Bag on HTC all you want...But I bought that first HTC One in 2013, and that phone was the SHIIIIIIT.
sirfeffel
BlackBerry 10 did sweet augmented reality

Pepperidge farm remembers...

So much snark in the comments...
tekkblade
Tech companies like to rip each other off and pretend they always invent the new stuff.
eldwarfoII
Wowzers. That got more eyeballs than expected. Thanks :D Feel free to check out goos3d.ie - it's a hobby I've been at for years. Much love!
Lonecoon
LG G4 has the same feature. it's from 2015.
Ermetu
It was on the LG G2, as well, from 2013.
Belgiddybleh
My daughter is using a four year old iPhone and my sons use 5 year old iPads. They all hold charges just like day one and work great.
DeathStarTrek
I wish they'd revamp the 4. Perfect size.
iamamitten
The best part of all these idiotic "arguments" is people parading snapchat out like it matters. We all know what Snapchat does on android.
usedpatiofurniture
Except Nokia with windows phone did it before HTC
houseofnifty
I also remember when HTC made a profit.
tuxedobob
What is touch to wake?
eldwarfoII
you tap the screen and the phone wakes
madethisaccountjusttocomment
So "innovation" now means releasing 3 year old features? That's a step up for apple. It used to be two years.
tablecat
They didn't claim that touch-to-wake is a new and innovative feature. It's just a feature.
BiggestofBears
It's been like this for the last few generations honestly.
Kitastrophe
Does 'Tap to Wake' mean tapping the screen to get it to turn on? Cuz my LG G Stylo does that and quite frankly, it's a piece of shit.
gamejeepboi
I actually kind of like it .. :( -- Have a G6 now, so don't use the feature because fingerprint sensor, but still was nice
Kitastrophe
It's a great feature. What also would've been a nice feature is functioning GPS, though. It's the phone that's shit, not the tapping.
angelsmannequin
That's LGs own knock feature that they have had forever. Apple just pretty much used the same concept and slapped a new name.
Kitastrophe
So, if history is any indication, in a year Apple will be suing LG for stealing their IP
Ilikestyx
OLED "Super Retina" display tho...
Evi1Gav
Only had that for two years on my Nexus 6p
Photatograms
Lol my pixel has better resolution than the iPhone X
NEEDMORECOW8ELL
My V20's LCD screen has a better resolution
Ilikestyx
:D :O :D :O :D
HandoB4Javert
but can you see it?
tablecat
It's stupidly overkill. Why do people need 1440 on ~5.5", when they don't give a shit about >1080p on computer monitors?
serenityfast
It's not that they don't give a shit, it's just drastically more expensive to make high DPI on a larger panel.
Lurd
Because you don't watch them from the same distance. I used to think the 1440*2880 on my LG G6 was overkill until I saw a 720p phone again.
tablecat
I mean I had the G4 and S7 (also 1440) and I very easily went back to 1080p (Xiaomi Mi5), which is the sweet spot.
Tesla619
Yea that is great....that is why every single phone mimics the iPhone.
racecarbedx
Still prefer iPhone over droid. Tried the s8 brought it back within a week.
NotSoClevery
Same here. I tried 2android phones and just felt meh. with my iTunes library and family stuff it just doesn’t make sense to change.
Neorago
I changed from the S7 to the S8 and want my S7 back. What an annoying phone. But I'd still take it over iPhones. I can't stand iOS.
dogmatix
The s8 is the most annoying droid phone I've owned. Beautiful to look at, annoying as shit to use. Bixby can fuck off. Getting the new sony
GermanCamry
Go OnePlus 5. Essentially stock android. Good performance at a great price.
dogmatix
meh, I don't pay for my phone. I've had a few Sony phones over the years and love them except for some model's fragility.
therealsalvi
its just iOS is so dumbed down its fine for surfing the web and simple shit but i like the ridiculous shit i can get on my droid
lowcaloriedarkness
Subsequently 2014 was also the last time HTC was relevant and something we actually tried to get people to buy for legitimate reasons.
Genini
I loved my EVO. I should look into them again
nitinjoshi
I am quite happy with my htc 10 or should i say htc x .
balcsida
I think Pixel phones are great
lowcaloriedarkness
But pixel, while made by HTC, is all Google's doing, they don't get any credit for that.
balcsida
AFAIK One of the first touchscreen Nokia phones had the same feature (but I'm sure my Lumia 920 had the double tap to wake feature)
TCGView
A grand for the iPhone X? GTFO, this is just retarded now.
MyNameisNotOwl
What's even more ridiculous us that they will be back ordered for months because stupid people will buy them.
MagusGladius
get a OnePlus 5 for half the price
Beelsebooob
Given that any phone plan will knock that down to likely $250, I don't see a big problem.
Lvaneede
$1579 in Australia, or $1829 for 256GB. But I have to admit, it does look very nice
Erevozz
Like phone prices even matter when ur sucked into a plan
TCGView
I haven't been in a contract for over 10 years because of a phone.
SomeGrayFox
They don't offer many phone subsidy plans anymore.
WeatherWiz
To be fair, the galaxy note 8 is almost a grand as well. But the galaxy s8 has so many more features that the iPhone and it's cheaper
ThePodd
Got my S8 for $420 (no joke) because of special from Best Buy.
MOTHERFUCKINGLUCIFERMORNINGSTAR
Note 8 is garbage. No new features and less battery life compared to the s8+ but much higher price
toastytoast99
Isn't it bigger? I have not done any research so I don't know
MOTHERFUCKINGLUCIFERMORNINGSTAR
It's a very slight increase in size and the screen resolution is the same. But it has a smaller battery so battery life is shit
Velexis
Bigger, higher resolution screen, and has a stylus
JeenaLight
I'll be using this for the resulting price drop on all the other models. I'll finally be able to afford a 7S!
MaleTinderSlvt
Is this a joke? Cos there is no 7s they went straight to 8
JeenaLight
Sorry, Autocorrect error. Me and a friend have regularly ranted about the lack of a 7S. I didn't catch the error, sorry!
MaleTinderSlvt
lol no need to be sorry I was just confused if there's a joke I don't get
JeenaLight
There's no joke there, just operator malfunction and an overly enthusiastic program.
barnwolf
I don't get it. It's obviously a new feature for Apple, thus worth being mentioned in their 'new features' section...
barnwolf
Also three year old technology is hardly out of date. That's practically cutting edge for all in tents and pur purses.
governmentgavemeagun
Not in phones, it ain't. 3 years is 2-4 generations old.
barnwolf
Ya, and they are all about the same.
THRILLHOUSE69
Not that Apple isn't worth shitting on, but the HTC isn't doing much better
kevlarbear
Yeah their stocks are down but their phones are certainly quality material. Blame it on their marketing budget.
IainG101
The only reason I swapped from my HTC M8 to a Samsung S7 is because I was mugged, and the store didn't have any decent spec HTC phones
Updoodilydoo
Still rocking an M8 Windows Phone, like it better than my G2, mostly because it can take way more abuse.
Catlore
No, but it's doing it first.
MissMockingbird
Id be typing this on an HTC 10 if it werent for the fact that its a Bell exclusive here.
naturehike
Eris, Rezound, M8, M10. There's a reason I've only owned HTC smartphones. Best features for price.
NotWelcomehere
Pardon? I've had an M8 and have had my m9+ for two years...no issues.
agermanguy
I am browsing imgur on my m7 right now.
Dxb105
Just got an essential. My m8 then my m9 were awesome tough phones. I just don't like the newer ones they have been making
Darjanator
I own a 10 and it's amazing. I miss the stereo speakers, though, but the rest is better in every way.
NotWelcomehere
That is what drew me to them in the first place loved those front facing speakers.
Daloth
HTC has one of the highest ratings per phone of any company. They also make some of the toughest phones. Apple is just Mcdonald's of phones
AbsolutelyNotTheNSA
They're also failing hard as a company. Which isn't fair when you think trash like Apple is worth billions.
Godd0311
Isn't HTC mobile side of things getting naught out by Google?
Daloth
I know they already make a software for their devices with google that is HTC only, so I wouldnt be surprised by that honestly.
SidneyHarbor
Apple is the new IBM. They have standards down to a tee, but their insistence on conformity means they are falling behind innovators.
MechaNinja
Apple is more like Taco Bell in Demolition Man.
varden721
That is the greatest reference I have heard all week.
MechaNinja
You're too kind. But I agree.
JustAGamerDreamin
I can eat at McDonalds for a couple $. Apple products are the most expensive and the least powerful. I don't think that's a good comparison
butteredtoast789
The difference is; most applefanboys dont pay attention to the other ecosystem so these "innovations" Are new...to them
revcleo
I'd say maybe Apple are the Five Guys of burgers? Kinda over priced for what it is, but weirdly popular, and has a fancy machine.
JustAGamerDreamin
lol, that's pretty spot on
thedarksideoftheforce
Except five guys is delicious.
revcleo
Shakeshack is delicious too, about the same price, and they do something unique with their products.
Daloth
Apple are by far the most cheaply made and easiest to fix cost wise. They are Mcdonald's because of their momentous branding.
JustAGamerDreamin
But they're expensive as fuck to buy
Daloth
Why? Marketing and branding.
lethaldoobie
easiest to fix???? wtf are you smoking - i want some
Daloth
You are showing your ignorance on the subject. I can fix 4 Iphones for the cost of any one Samsung. And lets not even talk HTC or Motorolla
tablecat
"Least powerful". You realize that they're industry leaders in phone/tablet CPUs, right? Their CPUs shit all over the competition.
richartz94
If you can give a source on it would be great. Based on my limited research you are incorrect.
JustAGamerDreamin
Apple's A series SoC is good, perhaps even excellent, at what it does. The rest of the components that make up an iphone are trash tier.
JustAGamerDreamin
Basically no RAM, no IR blaster, no microsd card, proprietary "lightning", very low ppi screen, no replacing battery
JustAGamerDreamin
Apple's SoC will lose in every benchmark to a snapdragon, but it's real world performance is very strong thanks to optimization for iphone
