Will you/did you upgrade from the M7 to the M8? If you're sticking with the M7 why?
I'm not sure? I'm interested to hear other's opinions.

I upgraded from the M7, you can't go wrong either way. The M7 was the best smart phone I've ever had but I like to have the latest things so I took the plunge for the M8. The two very small gripes with my M7 were the purple tint issue and the battery life. After 8+ months of ownership I was only just getting a day on battery if that on light/moderate usage. The M8s battery life is 40% better than the M7 so that is a huge increase. The purple tint issue has also been fixed. It's not a huge upgrade and if I were tight on money I could EASILY of kept the M7 till 2015. Your choice. This might get locked as it's a phone comparison thread but hey ho.
Thanks for your thoughts.. I agree about the battery. 12 months on I can certainly see the decay.
I hope this doesn't get locked as it is useful to those like me who have the previous model and are debating to upgrading to the next generation.
I understand comparison threads being closed, but this is discussing the same manufacturer and practically the same model, just the upgraded version. Normally flame wars happen between other OEMs like Samsung and HTC.
I imagine this thread would be useful to others who are undecided on wether to splash out of commit for another 2 years on a device that may in the real world seem just the same as the M7
Hope we can keep this discussion going!:fingers-crossed:
i am!
Yup, already did.
Hmmm...shall I... shant I...
Been sat on the checkout screen since yesterday...
My m7..there's nowt wrong with it.... But I like to have the latest HTC..decisions!
Mee too. I cant ignore design and quality.

Same as me. I had a play with one at the O2 store today. Gotta say... its the finest looking mobile phone I've ever seen. Gun metal grey is defo the best. I'm thinking of getting one from Three tomorrow on PAYG. £459!
but I have an M7 and its in perfect condition and will have Sense 6 soon making almost the same as the M8. Is it really worth spending the money???
Have a DE on order. Loved the M7. Best phone I have ever had. Can't wait for the phone to arrive.
Yes that's exactly my predicament.. £470 for.... Looks.. which you can't see when your holding it.. a depth sensor.. and that's it really... Isn't it?
And Sense 6 coming soon.. well already here really, had it on yesterday for a while, but not officially out yet.
But.. I do want one. That's a lot of nice things I could get for my motorbike though lol.
I have T-Mobile JUMP, so I'll be trading in my M7 for the M8.
As of right now, I have another $300 to go before my M7 is paid off. On ebay, a used M7 goes for around $250.. and then you minus some shipping and ebay fees.
Definitely not worth it for me to just stick with the M7.

How exactly does JUMP work? I'm eligible for it now as well but obviously haven't used it before. Do you ever get to have both phones at the same time so you can transfer information, or do you literally go in the store with one phone and come out with the other?

You have to backup everything because you will never have both phones at the same time. You literally bring the old phone to the store, they inspect it for screen and water damage, they set up the new phone for you (they'll set up your GMail and sync the two for you) and then you walk out.
And yes, as soon as T-Mobile gets it in store, I'm using my JUMP for it. There's no reason not to since if I don't like it I can just use my second JUMP credit to trade it for something else (which I will consider doing when the 805 devices roll out).

That makes sense. What if you do the process online? I'm wondering if they would send you the device then you could take your current device to the store to trade it in.

How is going from 2300 to just 2600 (300 increase) a 40% better?

It's not just the mah that matters. You have the more efficient SoC, better optimizations... Stuff like that.

Not sure if its actually 40% (could you link to source?) but I've definitely read that the M8 gets better battery life than the M7 from several reviews.
Well, i will get mine soon. Thanks to all SkyDragon user via donation! Max, butterfly, hox and m7 users.
I couldn't keep my hox, should sell it to get m7... But this time its different, i keep m7 and will get m8.
Why? Mostly for cooking reasons. All my team has m7 and today 6 of them has also m8.
The rest will jump soon too, we are like 40 hahaha.
I love design, sense 6, well.. All.
Doesn't mean m7 is old, i still very happy with it. But also want to taste new m8. Im curious about dot case and sense 6.
About battery, m7 got good battery, screen, best devs and roms. And soon m8.
Btw,i will release our first SkyDragon rom soon, if someone wants to join my team to be tester, or has code skilz or theming skilz, just pm.
Well done HTC, again best phone of the year! No doubt.
Have to state that. If i should keep my m7 only, im Happy too as we are getting Sense 6 soon, also dot cover
Literally just upgraded from the M7 two hours ago. Wow. Seriously just wow. I just tried out the camera, the effects are really cool. It is super mega smooth. The new SoC is very power efficient and fast. Definitely feels better too. Also glad to be rid of the purple camera tint.
Is it still worth buying an one m8? Its price is 40k in india approx 650usd

Why you need a smartphone ??!!
For all your needs HTC One M8 can get the job done well.
buy it now and you will never feel sorry.
I tried so many smartphones LG G3, Galaxy S5 & iPhone 6 for some time but at the end I decide to get the M8, and for me it is the best smartphone I ever used.
Same here tried a hell of a lot of devices they all suck except the m8 best ever !

I am coming from nexus 5, g2, and s5 to HTC m8. I kinda regret waiting so long switching to m8. It's definitely one of the best smartphone I ever had. Build quality is top notch with amazing speakers. Battery life is really good and I really like sense features. Camera is decent but that's not the main reason why I bought it. I usually take pictures with my dslr.
i previously had xperia z2, then galaxy s5 and now HTC m8. and there is no doubt M8 is best among them. and i think it is still worth to buy one. amazing speed, good camera, beautiful finishing.
I've also tried all the top of the line phones and switched to new phones monthly, and than I got a m8 and the switching stopped.

Whether the phone is "worth it" to you, isn't a question other people can answer for you. It depends on what you have now, what you need the phone for, how much the money means to you, etc.
Its a great phone, and I can honestly say its probably still the best phone you can get at this time. Meaning, if I lost or broke my M8 and had to buy another phone for full price; I'd most likely just buy another M8.
On the other hand, if you have a decent phone now, there is likely going to be an impressive new HTC flagship coming in April. So you may want to wait. On the other hand, some folks switch phones like I change my underwear. So it really depends on you.

Many of these questions are already answered, if you just look through the forum sections.
Did no-one buy this phone or is it too new?
If its the former we need to get a PSA going about how great the phone is so people buy more, if its the latter I suppose we should just wait...
I think it's just because it's relatively new. It only went on sale this week in my country. But hey, if you want to spice things up, go ahead and post something!

Oh the pressure!
It's new and in the US here its only available on one carrier and most people are waiting on the M9 flagship phone. We also don't have s-off so we cant do any fun mods really. Honestly it's a M8 in plastic with water proofing and different cameras so its nothing groundbreaking. I wouldnt expect much out of this fourm

Yes, it's almost M8, so it would be pretty easy to port some M8 ROMs to the EYE, GPE ROM for example. I would do that if I had any tutorials. But I haven't found any.
Im waiting also on some custom rom,but nobody take care till now about this device.I will try to ask Venom team cos they make the best custom roms.

I wouldnt say it's easy by any means especially since most HTC Devs on this site do not own the device and with the different cameras come different drivers it makes things harder.

Yeah I thought the same thing but for the moment in my option, due to the fact that it is an At&t exculsive it will take some time before people outside this carrier obtains it. Unless, you are like me and decided to purchase it unlocked; which is not a bad idea if you ask me. Additionally, since this phone is new and HTC has promised that it will be supporting devices like the M8,Desire EYE and new devices with updates and fixes for the next 2 years I personally will not be bothered with rooting my device. Besides, we are soon due to get Android 5.0 directly from the source so why not wait and enjoy the direct updates from HTC because after 2.5 years we will be on our own.
After 2 years, which I would most likely still have it in excellent order will then decide to root it and add a custom rom on it.
But dont worry, you are not alone in buying this phone. It is an amazing device that in more cases than one is much better,on the same spec stage and cheaper than the M8.
I recently received my desire eye. I won it on HTC elevate though. Awesome program. But I see that it isn't a very popular option. Since I'm on Verizon mine will be used mostly as a WiFi device. I can day that once lollipop gets here you will really like it. Dttw works perfectly

Yes this is an absolutely amazing phone, I had a Moto X, then tried WinMo with the Nokia 930 and then went to thi, its the best phone ive ever owned, brilliant performance, great battery life, awesome connectivity, the only downside could be its physical size, not a problem for a big guy like myself but if you have small hands and small pockets you wont find this phone easy to use.

Thanks for the reply. Got my iPhone up for sale on Swappa and will try to find one if it sells. Seem to be extremely hard to find used. May have to give up on getting one and go with something else.
I am going to buy LG G4. I have heard a lot about hardware failure of this phone. So, what is your opinion on this? Need your guidance,please.
Regards
My opinion would be to buy a G3 or Moto X Pure, if you're looking for something on the cheaper end. G4 is a mess.
If extra cash isn't an issue I'd say wait and check out the HTC 10 tomorrow. The Huawei Mate 8 looks sweet, too, if you can find one.
A lot of boot loop issues with early production models. It may not be the case with later production models, but these boot loop issues take 5-8 months to show. If you are buying brand new, make sure you have at least a 12 month warranty.

I had am M9 for less than a week. It's a beautiful phone that functioned fine but it got hot fast. I had GPS on for maybe five minutes and the phone got hot enough for me to feel it on my leg through my jeans. Very warm. If you can handle that, it's a nice phone.

If I may throw my hat in the ring, I have a G4 and am quite dissatisfied. I am getting a Nexus for my next phone and I suggest you take a good look at them as well.
G4 is a beautiful device it does as commands and is loyal. I bought mine recently and it looks elegant with brown leather. Yes it had hardware failure with 505 and i did get mine keeping that in mind. I own a 512 EU H model. Rooted. Works as a charm. Still optimus has its moments but
Thank god it isnt touchwiz. The camera is jewel and it paints magnificently on the patriot class 10 64gb i reserved for it. Other than that its your call.

Another vote for the nexus 6p from me. A big amoled screen with front facing speaker running the latest android is a perfect combination. It may be expensive outside the US but if u already consider the m9, the 6p won't be much of a stretch in term of budget. No sdcard and removable battery are nexus' only downsides

I was excited because I finally got a phone that wasn't trash and was expecting to get the ROMs and Kernels etc. that a flagship usually has and was lucky enough to get with lesser phones like the original LG Volt. I was quickly screwed by LG. A spectacular phone ruined by hardware problems and a locked bootloader. I won't have these problems with a Nexus, plus the price is better and it has support for GSM and CDMA networks. I can go to and from any carrier I choose while not having to wait 9 months for them to push OTAs or load my phone with trash. It is for all intents and purposes, my dream phone. The only thing missing is external storage, which may change with the next one. If you don't care about root and what not, buy a Samsung. The hardware and software are superb, unless you don't like TouchWiz of course. I don't mind OEM skins, so it doesn't bother me but some hate it. If you don't want a sammy, I would also recommend HTC flagships, they are praised by everyone I know who owns one.

Expectations can really be everything. If having complete control over the phone is the top priority, getting a Nexus is the obvious solution. Especially if you want other features like GSM/CDMA compatibility. And the quick updates are great of course.
I suppose I have the benefit of lower expectations - well, mainly in regards to the lack of an unlocked bootloader and the potential for bootloop issues (or the need for a warranty). For me, expandable storage is a must. As is having a great camera (and all the phones mentioned seemingly do). I also like the replaceable battery - as it has the potential to add long-term life to the phone. OEM skins aren't the worst thing, though TouchWiz isn't my favorite. Obviously, I would love complete control of the phone, or at least the ability to completely remove and bloatware I don't want, but most of the time I am happy enough using a launcher like Nova.
The Nexus is a little big for me as well. I'm coming from a 5" screen, so even the 5.5" on the G4 is a little big - and likely would be too big if not for the relatively small size of the phone otherwise. When I was at Best Buy recently, the S7 was definitely the best device to hold in my hand. Looks great, works great, but cost too much for me right now. Also, while this may not be a factor for everyone, the Gear VR did not meet my expectations - and certainly gave me concerns about impact on my eyes and/or brain, as well as doubtful how long the battery would last using it
In the end, ordering a G4 (with a US warranty) + case, screen protector and tax was less than $350. Sure, I won't be able to root it (at least right now), and I will always be cautious about the bootloop occurring, but that seems like a great deal for less than half the price of the S7, and $200+ less than a Nexus.

Good luck. I hope you like it.
I'm currently running an HTC One M8 and it's on its last dying breath. I'm looking for something to replace it in the 200-300$ with and isn't really impressed by the Build quality and design of anything TBH. (the Nokia 7 plus seems like the best option from the new ones so far). so I had the idea of looking for old flagships instead and remembered how much I wanted to have the 10 back when it came out. looking around I'm seeing it being sold anywhere from 150 to 300$ new.
Here's my Question, how is the 10 holding up in 2019, do the specs have any life in them? are the heating and the battery still a problem or not? and if you Do recommend it would it make sense to get a new one or used?
(sorry if this is the wrong place make this post, I looked around and this seemed like the most logical place)

New or used doesn't make much difference, most devices are at least 2 years old and either used or on a shelve in a box. My advice, look for another device with more or better battery capacity. Although i truly love my htc10 which i will continue to use for at least another 6-9 months and maybe longer i would advice now to look for a different device.
A year / a year and a half ago my advice would be very different

New or used doesn't make much difference, most devices are at least 2 years old and either used or on a shelve in a box. My advice, look for another device with more or better battery capacity. Although i truly love my htc10 which i will continue to use for at least another 6-9 months and maybe longer i would advice now to look for a different device.

Good point, I'm currently looking into the Poco f1 but I'm a bit worried about the build quality since the last Xioami phone I got failed on my quite terribly within the first year. also going from metal to plastic will probably be big downgrade...

You may want to consider the u11 as well, as they sometimes go for 300$ which appears to be in your budget.

If you are worried about build quality of the Poco, check out the Mi8 Lite. It is all glass with aluminum edge. Just picked oneup last week Love it so far, with the exception of having to wait 15 days before the bootloader can be unlocked.

the Average price for one seems to be 375 and the cheapest deal I've found was 325$, will keep it in mind though.

Not a fan of glass backs or No 3.5 jacks. the specs are close to the Nokia 7 plus. which I would probably choose over it due to the mentioned reasons and it being Andriod one.

I was strongly considering the Nokia 7 to tide me over until the U13/Pixel/Oneplus7 get revealed, but then crossed it off my list after reading multiple people having issues with horribly slow fingerprint unlock on the latest software.

I found a decent deal on a U11 for 330 Canadian dollars, which is around 250usd. That's why I was mentioning it.
Im in the exact same situation atm and i just cant find any new phone that i would buy. Sure there are some nice phones but there is always something i really dislike about them. I am on my scratched m8 with dying battery and it continues to just annoy me. I also want to be on the newest android but than there are so many bugs and features like nfc pay just dont work.
I thought about a htc 10 cause i really liked htcs phones (Had the HD2 and the One Mini and loved both aswell as the m8). I think the 10 was the last good phone htc made so i dont like the u11.
Idk maybe the 10 isnt that bad of an idea...

the HTC 10 is only good if you find one with a good battery. I have problems that the battery drowns very fast and random shutdowns when I'm under 40% or so and open the camera.
