Thought to make a thread where people can post all the latest handsets that have arrived/due to arrive in 2014. A lot of threads tend to appear when people need an upgrade and possibly this thread could go a long way to see at a glance what's new on the market.
I will start with HTCs new release the HTC One M8. Suceeder to HTCs flagship HTC One.
specs at a glance:
Screen size: 5" LCD
Procesing power: Snapdragon 801 quadcore 2.3GHz (2GB RAM)
Software: Android 4.4 KitKat/HTC Sense 6.0
Back Camera: Ultrapixel (eq. 4MP) with two sesnors to capture light and depth.
Front Camera: 5MP
Capcity: 16/32GB w/ MicroSD 128GB expansion available.
4G capable
Twin front facing speakers (HTC Boomsound)
The only thing that irks me a bit surrounding the M8 is the back facing camera and continuing with the ultrapixel that was on the One. Although the depth sensor and the ability to change the point of focus after the picture is taken, it strikes me as slightly gimmicky. That said, it's meant to work great in reduced light.
What i do like is the capacity expansion slot (which wasn't a feature in my current handset the HTC One X) and also the front face camera has been beefed up to 5MP. The latest Snapdragon is an added bonus and should ensure the handset is like lightning. I've always liked the build of the HTCs and the Sense/Android UI so I will be plumping for this one
