[@AndroidAuthority]

*Android Weekly: HTC One (M8), Facebook buys Oculus, Powered by Android, and more:* goo.gl/ETjo2R #ANDROIDWEEKLY by: *****

[@muhammadriaz9073]

We in Pakistan anxiously waiting... When this model M8, will Be marketed in Pakistan and at what price?????

[@Oni4Life99]

Nothing.

[@ZachYauch]

Wow, that was terrible. It would be easy to infer the HTC M8 is just a shitty phone with a terrible back camera for narcissistic people who like to take selfies. 

[@robbybred5702]

good for nothing

[@reaper352c5]

Who cares about the camera if that is all you don't like about the phone that is no reason to dismiss it i have checked out the specs and for a techie guy who likes speed and performance its awesome

[@joelg7565]

Was that a waterbug?? 1:07

[@jmoon2454]

Josh, I have the HTC One (m7) and getting ready to upgrade. People keep telling me to go with the Note 3. But I love the HTC One (m8). Can you guys do a comparison between the Note 3 and M8? I especially need to now about the cameras, since in my job part of my responsibility is taking pictures. And when it comes to my personal life, my phone captures my story everyday. That's why for me the most important thing is the camera. Thank you for your time.

[@lancelindlelee7256]

Upgrade to the HTC M9. Seriously, you don't need to upgrade every year. The best camera would go to the Lumia 1020 though. Sony Z2 for Androids Both are great devices.

[@AdirFeijo]

Great video as always Jayce!

[@MisterWhatWhat]

Loving the Lynda plug

[@JaYPATELjappa2409]

i am using nexus 5 and i would like to ask you that changing rom like cm, paranoid, or omni is safe or does harm my nexus.

[@urlavmahida647]

[@isaahyar]

Hey, can you explain about camera sensors in smartphones nowadays. It will be really useful for us as consumers to choose smartphones with great cameras to take nice pictures

[@Kinglew23]

I rarely watch phone reviews because it brings on all types of back n fourth but your vids r refreshing I luv your presentation and humor keep going my friend your a breath of fresh reviews

[@JayceBroda]

I don't do reviews. It's news and Q&A.

[@Kinglew23]

***** well whatever u call it its damn awesome and entertaining

[@JayceBroda]

I appreciate the compliment!

[@RVmadsinger]

My google now app opened when you started saying Google now multiple times in a row lolol

[@JayceBroda]

lol

[@MikesLifee]

Your are awesome man!! One of my favorites no doubt :)

[@JayceBroda]

Thanks Saleh! Any relation to Saleh's in Ontario?

[@MikesLifee]

***** Np Jayce! And not Ontario my friend, from Vancouver :) big fan of your shows too!

[@umbaliche]

Have been looking for this dude all over. Found him today. Like the way he makes reviews 👍

[@TexasRigged]

ZTE supreme even has a 13MP camera sensor

[@patrickramosofmanila]

In my place, front facing cameras of phones locally sold here can be 8mp and even more. Though honestly this selfie thing is not my thing. Love nexus devices.

[@jezuznochill2631]

are the htc m8 top and bottom speakers the same(because the top one seems smaller)

[@UnReaLiSTiCWooT]

its 20% louder

[@UnReaLiSTiCWooT]

UnReaLiSTiCWooT than the m7

[@sammsmi101]

you are looking at the speaker grill the speak is the same as before just better amplification

[@NewToneProducer]

Just tried to download Office on my Samsung tablet. Why isn't it available for tablets? I'd think that that's where it would make the most sense.

[@545SuReN545]

Is there anyway of blocking ads on my non rooted nexus 7 2nd gen while watching vids on browsers such as Google Chrome and dolphin browser?

[@Bamballer123]

Hey Jayce so I have Google now that I downloaded from the android authority website but my concern is how would I be able to update it when updates do come out. I have an s4 so could you help me out?

[@JayceBroda]

The updates will become available on the Google Play Store when they are ready.

[@huskybates1]

I know this doesn't have to do with the video but my "Certified" "New" Galaxy S4 screen cracked on the inside within a week? Did it depend how it fell and the height?

[@zone07]

HTC could have had a better camera if they improved their optics and not necessarily increased the pixel count. But optics also cost money.

[@Malcovish69]

Hey Jayce, I recently bought a galaxy note 10.1 2014 and i want to know if there is any chance to watch youtube videos on 1080p( with the app)? Please help!

[@yousefmedhat6379]

Hey Jayce! Please help me with this decision. The Samsung Galaxy s5 is coming out soon and I can't decide whether to get the Samsung Galaxy s5 or the Htc One m8. Which do you think I should get?

[@JayceBroda]

Depends on your prirorities.

[@alan14Chivas14]

If you like a clean, simple experience, with an amazing metal design, go with the HTC One (M8). If you want a plastic, band aid looking, ugly, cheaply designed phone, with a gimmicky, bloated, ugly, and laggy software, go with the Samsung Galaxy S5. The features on the Galaxy are cool, but i dont think they are worth it to sacrifice a cleaner UI and a better looking phone. Even if you go with the Galaxy, I respect your decision because it is still a powerful phone. Good luck😃

[@yousefmedhat6379]

Alan Buezo thanks

[@AlekkGrkoski]

i saw the photos , and i dont think that m8 is at the bottom...

[@brandonhon2532]

jayce, could u recommend me a custom rom that i can upgrade/update my current version of android 4.1.2 JB on my Galaxy Note 1 to Android 4.4 kitkat.

[@jafargais]

Hi Jayce. Im from the Middle east. And I'm Getting a Galaxy Note 3 N9005 This Week. But whats Confusing me is Its Country Of Orgin. There are Note 3's From China,Vietnam & Korea Here in the Sulthanate of Oman. Which one Should I Go for? Do we actually Need Care about these, while Purchasing a Device? Thanks.

[@jafargais]

Sam Fouani Why?

[@bergerbunny]

Have you ever tried to use spellcheck on Google drive? Every paper that I make I have to copy and paste into word before I can finalize. It's just that bad

[@JayceBroda]

It's not the best for spelling I agree.

[@lackadaisicale492]

Can Google Docs view and edit WORD documents?

[@shogun656]

yes

[@lackadaisicale492]

shogun656 Thanks mate

[@peterhan1988]

Always like all your reviews lol ... you are funny bro!

[@JayceBroda]

tyvm!

[@peterhan1988]

You are welcome bro! :)

[@4g63mark]

I'm glad the President decided to stay with BlackBerry. I'm about to order my new Blackberry right now. It'll be nice to upgrade from Android to an OS that isn't so vulnerable....... I won't miss all the Android spam and malware. Not even a LITTLE bit.

[@UrsulDaniel]

IS IT POSSIBLE TO GET THE GOOGLE EDITION FROM US AND FLASH IT WITH A CUSTOM/stock european rom ????

[@JayceBroda]

Ony time will tell, but imagine so.

[@UrsulDaniel]

***** anyway i cant afford it anymore, so ill wait x), thanks for the reply

[@lorenzoreyguitar]

Lower megapixel count does not mean better lowlight photography, you get better lowlight photograpy with bigger pixels, because they can receive more light, and making high megapixel count cameras with bigger pixels is more expensive, so they decided to go with 4 megapixels, but the megapixel count is not the reason of the better low light performance!

[@rasaijeca]

Love your vids, keep going and cheers from Serbia! Just respond, please.

[@JayceBroda]

Thank you rasaijeca ! I appreciate the support.

[@Fuzz.A]

I dont understand this so called ULTRAPIXEL... Whats the reason to have 5mpx front camera? Does HTC think we take picture using front camera all the time? Great design & performance but not the camera... Once again i will have to pass.. Hopefully One 3(m9) will get better rear camera

[@STNTechHD]

Watch mkbhd's ultrapixel explained video

[@4g63mark]

I think it's foolish for HTC to sacrifice image quality for low light shots........ I guess HTC is aiming their interest at bar patrons who take lots of selfies....... And the term "Build quality" is being used in an incorrect way by people who clearly don't know any better. HTC's build quality is no better than anyone else's. It's their build MATERIALS that are different. What's so funny about that topic is that the Moto X came out in 2010 built mostly of aluminium and nobody cared. The RAZR M, RAZR HD, and HD MAXX, came out a couple years ago made of aluminium and carbon fiber and nobody said shit about that either. The point I'm making is that people don't give a shit about build materials unless it's an iPhone or looks like an iPhone. And since HTC put out the One (which definitely resembles an iPhone) this gives the iSheep a device to flock to therefore separating themselves from the rest of the sheep....... So if your reason for buying the One M8 is looks, congratulations on being slightly different than your iSheep brothers and sisters.

[@1301407gl]

I don't think the HTC one 2013 or 2014 looks like the iPhone, but lord forgive people that want a good looking phone that feels good in your hand

[@powx84]

Outside of the US,people don't care about motorola

[@JayceBroda]

Pow Cavalera Not true. Motorola has been doing very well in Europe recently.

[@MickeyGlover]

My HTC one M8 takes way better pics then my S4, my S4 was always out of focus.

[@JayceBroda]

Tell me more please. Would love to hear your take.

[@MickeyGlover]

+Jayce Brodart my S4 would zoom out and be out of focus most of the time, it took great pictures, don't get me wrong, but the focus was awful.

[@lorddarkseid9445]

Tap to focus

[@MickeyGlover]

I had to do it every time, I shouldn't have to

[@S1ickA2K]

i have the m8 its a quality phone but... im taking it back under o2s 7 day change ur mind policy, the camera is so wannnnnnnk its unbelievable

[@JayceBroda]

How much have you used the camera? Some people love it, though I can't imagine I would.

[@S1ickA2K]

***** hi mate I've used it a lot and i just can't believe how poor it is thank god i had a 7 day change ur mind policy ive come from a galaxy s4 - i really wanted to move away from samsung but i will be getting a s5 unfortunately now

[@tswfootball]

***** I do like your videos Jayce but you're misguiding people quite a bit in this one when you're explaining megapixes Lower megapixels doesn't automatically mean bigger pixels at all. First of all not all camera sensors are equally as big for that to be true. How big the camera sensor is a combination of how many pixels it has and how big those pixels are. The whole Ultrapixel concept is that they've opted for 2um pixels. If you for instance wanted to have an 8 megapixel camera with 2um pixels the sensor would have to be 18 mm thick(quite a bit). HTC Desire 816 is a mid-range device they released this year, and that one has a 13mpx camera, but obviously with smaller pixels... Hence stating that the "Ultrapixel" name is a gimmick to keep manufacturing costs down is a wrongful and unfair statement. They're using that name because it's easier to tell people "ultrapixels" rather than saying "hey it's a 4mpx camera BUT it has larger pixels than other pgones bringing in 300% more light". They just really believe in the Ultrapixel concept instead of putting in a standard 13mpx camera. Whether that's a good choice or not is up to the individual to decide.. But it's unfair to say that they're tricking people.. Having all that said, I do hope we'll get atleast a 6 Ultrapixel camera next year.. :)

[@thetechgentleman]

So true tswfootball , this is a terribly inaccurate description of megapixels and the role they have in your pictures.

[@JohnWongGplus]

5 MP isn't even that high, a lot of Chinese OEMs went crazy w/ the front facing camera.

[@lorddarkseid9445]

How do you feel that iOS 8 will basically be gingerbread 4.0 but apple calls it original?

[@ivangodoy7202]

so the htc one didnt really change just got slightly larger screen and two rear facing cameras and the 5mp front facing camera girls mostly do selfies not guys most of the people that get htc ones are usualy guys so high front facing camera is pointless unless for video chatting

[@1301407gl]

They added an sd card slot and 20% louder speakers, even when the m7 had the best in the market hands down, they added many small improvements that add up to a better overall package

[@ivangodoy7202]

1301407gl oh cool I'll just wait till next years model

[@Drado220]

Wow S5 camera is phenominal

[@NoirSkyz]

So I see you didn't explain the megapixels properly as well as this had nothing to do with the front camera?

[@JayceBroda]

?

It's ultrapixels new tegnology dev by HTC no megapixels

[@JayceBroda]

That is marketing not genuine new technology.

[@TIHutch1]

I'll keep my note 3

[@McDylanNuggets]

Office isn't compatible with tablets?!

[@MrPivotmaster98]

So ultra pixels are basically just like "retina displays".

[@JayceBroda]

"Ultrapixels" is a fancy way of saying "pixels"

[@MrPivotmaster98]

***** exactly just like how retina is just a fancy way of saying "low resolution"

[@ZEEQ011]

great video !

[@powx84]

A pixel so big so that my eye can see it & start counting?...confusing

[@cunningham-code]

Walked into my school library for the past week and looked around to see Word VS Google Docs out of the 30 computers the most people I saw with Word was 5. WAY TO LITTLE WAY TO LATE ***** it's only a matter of time before parents and soon enough entire business switch I have a feeling Microsoft is going the way of Blackberry

[@nicholasgenaris327]

camera is the only weak point of the htc m8. Phone is fucking fantastic

[@thetechgentleman]

Lol, this is a terrible description of what megapixels mean for your pictures. "Lower megapixels means better low light performance"...Say What?! "Lower megapixel cameras have bigger pixels which let in more light"...that's just false.

[@JayceBroda]

Please listen to what was said.

[@AmdavadiHitman]

***** true that!! their pixel size is larger than the average ones!

[@samsunggalaxys7806]

Yo Jace you on psn?

[@JayceBroda]

No, but my teens are. But they play under my name, and they are much better than me. ;)

[@samsunggalaxys7806]

Add me man! My psn is : Killerredzz

[@vincent7603]

Well done... *claps* (Y)

[@vitolibido]

Htc really droops the ball.. it's a shame

[@adrianmh]

Dude to me you seem have no idea what a pixel is..

[@JayceBroda]

I am all ears.

[@GwynbleiddX1]

***** Pixels are dots what you can easily see on low resolution displays. Full HD image/display means that it has total number of 1920*1080 pixels. Low light performance can be altered by aperture and sensor size, nothing to do there with pixels. Pixel defines size of the image as stated by me earlier. A 2 megapixel camera with large sensor and big aperture can perform better in low light than an eight megapixel camera with smaller sensor with small aperture. Aperture defines the size of lens opening in front of sensor [f stops]. However I like your reviews and looking forward for having Z2 once its available in stores in India. Best Regards.

[@mzk9153]

DAT NOSE !

[@JayceBroda]

Infamous I know!

[@paulmacca100ify]

If you want top quality pictures go buy a camera ,all this nonsense about people moaning regarding low light or pixels is just silly ! get yourself a canon if you need top snaps ,otherwise these phone cameras are more than good enough for quick shots or selfies.

[@JayceBroda]

I would disagree. We are accustomed to much better cameras these days. Although it should be said, some other reviewers love the camera for it's other virtues.

[@teasweeguan]

Nah. What you said is wrong. The Lumia can shit better low light than htc one. Who you guys trying to fool anyway..

[@peterkong6130]

second

[@charlech]

Yo it's HTC One (M8) not One M8, or just call it the New HTC One (2014). HTC One is not like some other, your average quality phones like S5 and Z2.

This is coming up in the next Q&A, but I just covered the best cameras in flagship phones, as the lens issues would have gotten boring for most and or would ave started an endless debate.
