    HTC was truly a pioneer in the Android world, and it’s kinda heartbreaking to see how they’re no longer a major player in the smartphone industry. I personally had an HTC One S and a One M8 back in high school, and honestly, they were some of the best phones I’ve ever owned. The build quality, the features, the experience-it was top-notch. If you ever had an HTC phone, drop a comment and share which model you had and what your experience was like. Let’s reminisce about the good old HTC days!

    Thank you for making this documentary really! This reminds me of how much I miss 2017 and my HTC One M7. Their marketing was withdrawn - quiet, there was some sort of spirituality about holding their devices. The way it felt...

    I loved the manual camera controls on my evo 4g and evo 3d. Taking photos with manual controls where just much more fun then the iPhone point and shoot. I even used my old htc to do baby photos and parents loved it.

    My last HTC Phone was the Touch Pro 2. It was fun to use and the touchflo interface was really nice. After physical keyboards went out of style, i was going to get the HTC Max which back then was ridiculously huge, but instead got the similarly massive Samsung Galaxy Note 3 because it had a stylus. Been with Samsung ever since, but I do miss HTC.

    You will be surprised how musical and hi-tech is the HTC 10 with expensive headphones, costing over 1000 EUR. I still keep coming back to it, despite the LG Quad DAC being superior...HTC is musical, forgiving with poor recordings...and still works fantastic with banking, navigation, etc. They can still be found new dirt cheap, sometimes as low as 120 EUR. With minimal apps and a 400GB SD card...a dream phone. I bought over 9 flagships from different brands and I swear by this phone, a true masterpiece. I visited showrooms and even listened to it with Focal Utopia, Denon AH-D9200...a masterpiece. The Sony NW-A55 walkman DAP, even with the modded firmware, gets annihilated by the HTC 10 in every way.

    - 10 years ago, it's Redmi who started teaching us meaning of 'Android smartphone'.
    - Big companies : Sony, Lg, HTC, Blackberry, Asus, Nokia, Micromax also have failed in indian smartphone market.
    - it's not easy to beat "Chinese / South Korean" smartphones in 🇮🇳.

    I got the m8 and did some photos with my model mom. They came out great despite being 4mp. I loved it. I blew those shots up and she put them in her office. Good phone. Not great but good indeed. When htc went to the m9 and then other crap, it was obvious, htc was over.

    The one m8 was a beautiful phone. They were doing the whole non removable battery premium feel before other android phones were. The speakers were really good. There was also a pure android version as well. This was back when people did not like bloatware on their phones and computers. Funny how things have turned out to be a decade later. Nobody cares about pure android anymore. This was also during the year when samsung came out with the s4 which people made fun of for looking like a literal band aid lol because of its dimpled back design.

    • @365VideoVault
      @365VideoVault  4 дні тому

      I think it’s because premium phones are much faster theses days so no one really cares bloatware. And in all honesty, I’m proud of how far Samsung has come, in my opinion they were the king of bloatware 😅. Thanks for commenting it means a lot .

      But they weren't brilliant, they were just quiet.
      Samsung made better hardware on cheaper price, kept on with the innovation as they created amoled and flexible display while marketed their phone well.

    Android, at least in its truest form, died with HTC....and maybe you can also say Nexus devices. Now its REALLY just for Samsung diehards who have it simply to say they dont have an iphone...even though Samsung is now copying iOS.
