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. Without the iPhone, we would not have seen the likes of Samsung Instinct, Omnia i900, HTC Touch Diamond, LG Dare and Sony-Ericsson Xperia this early. I had 4 most likely candidates as a great iPhone alternative -- the HTC Touch Diamond, Nokia N96, Samsung i900 Omnia and the Sony-Ericsson Xperia. Some specs, like that of the iPhone's processor and RAM/ROM are not totally confirmed and were based on pieces of hardware clues taken from disassembled parts. I had mixed feelings after trying out the HTC Touch Dual phone several weeks ago.
