HTC M8: What to Expect!

2014-02-08
hey what is up guys I'm kitty HD here and today we're going to be talking about the potential successor to the already legendary HTC One now we don't actually know what the name of that phone is going to be it could be the HTC two or the HTC One V two we don't actually know but we do know that it's at least internally codenamed the HTC m8 so that is what we're gonna be calling it for this entire video so the HTC One was one of my favorite phones of 2013 period hands down it had amazing specs it had excellent speakers and had a build quality that set a new standard for what high-end smartphones should feel like of that unibody aluminum so whatever the new name of this new HTC smartphone is it's going to have some seriously big shoes to fill so the rumoured specs here are a little bit less than concrete obviously nothing is confirmed but I'll give you the spec rundown and you can let me know what you think first of all we are expected to keep that legendary unibody aluminum design and the front facing speakers without that I don't even know if we could call the successor to the HTC one so yes this m8 is expected to have the same beastly build quality now similar to this build quality we're also expected to keep these premium specs so it's also expected to launch with newest version of the Snapdragon 800 not the 805 and two gigabytes of RAM and the newest version of Android Android 4.4.2 with Sense 6 on top of it which brings us to the next point the physical design of the phone is expected to switch from HTC's off screen buttons to HTC's on-screen buttons so we've seen leaked screenshots now of HTC Sense 6 on the m8 and it does have software on-screen buttons which would lead to a slight change in design so the HTC One had a 4.7 inch 1080p display and if you look at the phone from like a take a step back it actually had really big bezels because of the huge speakers on the top and the bottom so having these on-screen buttons now would require a little bit more space so we're expected to see a slightly larger display coming in at 5.0 inches 5-inch 1080p display is still way over 400 PPI so it's going to look extremely sharp and of course it'll have the on-screen buttons now so slightly less bezels so love it or hate it that's probably going to be thing those buttons are going to be moving to on screen probably 90% chance of that happening and then there is the camera probably the biggest question mark ever so I've seen these leaked shots of a new HTC flagship that looks like the HTC m8 that has two cameras two physical camera aperture openings two different sensors on the top and middle of the phone these are expected to actually be used by HTC not for 3d nothing crazy like that but to actually be used for some HTC software for refocusing a shot after it's taken and some other pixel depth things and I'll leave a link below to a Toshiba phone that actually already does this so it has two five megapixel sensors and uses Toshiba software to refocus a shot afterwards I'll leave the link will have a like button to check that out and I guess we're expecting now the new HTC m8 to have this same feature that seems pretty cool and they're also apparently sticking with the ultra pixels I did a video all on the ultra pixel explained as you probably already know the HTC one had a four ultra pixel or four megapixel camera this is supposed to be improved and I'm actually happy that they're improving it's because it had massive potential obviously the low-light shots could be better with something like optical image stabilization so if they stick with this ultra pixel thing and improve the technology and make it better who knows maybe it will be way better than the typical CMOS sensor with 15 or 18 megapixels so props HTC for sticking with that and I'm excited to see how that performs so that's basically it that is essentially what we know about the new HTC one it's not everything you know it doesn't give you a full picture but it should give you a pretty good idea of what the phone's going to look like and feel like in the hand especially if you have held an HTC One before I'm also expecting personally performance to be excellent even though it's not the newest 805 chip from Qualcomm the Snapdragon 800 does really really well with Android 4.4 KitKat because of its lower system requirements and it taking better advantage of lower specs so I expecting performance to be great it's all gonna depend on HTC Sense 6.0 here and what sort of software HTC decides to throw into that and we're also expecting this phone to drop sometime in late March I think the window that we originally thought was q1 which is a pretty big window now in February and it's sort of narrowing down to late March here and I'll keep you guys updated on Twitter if I find an event date or something official like that now I'm sure there will be way more leaks between now and then I mean it's 2014 everything leaks and I'm sure there will be way more before the phone actually comes out but if you're not interested in the HTC One or the m8 at all actually also uploaded a video today on the Samsung Galaxy s5 and what to expect with that phone so if you're more into the Galaxy S line you can check that out yes I did upload two videos in one date today so check those both out I'll have that link also below the like button so there's just a whole bunch of links below in the description to check out again that has been it hope you enjoyed thank you for watching and I'll talk to you guys in the next one
