Good job throwing the ad in there. I didn't even realized a was watching a add until you mentioned dollar shave.

Kevin was filling in for you.
Jon I'm really contemplating on getting the M8 would u say that the m8 is a upgrade if I'm coming from an iPhone5...what your personal opinion on the m8
Awesome Jon, thanks for the shout! Totally agree with everything you said! And the ad...effing AWESOME!
Haha no problem. Loved your review today! Thanks for the kind words too!
I watched it just for the ad

That little skit at the end was awesome! Thats how ads should be lol
Great video Jon! You nailed 4 of my 5 favorite features!
I saw your tweet!
Thanks for the support guys! My Galaxy S5 unboxing and demo just went live if anyone's interested! Samsung Galaxy S5 Unboxing + Detailed Demo!
hey which 64GB micro SD card would you prefer for m8?
I am planning to trade my galaxy s4 with m8, will that be a good idea ? *****
Nitish Mehta yes any day
LOL, the advertisement impressed me the most :))
That's a good thing I suppose haha
Syed Ariff any idea when this is out in Malaysia? Can't wait..
yoska de jong Probably in late April. I'm so psyched for it too man! One of the best Android phones ever made!
Yup! Late April huh, and no idea how much.. I know this guy who has a few already form Europe and is selling it at 2999, haha crazy
BEST AD TRANSITION EVER
Agreed!
That was by far the most amazing ad Segway, and ad itself, at the end! I actually watched the whole thing! :D
Woo! :D
Epic ad placement. Flawless
Stellar breakdown of *****'s top 5 HTC One M8 features. Well worth a watch, top notch stuff!
Thanks a bunch man! :)
***** y Welcome as always man!

best ad insert ever... seamless from end of video to beginning of ad! very nice
Glad to hear that!
Thanks Jonathan for letting me help make the spot in this video. I loved it
No problem man. Thanks again! You're a star haha
***** LOL.... I wouldn't go that far
Best ad placement ever :)
Attention Jonathon Morrison I have discovered something very important about this camera that people need to know and especially you reviewers. There is a supposed protective film that comes on the main camera lens. It's really prone to scratching however it can be removed but most importantly once removed it increases the resolution dramatically. We've been discussing this in the HTC M8 group on Google social. Everyone that's removed it says the same thing. It makes it look just as good as the s5 mega pixel shooter. It normally cast a slight haze that's very notice when it's removed. My lens looked really scratched after using alcohol some use toothpaste or nail polish remover and with a little elbow grease you can see it come off. As I say the effects are irrefutable and this needs a video. Thanks Chris Enlightened.
I have to say, this has got to be the best mini-review of the new HTC M8 that I've seen. It's informative, interesting, features quality picture/video examples to see what this device really brings, and more. A very stellar presentation, liked the razor ad at the end, well done to everyone that contributed to this video from TLD !
Thanks so much dude!
Just got the phone today and this helped me big time.
Woah, I've never seen bomb sound in action till that. That's an amazing speaker!
It is!
I picked up the M8 on launch day, I was a long time Samsung fan...since the Galaxy Epic.
All the features you mentioned were the main reason I made the switch, I would of made it last year with the M7 but didn't due to the lack of expandable memory, so this year it was a no brainer.... But one of my favorite features was the motion launch features...especially the double tap, it definitely makes turning the phone on easier then reaching for the horribly placed wake button.
Nice video once again...can't wait for the full review.
***** I watch a lot of videos too and its only overheated once, it did get hot but to be honest it wasn't any different from when my Galaxy devices did it.
The device is prefect for media consumption, especially with the Boom Sound speakers, no other device comes close.
***** I also sold my Note 3 to get the M8. The Note 3 is one of the best phones out, the only reason I switched was for the boom sound speakers and I like the narrower feel of the M8. I do miss my Notes display size sometimes though.
***** Nice 👍
Note 3 was a beast just too big for my hands.
I personally own an HTC One m8 and is a guaranteed awesome phone. I don't really have an issue with the lock screen button and the boom sound is killer!! HTC has come out on top this year.
Just picked this phone up. First HTC experience and very impressed! I do find myself lookin' for the power button near the volume rocker, but I'm training myself to use the motion gesture. Also, the speakers on this phone are amazing! People usually wish they could turn the volume up when playing music through the phones speakers. I've found myself turning the volume down, because its so loud and crystal clear.
BTW, thanks for the review!
I agree with you buddy on the sleep button/"Power Button" placement. Volume Down spot is where it should. You make very excellent videos. I love the extreme attention to detail you take in all that you do. Much better than all the rest of the tech community doing videos.
Keep up the good work Jon.
I have to admit that was a really good intro to your sponsor :o Also, great video and sound quality is great too as always hehe.
Appreciate that!
Great video! Nice explanation of the best new features. Keep it up!
Thanks Matt!
I'm subbed to you.....
More RUclipsrs and just ads in general should show ads they way you guys did. That was actually awesome haha. Didn't even know until you mentioned the brand.
This is literally like the best video with the best way to present ad!
I use an iPhone as my "daily driver" so when I got the HTC One M8, it was easy for me to find the sleep/wake button as it is in a familiar position where my hand instinctively goes to.
even from the 5s it was a little awkward to me but that's why I like hearing different opinions!
perhaps its because its harder to reach up to the top of a much larger phone
I got the M8 last week, and I actually am not having issues getting the sleep/wake button, but it could definitely be placed better next time. Still love the phone though!
I love the sleep/awake button placement, since you can awake the phone with motion launch, it does not really matter where the button is, furthermore when im driving and my phone is in cup holder or the special phone stand in my car, having the button on top actually have sense... I can easily activate my phone and quickly check wheather I have any new notifications or not. In any other situation, I use motion launch to awake the phone screen.
Haha I love your transition from talking about M8 to BBall to Dollar Shave Club
best dollar shave club plug ever.
:)
That advert was actually amazing haha!
I got this phone a week or so ago and I'm loving it so far. My take on the reasoning for the sleep/wake button placement is where it is comes from the Ir reader located directly behind the button itself. It bothers me a little as well, but If it didn't have the power button there, 3rd party accessories and cases would cover the ir reader up and would hinder the use of that feature, which I'm really enjoying btw.
who is still using this awesome phone today in 2017?
me in 2019
Thanks for the impressions, I really appreciated the camera demo. It really shows what we can do with the camera. No other impressions have shown the amount of things we can do on the camera. I thank you for that! (:
I loved everything about HTC one (2013 edition) (the best of the best build quality, the great hardware and so on) but I had one problem, expandability (it wasn't a huge issue, but I would have like the option to expand if necessary) and now on that they have added that on the M8, I believe its pretty much complete (plus, most of the new feature that comes with it), I would not hesitate (if I had the check) on buying one.
And I should mention how greatly done this video was, very nice job. Truly appreciate you highlighting and explaining the best new features on the HTC One M8, and I am looking forward to seeing your full review on it.
Thanks so much for the detailed feedback man :)
***** Anytime, man :) I had to post one because of how greatly done your video was.
***** that's the way every RUclipsr should display their sponsors. That was awesome great video *****
Glad you enjoyed it!
Ahaha that sketch at the end was amazing! Mike and Kevin did an excellent job! :)
They did! Thanks dude!
The TLD videos always provide something extra that others just can't.
The skit at the end should be how all adds on RUclips channels should be! :D great video, might consider getting the One M8
Just a note, top camera is a 2MP depth sensor, bottom camera is the 4 "UltraPixel" camera, but otherwise great job on this. Also, can't help but agree with you on the power button placement, it drives me up the wall sometimes!
I love my M8. The speakers are great for media and Sense is surprisingly tasteful for a skin. I totally couldn't live without the motion launch gestures, as the power button is indeed in an awkward position. I just wish you could double tap to power on in any orientation, like when it's flat on the table.
I also can't help just admiring the fit and finish of this phone. The gray version is so unique and striking.
Sometimes I have to triple check to see if I have it in my pocket cuz its so slim and with no edges is hard to notice.😊
I am very impressed with your advertisement... Great video...
Best Ad placement EVER!
:)
Finally, a reviewer saying something positive about the m8's camera. I want this phone to accompany my 5s 👌
I agree with you guys on the placement of the lock button. I keep clicking the volume keys when trying to unlock it.
Awesome job on explaining the camera features! Thank you for the examples for us visual learners.
The placement of the Sleep/Wake button is actually something I don't mind, since I will be coming to the M8 from an iPhone 5 (which I still love as a device.)
Thanks for the input!
I had the M8, currently I have the note 5 and although I love the note 5 the one thing I miss about the M8 is the camera features.
I have an M7, i can't wait to make the up grade to the M8
The HTC One M8 is a great phone. I been using it for close to two months and it's great.
The dog's name is Big Mac. HOW CUTE. Great review by the way! I am seriously considering this phone over the GS5.
I got my M8 yesterday. I got gold, and my friend got gunmetal grey which looks better in my opinion.
I AGREE with your thoughts about the sleep/wake button placement.
I Will probably bee using motion launch a decent amount.
It Would probably be annoying for someone who doesn't want to use motion launch and has small hands.
That ad was amazing =)) Adv student right here so yeah
I'm an iPhone user, but I plan on switching the M8 once my contract need to be renewed. That being said, I think the power button on the top of the M8 will be a pretty easy pick up for me :)
Just did the trade in with htc. I cant wait for it to get here!!
Really nice video best one iv seen on this phone, any chance you could do an episode on the best gaming laptop out currently
Fantastic and creative combination between your main video and the ad haha, like it (y)
Power button alignment is on perfect place, I like it when it's on top , easy to access
the ad was just gold XD
K. That was probably the best Sponsor sections of a video I have seen.
Haha love how you worked the sponsor into the video. very creative :)
:)
I am really fine with the placement of the power button on the M8. I only use it to power off the phone. The notion launch justifies the placement of power button.
Htc one m9 with 8 ultrapixel camera that takes good shots with power button and sd card location switched = perfect phone?
and with htc sense 6.5
When does the m9 come out?
i guess february or march
Owismael I have a HTC one but wanted to upgrade so I'll wait until the HTC m9 to get the sexy beast that is the one+one
Frank Shang No because HTC will get hated by everyone, thinking they copied apple
Nice video, and cute shave club skit! I'm seriously considering the M8 at this point, especially with that storage expandability and boom sound.
Haha that was nice how you integrated that commercial in there
Haha great transition into the ad!
I consider you the best tech youtuber, nice video John!
Lotta amazing company but thank you!
Thanks for the update, everything you've said in your review is spot on. I'm at 24hrs with my new M8 and loving it! I've had every generation of iphone and over the years I've tried to switch to android multiple times and have always been disappointed until now. It always seems as though android phones come across as cheap and unreliable while Apple always came across (although a very restricted OS) well finished and stable, especially for business use. HTC almost had me with the M7 if it would've had expandable memory. I do wish the M8 had a 64gig option as I've always preferred built in storage over micro sd from a performance standpoint. Anyways great review. Thanks again.
Haha that commercial/ skit at the end was great! No hate here!
Glad to hear that! Thanks!
Really nice video, and thumbs up for the smooth transition into the ad.
I've got one yay watching this on my htc
You are awesome and please bring more videos. Looking forward seeing you more often on RUclips
Thanks a bunch! That means a lot :D
You put so much quality in your productions! Enjoyed watching the whole video!I hope that one day I will reach your level!Keep it up!
I work at T-Mobile and I can't wait for the launch of this beast! Hopefully its not too overshadowed by the S5 :/
Doing ad in the video like this is awesome, enjoing watching the ad that way.
this is random but is an electric razr from like bruan or phillips worth the couple hundred dollars over manual razrs? (since ur ad was about shaving LOL)
I've never owned a crazy razor like that haha.
What camera is he using to record this video?
Thanks Jonathan for the great video, looking forward for more to come!! Got to test the Samsung Galaxy S5 today with the Gear Fit, excited to see how the two phones matchup!
Awesome video with cool Ad... Thats why you are one of the best tech channel in RUclips...
Haha that home made advertisement was epic
Awesome video Jonathan, I love the ad in the end ( it's kind of weird saying an ad is awesome but yeah)
I got this phone the day it came out. The reason why i like HTC, especially the M8, is because of the design in the hardware and the software. The best example would be for me, the text message UI for the samsung galaxy models which i think is tacky compared to how HTC makes it look. Plus all the fonts and the setting menu, it just looks minimalistic and modern and simple. And the body design is fantastic as well. HTC is literally amaazing
In re the sleep button position: I'll move on to the M8 from using a HTC One X, so it's currently placed where I'm used to (I had the One X for 2 years), but I have sometimes wished it was placed on either side of the phone just because it would be easier to get to if holding it with one hand. Like, say, when you're pulling it out of your pocket (I have small hands and the phone is quite sizable, so to unlock it without risk of clumsily dropping the phone, I have to hold with one hand and unlock with the other. Hoping this motion sense helps).
Nice sketch! Great video!
:D
I recently got the HTC One (M8) and the power button isn't all that bad as far as placement. I have longer fingers so to me it is more comfortable and not as cumbersome as I thought it would be.
No. It works great. The keyboard needs some calibration (I don't know how) but overall, I love this phone
It's good for me. The back camera is 4 super-megapixels, whatever that means, but it is very clear and has bad ass effects. I like the fact that the front facing camera is 5 megapixels which is higher than the iPhone and the new Galaxy S5
It's all good. The games are clear and the load time is great but with the phone being a Uni-body phone and metal it gets a bit warm.
No problem, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do
Agree with the sleep/wake button, really annoying on the M7 but a ROM fixed that problem for me
Of course they used iPhones at the end :v that made my day. Nice video. Again
Awesome video, great Explanation. Well made and top notch quality. Keep up the great work.
Thank you!
Nice video man! You did a good job with the details of these features. Looking forward to your review!
Thank you!
I just upgraded from an iPhone 4s so the sleepwake button feels natural to me.
Everybody's gotta put this much thought into mentioning their sponsors!!
most entertaining phone review ever
The shave club skit was hilarious.
why nobody mention slo-mo video capture which is one of the coolest feats. i own m8 and its a really good phone
Dany brought me here. Great review
Thanks :)
Thanks for sharing this video. I have a htc one m8 too& didn't know I can use some useful tips. Thanks
Based on you and DetroitBORG's videos I just had to order one of these bad boys for myself. I love my Note 3, but I never use the pen and find myself wanting to downsize a bit.
Nice! You'll dig it.
I like the way you did add the DollarShave video into it... Enjoyed the video. Hopefully Carmelo will join the Bulls next season... I'm sure you'll find joy in that..
Let's hope haha. Thanks!
I've got the new HTC one m8 and I really don't see anything wrong with the placement of the sleep wake button or really any major flaws at all
Thanks for the input!
