The HTC One M8’s gorgeous aluminum unibody is one of “the top five reasons” why it is better than the Samsung Galaxy S5, according to leaked HTC training material that’s reportedly being distributed to sales representatives in the United States.

The document also refers to the M8’s incredible BoomSound speakers, its nifty touch gestures that are supposed to make it better for one-handed use, and its new Duo Camera.

If you’re a music lover, the BoomSound speakers featured in the new HTC One M8 are just one of the reasons why you should consider this device over its rivals when upgrading this year. And for an even greater listening experiencing, you’ll probably want to get it on Sprint, which is offering an exclusive model with Harman Kardon speakers.

CyanogenMod founder Steve Kondik has been working with OnePlus on the company’s upcoming smartphone for months, and in a new teaser video uploaded to YouTube this week, he finally gets to see the new handset himself for the first time.

You can enjoy the “unboxing” video yourself below, but before you dive in, you should probably prepare yourself for disappointment.

Sprint today rolled out its first software update for the HTC One M8, adding HTC’s new Extreme Power Saving mode. The feature promises longer standby times when you’re low on power, giving you more time to gain access to a power outlet and charger.

While we were anticipating an HTC One M8 mini and M8 max as follow ups to the original this year, this leaked picture of the “M8 Ace” comes as a surprise. Dressed in a vibrant red, it bears a striking resemblance to HTC’s latest flagship, but it might not cost you quite as much.
