I participated in an Influencer Activation Program on behalf of Influence Central for Sprint. I received sample devices to facilitate this review.
When Sprint invited me to lunch, to learn all about the HTC One M8 phone I was tickled – I’ve had good prior experiences with Sprint and HTC, and was looking forward to hearing what was new. What I was NOT expecting was to fall in love with the HTC One M8.
And I fell HARD people.
This phone could do things I didn’t even know were possible! 3D pictures, Adding people to photos that weren’t there, a Selfie timer, Speakers that make it sound like you are at a concert… I could go on. This phone was SWEET.
I love my iPhone, but I’m honestly thinking of switching to this. One feature that is particularly persuasive is the ability to ADD STORAGE to this phone. I’m currently playing the “which photo can I delete on my phone – so I have room to take another photo” game on my iPhone. But the HTC One M8 allows you to buy an 128GB additional storage SD card – should you want to. That would single handedly SOLVE my storage problem if I ever ran out of room on my HTC ONE M8!
Some other HTC One M8 Highlights Included:
- Harmon Kardon Sound! Dual front-facing HTC BoomSound™ speakers create an audio soundstage. My music has never sounded so good.
- A camera that doesnt miss a trick, including bringing objects into focus, even on photos you’ve already taken with UFocus™!
- Great Battery life! 2600 mAh Battery – helps you stay charged all day long!
- A Metal, not plastic shell. Which do you think protects your phone from falls better? 😉
- Exclusive Apps like Zoe for picture creativity, HTC BLINKFEED™ to make your home screen your personal assistant, and SENSE TV™ that turns your phone into your TV remote!
I continue to be impressed with the HTC One M8 everyday I use it. And HTC rep Mary Vo told us that its normal with the HTC brand to be discovering tricks and tips as you go for the lifetime of your phone – and I believe her!
All in all – I’m blown away by HTC technology combined with Sprints super fast network speeds. I had no idea what I was missing! Special thanks to the Sprint Dallas Store for the fun afternoon!

As a big audio and mobile technology geek, I love that the HTC One M8 has Harmon Kardon Sound! Very cool. Also, I forget who said it, but “the camera you use is the camera you have with you.” As such, the quality of the camera in your phone matters, and the HTC One M8 sounds amazing. Thanks for sharing this!
