Anything more about the One M8 other than its camera?
How's the UI (fluidity and speed)? What's new? What does it have over the Xperia Z2 and GS5? How's the battery life? Etc...
I hope more people get it as although I use the Camera a lot in my phone, there is a whole lot of other things we use to.

The phone is fast and very fluid no lag what so ever. The UI is great and it doesn't seem to be as heavy as sense 5 and the screen as you would expect from HTC is stunning and very bright and it makes photos and videos look fantastic but a bit un natural which isn't very HTC but you will only notice this when you transfer images to a monitor that has been colour calibrated. The audio from the dual fronted speakers is very clean but not that much louder than the original (I think HTC claimed it to be 20% louder). The audio quality from a pair of headphones (using my Sony MDR-1RBT) I was left a bit flat the actual quality was good but not much depth to the sound (compared to my Z1) and I couldn't find an equalizer either to change the settings to get it to my taste. Moving on to battery life and after playing with the phone for a good 5 hours today having it on 100% by the time I was finished it was on 39% but again that is with fairly high usage i.e using the camera, video, browsing, music and general usage I found the battery to be average nothing fantastic but as I mentioned yesterday it does get very hot in the centre of the phone. These things are very small points and I'm sure the audio will be spot on for most people and the rest of the phone is superb. It is the only phone I would consider swapping a Sony for it is that good.
I would give it 8/10

Nice looking phone. Also, nice name, mate!
But it's a bit stupid having the front cam have bigger picture dimensions than the back cam!

^ It is strange that HTC would do that I've never had one customer come into my store and as for a phone that does great selfies. The camera is its weak point by far and just baffles me as to think they knew the original drew criticism for the camera last year so rather than fix that problem they give it some gimmicky features that to honest don't work well in the real world and that you will probably only use a handful of times.

Of course it is bad. The camera "lens" is plastic!

Thanks a mill for this
Always great to hear from an actual user. Sounds like HTC did a good job overall but once again the Camera doesn't live up to the hype, I wish they'd drop this UltraPixel rubbish. :/
