My thoughts on the all new HTC ONE M8 (with a shout out to any Aussie viewers): HTC One M8: My Thoughts!
Happy viewing... mmmaaaattteee!
Good times. I've been waiting for a video on the M8 from you!
Making use of the wasted space affects the aspect ratio and thus video quality. So why bother?
Good video again. I just pre ordered the z2 though :-)
nice video! but "courtesy of Nokia* not LG"
+ColdFusion Kiwi viewer :-)
ColdfusTion & MKBHD make the best phone reviews.
That "wasted space" you're referring to actually contains components and connectors for the boom sound speakers (and possible other things). If it were reduced they would've had to shrink the battery to make room elsewhere for that.
The space on the phone wasn't wasted, it is required to have 2 front facing loud speakers, watch a tear down video of the phone to see what I'm talking about. Love your vids, probably my favorite on youtube overall.
The black bar is there because there are many things underneath like antennas and such. HTC commented on the black bar and said it's there for a reason, and HTC made the camera SDK public, the developers can actually do some cool stuff with it right now.
Thanks man. Just found your channel. Good production values and attention to detail. Be watching from now on.
Once you get your hands on the m8, you'll have a more positive opinion cold. The battery performance is fantastic. The feel I ultra premium. Sense is spot on. It's kills the note 3 but not in the camera aspect. Had the note 3, too cumbersome. Peace and respect!
2:44 Have you even ever seen an Amber Gold HTC One M8? It is absolutely gorgeous! I am getting one tomorrow.
It's always such a pleasure getting a notification informing me you've uploaded a new video! .. also Thanks to you I bought a note 3.
Agree
Dude you are so insanely skilled at editing and timing. I hope you land your dream job in the future.
You make every video very special and rewarding..even when it is just about one device.
Keep up the superb work mate : )
I must say that I like what HTC has been doing lately. I got the M7 and I was worried they would ruin the design for the M8 as I love the M7. I must say that they haven't and I hope they keep it similar with the M9. As good as things have become these days I don't see a need for drastically changing every year. I wish they shrink the bessels and improve the camera for the M9. Btw, great work, mate!! :-)
Had my M8 for a week now and for the must part I'm satisfied, yes the camera could have been better but that wasn't a deal breaker for me. Did add some cool features though to the camera like copy and paste. And the build quality on this phone is outstanding feels very nice in the hand also the speakers are the best I ever heard on a smartphone. Previous phones Note 2 and Nexus 5, still have my Nexus.
Finally someone who knows that specs arent important as the software
i agreed with you
Totally agree with your all your thoughts. Especially the "chin" on it and the 4MP camera. My GSIII actually just conked out on me and I'm back to my GSII as a backup but luckily I'm eligible for an upgrade in May. I was planning on waiting it out to see Motorola and LG's flagships but I think I already know what I'm looking for. Swappable battery and MicroSD are still two things I look for. LG and Moto probably won't have either, M8 has one of those, and the GS5 has both.
We've missed you.. or I have, haha ;) As per use, excellent video, unique style and a respectable opinion. Personally I don't see anything worthwhile on the HTC One, sure it's better in every way, but as you mention, it's mostly incremental upgrades.
I hope you give Oppo some more screen time, I think they're great in many ways, and I hope you visit the OnePlus One. That's actually really exciting, given the pricepoint it aims at. And the hype they're generating.
What is it people sees in Samsung devices? I bought a new 46'' Samsung Flatscreen TV, because I like their TV products :) No SmartTV please, because I have an Apple TV that's way smarter than build-in SmartTV in TV's :) But Smartphones and Tablets? They lack in user experiences because it feels like they're only focusing on features. It looks a little bit better on the Galaxy S5. But as a person who really thinks about how a product should look like rather than what it can, I would never buy a Samsung smartphone simply because it ain't pretty. HTC made some good looking phones as well for the M8. You know I'm a big fan of the Moto X and the Moto G. Sony's smartphones looks okay, I can go with that. But Samsung and LG (Except for Nexus 4 & 5) - urgh :P
I personally rockin galaxy s3, of course rooted and running CM11 KIT KAT 4.4. I'm strongly considering if I really need an update of my 2 years phone. I learned one thing when I bought s3 my best smartphone to date. You only need nice hardware such as like with the PC the rest you can do by yourself of course if you running android phone. Make it new again, boost new life in it. Second world of custom roms kernels side loading of apps etc, is awesome. Good Video!!
Samsung presented the super energy saving mode first.
And the blank spot where the capacitive buttons used to be on the m7 is used for antenas on the m8, so this space isnt wasted.
Anyways the HTC M8 would be perfect, if it wasnt for the camera.
Great review and background info as usual. However, iso cell camera in the S5 is a significant improvement and you do need more processor power for 4k video and future applications. I doubt any space is wasted on the m8 and it is certainly finely engineered mobile.
I prefer the design of the M7 so much more...
lol
No you don't.
Patrick Crawford Yes I do.
YES you bitch
WHY DON'T YOU JUST SHUT THAT SHIT UP AND GET OUT BOY!
I have the M8 myself, and I must say that it is the best Android experience I've ever had. I came from a Galaxy S4 and quite frankly, I didn't realize how much the built quality matters. Samsung phones just don't look as appealing as some of these other flagships. Furthermore, HTC is much better with software. Sense blows TouchWiz away in both the appearance and functionality departments. The only area Samsung has HTC beat in is the camera. I wish HTC would spend more time into developing the perfect camera. I actually think the "ultrapixel" camera is a good idea, as it takes great photos by taking in more light. They just need to increase pixel count next time.
Honest review great. At least one is bothering about the space wasted on bottom. it makes the device ugly. Double tap courtesy to N9 not g2.
This and the previous one, have to be the most praised and awarded yet undersold phone. Makes no sense. As soon as htc drop that front logo and make the screen take up the entire gloss black bit on the front then i will be buying one.
Great video once again Coldfustion as always.
Cheers Nate,
Thanks for stopping by!
man your videos are amazing, please can you make like a flash back review for the mighty HTC HD2 just to let people know how innovative HTC is.
Love the dogs at the end of the video🎭
Very good video as there are so many people who thought specs is everything, MP is everything but they have very little knowledge on how tech works. I have been with the S and the HTC. S has real good specs but it just feels cheap. Furthermore, these phone are build to last only for a year. Now I have a M7, it does have defects at first but I still like HTC as they are going back to the right path.
Your videos are always so damn beautiful. Damn.
Such a great phone, would recommend it.
You know, I've heard that the One series (not from 2012, but 2013 and 2014) is a big improvement from their old phones, but they completely blew it with the last two phones I've had (EVO Shift and EVO 4G LTE).
Simply superb video editing!
Hey coldfustion, love ya vids and am an Aussie myself, loved the reference :P and on the topic of that chinbar, they needed that length to fit the bigger battery in it :) great vid!
Hey mate !! Great Vid. I have always been a fan of your stuff and especially youd Voice :D keep up the good work
Great videos!!! Love your unique style of editing
Cheers man, glad you're having a good time watching!
I agree with you!
I have a rooted galaxy s3 with cyanogenmod 11 and its the best thing ever.
Song at 4:00? My lord you have amazing music in your videos and I know you always have a track list but it's so hard to find the one at the specific time :D Great videos you inspire me!
Ill take note 4....or s5..I use to be with htc...lets c how they last...samsung is like a lexus..reliable ' luxurious' top of the line...everybody else is just trying to get where they at...but wont happen anytime soon...had my note 3 since release. ..still blazing fast still top shelf
Sad part is that this phone will be overlooked by most of the consumers because of Samsung.
I own the HTC One M7.
I kept telling the people that were looking for new phones to have a look at the HTC One and most scuffed at the idea as HTC had a bad rep.
So most got their new Galaxies and just the other day one of these people worked with my phone and the were blown away.
You are my best man on the youtube
Your officially my favorite youtuber !!!
Too kind man!
Hey mate, firstly love your work!
Just noting that I took the plunge and updated from the m7 to the m8: while the first was the best phone I had ever used this phone is just better in every sense. And for the camera, it can really replace my mini dslr: the app gives you manual controls (for example I am able to take night shots with a 4second shutter speed (the quality is unbelievable!) Anyway get your hands on a device and check it out- I bet ya you would love it!
Hey thanks Marlon.
I think I should, it comes to Australia later this month so it could be soon.
I really loved the M7 so if the M8 even just is an improved M7 i'd be happy.
Cheers for the comment!
No worries mate. Also, I'm from Melbourne and I got mine from Telstra on 1 April (outright as well): it should be in-store in other states as well I would have thought?
Anyway, keep up the great work! It's a treat to watch your work.
Marlon Rodrigo Hmm I went into allphones last week and they said it'd be later this month and they weren't sure when. Lovely Perth I guess. I should really try other stores haha.
Thanks for watching
Only had the phone for a day but loving it so far
I agree bro, I am okay with my note 3, I like its SOC!! But then again I would like the htc one m8 build quality and htc sense over samsungs touch wiz anyday!!. Just waiting for the k1 soc with the 64bit cpu :P
I just got this phone and i'm really enjoying it :)
How's the M8 in your opinion im thinking about upgrading from a Iphone5 to the M8
A right smack-up job, as always, M8!!!! :-)
Them dogs at the end! "Ma-ma-mate!
MKBHD and Coldfustion 4 life!!!!!!!!
I will be getting the HTC One M8 next month!!
Great video! And THANK YOU sweet jesus for bringing up that wasted fat space at the bottom. FINALLY someone with some sense (no pun intended).
Cheers mate!
ColdfusTion apperantly HTC came out and said they just strait up needed more space to fit everything and that's why that space is there. I have this phone and it doesn't bother me much.
Great job on this video my brother!!
Ma ma Mate!! Excellent review as usual!
love your videos cold!
1.The black bar on the bottom is not a waste of space as you can see in this teardown goo.gl/FZCVO2 It's for the speaker components. They could have gone with the old capacitive buttons, but I'm happier with the on-screen keys.
2.Despite G2 is one of the first to feature tap to wake(knock-on), it's not "Courtesy of LG"
3.IMHO Kitkat might bring a better experience to lower-end devices, but ram is still a very crucial element to the user experience these days.
Great video nonetheless as always sir!
When i saw coldfustion and "my thoughts" about the m8 i clicked in the millisecond :D
You should do a video of how HTC company went down in more details nd where they right now
HTC One M8 phone is best of the year (2014) must be get award
Great video, as always!
You should do a video of how HTC company went down in more details nd where they at right now
I thought the original One sold better than the S4. Hmm, maybe I just saw which phone people "preferred" in comparison.
Same here when i tell people i have the HTC one m8 everyone goes mate!
Have you even used these phones? You can't call it a review if you're just putting videos from other channels and regurgitating information you've read elsewhere.
I think phones are getting a bit too big. After playing arround for two weeks I use only texting calling and ocassional stuff like navigation google search. Dont need that much of screen estate for that.
You make this phone look so sweet. I'm still a samsung gal though :)
What do you think about the Oneplus One phone?
SWEET MORE OF YOUR MAGIC TO MAKE ME NOT SLEEP!
Dude...you're in a class of your own and your vids are classy. Where do u get that background music from. I likey. Thanks.
CHVRCHES remixed at the end. Nice touch.
It's an awesome remix by *Moon Boots.* Check it out! CHVRCHES - The Mother We Share (Moon Boots Remix)
Nice video once again - very precise and no nonsense. My question is, would you recommend this phone over HTC One M7 or is it a worthy upgrade from the previous HTC One.
Dude .. I love my HTC one (m7) and I would go for m8 if I had the money .. it's more stable and less buggy than Samsung phones I feel
Vinayaka Shreedhar I love my HTC One (M7) too :-)
Just wanted to know if M8 is a worthy upgrade.
Amazing review like always.. 🍻🍺☺😊
And my thoughts on this device ... I think it's the best oem's skin to date... It's a beast.
As of now I would have to say that the M8 is the all around & overall greatest smartphone I have ever used. Other than sound quality and OEM skin it isn't really the best at any one thing but it is near the best in virtually everything, including the display quality where it ties the G2 as the best I've seen yet. The M8 when taken as a whole package cannot be touched by any of the competition now or any of the competition in the short to mid range future. I think the only phone that has a chance to top it in 2014 is the G3 and even at that I don't give the G3 that much of a chance. So, in closing, like MC Hammer said-'you can't touch this' 😁
Mark Long lol. good morning... yep I've got loads of faith in LG...and hello too.
I've had every Samsung flagship since the S2 and am totally burnt out on Samsung and their horrible Touchwiz overlay. Until a complete overhaul with all new code being written for Touchwiz or an outright abandonment and better build materials I will never own one again so I don't really even consider them when thinking of potential best phones. They make best sellers but they fall well short of making the best phones in my opinion. That said, it is, of course, entirely subjective so the best for one may be sh#t to another. I've also gave up on Amoled displays.
Mark Long so you got the M8?
Love your Channel! If you had to choose between Paranoid Android or Cyanogen, which do you prefer? Would you ever consider a comparison video? All the best!
coldfustion how come you don't have the phone yet? Don't get me wrong. I love your videos and the effort to produce such entertaining reviews is exemplary. But how can you recommend the m8 over the s5 when you haven't had any time with it.
You need to have the device to really appreciate what HTC had done with it.
Great video man !
M-m-m8!
Awesome video!!
Your video reviews are awesome ...., whats the best HTC One or HTC M8 ?
Would love to test your VOXIS UI!
It's a great phone I don't think it's better then the gs5 the best phone this year will be the galaxy note 4 it's the best all around phone and most featured packed phone ever just like the note 3 is now
So with the new Android OS, I should be able to sit on my Note 2 for another year? That's awesome! I have not seen anything yet that makes me really want to pay for a new phone yet.
I would say it would run a lot better on kit kat, It definitely holds it's own until the Note 4.
"You are watching cold-fused-chin"
So just for clarification, is this an s version of the m7 in your opinion? Great vid as always
Cheers Matt
Yep, It is an "S" version of the M7 to a degree just not as blatantly as the S5.
Good job!!
very informative !
Im still happy with my htc one m7. Its still powerfull enough
M8 indeed the htc logo infront is really epic fail. Thats why im waiting for m9 maybe they will get rid that black bar htc logo. So stupid
nice one MATE
Maybe I'm too nit picky, but the top lock button kills it for me. If I can't reach the top of my nexus 5 when it's in position to type, I sure as hell won't be able to reach it on the much taller One M8. The knock is great to unlock it, but there's no knock to lock it is there?
You can lock and unlock the M8, Z2, and G2 by a double tap in the same spot of the display.
Disappointing to see that you think double tap came from LG. Nokia has been using that technology for quite some time and definitely deserve the credit for it.
I've heard rumors of a Google Nexus 6. Is that a thing?
Do a rise and fall of HTC
hey can you review Desire 816 g , desire eye, Xperia c3 and T2 ultra
Mmmaamammate!! Lol... I didnt know you are australian, i didnt think i heard your accent on your videos... Anyway, great one as always... My thoughts, mamamate is not bad but not good enough for samsung upgrader... I think they'll stay with samsung... Good Job Mmamamate... Lol!
Any word on when voxis is gonna hit the market ?
More videos please! :D
I love you
That was a great video
I consider both this and the S5 downgrades from their last iteration... portability is the no1 important feature in an android phone and these two sacrifice all of it for useless peripherals. last generation androids were already too big. the M8 basically has no extra screen relative to the M7 if you subtract the on-screen nav button area.
Should i upgrade?? I have the htc onee._.
Am waiting for note 4, you got any news on that yet
I've had this phone for about a week now and tbh I regret getting it.
I mean why they aren't selling because they seem good
They ARE good. They aren't selling because of the reasons I first mentioned.
Poor advertising and average batteries. The M8 is shaping up to be the phone that does everything right for HTC.
