![]() ![]() Like with the iPhone 5s version, the Android app doesn’t need an external tracker to monitor steps, distance and calories, it just runs in the background using a low-power motion sensor. So the One (M8)’s Fitbit integration is more exciting than you think. Remember those battery-guzzling apps we mentioned? Fitness apps that automatically track walking and running like the (admittedly excellent) Moves are some of the worst. That 5% could last you 15 hours and so far in our testing, it’s saved us at least once on a long commute home. Ideal for emergencies, it kills everything apart from phone calls, messages, email, calendar and calculator. And if you get stuck without juice, its amazing Extreme Power Saving mode has your back. It can drop from 14% to 2% to dead right before your eyes.Įven though it’s only a slightly bigger battery powering the One (M8), it lasts longer – a day to a day and a half. And it’s magic for small handed HTC fans – just keep your thumb hovering above the screen.Ī HTC One with a battery-sapping app installed (more on this later) is a device to curse and curse. With Motion Launch gestures the One (M8)’s screen can be turned on by double tapping it, like an LG G2, swiping from the bottom of the screen to unlock or from the left or right to go straight to BlinkFeed or widgets. It’s now on the right hand side of the top edge to make it easier to press one-handed without hitching the handset up and down in your hand like last year’s. No more juggling to reach the power button The only rival for media hoarding practicality in a premium form is the incoming Xperia Z2 but the One (M8) is not only dashing in looks but easy to hold too, unlike the blocky Sony. Not the iPhone or Nexus 5 either – gorgeous but limited or scarily expensive over 32GB. Or the dual SIM, microSD friendly version of the HTC One announced late 2013 – the flimsy removable back spoils the premium feel. Not the original non-expandable One – six months in and you’ll easily fill 32GB, believe us. ![]() HTC One (M8) supports microSD cards up to 128GB.How many smartphones can you say that about? ![]()
