HTC One (M7) in 2013 brought the unique charm of metal shell to everyone. On March 25, 2014, HTC released its new flagship HTC One (M8), and the metal proportion of the fuselage increased from 75% to 90%. Also because of the heavy use of metal materials and outstanding appearance design, M8 has been welcomed by "metal control" people since its release. We have also got the mobile version of HTC One (M8), so let's see it first.
Since we only got "bare machine", the traditional unpacking process was skipped. What about the "tall and tall" packaging
The overall appearance design of HTC One (M8) (hereinafter referred to as M8) continues the design style of M7. When the screen is turned off, the front is very "high-end black". The front BoomSound dual speakers are very aggressive ▼
The front camera has reached 5 million pixels, while the rear camera has only 4 million pixels. The M8 is also the first mobile phone with a higher front than rear pixel ▼
In the "chin" part, the two touch keys on the M7 are removed and the virtual keys are used instead (this is also the place where the most complaints are made) ▼
The rear cover is made of metal in a large area. The texture is very good. We got the silver M8 ▼
The camera part is really a lot of highlights. First of all, the configuration of dual cameras is rare. There is also a dual color LED fill light beside it. The main camera still has UltraPixel technology, but there is no optical anti shake function. There is a noise reducing microphone ▼ beside it
The chamfer polishing process of the frame is very excellent, which shows excellent workmanship everywhere ▼
The whole black part on the top is actually the shape of the infrared sensor, which reminds people of the remote control of the TV, and contains the black key ▼
At the bottom are microUSB interface and 3.5mm headphone interface ▼
On the right is the microSD card slot and the volume key ▼
Support microSD card expansion ▼
The left side is the SIM card slot. What's more puzzling is that the M8 has also been replaced with the same nanoSIM as the iPhone 5, which will definitely make some users feel inconvenient ▼
The SIM card slot looks very long, but actually only the smallest nano SIM ▼ is used
Although the M8 screen is enlarged to 5 inches, it has a narrower border than the previous generation and the smooth processing of the border. It feels good to hold it with one hand ▼
From the top, it can be seen that the M8 frame is treated in an inclined plane, which is more suitable for holding ▼
The original supporting sleep protective sleeve, the front is treated with glue ▼
The back cover is made of slightly hard plastic, which is easy to grind ▼
Official accessories, of course, are very personal, and also have the function of turning on the automatic light screen, which is very easy to use ▼
Click on the key in the closed state, and the time and weather will be displayed in dots ▼
The new Sense 6.0 still retains the secondary menu, and the icon is more flat ▼
The leftmost page of the launcher is BlinkFeed. You can browse the subscription information ▼
The first five shortcut switches and notifications ▼ are displayed in the single finger drop-down bar
Quick switch ▼ for the whole page of the double finger drop-down bar
The design of the secondary menu is still retained ▼
On the lock screen interface, click the unlock icon, draw up to unlock, draw left to return to the starter, and draw right to open blinkfeed ▼
Press the multi task key to open the multi task management ▼
The setting menu is simple in color matching and caters to the popular flat interface ▼
M8 has a variety of motion launch screen out gestures. This function is very practical. It can realize double click wake-up, slide up unlocking, etc. This is also a big improvement ▼
The system is based on Sense 6.0 ▼ of Android 4.4.2
Open the developer option. Sense 6.0 has a unique "Running Mode" ▼
Support ART, I believe that many users have seen it with tears ▼
Dial panel, flat design, main color is black, slightly heavy taste ▼
Message editing interface ▼
Album ▼
The M8 uses Qualcomm's most high-end Snapdragon 801 MSM8974AC processor, which has powerful performance. How about HTC's optimization of this SoC? Let's use some theoretical performance scores to test:
The available RAM at startup is about 1G ▼
Available ROM exceeds 10G ▼
According to the evaluation of Anthare, more than 38000 is an excellent score. It is believed that only the Galaxy S5 of Exynos 5422 can compete with one another ▼
3D drawing score exceeds 9600 ▼
Pi scores into 26 seconds, quite tough ▼
Sunspider also scored 690ms and performed well ▼
GBA simulator, with 170 frames, has exceeded Exynos 5410 ▼
GFXBench 3.0， The frames of Manhattan and Tyrannosaurus Rex scenes have reached the level expected by Snapdragon 801 ▼
3DMark, eye-catching performance, more than 20000 points, and the number of frames in each scene is also very high ▼
M8 still adopts the 4 megapixel camera of UltraPixel technology. Let's take a look at the photo samples (click to view the original image):
In the same scene, the HDR effect is obviously improved, but strange "ghost" appears:
M8 has a variety of post photo functions. The following is to take photos before focusing:
Focus on the yellow doll:

More tests and sharing will be shown in the detailed test of M8.
