HTC One M8s boasts Android Lollipop, metal build for the midrange

It may sound like a variant on last year’s One M8 phone, but this new HTC One 8s is its own mix of new and revisited features on a midrange handset whose design hearkens to both the M8 (and therefore, to this year’s M9 as well).

The M8s is no “mini” device. Its 5-inch screen and curved, metal body are pretty much full-size. That display also comes with a 1,920×1,080-pixel resolution, which is just right for the size. Following the law of diminishing returns, your eyes would have to really strain to notice major sharpness differences between that and the the 5.1-inch Galaxy S6’s 2,560×1,440-pixel display.

HTC cloaks Android 5.0 Lollipop with version 6.0 of its Sense interface, a throwback to the M8 vis-a-vis the M9’s Sense 7.0 OS layer.
