HTC One M8 with WP 8.1 consumes battery more economically than Android version

HTC has demonstrated a good example of ingenuity and the search for additional ways to increase the sales of its flagship smartphones. In particular, the last HTC One M8 - in New York last night, the company introduced a version of the top model in a variation with Windows Phone 8.1. Compared to the Android version, there are no special differences (about autonomy - later), with one exception - the new product will be sold only in the version with 32 GB of memory.



While WP-smartphone will be sold only on the terms of a contract with the US operator Verizon, that is, in an exclusive order.

However, the "monopoly" will not be eternal, the head of HTC in North and South America, Jason Mackenzie, has already found out: later this year, the model will appear in other operators. On the other hand, there were no encouraging clarifications on sales outside the United States.





At the same time, Jason called the event a landmark event - they say that the same device on different operating systems is worth offering, having managed to avoid compromises. The promotional price of the device is $ 100, the model is compatible with all the accessories of the “original”, including the HTC Dot View.





In addition to making a variety in such an unusual way, HTC threw another curious reason for discussion. As it turned out, the claimed autonomy of versions with WP and Android differs - if the variation based on the Microsoft system allows you to talk on your smartphone for 22 hours, then with Android you can count on a maximum of 20 hours. There is a difference in standby mode, 528 hours versus 496 hours.



Meanwhile, GSMArena reviewers have already shared their impressions of the WP version. The material can be read here , also cite a small video review of their own authorship.
