Why trust Greenbot
HTC has just made the One (E8) smartphone official with a very familiar specs sheet. This is essentially the same smartphone which was known as the One M8 Ace in the rumor mill, and it is said that the One (E8) will be initially available in China with other markets to follow suit subsequently.
The handset packs a 5 inch 1080p display much like the M8, along with a 2.5 GHz Snapdragon 801 SoC, Android 4.4.2 Jelly Bean, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of internal storage with a microSD card slot and a 13-megapixel camera on the back with f/2.2 aperture size. There’s a 5-megapixel front camera as well, which should help in taking decent selfies.
As you might have noticed, there’s no Duo Camera on the device, so users will have to make do with the solitary camera sensor. Another major change seen here is the exclusion of the aluminum body from the One M8. In order to save costs and make the device lighter, HTC has used a polycarbonate enclosure, which doesn’t necessarily compromise on the looks.
There’s no word on the pricing at the moment, but expect it to cost slightly lesser than the One M8 given that it sports a plastic body in place of the more premium aluminum.
