I have a US VZW M8 modified beyond description. I've had it since 2014. I have 132 different custom and stock Android OSes installed and all work great. In the Viper OS (kitkat 4.4.4 Sense 6), there is a mod that enables the Sense 5 Weather animation when you wake the phone or unlock, I STILL enjoy it. With the MIUI tweak from Viper devs, if the weather condition is WINDY in the fall, you get super pretty golden, red, and brown leaves floating around your screen in the wind animation, it sooo frekin cool! In the winter your screen gets frosty, it snows, and it gets lightning strikes during thunderstorms. It uses Accuweather provider which STILL works on kitkat. The M8 is the greatest smartphone ever made in my opinion (if you look at it in its time, not in the present with its dinosaur hardware)

This is one of those pieces of technology that will be remembered for a long, long time to come. Similar to the Apple IIs and Commodore 64s of yesteryear. I distinctly remember this being my dream phone and my dad finally agreeing to get one for me for Christmas, only to realise that here in Australia the original had been replaced by a much weaker version called the M8S. What started as me getting my dream phone at the time ended up being one of the most frustrating experiences as a young tech enthusiast. It was slow, buggy and the camera unit was straight up abysmal in comparison to the original M8. The design of it still made me the coolest kid in class so I didn't complain too much 🤣

HTC EVO was the real GOAT! HTC sense UI was the first to have quick settings accessed from the status bar. It was a real game changer that we take for granted today. HTC created many of our common features every phone uses today. Personally I believe the death of HTC was is deal to make the google phone. It was a rushed device that had poor specs with poor quality at a premium price. When other companies were making better and cheaper devices it feel behind and never came back. Which is a shame because it really did have the best android skins at its peak. Sense 2.5 and above were years ahead.

I went for a flagship phone in 2014. I had to choose between Samsung Galaxy S5, Lg G3, Sony Xperia Z2 and HTC One m8. The S5 had a pretty good camera, the G3 had some awesome OS customization, the Z2 had almost stock Android experience and was very responsive and One m8 had a gorgeous design. At the end I went for the Z2 because overall it was the beast between all other beasts. It had an upgraded IPS display (the previous Z1 had a TFT), the same SD801, a whoping 3GB of LPDDR3 instead of 2GB, a nice 20MP sensor that took great daytime photos, MicroSD card slot, 3.5mm audio jack, front facing stereo speakers and a really big 3200mAh battery (most phones had under 3000mAh even flagship ones). I used this phone for over 7 years before going to a new one. And this Z2 still works today with the first battery from the factory that has around 70% of it's original capacity, just a crazy phone :-)

My One M7 is still sitting in a drawer. It was pretty revolutionary at the time. They stuffed all the components into a milled aluminum body, and to get around the side effect of decreased cell reception, they added cutouts in the frame, something you still see on phones today. Dual front facing speakers, a luxury we barely have today with phones using a bottom firing and top front mounted speaker. Instead of adding more mexapixels to the camera, they used a sensor with lower resolution but larger photosites to increase low light sensitivity; low light imaging performance was going to become of great importance shortly after. It had a 1080p display, which was larger and higher resolution than what Apple was offering with the iPhone 5 at the time. HTC was absolutely on top of their game and creating the best hardware in the Android space.

The first phone I bought secondhand and rooted was the HTC Evo 3D when I was 18 years old (31 now). I initially bricked it because I wiped the internal memory (where I downloaded a custom OS) through TWRP as well as the current installed OS. Got stuck in a boot loop, ended up finding a way to load the custom OS from an external HD and flashed that. Back then you could change you DNS settings so your Wifi tether/hotspot came off your unlimited data plan with the same speed as the normal plan, rather than the capped and limited paid hotspot through T-Mobile. I lived on XDA forums, installing Cyanogen to every Samsung device I got after that.

HTC One M7 is my favourite phone ever, and I doubt a phone will replace that now. It was so groundbreaking in so many ways, phones can't really compete with that now.

I have an M7 that's still going strong. I never used it as a phone, though, but as a little boombox at work. I liked it so much, I bought a 2nd one as a backup.

Used to have the htc 1 m7. Loved that phone. Only Android I’ve ever owned, iPhones ever since. But I absolutely adored my htc one

My first android phone was the HTC Sensation XL. Loved the brand so much that I got the M8 then the M10. Was so sad when my fave brand died.

HTC should jump in the mid-range phone market. This video just brought back some great memories I had with M8

The M8 is probably still my favorite phone til this day! Way ahead of its time, from the camera, functionality, sound, and esthetic!!

This is such a classic phone designwise. it still looks fresh and crisp and beautiful today

It's probably my favorite and the best phone I've ever had. Those front-facing speakers were game-changing, and that fast charging was mind-blowing at the time.

I still think about the M8 here and there. Absolutely loved that phone. The Sunshine Root S-Off was the best day

I was the owner of this phone... loved it... I miss HTC days when everyone in my home used to buy only HTC phones... They must make a comeback...

I remember mine getting so hot sometimes but I loved HTC. You couldn’t tell me nothing about HTC, I was a ride or die.

I was so envious of someone that had this phone back in the day - sexy beast of a phone

I had this and the HTC 10 back in the day. Both are absolute tanks, must have dropped the 10 who knows how many times, all the corners chipped and bent but it still works to this day.

HTC needs to remake the m8 with today's hardware!

Made me remember my HTC One E8, that I used at my first Job. Such a beautiful phone! Did the job pretty well for its price!
