@@comingsoon...5439 ssame... I think I got the m8... dropped this bad boy like 50 times on cold hard concrete and still works like a charm.... they better bring this line up back
Yes , we have to ask which Phone nowadays has BETTER Speakers ? Sony has Stereo-Front Speaker too, but they are not that loud and have less clear bass/highs.
Htc one series is the best smartphone of all times. You can say all you want about the ultrapixel camera but this phone gave me the most desired and satisfied feeling that I can never get anymore with modern smartphones that all lost their identity with generic and similar looks
This was the last phone where phones were exciting with each release, genuine innovation and each manufacturer stood out. We have really plateaued since then
Are u kidding me? Yea we probably have plateaued in terms of design, but not specs. Flagship phones nowadays are superior in all aspects, from software to hardware, even in battery life.
I literally dropped mine out of a window on a second story, watched it bounce down the roofline above the patio, then fall 10+ feet onto concrete....it got nothing but a small scratch on the bottom left corner...
The One M7 is what started my android infection. Shame the M7, M8, M9, Ten, and U12 Ultra could never last a full day on a single charge, even when rooted, rom'ed, and Greenified.
Loved this review! I have an M7 and I refuse to change it for anything else. Stunning to look at, its the most beautiful phone ever made. Upset that HTC never continued on its trajectory. Until something more beautiful comes along, I'm keeping it 😄
We need a "revisiting" series tbh. Not just for phones, but laptops and tablets as well. Laptops probably not in the scope of this channel though. Especially highlighting how much more life you can get from old Androids that people think are obsolete to today's standards by customizing and enhancing unofficially.
This phone was literally The Holy Grail of Android. The pictures I took at this car show back in 2014 are stunning even in comparison w my IPhone 12 ProMax
Was quite impressed with your review on this HTC One M7 smartphone, I'm very sad that some of these companies stop making smartphones, LG being the latest... I want to take this time to thank you on bringing this Company and their smartphones thru a kind memory of what these pioneering companies had in mind when it came to the overall experience. Once again I wanna thank you from one tech enthusiast to another, and until next time✌
I moved to Samsung after my one m7. Funny thing is i still have my m7 and it still works, none of my Samsung still work. It lives on my desk and i use it daily as my tv remote, the only phones ive enjoyed nearly as much as much have been my OnePlus 3t and current 6t. The m7 was a fantastic device
@@ThatShitGood yes it did. I didnt know when i was purchasing it that it did but i noticed a tv app and gave it a try. The power button is an ir blaster
I’ve still got mine in my draw upstairs as a backup phone. Still my favourite phone of all time tbh. I do remember using it for a brief period in 2019 when I broke the screen on my HTC U11, it was dreadfully slow and the battery lasted a few hours at best but it was still a beautiful phone
Great video! I remember the HTC One (M7) was the first mobile phone that caused me to switch from the iPhone to Android. I was so enamored with the design of this phone and the speakers. I thought it was, hands down, the best looking smartphone I'd ever laid eyes on. And I believe it sill is one of the most beautiful mobile devices ever made even by 2024 standards! And the speakers back then bliew me away! And I believe they still hold their own to this day! Thank you for a nice trip down memory lane. BTW, I still have a brand spanking new M7 now in my vintage phone collection. I'll pull it out every now and then and you know what? It's still one of the best feeling handsets to hold EVER!
The HTC One M7 was my first true smart phone :). Always loved Blinkfeed. That, and the M7's metal and volume design was just perfect. HTC could have been great
Unbelievable that this is already 9 years ago! I loved this phone so much for it's visual design, but hated it for it's software and usability. This design is really iconic, if there was a remake of this phone with modern hardware, I would immediately buy it.
I own the red and black versions of this phone today and I have very similar thoughts.the red is by far still one of my favorite colors and designs on any phone.im typing this on my new galaxy s 22 ultra...white 512 gb.i own over 100 phones and the HTC one m7 is still one of my favorites. Thanks for the video. Loved the throw back.
I did get an htc One M7 after my Galaxy S with plastic rear cover that would pop out and drop the battery if the phone fall. after the contract I replaced with Moto X , that I replaced with an htc 10 !!! I think the htc 10 is still one of the best phone ever , wish it would exist exactly like it was but with a 5G network. Now I have and enjoy my Motorola ThinkPhone
I would buy it iffff they would re-release this phone but with same chasis- better internal, amoled screen, full screen ratio, good steady camera and thats that!
This was my first smartphone, I still have it and although the battery isn't that great, I love the HTC Sense 5 UI, Blinkfeed on the left, the integrated beats audio amp, camera app, gallery all had a distinct and significant style and feel to it. I wish HTC was still around to make such awesome phones.
*The HTC One M7 is one of my favorite smartphones I'VE ever owned. Sharp LCD Display, Incredible aesthetic with the appeal of the BOOMY front-facing speakers. It would've been a top 5 ALL time in the 2010s era if:* - They envisioned the ultrapixel a smarter way, and used it in the FRONT instead of the back (like we see in the 10). - Used some way of software pixel binning and used a higher resolution count for normal daytime use, and binned down for more light/clarity at night (Sony did this back then) - *Heat.* I don't know about you guys, but my M7 often got so hot, I, unfortunately, had the purple fringe problem down the road. - Battery life was never good, only subpar, but didn't mind it with the first HTC One. It progressively got worse with its successors though.. Other than that, man, I wish I hadn't given my phone away to a relative..I even had it S-OFF, which was hard to do lol.
These old phones speed up astronomically with a custom OS. I flashed Lineage OS Android 9 on my Nexus 6 a few yrs back and the phone resurrected, zero slowdowns while on google's android 7 the phone was laggy.
My mother died young and before she died I had the HTCM8. She modeled for a photo shoot for me and she used some very beautiful dresses. Having a full manual control, the M8 was wonderful for getting all kinds of different shots at really any angle. Yes I did not like the four megapixels but, when the photos were printed, they came out amazing. Really the only time the four megapixels was a problem was when cropping in. Outside of that, she was never happier with the photos. Especially since some of them thanks to HTC being able to take full resolution photos before hitting the shutter button by cashing the photos, which mind you even modern phones, don’t do cashing with full resolution, but thanks to that, I even managed to get some sneaky shots of her , as she was making decisions on how to pose and what props to use. And because it were natural photos, since I didn’t have time to really think, they came out amazing. The camera was amazing even nowadays it still holds up as long as you don’t crock and you don’t Need to blow the image up. Let’s face it, most people don’t even print images much less print them large. If they print, it’s usually going to be a 2 x 3 or a 4 x 3. The rest of the time they put them on social media and social media is always around 3 to 4 megapixels. so all you get is a compressed kind of potato version of what the HTC gives you. HTC gives you four clean megapixels and Facebook will give you four potato pixels lol.
The gunmetal M8 was such a great looking rugged design. I'd kill for the same design on a modern flagship. Same with the grey LG V10 with the metal side rails
Don't forget , the power button doubled as a IR blaster and google had a play version that ran stock android. Mine was rooted to run both sense and the stock android with a reboot.
I had the sprint one and loved it, just had everything I needed and did it well with no issues. Excellent battery life, badass headphone amp on the 3.5 jack, the speakers sounded better than my tv and the screen was bright and beautiful, the software was smooth and fast, it’s like they cared about the experience of the phone both with hardware and software, the keyboard was perfect, the radio modem made having sprint actually a good experience being so high end at the time, the camera wasn’t the best but acceptable, I still have it but it’s falling apart and barely boots cause how old the battery is
I ordered one of these in Australia and the seller just completely botched delivery (delayed for like months). Eventually, gave up and called HTC because I REALLY wanted the phone. They passed me up the chain until an HTC employee literally just delivered one to my house and told me to cancel my order with the seller. I haven't had another HTC since (I love my pixels) but I've gotta tell you, that stuck with me. Amazing service.
Omg.....I really wanted HTC phone back in the day but they were so expensive here where I live! My friend had the M7 and omg it was such an awesome phone!
This phone, just like Nokia 3310, has a special place in part of my tech heart, not only because I won it as a prize, but it was a masterpiece holding it in a hand.
I got the HTC One Max and it changed the way I buy phones. I have never bought a phone since without stereo speakers and up until recently I made sure they were all front facing. Sadly front-facing isn't much of an option anymore with today's flagships. Although I've got to say the speakers on my Z Fold 2 Rock considering they are not front facing. Great video, it was a blast from the past!
The M7 was my favorite Android device. When it came out it really turned some heads. The design of the device was years ahead of its time. unfortunately, you can't find a beautifully made device like this, and with the rise of wireless charging, I doubt we will see any metal device like this for a long time.
Late 2023 check in here. Loved this phone! I think about it often when I think about when phones were fun. Fun and not just "which has the biggest this? Which the fastest that?" That cold touch in the morning feeling a solid built smooth and beautiful piece of art that happened to also offer the best available. (especially in the UI area) Especially during the era or cartoony and toy feeling Samsungs. It just FELT premium. One can only hope a modern manufacturer takes this approach and knocks it out the park! 🤞
I'm still using it! I love it so much since 2013 that i have learnet how to fix it every time with little expensive replacing part finded on ebay. Actually i have 4 m7, 2 working, 2 for parts. Android 5 still work well and the sense 6 in the best interface i have ever experienced on a phone. At work i use Huawei Android 9/10, it's a cheap toy in front of my htc one m7 😂
I feel lucky i lived those great times in HTC Phone had that X one and S one and both where amazing with way better cameras than 90 % of phones. Great video.
The front facing speakers and ultrapixel PAVED THE WAY..I just wish they used the 4MP for the front then find a way to use that binning technique for the back 😤😤
The m7 and m8 changed everything, they helped HTC become one of the first companies to genuinely start competing with apple back in the day. Won't ever forget my sensation xe with beats 😢❤️
I LOVE this phone and I still have it and use it. I’m with you when you say this was one the best Android devices. This phone is my alarm because the speakers are SO loud; not even my iPhone will wake me up 100% of the time. Plus, the IR blaster?! It’s also my TV remote because the one that came with my TV broke. I wish HTC would come back with a device like this.
My HTC one m7 was my main phone and personal wifi hotspot until yesterday, from 2014-dec.2023!!! The battery has swelled up, and I have already found and purchased all the OEM parts to replace the battery, the silver aluminum back and the usb charging port. Hopefully I can resurrect this classic excellent phone!
Can confirm, I had this phone and LOVED it at the time. Only problem is by the end of my use of the phone the camera got screwed up and gave all the pictures a purplish tint
I LOVED my M7, even with its broken camera and shitty battery life i ran everything on this, sense, the google play edition rom, MIUI 7, Flyme OS this body with a full screen display and i would buy it again in a heartbeat
What a beautiful device. One of the best phones ever! I had the M8 which was pretty much the same device. An M8 video would be great! One of the first phones with more than one camera.
One of the best looking, feeling, and sounding phones of its time. Anytime i mention my all time phones, the M7 is in the conversation. How I miss those htc phones!
i totally agree with you, HTC back then was a true amazing piece of art, the boom sound, 3.5, camera was unique (or at least back then), the design and lastely the softoware. sense5 and its weather, clock, everything is where it should be.
I had that phone and absolutely loved it. But when the update came the camera turned purple when it was dark. But than I leant it to a family member and completely forgot about it. Told the person to take care of it but then about three or four months later I found the protective OtterBox case broken outside but no phone to be found. I was truly upset they didn’t take care of that phone.
Watching this on my HTC One M9. I use it as a secondary device to my RAZR 5G. With a custom ROM these One M series phones are actually quite usable in 2021.
I absolutely love that you did this video. I own the red gray and black versions of the one m 7 and I totally agree with uou...the red m7...still one of the best looking phones ever.thank you for the awesome content!!! And yeah...would love a video on the red one m8!!!
Enjoyed making video, would you guys want to see a “revisited” series? If so what should we cover next?
Nexus 5
Sony Xperia Z series
moto x
Alcatel Flash 2
Nokia N9
This design is timeless. I still like it today.
I'd agree if the bezels were a lot slimmer.
This is the most comfortable, handy phone ever made. The speakers were so badass back then ❤️
Really miss the true HTC dna
Droid DNA was cool too, sad HTC isn't really big in the smartphone market.
I am looking this video with HTC One M8 Eye😃
Still in very perfect condition😎

Still don’t understand how it didn’t become the standard….

I know the speakers where insane
I have them in One Plus 7 pro. Hidden under screen. But yes M7 was the best phone I had.
Htc one series is the best smartphone of all times. You can say all you want about the ultrapixel camera but this phone gave me the most desired and satisfied feeling that I can never get anymore with modern smartphones that all lost their identity with generic and similar looks
The Note 3 and Lg V20 may have something to say about that.

I miss dual front facing speakers.
Sony Xperia 5 mkii
You'll need to look for the latest Sony phones
Pixel xl 2 was the best when it came to front facing speakers
iPhone
I daily a 1 mark II. The speakers are good.
I miss phones like this. Hopefully HTC can make a One series again and bring this design back.
This was the last phone where phones were exciting with each release, genuine innovation and each manufacturer stood out. We have really plateaued since then

@@KeNNiiezAcC yes but in terms of what they offer to you as a user they have. Specs don’t mean anything unless they improve the user experience
The M8 was the complete package, I actually miss the aluminium build. That phone was a tank!
Yes, indeed!
I literally dropped mine out of a window on a second story, watched it bounce down the roofline above the patio, then fall 10+ feet onto concrete....it got nothing but a small scratch on the bottom left corner...
Ahhh, the days when phones were actually exciting. We should never forget the durability of these aluminum beauties

Same, i left iPhone for this and never been back since
The camera on this phone was absolute garbage, but I still have fond memories of using this lol
Lol you should have tried the M9.
But this phone is legit a better phone for listening to music even compare to a 2020 iPhone.
The M7 was my favorite phone that I've ever had. Blink Feed was my favorite aspect
I HAD THIS PHONE 😭 It was the blue version and I loved it so much. I remember feeling so cool with my speakers, metal build, and 1080p display.
Currently watching this on TV and the M7 kept on the shelve above it like a masterpiece. You can't beat that design 💯
Loved this review! I have an M7 and I refuse to change it for anything else. Stunning to look at, its the most beautiful phone ever made. Upset that HTC never continued on its trajectory. Until something more beautiful comes along, I'm keeping it 😄

This will always be my all time favorite 😍
This phone was literally The Holy Grail of Android. The pictures I took at this car show back in 2014 are stunning even in comparison w my IPhone 12 ProMax
This is the phone I left the iPhone 5 for. Those speakers!! 🔥

Nice video, it's good to see older smartphone is being revisited. I'm interested for the next video
I miss these days I use to work At T-mobile back then and every phone looked different unlike now everyone has the same looking phone
This device was impressive at its time. So beautiful and original. I remember that year very fondly, because really nice phones came out

HTC one M7 and One x plus were well designed, stylish
Absolutely
Thanks for posting this ❤️. Missing htc so badly. Nothing can come close to this design
One of the most beautiful phones ever! I dreamed about it years ago, but couldnt afford it
I used to own the m7 and the m8. I miss these phones.

The HTC M7 was the peak for HTC. The desires were great too. The M8 was the start of the end… ☹️
Yup, when the M9 came along, it started to go down since then.
True, they did peak with the M7. The M8 was good but underwhelming
Watching this on U11 plus. The security on theHTCs is top notch.
The software is well protected.
Form factor also top notch
I did get an htc One M7 after my Galaxy S with plastic rear cover that would pop out and drop the battery if the phone fall. after the contract I replaced with Moto X , that I replaced with an htc 10 !!!

This phone is my alarm because the speakers are SO loud; not even my iPhone will wake me up 100% of the time. Plus, the IR blaster?! It’s also my TV remote because the one that came with my TV broke. I wish HTC would come back with a device like this.
I had this phone from 2014 until 2016. It was the best phone ever.
One of my favorite phones of all time!
HTC One (M7) and other Android flagships during those days were the golden days for tech enthusiasts.
I still have it. Its still like new. Undistructable phone. Best phone i have ever owned. 👌👍
My HTC one m7 was my main phone and personal wifi hotspot until yesterday, from 2014-dec.2023!!!
The battery has swelled up, and I have already found and purchased all the OEM parts to replace the battery, the silver aluminum back and the usb charging port. Hopefully I can resurrect this classic excellent phone!
Can confirm, I had this phone and LOVED it at the time. Only problem is by the end of my use of the phone the camera got screwed up and gave all the pictures a purplish tint
I was waiting for someone to say this
I remember when i was 14, my dad had bought me this phone. Back then I didn’t really know much about phones but man the m7 was such a beast❤
Owned this phone, and was the best!! Especially, the front facing speakers.
I LOVED my M7, even with its broken camera and shitty battery life
i ran everything on this, sense, the google play edition rom, MIUI 7, Flyme OS
this body with a full screen display and i would buy it again in a heartbeat
When you say "broken camera" do you mean the low light issues?
Front facing high end stereo speakers are superior to a full screen display imo.
What a beautiful device. One of the best phones ever! I had the M8 which was pretty much the same device. An M8 video would be great! One of the first phones with more than one camera.
One of the best looking, feeling, and sounding phones of its time. Anytime i mention my all time phones, the M7 is in the conversation. How I miss those htc phones!
Still have a Sensation XE to be offline music source when I go camping in jungle.
i totally agree with you, HTC back then was a true amazing piece of art, the boom sound, 3.5, camera was unique (or at least back then), the design and lastely the softoware. sense5 and its weather, clock, everything is where it should be.
I had that phone and absolutely loved it. But when the update came the camera turned purple when it was dark. But than I leant it to a family member and completely forgot about it. Told the person to take care of it but then about three or four months later I found the protective OtterBox case broken outside but no phone to be found. I was truly upset they didn’t take care of that phone.
The design of the m7 is timeless! 💕
I gotten this phone when it came out ! Loved it sooooo much I did a presentation on it for my class 😄😄
My favourite phone of all-time. I can't see myself ever loving a phone as much as I loved the M7, it was just so good (apart form the battery!)
The best smart phone that I have ever owned.
Need to see HTC come back with a full metal phone with modern specs, was and still is one of my favorite phones
Watching this on my HTC One M9. I use it as a secondary device to my RAZR 5G. With a custom ROM these One M series phones are actually quite usable in 2021.
So great to come across this clip - htc One is my forever favorite android phone. Definitely missing the feel of the design.
I absolutely love that you did this video. I own the red gray and black versions of the one m 7 and I totally agree with uou...the red m7...still one of the best looking phones ever.thank you for the awesome content!!! And yeah...would love a video on the red one m8!!!
Love your content!
My first android phone was HTC legend and i was a satisfied and happy costumer..
The One M8 is my love! Bring on that review!
