Cameras & Photos
But it is easy to choose HTC One M8 over other manufacturer’s Android smartphones currently available. HTC One M8 is the world’s first smartphone to have a Duo Camera that features an all new Ultrapixel Camera and a depth capture providing a new level of photo editing experience to smartphones where the 2D photos are smart enough to differentiate the foreground and backgrounds layers for editing on selected layers. The new editing features include:
- uFocus – Touch the photos to choose what you want to focus
- Foregrounder – Keep the foreground sharp while applying creative filters to the background
- Copy & Paste – Crop out the foreground subject and paste it onto another picture (Only available later this year via a software update)
- Seasons – Add animated snow fall or maple leaves to your photos to create a seasonal photo or video
- Dimension Plus – Create a 3D effect on your photos and save it in another perspective
The new UltraPixel camera can now take better photos under low light and produce super sharp imagery for every shot. The Dual Colour LED Flash offers more natural and beautiful colours. The HTC One M8 also comes a 5 megapixel BSI front camera with wide angle lens and f2.0 aperture, making it fun and easy to take high quality selfies.
