I'm a Jew hole CNET and I'm here with HTC's latest metal-clad flagship phone the One m8 now physically it's easy to see what it's being cut from the same cloth as its predecessor cuz he on the front it's got the dual front-facing boom stand speakers HTC reckons that these have been made even louder than before still made from metal but that now curves around the sides to meet the screen at the front which makes it extremely comfortable to hold and I think that the brushed effect on this slate color looks really slick as well the screen has been slightly stretched to five inches which is up from the 4.7 inches of before and it has the same Full HD resolution now you might have noticed the two camera lenses on the back now the main one here is a same four ultra pixel sensor as before although HTC reckons that it has improved the clarity of its shots now the other one above it is best thought of as a depth sensor if you snap a picture of your friend for example the phone is able to tell that your friend is closer to the phone when the background is now that allows it to separate the two so you can edit the background without altering your friend or even take your friend out of one picture and put them into another another fun trick is hitting the edit button on a picture and moving the phone around to artificially change the angle of the picture inside the phone is a quad-core 2.3 gigahertz Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor and it comes running the latest Android 4.4.2 kitkat software you'll also find HD sees latest Sense 6 interface onboard so you'll see things like the blink feed news aggregator and there's extra tweaks like being able to change the color palettes and fonts of the interface now HTC hasn't packed the want MH with arguably quite gimmicky features like fingerprint scanners or heartrate monitors but what it has done is make a few key tweaks to what was already a gorgeous phone whether that's enough to keep it competitive against this year's flagships remains to be seen when it goes on sale here in the UK this week i'm andrew hall for CNET and this is the HTC One m8
