The HTC One (E8) is the ultimate selfie smartphone. The 5MP front facing camera captures detailed selfies with numerous camera modes, and its wide angle view makes it easier to capture all the smiles of loved ones. Built-in Touch Up software enhances skin tone and optimizes facial details, and the display-side countdown timer prompts everyone to strike the perfect pose for each unique moment.
Aside from the high quality front camera, HTC One (E8) is also equipped with a 13MP high-definition main camera, allowing users to capture life-like vivid images.
Let's Music
The ultimate music enjoyment
HTC BoomSound™ technology delivers powerful, crisp and clear audio through the dual front facing stereo speakers at either side of the screen. Through HTC BoomSound™, users can experience rich tones from bass through to treble, through headphones or speakers, for a high-quality and immersive sound experience. The volume can also be pumped up to be more powerful and louder than most average smartphones.
With a 5" full HD 1080p display, and a narrow screen edge, HTC One (E8) provides a complete immersive video and audio experience.

Let's Chic
Dual curve design

Tapered sides, edge-to-edge display and a slim, lightweight unibody frame ensure that the HTC One (E8) is built to perform and designed to impress, letting users express their individuality and personality through even their smartphone.
HTC Signature smartphone features
HTC BlinkFeed™ turns the home screen into a live stream of the latest news and social updates. Users can enjoy a customized newsfeed to include the latest information in personal social networks, music, science and technology, and more.
The built in Smart Sensor Hub gives HTC One (E8) an almost sixth sense function to the phone. Intelligently designed, low-power motion sensors anticipate user needs and can activate phone functions through Motion Launch ™ controls without even turning on the screen. A simple swipe will activate the device, Auto Answer allows calls to be answered just by putting the phone to the ear, and a gentle double tap is enough to turn the lock screen on and off.
Motion controls are available even while the phone is protected within the HTC Dot View™ case. Check the time, weather, texts, emails, and call information all without touching or revealing the screen. Customized wallpapers can even be set to be displayed under the protective case.
