![]() HTC will offer an SDK for other apps that want to do similar.Īlso making use of movement is Motion Launch. That taps into the permanently-on sensor suite, just as does the new Fitbit integration which uses those sensors to track how many steps you've taken, distance traveled, and calories burned, pinging achievements into the BlinkFeed stream. For instance, thanks to a deal with FourSquare, it can make suggestions as to well-rated places to eat nearby if it's close to mealtime. However, fitting in with HTC's emphasis on contextual awareness this time around, BlinkFeed also uses current location to add relevant tiles. HTC BoomSound still uses stereo front speakers for better projection of the audio, but this time around there's a new multi-band amplifier to increase both volume and quality, and now the headphone jack benefits from it as well. Speaker performance was one of the surprise features of the original One, and the new One M8 doubles-down on that for this second-generation handset. Up front, there's a 5-megapixel camera with a wide-angle lens for fitting more people into your selfies. It also gets a new, dual-color flash, and supports Full HD video recording with an HDR mode for stills and footage. ![]() That sticks with UltraPixel technology – opting for bigger individual pixels for maximum light sensitivity – but adds a second sensor for factoring in depth data. ![]() HTC tried something new with the camera on the One, and the One M8 pushes that even further with a new Duo Camera system (which we'll go in-depth with later in the review). HTC has packaged its sensor suite – gyroscope, accelerometer, proximity sensor, ambient light, and barometer – into a separately-managed bundle, which allows it to keep them running in low-power mode even when the phone is idle, tracking things like movement and steps taken. There's also WiFi a/b/g/n/ac (2.4/5GHz), Bluetooth 4.0 with aptX, NFC, an MHL-HDMI output, and GPS/GLONASS.
