Phone owned for more than a year

Usually I hardly ever give feedback to anything unless I'm super satisfied with the product or very unsatisfied, actually I have never been super satisfied with any products that I bought but today I realised that the only product that I have been super satisfied in my life is my legendary HTC One m8 which I have been using it very heavy on a daily basis for 3 years and this thing gives me nothing but excellent performance and by far greatest experience of my life amongst all the things that I have ever bought, this phone has never given me any problems at all during this 3 years and not even a frozen screen and it still performs excellent just like the first day when I bought it despite using a 64gb micro SD card after the first few months of using it and this astonishing device looks like it will last me a decade or so. Thank you HTC for making such an excellent phone in fact the best phone of all times.

Still the best

Phone owned for less than a year

after 9 months of usage i could say it's still the beast when it comes to performance, specially after it was updated to marshmallow. no hiccups even with extensive and heavy usage, but heats up pretty quick though. camera could be a bummer to some, but for me, who mostly uses pictures for viewing and social media purposes, its okay. solid-sounding speakers, nice and shiny body (own a Gold one) but kinda slippery. it could still fight with the latest flagships out there. and if i were to choose what phone am i going to use, a newer flagship or this, i'd still pick this.
