I agree. HTC better step their camera game up when the M9 comes out. And I don't mean this 13MP Duo camera shooter they have out now. They need to scrap that Duo Camera, get back to OIS, and keep Ultra Pixel just bump it up to 8MP. Apple has discovered 8MP is the sweet spot. Also, there is talk of optical zoom that they are working. They can't be messing around with an also ran camera this time.
Has anyone had their M8 mistaken for an iPhone 6 yet?

When did the camera become the most important thing on a CELL PHONE? These are communication devices. The camera was thrown in some time back as a gimmick to get people to buy "their" brand of cell phone. Just think of what these things can do...text, email, search the web, play music, stream music, pay bills, buy stuff (we don't need), watch TV and movies, stream movies, create and edit documents, take photographs etc., etc., and wonder of wonders...they can even make phone calls to nearly every spot on the globe. And on top of that, if you want to know where you or anyone else is located on the globe you have a GPS. It's nearly a miracle that these things even work as good as they do...and yet, the biggest complaint is about the camera? If you want to take pictures that you can blow up to the size of your living room wall then buy a camera that is designed for such a thing. A cell phone camera is designed to show the pictures it takes on a cell phone screen. The M8 is capable of taking outstanding pictures in auto mode, and if you know what you're doing the manual settings makes it even better. This is the best phone money can buy right now. Be glad you were smart enough to purchase one.
Your post makes no sense. Camera has become standard. The competition has better cameras. What's your point?

^^^This.
And about the camera, the one on M8 is good, I've taken a bunch of great pics with it on vacation and other trips. But at times I do wish it have 8MP or more. And for the GPS, I don't know any of you have really used it in places you're not familiar with (nobody talks about it herre). I was truly amazed by the speed (the phone processor) and the accuracy (the GPS receiver must be the latest version and installed so properly that it's not interfered by the phones metal body) and the Google Map's all around capacity. e.g. Approaching a highway exit, the map would automatically zoom in gradually and timingly as you approach. And when you miss a turn, it already gets you a recalculated route already in like a sec.

Sure it does...it makes as much sense as people complaining about how bad the camera is. Then get another PHONE if you don't like the camera. People are never satisfied. I can see it now...in a few years our cell phones will be able to beam us up to our star ships and there will be someone complaining that "XYZ brand can do it faster and with less static cling in my clothes! And the camera still stinks!"
So my point is that the M8 is arguably the best communications device you can get, and people still complain. The perfect phone does not exist and it never will because the day it does is the day people stop buying new phones and the economy collapses for those who design, manufacture, and sell these devices. The end.

So people can't comment on what features need work even on a good phone? Strange, I thought this was a forum where people could express their opinions about all features of their phones.

Same here, had a few coworkers who all have iPhones think it was a 6 plus. I found it funny.

Happened to me on Thursday. I said no, but that's one, and pointed to my wife's phone that actually is an iPhone 6. I am super jealous of the camera in her iPhone 6.
Umm why? Sgs4 and Sgs5 are way cheaper and have better megapixels lol
The camera has not become the standard. Where are you getting your info from? Well, your opinion I suppose. Actually the number one thing that concerns most people and that most people complain about is the phones battery. I don't see why you would want a top of the line $300-$700 camera on an already outrageously priced phone. Do you people not realize that in itself would raise the price even higher? The camera on most phones is more than enough. As Jaseman stated, the camera is designed to show the pics it takes on the phone itself. I don't rely on my phones camera, sure it's nice to have because of conveince alone but it's not my first go to. The smartphone does so much and yet the CAMERA, that does nothing more than take pics and video is what most people complain about. Y'all make me laugh.
You can't ignore the direction that other manufacturers are making. There is a reason HTC has ditched UltraPixels going forward. I am actually looking forward to the M9 because of that.

They haven't ditched anything, they've put cheaper sensors in cheaper phones
