We’d give the Boomsound feature a miss when using headphones though.
You’ll get slightly more punch from Sony’s handset too and the iPhone is a touch more precise, but it’s an overall perfectly listenable sound that should see you right for sound on the go. It’s a full-bodied, well-balanced sound with decent levels of detail, but it doesn’t quite top the very best from the Sony Xperia Z1 and the iPhone 5s when it comes to timing. Plug in a pair of headphones and the improvements are subtler. Voices are clearer and there’s decent weight here too, dodging the thin, tinny sound you will hear from most other smartphone speakers. Sound is noticeably louder, there’s better stereo separation and detail levels are up as well. There are improvements to be heard here, particularly through the Boomsound speakers.
There’s also a redesigned ‘multi-phase’ amp, which allows the One M8 to amplify different parts of a track independently, giving it the ability to boost soft vocals without overdoing the bass, for example. The Boomsound stereo speakers that sit above and below the screen have had their speaker chambers redesigned, allowing the One M8 to be 25 per cent louder than its predecessor. When it comes to sound, HTC has not rested on its laurels. We found them to be responsive and work well during testing, with some, particularly the tap to wake becoming second nature before we realised. You will need to put in any lock codes first though. They also include swipe up to unlock, swipe right to go straight to Blinkfeed and turn it landscape and press the volume key to launch the camera. Like the LG G2, you can now wake the screen by simply double tapping, but that’s not all.
HTC ONE M8 UFOCUS SOFTWARE
There’s also now the option to turn it off completely as well, if you are not a fan.Ī new software feature on the One M8 is Motion Launch, which offers gesture-based commands. Blinkfeed, HTC’s content aggregating homepage, is back, with some design and usability tweaks so it looks better, scrolls smoother and is even more useful than before, adding new features like the ability to create ‘Bundles’ – a single tile that will pull together all the news on a certain topic, so it’s easier to keep up.Īdding to and customising your Blinkfeed is easier than ever too, so you really can turn it into a snapshot of all the things that matter to you.
