The HTC ONE E8 is launched officially now, it comes with a lighter plastic body, a 13 MP Rear Camera and most importantly much cheaper then the HTC ONE (M8). The HTC ONE (E8) still keeps the 2.5GHz Quad-Core Snapdragon 801 processor and 2GB of RAM with 16 GB of internal memory. Also the internal hardware, Boom Sound Speakers and 5’inch display is the same. The only real change is the change of the Duo Ultrapixel Camera set to a a 13MP BSI f/2.2 unit and it gets a lighter plastic cover. For the Launch in China the E8 comes with Dual Sim Slots. On the first slot we get 3G/4G LTE support, the second slot is for 2G connectivity.

 

To review the E8 against other high end smartphones in Malaysia we compared them in above picture. Because of the new plastic cover of the HTC One (E8) it gets 15 grams lighter then the One M8 but its gets thicker 05.mm. Also the E8 doesnt have IR Blaster and MHL connectivity, which you get on the One M8.

Now lets come to the most interesting point for a lot of us, the HTC ONE (E8) price in Malaysia. The E8 will sell for 2800 yuan in China. That would be 1,445 RM in Malaysia and nearly 1000 RM cheaper then the HTC ONE (M8) with the metal case. For this price would you choose the HTC ONE E8 or stay with the M8? For this specs and a price of 1445 RM the E8 is definitely very attractive and can fight even the Oppo Find and One Plus One.
