The HTC One M7 paved the way for high-quality and premium-designed android handsets. Given this, I wanted to re-visit the One M7 to see what made it so great.

Enjoyed making video, would you guys want to see a “revisited” series? If so what should we cover next?
One of the best phones I ever had. The cold metal feel was amazing. Would love to have this with the latest OS in 2024.
My first phone ever 😭 those were days
I would buy it iffff they would re-release this phone but with same chasis- better internal, amoled screen, full screen ratio, good steady camera and thats that!
If htc made a new version of the M7 I'd switch back to Android so quick
It is now 2024, and I still believe that the HTC One M7 is where phone design peaked. Wish they'd revive it with new specs.
I did get an htc One M7 after my Galaxy S with plastic rear cover that would pop out and drop the battery if the phone fall. after the contract I replaced with Moto X , that I replaced with an htc 10 !!!
I think the htc 10 is still one of the best phone ever , wish it would exist exactly like it was but with a 5G network. Now I have and enjoy my Motorola ThinkPhone
My mother died young and before she died I had the HTCM8. She modeled for a photo shoot for me and she used some very beautiful dresses. Having a full manual control, the M8 was wonderful for getting all kinds of different shots at really any angle. Yes I did not like the four megapixels but, when the photos were printed, they came out amazing. Really the only time the four megapixels was a problem was when cropping in. Outside of that, she was never happier with the photos. Especially since some of them thanks to HTC being able to take full resolution photos before hitting the shutter button by cashing the photos, which mind you even modern phones, don’t do cashing with full resolution, but thanks to that, I even managed to get some sneaky shots of her , as she was making decisions on how to pose and what props to use. And because it were natural photos, since I didn’t have time to really think, they came out amazing. The camera was amazing even nowadays it still holds up as long as you don’t crock and you don’t Need to blow the image up. Let’s face it, most people don’t even print images much less print them large. If they print, it’s usually going to be a 2 x 3 or a 4 x 3. The rest of the time they put them on social media and social media is always around 3 to 4 megapixels. so all you get is a compressed kind of potato version of what the HTC gives you. HTC gives you four clean megapixels and Facebook will give you four potato pixels lol.
Still the best looking phone ever
I missed when smartphone used to looks like these. Curved back and unibody regardless if its plastic or aluminum because not everyone uses wireless charging.
My HTC one m7 was my main phone and personal wifi hotspot until yesterday, from 2014-dec.2023!!!
The battery has swelled up, and I have already found and purchased all the OEM parts to replace the battery, the silver aluminum back and the usb charging port. Hopefully I can resurrect this classic excellent phone!
Late 2023 check in here.
Loved this phone! I think about it often when I think about when phones were fun. Fun and not just "which has the biggest this? Which the fastest that?" That cold touch in the morning feeling a solid built smooth and beautiful piece of art that happened to also offer the best available. (especially in the UI area) Especially during the era or cartoony and toy feeling Samsungs. It just FELT premium. One can only hope a modern manufacturer takes this approach and knocks it out the park! 🤞
My fold 5 cover screen remonds me of the M7. Maybe thats why I love it so much.
The first android phone that I threw $500 CAD at which was a lot back in the day for a phone 😄
i love that phone i use to have it but i was to adictede
My favorite device, so many pioneering features.
Ugh I miss og htc. These phones are so good !
I used this mobile set it's really beautiful mobile set still i love its feature but it would get heat in very high temperature this was its bad side.
Just wondering if you were able to get a sim card working on the phone?
I'm trying to use it to make and receive calls only.
Thanks
The phone was simply ahead of it’s time in SO many ways
HTC one M8. Nostalgia
My favourite phone of all-time. I can't see myself ever loving a phone as much as I loved the M7, it was just so good (apart form the battery!)
HTC was just brilliant!I miss the courage and invation of LG.
I remember when i was 14, my dad had bought me this phone. Back then I didn’t really know much about phones but man the m7 was such a beast❤
This phone were important part of my life
I had that phone and absolutely loved it. But when the update came the camera turned purple when it was dark. But than I leant it to a family member and completely forgot about it. Told the person to take care of it but then about three or four months later I found the protective OtterBox case broken outside but no phone to be found. I was truly upset they didn’t take care of that phone.
