Review: HTC One M8 is the best smartphone in the world

[nate]

I would totally get it if not for the fact that I want one of the Galaxy watches.  Wish the Galaxy phones would have a metal case.  It is my biggest gripe.

You should wait another week or two for the next greatest smartphone to come out so you can't decide to get that one as well.

is M8 pronounced "em-eight", like a BMW M3?

or is it "mate"... which is kind of lame.

I think like M3.  M8 stands for model 8.  It is the 8th Android smartphone they have made.

I was thinking of getting one of the Samsung watches, but the new stuff announced by Google (especially that one from Motorola) looks amazing.

Yea just no idea when they will come out.

My wife had a fitbit force but with the recall she wants a gear fit.

Summer, allegedly.

 

Samsung will be making AndroidWear, too.

So this is even better than the LG G2?

That is when the OS is released.  I think the hardware is still a ways out.

The first smartphone case ever that I actually want to use

 

A bit on the pricey side.  But a neat concept.

I recently traded my Note 3 for an M8.  I was unimpressed.  Coming from a Note 3 and an LG G2, the screen display was not as sharp and colors were not as vibrant on the M8 in comparison to the former two.  The front speakers are amazing; the best quality about the phone.  Also, the metal build is slick, though a non-essential factor to me since I put all my phone in protective cases.  But the front camera is disappointing with only 4mp quality.  

 

So I ended up selling the M8 on Swappa.  Bought a used LG G2 in great condition and netted $200.  

 

Let see what the LG G3 brings to the table.

A good camera is essential on any phone for me.  For example, I took my wife and two young children to Photo Day yesterday.  I would have struggled taking pictures with an actual camera while juggling the kids and getting them in position to take pictures with the players stopping by.
