I miss HTC flagships... I used the One M9 until the battery couldn't hold a charge anymore. I used that phone so much, that the sharp edge got chamfered because of how much i used it. The rear even has some dull areas where the palm would be. To me, that was the best phone ever made. Camera easily outclassing even the next two generations of phones (modded drivers from XDA). It was so funny when i used to zoom with the 20MP camera and it produced better results than the dedicated 2x zoom camera from a friend's Note 8. Not only that, the performance was incredible. Beat that friend's Note 8 in every possible app, game or emulator. Insanely fast. But after it wasn't usable anymore, i had to buy a new phone. Sadly, there wasn't any HTC phone as intriguing as the M9. Basicaly, i had to pick between the HTC U12+ and the SG Note 9. Even though the U12+ was the cooler phone, the Note 9 was better in pretty much every possible way, and i've wanted a Note since the first one, so i got the Note 9. First impresion was that the UI is garbage, it was so locked down and had such arbitrary restrictions like manual mode only on the main camera (while every HTC ever had manual mode on all cameras, including the front ones), My Files was really shoved down your throat even though there was no point, you couldn't do some stuff i forgot but could do on HTC's UI and many other things. Using the Note 9 was a constant struggle between how good the hardware was and how bad the software was, which was never a problem on HTC, where the software just improved upon the already good hardware, so enhancing the overall experience. When the Note 9 finally became somewhat unusable too (battery issues again) i got the S23 Ultra, because the S24 Ultra is straight garbage.

One of my favorite phones. Comparing phones just to their competition, the One M8 is arguably the greatest phone ever. At the time, it had the best Android experience besides stock Android. In the hand, the phone felt worth the money. Samsung definitely felt the pressure HTC had them on at the time and made huge improvements in the late 2010s.

It has to be my number one all time favorite phone?

I still use my HTC One M8 Eye today. The HTC One M8 Eye is doesn't have the line as the regular one does, but the only real practical difference is that the Eye uses a 13 Megapixel camera in place of the 4 ultrapixel camera on the 'regular' M8. I wouldn't mind using an M8-based Unibody HTC phone, it'd much rather it be made of steel and have modern chips and so on and perhaps a higher resolution screen as the M9+ had (only I prefer the M8's unibody) and perhaps to stick on a decent camera 50 MP camera (let's face it, ultra-wide and telephoto are rarely used and rarely useful and maco cameras are close to useless).

I had this one before (the one with Sense UI) and used it for a very long time until the battery dies. The design, thinnest, speakers and camera of this phone was ahead of its time.
