    Great video! I remember the HTC One (M7) was the first mobile phone that caused me to switch from the iPhone to Android. I was so enamored with the design of this phone and the speakers. I thought it was, hands down, the best looking smartphone I'd ever laid eyes on. And I believe it sill is one of the most beautiful mobile devices ever made even by 2024 standards! And the speakers back then bliew me away! And I believe they still hold their own to this day! Thank you for a nice trip down memory lane. BTW, I still have a brand spanking new M7 now in my vintage phone collection. I'll pull it out every now and then and you know what? It's still one of the best feeling handsets to hold EVER!

    My mother died young and before she died I had the HTCM8. She modeled for a photo shoot for me and she used some very beautiful dresses. Having a full manual control, the M8 was wonderful for getting all kinds of different shots at really any angle. Yes I did not like the four megapixels but, when the photos were printed, they came out amazing. Really the only time the four megapixels was a problem was when cropping in. Outside of that, she was never happier with the photos. Especially since some of them thanks to HTC being able to take full resolution photos before hitting the shutter button by cashing the photos, which mind you even modern phones, don’t do cashing with full resolution, but thanks to that, I even managed to get some sneaky shots of her , as she was making decisions on how to pose and what props to use. And because it were natural photos, since I didn’t have time to really think, they came out amazing. The camera was amazing even nowadays it still holds up as long as you don’t crock and you don’t Need to blow the image up. Let’s face it, most people don’t even print images much less print them large. If they print, it’s usually going to be a 2 x 3 or a 4 x 3. The rest of the time they put them on social media and social media is always around 3 to 4 megapixels. so all you get is a compressed kind of potato version of what the HTC gives you. HTC gives you four clean megapixels and Facebook will give you four potato pixels lol.

That cold touch in the morning feeling a solid built smooth and beautiful piece of art that happened to also offer the best available. (especially in the UI area) Especially during the era or cartoony and toy feeling Samsungs. It just FELT premium. One can only hope a modern manufacturer takes this approach and knocks it out the park! 🤞

    *The HTC One M7 is one of my favorite smartphones I'VE ever owned. Sharp LCD Display, Incredible aesthetic with the appeal of the BOOMY front-facing speakers. It would've been a top 5 ALL time in the 2010s era if:*
    - They envisioned the ultrapixel a smarter way, and used it in the FRONT instead of the back (like we see in the 10).
    - Used some way of software pixel binning and used a higher resolution count for normal daytime use, and binned down for more light/clarity at night (Sony did this back then)
    - *Heat.* I don't know about you guys, but my M7 often got so hot, I, unfortunately, had the purple fringe problem down the road.
    - Battery life was never good, only subpar, but didn't mind it with the first HTC One. It progressively got worse with its successors though..
    Other than that, man, I wish I hadn't given my phone away to a relative..I even had it S-OFF, which was hard to do lol.

    The speaker grill sound so clear for 90s. It feel like build in tweeter.

    I went to a concert and was amazed at the sound quality I got with the mics with this phone. I was a huge fan of HTC phones EVO, This, the Inspire ❤

    This phone, just like Nokia 3310, has a special place in part of my tech heart, not only because I won it as a prize, but it was a masterpiece holding it in a hand.

    It is now 2024, and I still believe that the HTC One M7 is where phone design peaked. Wish they'd revive it with new specs.

    Between iPhones, this is the only Android phone I ever loved.
    Built like a tank!
    I accidentally dropped /threw it while riding my bike... - very much like that ultimate drop / stress test that CNET did... Which is why I bought it in the first place.
    (Because I really, REALLY hated the fact that the iPhone 4S had a glass backplate.
    That backplate literally broke in the first week, when my cat pushed it off an 80cm high cabinet and it landed on the laminate flooring)...
    That M7 landed on its corner on the concrete, and it was fine.
    The display was amazing too.
    Perfect combination between size and screen resolution.
    And the camera was good (for me) - good in low light. AND the first smartphone camera I had seen that produced proper slow motion video!
    The 'blink feed' part worked a little like the message center on my Blackberry Bold 9780.
    Which is something I miss to this day.. That message center made me so much more productive..
    And the speakers were just great.
    That Beats algorithm worked very well.
    (Plus, I think they really tuned the EQ to the capabilities of the speaker cones. They went LOUD and bass-rich and clear)
    This phone was way ahead of its time.
    the curved back was both ergonomic, and - looking back with current knowledge - I think it allowed for the bigger camera sensor, having the lens a bit further away.
    so there was very little deformation near the edges of the photos and videos.

    An iconic phone design, and the first Android phone I considered buying. The designer, Scott Croyle, was snapped up by Apple after the M7 and M8.

    What a beautiful device. One of the best phones ever! I had the M8 which was pretty much the same device. An M8 video would be great! One of the first phones with more than one camera.

    I had that phone and absolutely loved it. But when the update came the camera turned purple when it was dark. But than I leant it to a family member and completely forgot about it. Told the person to take care of it but then about three or four months later I found the protective OtterBox case broken outside but no phone to be found. I was truly upset they didn’t take care of that phone.

    I got the HTC One Max and it changed the way I buy phones.
    I have never bought a phone since without stereo speakers and up until recently I made sure they were all front facing. Sadly front-facing isn't much of an option anymore with today's flagships.
    Although I've got to say the speakers on my Z Fold 2 Rock considering they are not front facing.
    Great video, it was a blast from the past!

    My HTC one m7 was my main phone and personal wifi hotspot until yesterday, from 2014-dec.2023!!!
    The battery has swelled up, and I have already found and purchased all the OEM parts to replace the battery, the silver aluminum back and the usb charging port. Hopefully I can resurrect this classic excellent phone!

    One M10 was the best HTC device. Though, m7 paved the way for everything.

    The front facing speakers and ultrapixel PAVED THE WAY..I just wish they used the 4MP for the front then find a way to use that binning technique for the back 😤😤
