hello everybody it's Lynn law from cnet and today I have with me the HTC One m8 for Windows Phone currently available from verizon and later with AT&T the one mA is exactly the same as its previous Android counterparts in terms of high-end hardware that means you'll get the same premium brushed aluminum aesthetic a brilliant 5-inch 1080p display with Gorilla Glass 3 and a powerful two point three gigahertz quad-core Snapdragon 801 processor you'll also get the 1m eights unique dual rear facing cameras armed with what HTC calls a 4 ultrapixel lens the bigger camera handles all your regular camera phone duties while the one on top handles depth perception with tools like you focus and for grounder you can adjust the focus of pictures after you've taken them and add effects to the background there's also a neat dimension plus tool that adds an interactive 3d effect to your photos now what makes this one m8 variant unique is that it's running the Windows Phone OS specifically 8.1 point one with this software you get an animated and clean UI and a live tile home screen there's also deep integration with microsoft outlook and office and the Internet Explorer 11 web browser the digital voice and search assistant Cortana is also included helpful and a bit snarky at times it can schedule appointments look up businesses identify music and much more it has a notebook too to keep tabs on your favorite restaurants and news topics to better cater to your interests HTC through an its signature features to like blinkfeed a Flipboard esque app that consolidates your news and social media feeds into one sense TV is loaded as well which turns your handset into a TV remote using the IR blaster located on the top edge while it's true that Windows Phone doesn't have as large as an app market as iOS or Android it's important that HTC carved more space in this particular platform since it's 8 X handset two years ago right now Nokia Lumia is dominate the landscape so to have such a top to your device enter the market gives more choice to Windows Phone and zoo this if you're interested the device is currently available for a hundred dollars on contract or six hundred dollars without you can also get HTC's dot view case which displays the time and weather through the front cover as well as access to Cortana with a swipe of the finger again I'm Lynn and you've been checking out verizon's One m8 for Windows Phone
