Design features of HTC One M8

This model follows the anodized aluminum body, polycarbonate and machine glass of the previous generation HTC One. The method of aluminum alloy fuselage is to grind aluminum metal and polycarbonate into zero-gap injection molding, and polycarbonate plastic creates a boundary effect on the camera on the back of the fuselage. In order to break through the signal shielding problem caused by metal fuselage, antenna coupling technology is adopted as the previous generation (M7), that is, polycarbonate filled in metal fuselage is used as the signal antenna. HTC One (M8) has gone further. The plastic edging seen in the previous generation is no longer, and the proportion of metal materials has increased from less than 70% in the previous generation to 90% (excluding the screen).

The top and bottom of the front of the machine, as well as the sides, are covered with aluminum metal, and the metal on the back of the machine presents a wire drawing effect, while the edge of the machine is a frosted effect. There is a 5-inch 1080p(445ppi) super LCD 3 screen protected by Gorilla Glass 3 in the middle, with a set of speakers at the bottom of the screen and a brightness/distance sensor, LED indicator and front camera at the top of the machine. You can see the HTC logo at the bottom of the screen, and the back key, menu key and home key have changed from the original physical key to the virtual key in the screen. There is a black power button on the left side of the top of the machine, and a set of infrared transmitters for remote control of pre-installed TV is built in. There is a volume button on the right side of the fuselage, a nano-SIM slot on the left side, a 3.5mm headphone jack on the right side of the chassis, and a microUSB/MHL socket on the right side of the chassis. Dual-lens depth-of-field Duo camera makes HTC One (M8) the first dual-lens depth-of-field mobile phone. Duo depth of field camera consists of a 4.08 megapixel UltraPixel and a depth of field camera, which can detect the distance in the scene when shooting. Therefore, in the finished photo, you can activate the function of changing UFocus, take any point in the photo as the focus, and change the depth of field of the whole photo (similar to a light field camera). In order to solve the problem of hand shake when shooting with dual cameras, HTC One (M8) uses an image signal processor (ISP) to realize this function, which is officially claimed to have the same effect as the previous generation of optical hand shake (OIS). In addition, with the addition of many special effects to the Duo depth-of-field camera, HTC announced in the press conference that it would open the Duo Camera SDK for developers to use. Built-in special effects include: foreground er)- Creating a vivid portrait photo magic four seasons by changing the photo background effect-Turning the photo background into animation, and putting the subject in the foreground in the magic collage of four seasons (copy & amp； Paste)-you can combine the characters in two photos into one, and you can change the position of the front and back of Dimension Plus at will-let the photos have a 3D stereoscopic effect, and enjoy photos from various angles by tilting the phone. UltraPixel cameras emphasize that "pixels are not equal to image quality", which is not the practice of other manufacturers to improve pixels. Although there are only 4.08 million pixels, in its 1/3 inch BSI back-illuminated photosensitive module, each pixel can reach 2? M pixel size, which makes it compare with 1. 1? M pixel size, high light sensitivity of 300%. True Tone dual LED flash uses white light (cool color) and yellow light (warm color). When you turn on the flash to take a picture, you can choose the appropriate ratio and intensity of white light and yellow light from more than 500 color temperature combinations according to the color temperature of the scene to make the picture clearer and more natural. HTC One (M8) continues the 28mm wide-angle and f/2.0 large aperture lens used in the same series of cameras. The front lens is upgraded to 5MP and f/2.0 cameras.

The image processing core (ISP) of HTC One (M8) is ImageChip 2, which can make the camera achieve autofocus speed below 300ms and provide instant image quality compensation and noise reduction. It also has the function of HDR video recorder, which can provide a dynamic range of 84dB and the specifications of 1080p/30fps or 720p/60fps, and can also provide the shooting function of early/late shutter capture.

HTC One (M8) also has the function of Zoe (Greek for "life"). Every time the shutter is pressed, the camera will take a 2688× 1 0,520 photo of 16:9 and a three-second video of 1080/30p, providing Zoe Share photo with background information. These three-second videos can also be strung together with preset themes and background music (each 12).
