Finally, the HTC One M8 flagship smartphone has been made available in India and interested users are required to shell out almost Rs 50,000, if they wish to lay their hands on this gadget. It can be picked up via multi-brand authorized retail channels as well as select online portals across the country.
The HTC One M8 comes across as one of the toughest competitors of the Samsung Galaxy S5, and their prices are also on par with each other. The M8 has been fitted with a 5-inch multi-touch screen of 1280 x 1080p resolution as well as a 5MP webcam to facilitate video conferencing on the move. And its rear panel features a Duo camera that includes an Ultrapixel camera as well as another secondary snapper.
Although the phone arrives in memory configurations of 16GB and 32GB, only the former seems to be available in the country as of now. And there’s an option to increase its storage further by up to 128GB using a compatible memory card. 2GB of RAM has been tossed into the mix as well and the phone relies upon a 2.3GHz quad core Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor. The handset claims to cough up the juice for talk time if about 20 hours in the 3G mode.
The HTC One M8 is up for grabs via Flipkart for a slightly discounted price of Rs 48,120 in India.
