Soon after HTC uncovered its selfie-centric feature referred to as Eye Experience in an event in New York City, the HTC One M8 starts to roll out in Europe with the latest operating system Android 4.4.4 KitKat. This availability in Europe makes lots of the brand’s fans all around the globe wonder when the release in their country would happen.
Leaked information posted on Twitter by someone under the name of LlabTooFeR advised users that the new Eye Experience feature which has been closely associated with the Desire Eye smartphone will now be available on other devices of HTC which includes the One M8. There’s also a leaked video on YouTube which was not recorded in English but was understood as the same thing when translated to the international language.
Known as build 3.28.401.6, the update on HTC One M8 will have a number of enhancements for its camera system. As reported on techradar.com, the camera features include the ability to take snaps of a person using the front-facing shooter. This is known as ‘selfie’ wherein the user would hold the phone still for two seconds. Also, the update will be equipped with voice recognition that will allow taking of photos with the use of the phrase ‘say cheese’. There’s an option to record videos too just with the user saying the word ‘action’. If these innovative extras are not good enough, the update will also allow you to record on the two cameras of the One M8 simultaneously with the feature called Split Capture which isn’t offered in other devices.
The HTC One M8 is HTC’s flagship officially launched last May and has proven itself as one of the most positively embraced smartphones of the company. It did receive a lot of praises because of its curved design that make it a lot more comfortable when held although there are some users who claim that the design made the phone a bit slippery and harder to hold.
While many are saying that the camera system of the HTC One M8 handset is not that good as other phones like Sony and Samsung, the quality of the images aren’t disappointing though. With Eye Experience and the update on its operating system coming to Europe soon, let’s watch out what the M8 can offer and find out if it will be positively received by users or not.
