The HTC One M9 has only just landed, and already there’s another HTC handset to choose from. The HTC One M8s takes last year’s flagship and gives it a minor refresh, with new cameras, a nippier processor and slightly bigger battery.
Instead of the UltraPixel rear snapper on the standard One M8, the M8s has a 13-megapixel shooter on the back, with the UltraPixel tech moved to the front-facer. Which should make for great low-light selfies.
It’s slightly faster too, with a 1.7GHz 615 octa-core chip , and the battery is a 2,840mAh jobby, instead of the 2,600mAh of its predecessor. Hence it should last a bit longer before needing a recharge.
So, slight improvements, but cosmetically the phone is the same. It has the same aluminium unibody – no bad thing, as the One M8 was one of the most dapper handsets of last year – and same 5-inch 1080p screen. You get Android 5.0 Lollipop out of the box, so you won’t have to upgrade the software to get the latest features.
It runs HTC’s Sense 6 UI, instead of Sense 7 as seen on the One M9. You can’t have everything.
The One M8s goes on sale in early April for £379 SIM free.
