HTC’s much anticipated flagship device the One (M8) smartphone is now available for grabs via online e-retailer Flipkart at a reduced price of Rs 49,850. The original price of the device for the Indian market is Rs 49,900. Notably, the device has been available on Flipkart a week ahead of its official availability (first week of May, that is).
The HTC One (M8) comes with a 12.7-cm (5-inch) 1080p display and runs a Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 quad-core processor. It further packs 2GB RAM, a 2600 mAh battery and is powered by Android 4.4.2 KitKat with the company’s brand new Sense 6 UI on top. The smartphone comes with a unique feature of dual-rear cameras with UltraPixel technology. The highlight of the device is its dual rear camera. While the main camera of the M8 is a 4-UltraPixel resolution one, the second rear camera captures depth information, giving the phone the ability to do refocus images and background detection better. The device also features a 5MP front camera.
Earlier, HTC open sourced one of its most prized possessions: the Duo Camera. Third-party developers can now use the APIs and SDK preview of the camera to play around and do as they please with the same.
