This is the M8s, not the high end M8.
Weaker camera and processer.

"Android phones have had their day" poor quality trolling. But I am intrigued to hear your take on who's day it is now?

How is it?

It says its the M8s clear in the title.

£200 is the right price, same as the Moto X Play with the same CPU and basic specs.

still think it's £50 too much for 2014 tech.

​Linux? Windows? Norton Commander? DOS? Who knows?!

This is no longer listed on the Argos site.

Actually if you were to read the reviews they're saying the battery has increased capacity over the M8, the camera is better AND the processor should perform about the same.

Yes, according to IDC, in Q2 of 2015 'Android dominated the smartphone market with a share of 82.8%' and in Q3 that rose to 84.2% - Google must be papping themselves..

searched around London and found plenty of stock in Stratford, Leytonstone and Walthamstow....

Have some left at pips hill basildon and benfleet

Checked Argos stores as usual waste of time false advertising never have any

On paper spec wise I'd agree. Until you need it repaired.....you're really gonna struggle to find a authorised repairer.

You can now get a OnePlus X without an invite for the same price. Better phone in every way

Like most things it's just subjective I guess, reminds me of the 3rd gen Moto G.

You give him too much credit :laughing:

Nah. He's way too adept at being subtle and winding people up. I'm pretty sure the name is a play on the football fans who declare that there local club is their entire life and other such silly comments they make.

"Legend" isn't the word I would use :smile:

His username suggests he's a spotty teenager with no clue what's outside his bedroom.

None available for home delivery or at any Argos stores in central Scotland

it's the price it should be given the mid range spec...cold

I nearly would have bought several units and not realised it is not the M8 until delivery...

has anyone actually bought one from Argos at this price ?

why do you think it's a hideous phone?

i had the m8 and apart from the weight it was a cracking phone for the money. Now have the s6 and that is a definite step up.

i think that the HTC one S (with the added S) would have had a better spec than the ordinary HTC one which is not the case.

I don't agree with the HTC one comment though. It's like samsung galaxy used for s1-s6

with HTC ONE its m7-m9. don't be fooled by the term ONE to mean phone version. Look to m7, m8 or m9 for that.

hope that clears the confusion :smiley:

I have the s6 and to be honest the battery life is quite good lasts me 1.5 days of moderate use easily. I think it is an amazing phone (typing from my APPLE MACBOOK PRO)

I would like to know what phone you think has "still got it's days or nights (if your a nightwalker)"

HTC seriously is doing my head in with its naming of their phones.
Too many phones called HTC One. It would have been better if they were called HTC One, Two, Three etc

Only 1 store left with stock in UK :neutral_face:

Indeed.

So they have a new tactic now to make you buy a new one. Simply stop updating the old one.

Which is why I've switched to Nexus after years of Samsung. Nothing wrong with the Note 3. Still a perfectly capable phone and powerful enough for 99% of the people who have one (including me).

Except, there is little to no chance of an official update to Marshmallow as it is an "old" model. (What .... 2 years? GTF!)

OK. Nexus devices will stop getting updates eventually as well, but they tend to get them longer (and certainly quicker) than the skinned versions you have to wait for from the other manufacturers.

Wouldn't be so bad if Lollipop was a decent version of 'Droid. But it's not. At least not the Samsung 5.0 version anyway.

I shall miss my s-pen. But I shall enjoy my up-to-date, not broken, OS far more ...

Mum always said I should go out and get some m8s. Now I'll show her.

This a premium-mid ranger if you can believe that BS category even exist. Essentially you pay for the etal body and great screen, and the awesome design. Spec-wise it mounts the SD615 +Ram+Graphics card of most 2015 midrangers like the BQ M5 or the Moto Play. I own the BQ M5 since the summer as my second phone and even though I love it to bits I'd be hard pressed not to swap it for the m8s if offered a free swap. This design has always been my fav-looking since '14.

Makes my G2 look like humble in comparison.

typing this from my "vintage" 2013 G2. Best bang for buck in the market at that price .

I'm disappointed there was no reference to bones.

Hideous phone but good price.

Android phones have had their day. 2015 was a terrible year for Android phones, apart from Samsung Galaxy S6 (with terrible battery) and Nexus 6P (for Dom Joly).

better give 25 quid more and buy the G4 from voda

You lot fall for the legend that is ChampionshipManager in every single thread :sunglasses:

been no stock anywhere near me (Staffordshire) for weeks and weeks. been after one for the other half

It's a 2014 phone, but still good for the money.

This or the Vodafone smart ultra 6?

The only reason you'd buy this over a SU6 is because you didn't know about the SU6. Or you have Jeremy beadle hands. And if you did, then why the hell would you spend nearly twice the amount. Plus this has a smaller battery. I bet HTC hadn't sold a single unit until now + was £349!! Haha.

Agree with what you say and am in the same position. Not sure though with your last sentence, on the apple forums they seem much more blindly fanatical than the droid ones to me.

Lol! I use android and iOS as daily drivers but to say either of them are running the show is a joke. Android is very poorly optimised and apps are still written with iOS taking priority. Apple are running out of things to do with iOS and the Apple Watch is overpriced. Can't understand the undying love people have for Android. iOS isn't the best at all but at least the iOS community don't feel the need to confess their love for Apple or iOS every 5 mins.

Had an M7, usb port played up, battery now fails to hold a charge then camera screwed up with pinkish glow, and I paid a lot of money for it.

Now I got a redmii note 2 from China for £90 - superb phone takes an sd card, replaceable battery and if it screws up at £90 - I won't complain - spending £500 on a phone that lasts 2 years, 3 years at most is no longer my idea of fun

I think people are starting to realise that they don't have to upgrade their phones every 6 months.

This is the M8s, not the high end M8.
Weaker camera and processer.

Yeah plenty of better mid range phones at this price not to mention second hand flagship ones.

One M8s
http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_one_m8s-7165.php

​Me too. Can i take it back?? cold for the s.

This is a bit of weird phone really, on one hand it has a good screen but on the other it has the same processor as an Xperia M4 Aqua which can/could be had for £99

cold. you can get a 32gb moto x for cheaper.

I think the high heat on this is mainly because of confusion with the flagship HTC One M8, when this is the lesser M8s

You can get a brand new LG G3 from Amazon for pretty much the same price. Proof

Good price

Worth bearing in mind that you can get this phone for £147.99 from http://www.mobilephonesdirect.co.uk with a £12.50 per month contract. It won't suit everyone of course, but on the basis that 1,000 minutes / 2GB data contracts don't get much cheaper than £12.50 anyway (nearest comparable as far as I can see is TalkMobile £10 per month (12 months) for 3,000 minutes and 4GB data), and you're going to need to pay something for a SIM to go in this, it seems a good deal to me.

Horses for courses of course but don't rule out something that isn't at the ends of the £lots up front, £small monthly and £free upfront and £lots monthly scale.

I don't think that's possible on the M8s is it? Only the original higher spec M8 was released as a GPE phone. The M8s is not the same phone.

I cant find stock anywhere!! :-(

This is a 2 year old phone
I wouldn't pay that for a new phone!

Donald Trump.

In a few years we will all have solid gold mobile phones.

is this dual-sim?

Well you can.. You can flash this phone and install the Google play edition version. This is what im currently using plus i get all security updates just like any nexus phone. Super fast phone and battery life is great.

plus £10 Credit voucher makes it £189.99

It's still Android/Google running the show. Apple are overpriced and they break easily if you drop it a couple cms off the ground. Decent phone and amazing price for the M8s (would be epic if you can get rid of HTC sense and make it stock google then this would be EPIC!!!

It's not a lot better than the HTC One (M7) >

http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=5313&idPhone2=7165

still think it's £50 too much for 2014 tech.

Voted hot.
Here's a review which points out the differences rather than looking at kneejerk responses from some of the posts above
http://www.techradar.com/news/phone-and-communications/mobile-phones/htc-one-m8-vs-htc-one-m8s-1290098/2

Voted hot before I read this

If Android phones have had their day....

And only yesterday they said Apple had had their day.

Who's day is it right now??

"Please note item 4629236 has previously been on sale at 219.99"

out of stock

£85 more than a smart ultra 6, no thanks!

The saving shown isn't the true saving as it was on sale at a lower price as you will see the bottom of the webpage states - Please note item 4629236 has previously been on sale at 219.99. So you are really only saving £20 which is still better than nothing but no where near the £150 shown!

awful colour, otherwise good phone

I still think it's overpriced at £200. The specs are also the same as the significantly cheaper VF Smart Ultra 6. I would happily pay more for the better build quality that the HTC M8s offers, but not close to double the price.

http://www.techradar.com/news/phone-and-communications/mobile-phones/lg-finally-acknowledges-g4-boot-loop-problem-and-it-s-offering-a-fix-1313769

Something to be aware of!

There was no s next to M8 in your title. I rather would go to Vodaphone shop. Try get lg g4 for £25 more.

Not as good as an LG G2.

And you can pick one of those up new for about £90 on fleabay.

Still the best price these have been mind.

Misleading. Cold

Nice spec and build. Heat
