7 Major Things to Know About the HTC One M8

Dynamic Spec Sheet

Everyone anticipated new internals, and yes, that’s exactly you can expect. Benchmark extremists will find solace in knowing the device is powered by Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon 801 quad-core CPU, which already proves to be a multitasking beast capable of managing multiple apps and large media files without any signs of lag. Pair it with 2GB of RAM and fast data speeds via LTE connection, this thing is destined to crush performance expectations.

Plastered on the front is a gorgeous 5-inch, Full HD display that generates 1080×1920 pixel resolution and vibrantly sharp visuals. It’s pretty much the same panel found on its predecessor, only bumped up .3 inches and producing a larger pixel-per-inch ratio. Mediaphiles can finally exhale, as HTC heard your cries and included the one component Samsung fanboys gloated over for nearly two years—an SD card slot. HTC confirmed the One M8 supports expandable memory including SanDisk’s massive 128GB microSDXC card. Battery life is said to produce 40 percent more vitality and last up to two weeks in standby mode as well.
