HTC shouldn go coque iphone 6 easylife all in on nostalgia and expect it to be a long term solution Would you look at that, HTC might try to make a nostalgia driven comeback. But
HTC launched the much lauded One M7 in 2013 and needed a follow up that would impress the iPhone and Samsung users of the world. The HTC One M8 delivered in more ways than one.
The One M8 is considered by many to be one of the most beautiful smartphones ever made. Look at this thing! Its industrial design and smooth matte finish just felt much more premium than what the competition was offering (hello, Galaxy S5, you toy of a smartphone). It also brought back the front facing BoomSound speakers and a revitalized version of HTC Sense that gave users a refreshing alternative to the bloated Samsung TouchWiz and LG UI.

Samsung Galaxy S5
