We’ll have more on the price (which is believed to be around £379.99) and actual availability soon, possibly, with our own hands-on review also. From a personal viewpoint, I’d just buy last year’s M8 or save up more money and get the M9 instead. From what I can tell the design is near identical to last year but with 64-bit and a 13MP camera on the back.

Any of our readers looking to pick up the One M8s? Leave a comment below or on our social streams.(Specs and images are from an official HTC rep)
