HTC silently anounces its quietly brilliant M8 Eye with 13 mp cameras

HTC , a company that is praised for its rich designs and quality build received a lot of negative press after they decided to put their ultrapixel cameras on their 2014 flagship.The ultra pixel sensor is basically a enhanced 4 megapixel sensor that has a large aperture to collect more light to create a richer image and good low light photos , but the system , which is almost a year now is no longer feasible to put on any device so HTC ultimately unveiled a 13mp sensor to replace it in future smartphones like the E8 and the Desire Eye . The Original flagship of the year - The HTC M8 has a dual ultrapixel sensor unit to capture depth perception , but with more and more of HTC's own devices shifting to the 13mp unit , the company decided to launch a updated version (In China) of the HTC M8 called the HTC M8 Eye , which is basically a reference to the Desire Eye launched yesterday . The phone is not made official as of now , but it has been put on a Chinese website as a Pre order item .The phone will feature the M8's aluminium design , but the rear cameras have been swapped to the 13mp standard . The M8 eye , which is China only at the moment , might go global when the time is right and when people who bought the original M8 won't feel burned.

Then, just a few days ago, the company launched the HTC One, which is going to be the company’s only One-branded handset this year, a make-or-break kind of project for the Taiwanese Android maker that’s still having a tough time fighting against the competition, especially Samsung. We were under the impression that HTC will further invest in its One brand and not budge to carrier demands anymore when it comes to changing the name of the product – in the U.S., AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile are going to sell it as the HTC One. But it looks like things aren’t necessarily so, and no, it’s not Verizon that’s going to get its way selling the One as the Droid DNA Plus, as it was recently rumored. We’re looking at China Mobile this time around, which has announced the HTC One as the HTC TD 101. That’s certa...
