HTC One: the best Android device, the "ultrapixel' camera after - nrc.nl

HTC One M8

HTC introduced last month a new high-end smartphone, the HTC One M8. It is a formidable competitor to Android phones such as the Sony Xperia Z 2 and the Samsung Galaxy S5.

A beautifully arched back, two large speakers on the front, a sleek aluminum body. This is not a model or sports, but the new HTC One smartphone. Fits comfortably in the hand, certainly not too light (160 grams) and is – on his camera after -. The best Android phone of the moment

Specs HTC One M8 (RRP 699 euro) :

  • Qualcomm Snapdragon processor 801
  • 2 GB RAM, 16 GB storage

    Nano-SIM and memory card capability for up to 128 GB

  • 5 inch full HD screen, 160g
  • Rear Camera: 4.1 “ultra pixel ‘and depth sounder, 5 megapixel

You should

look twice to distinguish from those of last year (M7) HTC One of this year (type M8) The screen is simply gorgeous and slightly larger than before (5 – instead of 4.7-inch).. Some owners of the Old One was the old model therefore something manageable. After a week with the HTC One iPhone with a 4 inch screen feels like downsizing . It is high time that Apple chooses a curvier, but never mind.

Inside the new One is the fastest Qualcomm processor of this moment. The HTC One now swallows a nanosim and there is space for a memory card (up to 128 GB). It may also with 16 GB built-in memory – less than the previous version. Google does 65 GB of space on Drive at present, as you get fifty free Dropbox giegs at Samsung.

It continues to struggle with the stubborn ultra pixel camera that HTC puts in his One. The idea is that fewer, larger pixels capture more light. The pictures, however, do not make it to the competition (iPhone 5S, Sony Xperia Z1). See also the experiences at Hardware.Info. HTC added a rear camera to record and afterwards that depth focus allows. This appears an unreliable gimmick. Rather than the app that you can make. 360-degree images quickly

The finish of the hardware is perfect, and so they should be for 700 euros. HTC has its Sense decor improved over the years and especially simplified. The extras are now no longer in the way. Favorite feature: the double. Put the phone on your desk and tap occasionally twice on the screen to activate the screen and see if there are new messages.

The speakers of the HTC phones are very good. On the other hand, you will usually listen through headphones. Along with the Nexus 5 (LG / Google partnership) this is the most attractive Android device to date. You might also consider the new Samsung S5 in terms of build quality, but that seems not yet to catch up with the competition. But more on that later
