New Delhi: HTC has finally unveiled the much-rumoured successor to its HTC One smartphone and has named it HTC One (M8). The phone will be available in India from the third week of April, while it will go on sale in some countries on April 1, said the company.
The HTC One (M8) has a 5-inch, full HD (1080p) display. Powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor with 2.5 GHz quad-core Krait CPUs and fully integrated 4G LTE, the phone runs Android 4.4, KitKat with its Sense 6 lyer atop.
It is claimed to be the world's first smartphone with a duo camera that features HTC's UltraPixel™ module, a dual colour flash and full 1080p HD video recording. Its camera is touted to bring a new dimension to mobile imaging. It has a 5-MP wide-angle front facing camera.
The duo camera is said to have a depth sensor in addition to the main HTC UltraPixel module, capturing detailed depth information from a scene and enabling a range of effects that allow you to do more with your images.
For instance, its duo camera lets you alter the focus of your image after it has been clicked.
The phone will come in 16GB and 32GB versions; the company says the 16GB variant will be initially launched in India, while the 32GB version may come come later.
Unlike the previous-generation HTC One that did not allow users to expand memory, the HTC One (M8) supports a microSD card of up to 128GB for additional storage.
It has 2GB of RAM and 2600mAh battery. The HTC One (M8)'s battery is claimed to offer 40 per cent longer battery life than the last-gen model. The phone takes one hour to charge 80 per cent of its battery, claims the company.
It will come in three colours - Gunmetal Grey, Glacial Silver and Amber Gold. In India, it will initially come in the first two colours, while the gold-coloured variant will be launched later.
