HTC quietly launches the One M8 Eye, but don't get too excited

n the run up to the HTC Desire Eye announcement we saw
rumours suggesting a One M8 moniker may also be in the
mix. Turns out, those reports were correct.
HTC has taken the covers off yet another handset - this time
in the form of the HTC One M8 Eye - which looks pretty
much identical to its flagship namesake.
In fact, the only difference between this and the five-star
HTC One M8 is the fact the Taiwanese firm has ditched the
4MP UltraPixel camera on the rear and replaced it with a
13MP lens.

The Duo camera remains, with a second depth of field
sensor on the rear allowing you to perform tricks such as
background defocus.
The One M8 Eye inherits the Eye Experience software from
the Desire Eye, but apart from that its business as usual for
this M8 spin-off.
But there's some bad news if the One M8 Eye has caught
your eye: it's only been launched in China (where it will go
on sale on October 15) and it looks unlikely that it'll make
its way out of Asia.
