The brushed metal back doesn’t end on all four sides like the previous model – It wraps around almost entirely to the screen.

Last year’s ONE was a solid build with a similar metal backing, however the M8 version takes the full metal concept and smashes it out of the ballpark. The build materials and build quality mean you feel like you’re getting every dollars worth from your purchase – be that outright or on a plan. When you hold it in your hand there is an immediate feeling of quality. This is the number 1 seller for the HTC ONE. (Oh, and from here on in its just HTC ONE – the (M8) is just a differentiator from last year, everything I say here is about 2014 unless i say “last year” :)) Quality Here’s some of the key things I’ve been noticing when testing the HTC ONE (M8) over the last week or so. That’s not to say it’s not important for many, however for my mind the average buyer is looking for quality, value and features. The problem with smartphones these days is trying to differentiate one from another and really and when you are comparing the big three the processor power, the camera pixels and all that jazz really do fade into insignificance for the average buyer.
