I have a US VZW M8 modified beyond description. I've had it since 2014. I have 132 different custom and stock Android OSes installed and all work great. In the Viper OS (kitkat 4.4.4 Sense 6), there is a mod that enables the Sense 5 Weather animation when you wake the phone or unlock, I STILL enjoy it. With the MIUI tweak from Viper devs, if the weather condition is WINDY in the fall, you get super pretty golden, red, and brown leaves floating around your screen in the wind animation, it sooo frekin cool! In the winter your screen gets frosty, it snows, and it gets lightning strikes during thunderstorms. It uses Accuweather provider which STILL works on kitkat. The M8 is the greatest smartphone ever made in my opinion (if you look at it in its time, not in the present with its dinosaur hardware)

What started as me getting my dream phone at the time ended up being one of the most frustrating experiences as a young tech enthusiast. It was slow, buggy and the camera unit was straight up abysmal in comparison to the original M8. The design of it still made me the coolest kid in class so I didn't complain too much 🤣

The first phone I bought secondhand and rooted was the HTC Evo 3D when I was 18 years old (31 now). I initially bricked it because I wiped the internal memory (where I downloaded a custom OS) through TWRP as well as the current installed OS. Got stuck in a boot loop, ended up finding a way to load the custom OS from an external HD and flashed that. Back then you could change you DNS settings so your Wifi tether/hotspot came off your unlimited data plan with the same speed as the normal plan, rather than the capped and limited paid hotspot through T-Mobile. I lived on XDA forums, installing Cyanogen to every Samsung device I got after that.

I went for a flagship phone in 2014. I had to choose between Samsung Galaxy S5, Lg G3, Sony Xperia Z2 and HTC One m8. The S5 had a pretty good camera, the G3 had some awesome OS customization, the Z2 had almost stock Android experience and was very responsive and One m8 had a gorgeous design. At the end I went for the Z2 because overall it was the beast between all other beasts. It had an upgraded IPS display (the previous Z1 had a TFT), the same SD801, a whoping 3GB of LPDDR3 instead of 2GB, a nice 20MP sensor that took great daytime photos, MicroSD card slot, 3.5mm audio jack, front facing stereo speakers and a really big 3200mAh battery (most phones had under 3000mAh even flagship ones). I used this phone for over 7 years before going to a new one. And this Z2 still works today with the first battery from the factory that has around 70% of it's original capacity, just a crazy phone :-)

My One M7 is still sitting in a drawer. It was pretty revolutionary at the time. They stuffed all the components into a milled aluminum body, and to get around the side effect of decreased cell reception, they added cutouts in the frame, something you still see on phones today. Dual front facing speakers, a luxury we barely have today with phones using a bottom firing and top front mounted speaker. Instead of adding more mexapixels to the camera, they used a sensor with lower resolution but larger photosites to increase low light sensitivity; low light imaging performance was going to become of great importance shortly after. It had a 1080p display, which was larger and higher resolution than what Apple was offering with the iPhone 5 at the time. HTC was absolutely on top of their game and creating the best hardware in the Android space.

I think the LG G3, introducing a "slim-bezel" design, a 13MP camera with OIS, and the first phone with a 1440p display... this was the best phone of 2014. It was incredible to see how good the photos were that you were taking on the display, and the iPhone would take yeeeeears to catch up to that.

I wish HTC could keep up with the competition, I used 3 HTC phones. Loved their phones.

My first android phone was the HTC Sensation XL. Loved the brand so much that I got the M8 then the M10. Was so sad when my fave brand died.

I loved that phone so much. If HTC were to ever bring it out again it's an instant cop for me.

Got the M7 on launch day and upgraded to the M8 a year later. This along with the with the LG G5 were my favorite Android phones. And this was probably the best era for smartphones. Slight addendum The M8 wasn't the first phone to ship with two cameras. Though the Horner still goes to HTC. The first iirc was the HTC EVO 3D. Which used two cameras to make 3D pictures. This came out at the end of the 2000s when everyone was saying 3D is back and here to stay. Well it didn't, thank god.

As I proud user of HTC back in 2011-2014, I finally found the phone that gives me the same great feeling of having one of the greatests phones on the market - OPPO.

This mobile was peak android I had one for over 5 years in that time I got a Samsung and iPhone and kept going back to it. I got a new battery and it kept going strong until finally it couldn't keep up with the O/S upgrades. The front facing speakers were awesome 🙏

I had an HTC Sensation 4G, but moved to Samsung Galaxy S5 and onward since then. The Galaxy S5 had IP67, an AMOLED screen, as well as 16MP cameras and 4K video recording which swayed me from ever getting the HTC One M8.

HTC One M7 is my favourite phone ever, and I doubt a phone will replace that now. It was so groundbreaking in so many ways, phones can't really compete with that now.

The device that has most impressed me is the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 from 2012. This tablet is a beast! No seriously, on android 12 it's butter smooth with animations and it doesn't feel slow at all, 12 YEARS LATER!!!. There is even android 13 but I haven't tried that custom rom yet. The tablet itself is awesome, has an IR blaster, SD card slot, SIM card slot, front facing stereo speakers and more. If anyone ever sees it being sold, I recommend getting it, you will not be disappointed and will be just as surprised as I was

I had just bought a Galaxy S5 when this one dropped and I came across it at a Target and decided to trade in for one just based off of the feel in the hand. It's still my favorite phone of all time. Still have it now running LineageOS.

It's probably my favorite and the best phone I've ever had. Those front-facing speakers were game-changing, and that fast charging was mind-blowing at the time.

I still think about the M8 here and there. Absolutely loved that phone. The Sunshine Root S-Off was the best day
