While there are quite a lot of selling points with which HTC can market its new flagship One (M8), there is now one more achievement which the company can add - the lowest display latency.

According to tests performed by Lesnumeriques.fr, the HTC One (M8)'s average touch response time has been measured as 46 milliseconds. This, according to the Lesnumeriques, makes the One (M8) the fastest tested mass-market smartphone so far. Usually display latency (average touch response time) is measured in milliseconds, and usually ranges between 80ms and 250ms in most modern smartphones. Notably, the display latency is usually larger in tablets.

According to Android Authority, the HTC One (M8) is nearly 40 percent faster than the iPhone 5s, which reportedly has an average touch response time of 75 milliseconds. Before the HTC One (M8) hit the test beds, the fastest touch response time on a smartphone was 63ms on the Samsung Galaxy Note 3.

The report adds that when the similar test was conducted on a range to tablets, the Kindle Fire HD (2013) and the Nexus 7 (2013) scored 114ms to 135ms respectively. The Microsoft Surface RT scored slightly better, at 92ms.

Notably, the all-new HTC One (M8) comes with a 5-inch full-HD display and will be available in 16GB and 32GB storage options, with support for expandable storage via microSD card of up to 128GB capacity.
