HTC has announced One M8s, a cheaper variant of the One M8 smartphone with the same all-metal unibody design and a 5-inch 1080p display. This is powered by a Snapdragon 615 64-bit Octa-Core SoC instead of Snapdragon 801 and runs on Android 5.0 (Lollipop) out of the box with HTC Sense UI. Instead of HTC One M8’s Ultrapixel camera, this has a 13-megapixel rear camera, but it still has a Duo camera arrangement to capture depth information.
It also has 4G support and is 0.2mm thicker than the One M8, even though the height and width are the same. It also has Dual front-facing stereo speakers with built-in amplifiers and HTC BoomSound technology.
