Today, HTC took the wraps off of their new flagship phone, the HTC One (M8). Here’s the key specs:
- 2.3GHz quad-core processor
- 5-inch Super LCD 3 display with full HD 1080p resolution and a Gorilla Glass 3 cover
- 16GB or 32GB of internal storage
- microSDXC support for up to an additional 128GB of storage
- 2GB of DDR2 RAM
- a dual-lens “Duo Camera” at the back
- a 5-megapixel front-facing camera with a wide-angle lens
- Android 4.4 KitKat
Those are top shelf specs. The most intriguing feature is the “Duo Camera” which adds a second rear-facing lens that records depth information while the main lens captures a photo. That in theory should make this a great camera to take photos with. Three colors will be available. “Glacial silver,” “amber gold,” and “gunmetal gray.” It’s available now in the US. Other countries should be announced shortly.
UPDATE: Seconds after I posted this Telus e-mailed me to say that they will be carrying the HTC One (M8). Customers who put in a pre-order at www.telus.com/allnewHTCOne will get three-piece accessory bundle worth $120. The HTC One (M8) will be $229 on a two year plan or $700 outright.
UPDATE #2: Seconds after I posted my last update, Rogers let me know that they will also be carrying the HTC One (M8) as of April 11th for $229 on select 2 year plans. New and existing customers can buy the “gunmetal grey” version online now at via https://www.rogers.com/reserve/.
UPDATE #3: Telus gave five customers that pre-ordered last year’s HTC One and asked them to tell Telus about their favourite features about the new HTC One (M8). Check out what they had to say here.
