Customer Ratings & Reviews

Had to choose between this and Samsung 5. Think I made a great choice. Sleek look, excellent speakers in the front. Takes terrific pictures, maybe i'm photographically challenged but do find it a bit confusing at times to use the camera. The video is second to none, great for watching ESPN/Netflix, etc. Works really well using wifi connections too. Not a lot of bloatware and very easy to set up. great price, Highly recommended!

Definitely a high-end phone that is worth the money if you are looking for a nice balance of function vs. features. Meets my every need with little compromise.

This is the first non-Motorola phone I've had in years. I'm very satisfied with it. Battery life has been quite good for my uses (I don't play games or watch a lot of video). The size is appropriate as a phone handset and the display is more than satisfactory for email, web browser, and maps.

This is a fantastic phone. It is very fast, has a sharp display, strong battery life (I can get through more than a day without charging), and I like the HTC apps such as Blinkfeed and Zoe. It also looks smooth, beautiful and solidly built. The sound from the front-facing Boomsound speakers is high-quality. Although some people have questioned the camera, I have been happy with it. One thing that is important is to focus the camera on the correct spot to avoid overexposure or underexposure.

I got this phone about a month ago, for $50 on contract you cant beat it.... I love that it is 32gb AND expandable, and has great build quality, I've already had a few small drops and not a scratch to speak of. The sound quality is excellent and the screen is big without making the phone difficult to hold.

Phone is perfect for what I need--wanted great quality pictures and sound of music. Easy to access internet and use services on the screen.

This is a great phone. Camera is great quality and snaps pictures very quickly. I would recommend this phone to anyone that wants a powerful phone with great features.

I have run various versions of the Samsung Galaxy S line for the past 4 years. I decided to try something new with the HTC One M8 and have loved it. Both the Galaxy S5 and HTC One are powerhouses running Android, so the differences are few, but important. HTC's hardware, sound quality, and especially UI overlay (Sense) sealed the deal for me. It seems much more intuitive than the Galaxy phones I've owned.

very intuitive device, faster learning curve than samsung galaxy s3. Best is multimedia messages download on wireless, unlike my samsung

I think this phone is better than I Phone. Nice camera. Easy to use

The camera is lacking but the overall phone is amazing its clean sturdy the right weight, it doesn't fell like it's gonna break if you drop it. the sound is great the dotview case is pricey and lacking but that can be changed with an update and really how much people value the convenience of it .

Not 5 stars due to Blink Feed it useless to me, and the fact that since I live/work close to an international boundary i continually get warnings about roaming even though it is set up home only network. That was not an issue with my last phone. Other than that it works, feels, sounds great and like other Android phones is a no brainer to operate.

This phone is easy to use and I enjoy using it. Works well in my life.

Phone is amazing. Love the feel of the phone. Does everything you want it to do and more. Super fast. Haven't had any issues with the phone!

The HTC ONE M8 is very easy to figure out and does everything I need it to very well. It fits in the pocket nice, and doesn't need a big case as it's built pretty solid. Throw a screen protector on and you're good to go.

Great phone...good upgrade from my iPhone...nice change

Great phone features and pictures. Second HTC phone for my son - very reliable. Price was good at Best Buy and they matched a lower price about 30 days later.

So let me guess, you can't decide between the Samsung Galaxy S5 and the HTC One M8. Here's the deal: they're both awesome phones. It's like deciding between a BWM and Mercedes. Yes, each has some features that you may prefer over the other based on your preferences but there isn't a bad choice here. Both are fast with awesome displays and a boat-load of features. So why did I pick the M8? Since they're pretty even on the big stuff, it came down to the little details. Here's why I'm suggesting the M8 versus the Galaxy S5: The speakers: not even close. The M8's speakers blow away pretty much every other phone out there. You can leave your portable speakers at home. The speakers on this phone are amazing. The camera: while it's true that the Galaxy's rear facing camera might be a little better, the M8's front facing camera (the selfie camera) is far superior to the Galaxy. Is the rear facing camera as good as the iPhone or Galaxy? No. Is it still an awesome camera capable of taking great photos? Yes, absolutely. And, I love the camera software that the M8 has. I’ve taken lots of pics with the M8 and the only issue I’ve noticed is that when your subject is in shadow with a bright background, the background tends to get a little washed out. Other than that, it’s a great camera with amazing features. UI: while they both have a nice user experience, I found the M8 to have a lot "smoother" experience while the Galaxy seems a bit cluttered. Construction/design/style: again, the M8 walks away with this category, hands down. This phone really stands out. I know, you’re probably going to put a case on it anyway but even with a case, it’s still a beautiful machine. The size is perfect and it feels like a quality piece of equipment. I wanted an awesome phone but I like to stand out and this phone does that in several good ways. Why blend in with the iPhone and Galaxy (which are both great phones) crowd when you can walk a different path? I’ve had iPhones for several years and I have zero regrets about switching to the HTC One M8. So that’s just my two cents. Blah, blah, blah. Now go ask the internet. 

The phone is great for listening to music and takes a good pic. the phone looks great too!

I purchased this device the same day it was announced. I had been researching all of the leaked information prior to the announcement and knew without a doubt this was the device I wanted. HTC has really stepped up their game with the new M8. Solid construction, lightning fast speeds, and a very well thought out user interface. The device feels great in your hand. The brushed metal casing is exquisite compared to the plastic casings of most other smart phones available today. Setting the device up for first use was a breeze and the Android Kit Kat OS allows for plenty of customization to make the phone truly unique to you. This phone is my first encounter with BoomSound and Man Oh Man is it different. I've had HTC phones in the past, I've had those with increased amplifiers, Beats Audio and more, but this device really stands out above the rest. The stereo quality coming from the front of this handset while watching a movie or just listening to your own media is astounding for coming from a phone! A lot has been said to criticize the camera since it does not have a high end 13+ Megapixel shooter. Instead it only comes with a 4 Ultrapixel unit but with the larger pixels, shots in low light conditions come out great. The second camera on the back of the unit is for depth perception and really makes for a wonderful user experience. I can snap photos as often and as quickly as I can hit the button and then take time later to adjust the focus, zoom, etc for the perfect picture. Most of my photo's are shared digitally and I rarely will send a photo to the printer to be hung on the wall so the cameras equipped into this device are perfect for my own personal needs. Not to mention the 3D effects, fore-ground editing, and seasonal features tend to cause "jaw-dropping" results when displayed to friends and family. HTC's updated Blink Feed is truly amazing for taking a quick look at whats going on in your social media worlds. You can get the highlights of all your social media networks in one place, or individualize your feed to one service at a time. Clicking on anything in BlinkFeed opens the specific social media app and takes you directly to the post you're interested in. Battery life is always a bit of a concern but the 2600 mAh battery seems to do just fine. I can pull the phone off the charger just before I leave for work (around 8:00am) and with normal use, a bit of gaming on my breaks, and even some music streaming during my evening workout (with headphones), I can make it through a full day and put the phone back on the charger around 10:00pm at around 10%. And, with the announcement of HTC Super Power Saver Mode set to be released in an update in the coming months, the battery life will only get better. The new power saver mode is said to disable networking when its not being used or needed but still leave you connected for calls and texts and will allow for the phone to stay on for 10 days in a single charge when activated. This is rumor of course, but if it reaches even 5 days on a single charge while still keeping me connected, its still very impressive. Overall, in my opinion, this phone is the top of the line, best your money can buy, at the time of this review. A few mainstream devices will be released later this year which will create stiff competition for the HTC One (M8) but personally, I dont think a "cheap plastic design with bells and whistles" or a "Lets repeat what we've done for the past 4 years and just add a letter to the end of the name" will be able to compare to the outstanding quality of the HTC One (M8).
