still expandable via Micro SD, for me was also critical, because I just do not think 16 GB for a smartphone of today sufficient.
Battery:
A very important aspect for me is the battery life. Also there, the One M8 extreme points. At various online tests, it is unbeaten at No. 1 with the battery life. One can surf so much, shoot photos and view running apps and games and the battery decreases only very slowly. He is with the power-saving technology that HTC has verwendetd clearly very good, because a Onscreen time to be proud of about 8-10 hours real! In standby is virtually nothing consumed, when usage is low for a few days are therefore loose inside.
Conclusion:
I am very happy because it is all my demands. Only that it is not waterproof like the new flagships from Samsung and Sony has let me down a bit. You have to know in advance, however, and priorities set. Because everything else is true when one m8 simple processing, performance and features. This device is worth for me the perfect Smartphone and hence the high price.
