Rumor hints at HTC M8 Eye Android smartphone with 13MP Duo Camera

I hope they keep the dimensions of the standard M8 with a 5.2" screen. I love my m8 but the bottom bezel is abit too big. The camera I love it, just put the sharpness and exposure to -1 and its a beast. I get a lot of compliment about it.

Should up the battery capacity, ram and trim down the bezel.

Good. Only thing holding me back was camera.

I hope HTC doesn't release a bad example of a 13MP camera and is up there with the best flagships. It's not just about megapixel count but also good optics.

Let us hope with a name like "Eye" that this new camera/sensor is similar to the OIS 13MP unit LG uses in the G3, i.e. something high quality.

Oh please do it HTC. But please also make it a better sensor/optics than the E8.

I hope htc doesn't betray themselves, they put a crap 13mp camera on the E8 to prove their ultragimmickpixel point.

HTC leave the camera department alone, focus on reducing bezels , then its a perfect device, imo

the only reason i did not buy the m8 is because of the dodgy camera,
I would like to see a new m8 with the new sony camera sensor, 5.5" screen in same body as now, upgraded processor to 2.8Ghz. and some waterproofing.

lovely phone but was hampered again by the camera and marketing.

sort it out htc and i might return, the last awesome htc i had was the htc desire.

What the M8 should of have been. All we need now is a 2.5GHz processor found on the M8x and less bezels.

HTC nails it all except
1 camera
2 stupid large chin bezel
3 repair ability (imaging screen crack or battery die. Alluja it is a bitch to replace.)

The HTC One M8 Is one of the best product in the market , It has a beautifull design and great display and a fresh using interface , do not forget the power of course! The only thing that bothers me is the rear camera which is not a very good camera , at least when it comes next to it's competitors . But looks like this new phone is going to be better than the One M8 , but just in camera i guess ! Oh , " One More Thing ... " , I hope htc make Those bezels slimmer . And put that power bottom On the side not on top.

The thumbnail pic at the top of this page (the referral thumb from the home page) makes this phone look like a washing machine.

Here's hoping for a better camera sensor with smaller bezels and louder speakers, Then HTC can have my money.

I think it's a little late...

I will be one of the first to buy that phone..

Wish they would ditch the duo camera and use a camera with optical zoom and hardware IS instead. Love my M7 (except for the camera).

The fact that HTC couldn't see the actual picture quality form the One(M7) and repeated the same thing with the One(M8) is just mind boggling. I really think HTC can set the record straight with this one. Isn't that basically what Apple did with the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus cameras? Increase the size of the pixels while having enough of those bigger pixels to grab more light?

i expect three things to come in this new release and if they do this ,then this phone is going to be a phone with almost everything perfect.
1)go with a higher resolution sensor like the new IMX214 13mp sony sensor that is found in one plus one or the 16mp sensor that is found on note 4 with OIS as compulsory.
2)higher up the battery capacity so that it could come near to the battery performance of z3 or z3 compact.
3)reduce the size of bezels on top and bottom,the phone is not very wide but it's very lengthy for it's size.i would recommend htc to go with capacitive buttons like on htc one m7 instead of on screen buttons so that they could reduce the phone's length almost an inch lesser and have space to keep their sound drivers inside .
