HTC One (M8 Eye)

The HTC One (M8) (Review | Pictures) is a critically acclaimed device with an iconic design. However, quite a few critics, professional and otherwise, have panned its UltraPixel camera, since competing smartphones take better pictures. HTC's idea was to use a camera sensor with fewer but larger pixels, to capture more light per pixel, but this didn't impress many people. The company then tried to make up for it with another idea, Duo Camera, which used a second lens to capture 3D depth information and enable new photographic tricks. When reviewing the One (M8), we found it to be more gimmicky than actually useful.
