HTC Announces the One (E8), a Plastic Version of the Company’s (M8) Flagship

A new HTC device was announced late last evening, the HTC One (E8). The device is being prepared for Asian markets, so Americans should not get too excited over its debut. The device is made of a polycarbonate unibody frame, making the device much lighter than the One (M8). In fact, the device features quite the little spec sheet, making it much like the One (M8), except minus the UltraPixel camera and metal body. 

For specs, the One (E8) features a 5″ 1080p display, Snapdragon 801 processor, 2GB of RAM, 13MP rear-facing camera (say what?), 5MP front-facing camera, 2,600mAh battery, 16GB of on-board storage, BoomSound speakers, and runs Android 4.4+ with Sense 6 on top. All in all, it seems to be a plastic version of the One (M8) flagship device.

HTC has the One (E8) slated for a late June release in select markets, coming in four colors – Polar White, Electric Crimson, Maldives Blue, and Misty Gray.
