Specs Samsung [...]Talk about an unfortunate day for companies who wanted to keep their products a surprise till the release date. After Samsung had a major boo boo with the AnTuTu specs leaks, its HTC’s time to face some leak music.

Â Holding up to that mark may have been difficult but it looks like HTC might have a real winner here.
Build QualityThree words ; 90 [...]
While India is yet to see the official release of the new HTC One M8, the company is reportedly working on a plastic version of the smartphone.
