HTC unveils the One M8s with 13MP rear camera and Snapdragon 615 processor

HTC is definitely feeling "More Than One" as it just unveiled yet another smartphone, the One M8s.

According to AnandTech, the HTC One M8s is positioned between the mid-range and flagship segment. On the outside, it looks exactly like the One M8. However, much of the changes are on the inside.

Dimension-wise, the One M8s is almost similar to the One M8 except that it is slightly thicker (9.55 vs 9.35mm). Despite weighing the same at 160g, HTC managed to squeeze in a slightly bigger battery (2,840 vs 2,600mAh) on the One M8s.

Other changes include a Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 octa-core processor (4 x Cortex A53 at 1.7GHz + 4 x Cortex A53 at 1.0GHz), 2GB RAM, Android 5.0 and the latest Sense 7 user interface. It also retains the dual-camera setup, but the rear UltraPixel camera sensor is now replaced with a 13-megapixel f/2.0 camera module (the same as that used on the Desire Eye). The front-facing camera remains at 5 megapixels and comes with an aperture of f/2.8.

The One M8s will be available in several parts of Europe and the retail price in the U.K is £379.99 (estimated to be ~S$764 when converted directly). It is not known at the time of publication whether the handset will be available in Singapore.
