It includes the 6th version of HTC’s Sense UI, as well as a new iteration of BlinkFeed that allows users to create custom content streams based on personalized preferences.  The device also has an improved Boomsound audio amplifier for 25% louder speaker volume than the preceding HTC One.

It has two cameras in the rear with a dual flash, which the company calls “another breakthrough camera”. It will record a lot of information about depth related to scenes it captures, and that allows for advanced special effects.

A new feature known as Motion Launch is also included in M8 that enables you to start apps by using swipe gestures on the display, even when the device in standby mode.

Battery life is expected to be 40% better and it will have an “extreme power saver” functionality that will provide approximately two weeks of standby time. Thanks to a larger cell.

M8 has been re-crafted to create an even more stunning yet approachable look. The beautiful, resilient, premium quality metal unibody moves right up to the 5-inch display, tapering to thinner and more fit edges, with much softer curves for a smoother and more natural grip.
