HTC One specs

The HTC One M8 is the smartphone least likely to wear a case. This year, HTC increased the percentage of metal in the body to 90 per cent and went for a smooth, brushed-metal feel on the back, with tough Gorilla Glass 3 on the front. It looks far more expensive than the Samsung Galaxy S5, and arguably even more so than the iPhone.

Boomsound
Front-facing speakers are such a simple idea, you wonder why more mobile phone companies don't install them. HTC's front-facing Boomsound speakers offer the clearest speakerphone experience of any smartphone on the market, for one very simple reason: They actually aim the sound at your face, not away from it.

Killer Bass
HTC doesn't have an association with Beats anymore, but the bass-heavy Beats sound lives on. The powerful headphone amp in the HTC One M8 delivers tons of bass when paired with the right headphones. HTC's included earbuds aren't bad, but they're only the beginning here.

Power Saving
When your battery runs low, Extreme Power Saving Mode kicks in, restricting the phone's features to calls, texts, mail, calendar and calculator. That gives you 30 hours of standby on your last 10 per cent of battery.

Duo Camera
The small second camera above the HTC One's main camera captures depth information. This lets you pull off a bunch of cool photo tricks, including focusing your photos after the fact and cutting-and-pasting people from one photo into another. For more on the camera, see our battle of the smartphone cameras, which pits the HTC One M8 against the iPhone 5S and Moto X's snappers.
