M7, M8 were CLASSIC. Just like LG, HTC always tries to do something new but the 2010s were about refining and sustainability as we found out that phones were getting more and more expensive... I liked HTC 10 also but the battery life was especially bad. Back then it was a 4MP ultrapixel and now we have 108MP sensors that do pixel binning. Both are not the best they can be but HTC really opened our eyes focusing um size rather than MP count, which is something many consumers still cannot understand...
You did a great review! I have hTC one Max/ M7/M8/M9+, and E8/E9+, all of them are still able to operate. Thank you for such a brilliant and meaningful job. Two thumbs up.
13:20 I don't speak Chinese well, but in reality HTC did not sell it's stake directly to apple in 2013. Apple would buy beats directly 100% only a year later, AFTER HTC had sold it's stake in beats. The one m7 max was the first to have no beats branding.
