[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Codeplayer:
I posted a review on phonearena, I'll just copy it here and modify a bit :

I ordered this phone after a long taught, over should i order M9 or M8s. The cost difference was 1/3.What could we get for the 1/3? I was disappointed, that M9 only had one back camera, also it doesnt have a barometer. The camera is not important to me, except the slow motion. M8s and M9 both shoot 720p 120FPS slow motion, so no difference there. Add dual camera and barometer to find out the winner.

It seems that I am the only one in the world that got one. There are no real reviews or review videos. There are next to nothing forum posts available. I haven't seen any promotions even on htc facebook page. There are plenty for different Desire models and M9 for sure though. Even GSMArena tells that this phone will be released in may. Well I boguht it 2 weeks earlier.

The phone itself feels new. Its not like an Apple watch that does everything you expect that a smartphone does. There are a lot extraordinary. Forinstance the dual camera. Its something that gives you so much different device tha a standard smartphone. I like to have depth information in my photos. I can select the person in the photo with one touch to make their background like a drawing, or the other way around, to make the person as drawing and the background real. And this is just one feature. There are tons of things one can play around with such cameras. Also there is the slow motion feature with 120fps 720p recording. The slow motion videos are vivid and smooth. Just like proffessional, highly expensive slow motion shots you can see on Discovery. Just type in "slow motion htc one" to Youtube search box and see for yourself. You can play around with slow motion videos all day and never get bored for years.

I like seamless features. HTC was the first who introduced putting phone into silent mode when you placed the ringing phone face down on table. It also understands, when its taken out of pocket and rings quietly, for there is no need to scream anymore and you can have your dignity when in public spaces, in the worst case, hospital or cinema.

The phone itself feels very solid, like a future Star Trek device. It feels like it could never break (unlike the iBreak :D ). And the screen, ofcourse you can't distinguish pixels. Its like curves are curves. Amazing. It has FullHD resolution.

There are some downsides though. I don't know if it is a software issue or the phone is faulty, I cannot get one main feature to work, that was one of the reasons that i actually got the phone instead of M9. M9, as we know, lacks the barometer. This is not the case for M8s. I cannot get mine to work. The same issue goes for infrared. Whatever app I try, they do not see my IRDA.

I contacted htc support with the issue, they contacted me back and told me that there is no such hardware on the phone as IRDA or barometer. The specs are faulty and if I want, they could change it to the M8.

I'm not sure I want a M8. I mean I carried my Sensation Xe around for one extra year just because of the underpowered camera of it. So I'll be discussing other options on monday. Discount forinstance. I have fell in love with the tremendous battery capacity of the phone. The phone is blazing fast (I don't game, except for some Heroes of Might & Magic II port) and It seems like the battery is infinite. So I think I'll keep it. Its just that I feel a bit conned by the missing hardware. I was hoping to play around with it.

If you like any more information then Just ask, I can test anything. Here is a little camera sample:

Some 3D effects you can do, when you use duo-cam to make photos:

Slow motion movie sample (re-encoded to 360p by youtube, ofcourse. I don't know why I cannot get it to 720p in youtube. Maybe it is because the video is 768x432 pixels)

(Note that there is even more slowed-down part in the end that is made by youtube video editor and the slow motion clip)
