Using the company’s own description, where last year’s model has a back that’s about 70 per cent metal, the HTC One M8’s rear is around 90 per cent metal. HTC has opted in this instance though, to put more of that sleek metal on display. Just like the excellent HTC One, the HTC One M8 is a mostly metal phone. HTC has clearly made a point of focusing on the look and quality of the materials it has used, and has made them a design priority. The HTC One M8 is a beautifully-designed phone, outshining the Galaxy S5 and even better- looking than the attractive LG G3.
Still for £330 it’s a great handset and is well worth considering over its more expensive successor. The downside is a gimmicky camera that doesn’t come close to its competitors. The best bits of the HTC One M8 are its design and battery life – it looks and feels good and can last two days on a single charge if you’re careful.

There’s very little to choose between any of these phones, though the HTC One M8 is superior in a number of departments compared with its main Android rival, the Galaxy S5. There are some great flagship phones competing for your hard-earned money, with stiff competition coming from the iPhone 6, LG G3, Samsung Galaxy S5 and the cheaper Google Nexus 5. Although it hasn’t quite had the impact HTC would have liked, the HTC One M8 was undoubtedly one of the best handsets of 2014. It is now available for £330 SIM-free, significantly reduced from its £530 price at launch, since the launch of the HTC One M9.
The One M8 has a lot to live up to, taking on the mantle from HTC’s best-selling phone ever, and the 2013 winner of TrustedReviews’ Phone of the Year. The HTC One M8 was released in March 2014 as HTC’s flagship model, replacing the HTC One. The HTC One M8 has now been superseded by the HTC One M9, but is still available to buy.
