Did it lag after 2 years. i want a phone that i can use for 2-3 years. it has to be htc. it needs to work all the games in the market with no lag whatsoever. And it needs a good battery and average camera. of course i want the htc 10 but i can only afford this or desire eye. But i cant take my eyes off this even in 2016. its a budget phone now and would you recommend it??

I'll be getting an Xperia Z2.. HTC let me down big time with that camera (I have the M7 as well, and it's easily the worst smartphone camera on the market, my one s was much much better). I agree completely on the bezel, that just makes no sense. They made the screen bigger and the phone taller, only to waste it with virtual keys and keep the huge bezel. So technically speaking the M8 has a smaller useable screen than the m7 and it's taller :/ I'm glad the bright back the sd slot and I like the metal finish.. but the uglier design, pitiful camera, and only marginally bigger battery don't make me want to upgrade this time.

vexx506 I also had a One S and now an M7 :D I wouldn't say the One S's camera was better though, just checked my Dropbox for pictures with the One S and compared them. Of course it was higher resolution but the pictures taken with the M7 are nicer until you zoom in or crop it... :) Got my hands on an M8 since then. In reality it looks great, feels even better in your hands than the M7. The buttons on the sreen are even more annoying in person though, when you see that bezel and that the screen is smaller becfause of those buttons that could be placed in that empty black space... ah. So annoying. Sense 6 is not a big improvement but that's not new for me, have Sense 6 ROM on my M7 since the 24th. Not sure I'm not going to buy it in the future, because overall it's not bad, but I'll definitely wait for the Z2. Only thing sure is I won't get the Galaxy S5 ever. :D

Well they did forget about it. It's just that Nvidea doesn't send HTC software for the NVidea chip and witouth the software for that they can't update it ( i guess)

Pradiben Nagalingam Didn't

Pradiben Nagalingam how can the nexus 7 first gen which runs on tegra 3 get updates?

I guess it's probably because Google does get the right software for the tablet but HTC doesn't

I'm not sure of it though I've read it somewhere some time ago

did it ever lag. And does it handle the best games and has a truly outstanding performance as people say. i wonder about the camera and the battery of this phone before i buy it. Yes in 2016 i will be probably buying a htc one m8 :))

i made mine GPE edition, it's lightning fast, i did s-off on it and fully converted it, running latest android stock version.battery life is good it dipends on your daily use

+lorenzobrit77 ok, thanks for the reply.

Read somewhere that M7 will get it this summer (june/july) - Can't wait! :-)

Astrid Nørgaard i cant wait for the update. Hopfully it's dinner rather than later 😄That's how you take care of customers who INVESTED in your product. Great work htc..

Why do people want the sense 6 update? IMO it's incredibly ugly. What actual features are added?

vexx506 without having seen it en real life I think it looks a lot smoother, with transparent buttom line (what do you call it?), transparent app-folders and customizable blinkfeed... I've always wanted that, so that is why I look forward to it!

ME 2

At least it is a tank, it is hard to break it and the screen.

lol, because water resistant is so much more important. dont forget last years Galaxy S4 Ative, "water resistant" gets water damaged, not even covered by warranty.

楪いのり haha yeah.. Fail on Samsung's part. Sony does waterproofing right, but HTC all the way.

Lol do you live underwater? Or you are simply too stupid and drop your phone into the toilet daily, i don't get why someone would choose a phone just because that feature.

ah me piace molto

Io sto pensando di sostituire il mio s3 con questo one m8!!!!!ma a parte il prezzo,la fotocamera non mi convince!cosa ne pensi Fabrizio?

Io aspetterei s5 x un confronto

Pojok hapenya kurang tajam.

they probably will if u ask... :) same here though. Or they should've kept the buttons there, so it would have a function. Best would be if they really thought it's better to have the buttons on the screen if they kept the buttons, but there would be an option in the settings to disable and replace them to the screen. Everyone would be happy then.

I think that's where the amplifier for the bottom speaker resides. Maybe they'll get by the next iteration

XModHunterX exactly.. it's so pointless and wastes that screen space. Now the phone is taller with a smaller screen.

vexx506 It's not pointless, they wouldn't waste screen space just to put on their logo.

No it is not it's more responsive than touch buttons

yea .. me too :) luckily, there customer service here is helpful and friendly ..
