CNET News - New HTC One M8 focuses on camera features

HTC's new One M8 smartphone features two cameras on the back and lets you change the focus of a photo after it's taken. CNET's Sumi Das and Jessica Dolcourt discuss whether it's worth upgrading or switching to the new HTC One.

Did anyone else noticed the dent around the camera module?

Sexy phone, getting one in April!

Still would rather have a Galaxy S5. Hate onscreen SoftKeys, don't care for freaking Beats Audio speakers (I use headphones like 97 percent of the time) or metal. If I was worried about breaking the back of a phone, I'd buy a case.

It will surely be the one that I'm going to upgrade from my old phone

The gimmicks like the hear monitor and fingerprint scanner can suck it. I can't see why I would pay for something I won't want nor need.

[leonidas]

Why would i want a heart rate sensor in my phone? I prefer better camera, speakers, built quality...

[jayfromharlem]

I don't need or want a fingerprint scanner... NSA won't have my prints on file. 

[tnductai]

having 2 cameras is unnecessary. The refocus can be done with software like "Refocus" on the Lumia line.

Who cares about the heart rate monitor on the S4?

[Mitchthemysteryman]

Funny, the front facing camera is higher res. than the back camera

This is definitely up there with Apple. It's perfect for those who want a small display with an iphone build quailty. If they offered a High DPI 5.7" it would be great for me. I'm waiting for the Note 4. I could never go under a 5.5" display.

Cnet, stop bullshitting. The M8 is an amazing phone, and is a much better experience than the S5. No one cares about a heart rate monitor.

[BrennanWactlar]

The iPhone you showed was an iPhone 5S

[DominicLondon]

Cnet titles never fail to make me laugh.

[alnd]

CNET really don't want people buying this amazing phone.

[khyree]

Wtf it sounds like all the features of the s4

[jonemide]

Note 3 seems to be the best Samsung phone ever!

[kingromeothafirst]

I don't know why they keep showing that ugly gun metal gray one, the glacier silver one is the best looking one to me. I will be getting this phone asap! Pre order today and get it tomorrow!

[pollosBrother]

Really? "Is it worth switching from an iphone or galaxy line"? I bet it is worse to stay on those lines and wait for the next taller iphone or the next galaxy trying to copy new iphone's features.

[rubful]

Haha 0:10 I don't think that that's an iPhone 5s

[DJaquithFL]

So yet another phone destined for obscurity on day one.
