I loved my M8 even though it would overheat and kill itself. I went through three because they kept replacing them for me lol

Crazy, my one x and m8 still work great (just outdated hardware and batteries don't hold much of a charge)

The M8 was perfect in every way. I never had any overheating problem, probably because I didn't play games on it. But every single thing about it was exactly what I wanted. I bought an M9 plus and it was worse in every single way. It's like they found out about Market Segmentation and then destroyed their own product.

My M8 did the same! First one was a battery swell up until death. Then they replaced it and the second one’s charging port burned up. Gave up on it at that point.

The M7 was beautiful. It was really the only android phone that felt premium in the hand back in those days.

Their UI was completely unmatched even compared to today. Everything was so intuitive, also their laser camera focus made for the best video experience I've ever had in a phone. Sigh. Another thing Google destroyed.

And the Vive sets, and the Valve Index. They're very relevant in VR.

HTC does not manufacture the Valve Index. That is manufactured by Valve themselves.

I don't know about the manufacturing, but they definitely jointly designed it.

Literally the best. I sold phones at around that time and they were waaayyyy ahead of the game.

Honestly. The incredible 2 was my first smartphone 10-12 years ago. Loved it.

I had the HTC with the front facing speakers and the ultra pixel camera. It rocked.

God I miss the front firing speakers on the One. Best damn phone speakers ever

Beautiful phone. Convinced me to switch to Android at the time. I’ve since returned to Apple

Came here just to add onto this comment. I used to be a die-hard android fan back in the day, and HTC was always at the top of my list. The Droid Eris on Verizon was so buttery smooth compared to anything else at the time. It’s a shame they’ve kind of left that space for all intents and purposes
