htc one e8 release date

Well it seems that the rumormongers were right again as the Taiwanese firm has recently lifted the curtains on the HTC One (E8). From the specs standpoint, the HTC One (E8) doesn’t differ much from its metal-clad sibling. But in order to create a slight distinction between the two, HTC has dropped some of the features found on its current torchbearer like the IR Blaster and the use of a 13MP BSI camera with f/2.2 lens for the One (E8)’s rear camera instead of the dual-lens setup seen on the M8. However, in exchange for these the HTC One (E8) got an extra SIM card slot which is a more preferred feature for the specific market that it’ll cater to. Samsung is preparing its next major software release, One UI 8.5, and dozens of Galaxy devices are already confirmed to be included in the update rollout for 2026. What’s new in One UI 8.5 Samsung’s upcoming update introduces several visual and functional improvements across the system. Nothing OS 4 based on Android 16 has been rolled out with the Nothing Phone (3) first to receive the update.
