"  President of HTC America Jason MacKenzie showcases the new HTC One M8 at an event in New York City. Today HTC announced its new smartphone, the HTC One. This top-tier smartphone, also punctuated with M8 to differentiate from previous models, keeps the familiar look and feel of the popular M7 while adding a couple of new features and improved performance. The M8&amp;#039;s screen measures to about 5 inches; it also features 1080p display, Qualcomm&amp;#039;s new 801 processor (also appearing in Samsung&amp;#039;s new Galaxy S5), and microSD slot for expandable storage. The device&amp;#039;s body is now more than 90 percent metal, dropping the polycarbonate siding on the previous model. &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;re known for pushing the boundaries on finishes,&amp;quot; HTC&amp;#039;s Jonah Becker says. &amp;quot;The result is more akin to jewelry.&amp;quot;\u2028 \u2028The HTC One M8 will be the first phone to flaunt Sense 6.0, which HTC called &amp;quot;Sixth Sense&amp;quot; throughout the press conference, and completely overlays the Android 4.4.2 OS behind it. HTC described the improved user interface as having more open space and color, while also allowing for personal customization with color and graphic themes. Also, Blinkfeed\u2014HTC&amp;#039;s Flipboard-style reader\u2014returns with a few new partners in tow, most notably FourSquare and Fitbit. These services will deliver updates and new information, whether on local lunch specials or how many calories you&amp;#039;re burning, straight to Blinkfeed. \u2028The M7 did so many things right the first time around that HTC stuck with a similar formula and added performance. The M8 also comes with dual, front-firing speakers, which the company describes as 25 percent louder, and the 2600mAh battery last 40 percent longer. Battery life also gets a boost with the new Extreme Power Saving Mode for those dire situations when you and your phone are stranded without a nearby charging cable.\u2028 \u2028This time around the OEM decided to slap on a dual lens camera on the back to capture depth information for every photo. This means a collection of new features opens up for photo enthusiasts, including selecting focus and blur points even after the photo is taken.\u2028 \u2028Depending on which retailer you&amp;#039;re tied to, the HTC One M8 will run on contract around $199 to $249, competitive with the Galaxy S5. Starting a 1 p.m. ET today, you can order the M8 from AT&amp;amp;amp;T, Sprint, and Verizon (it&amp;#039;s also available in-store starting today with Verizon).\u2028 \u2028We&amp;#039;ll have a full review of the HTC One M8 in the coming days.
