I've had the EVO 4g, EVO 3D(Still do), EVO 4G LTE, M8 Harman Kardon edition (still do) M10, U11 both still do. I wish a lot of the phone critics that wrote reviews about these phones, especially the M8 hadn't been monetarily swayed by Samsung and Apple. Cause it definitely seemed to me to be that way. HTC innovated so much but was taken to court over its innovative technology. The M8, in my opinion, frightened the two soon to be biggest monopoly in the phone business, shoes, they tried to delay HTC releases of the EVO 4g lte and the M8. Read numerous articles about about this and had to wait for both of them to own. I'd have to say that the M8 is one of the greatest built phones ever, slim, front facing SPEAKERS with great quality sound , IR blaster. What the critics did to HTC's rep was wrong it's the reason I now own an LG phone, I refuse to buy a Samsung phone and Apple never even entered my mind.

    Just found a M9 (never used) for bit over $120.
    Gonna buy it just to watch videos and enjoy front speakers.

    HTC plans to start selling phones again in South Korea.
    Finances are slowly improving year by year.

        I would like to see Apple, Samsung, Google, etc to use more cameras in order to capture depth more accurately. For example two main cameras (actually, the S21 does have two main cameras) or two tele cameras. I am a bit surprised that Google allegedly uses the Gn1 dual pixel sensor as there are quad pixel sensors and "dual pixel pro" sensors available, which should measure depth more accurately.

          The last line is true. I was actually a fan of HTC and now I only buy google phones.

            As someone who had the M7, I definitely wish I could have benefitted from the battery life gains of the M8. The multi-camera aspect didn't bother me, but it's interesting that a feature that became ubiquitous (and then out of hand) within a few years would start on an HTC that wasn't a big commercial hit and didn't reverse their downward spiral.

              Had the HTC One M8 Eye. Dumped it after 2 years because, well, 16GB of internal storage is simply not enough. MicroSD was good for photos but I just couldn't install the apps I needed in 16GB. But damn, it was a superbly built device, felt so good in the hand. The face swapping thing in its camera app was also funny

                  The galaxy S3, which I owned before this one was taking better photos in every situation. I don't remember liking this phone for anything besides the metal look and feel.

                    Refurbished unit,mint condition,EU model(16GB).Paid $90,including customs fees and tax, It'ss worth that, definitely, even though is kinda joke today, with that "camera witchcraft".But hey,nice trip down the memory lane...👍

                        I loved this phone when it was released, my first contract phone when I worked at Phones 4 U. Loved the design and loved the brand.

                              Not bad phone. But I picked Sony Xperia Z3 instead. It was a wonderful phone. Now I still use Samsung Galaxy S6 edge. It is good too.
