HTC ONE E8 is available at Rs 32,400.


Review :

To start with, the specifications of this phone blows every other phone in this price range out of the water. Getting a snapdragon 801 processor at this price is amazing. This phone is compromising just on the camera and metal body of the HTC One M8 but who cares! Still this phone comes with a polycarbonate body which is very sturdy. It has all the goodies which it's elder brother (M8) has to offer. At this price it's still any day better than Sony Xperia Z1, Nexus 5 (32GB) and Samsung galaxy S5. 


Pros :

-UI is simple awesome and it make you feel rich.
-2 GB ram is more than enough. Even laptops contain 2GB ram.
-I checked a mobile with a white backcover and seriously i was thinking it wont look good but when i saw the mobile it does look awesome. No fingerprint or dust particles on white backcover phone.
-Mobile comes with NFC.
-Sim1 supports 4G
-HTC Sense 6 is really awesome and features are good but LG G2 comes with lots and lots of features which no other mobile have.
-Very slim and it does comfortable on hands.
-Excellent Display
-Great Build quality
-Good quality speakers
-Great Battery and the Performance is Top-notch.
-The extreme power saving mode can really help your phone go for 15 hours at least , after it reaches 10 % battery , and really will help a lot of people 


Cons :

-No Gorilla glass which I didnt like it if I am paying almost Rs 34000 (checked with the HTC Support guys) and it may attract scratches on screen.
-Sim 2 should support 4G.
-Camera is ok but not great compared to the likes of GS5 or G3
-finding the accessories for this model is very difficult.
