Combination of aluminium body, big screen size and high specs = best smartphone in the world for me.

Hello Linus!

 

My favourite feature of the HTC One M8 would have to be the new secondary camera, the new editing options (such as blurring out the background) would be a lot of fun to use!

The most appealing thing about the M8 in my opinion would be the full metall back, definitely.

But you can't ignore the fact that you can finally use this phone outside in broad daylight and not have to cover the screen with your hand to see the screen!  :)

What I really love about this phone is the speed at which it can operate! With other android devices you have a bit of delay when trying to load different things...but this one does it in a blink of an eye :D

My favorite thing about the HTC One M8 is that it isn't a freakin' iphone

Such a nice phone, my favourite feature would definite have to be the speakers. It's such an obvious thing to do but somehow HTC are the only ones doing it...

What I love most about teh M8 is the great battery life in spite of only 2600 milliamp hours :D

-edit Almost didn't say this because it's obvious but the speakers are so innova-I mean obvious how could you not want the only phone that makes sense?
