HTC has officially unveiled the HTC One M8s, a smartphone released as a affordable brother of the HTC One M9. HTC One M8s is definitely not a mid-range smartphones but it is neither a flagship as well. HTC One M8s will be available at different regions in Europe, and it will cost £379.99 without any contract in the United Kingdom. Although, there is no word on when it will be available but we can expect it to be out there before the holiday season.

HTC One M8s is very, very similar to the HTC One (M8) when it comes to design. However, it comes with a slight changes under the hood. It features a Full HD in 5” with a resolution of 1920 x 1080, 2GB RAM and 16GB ROM space with micro SD card support, and 13 megapixel dual cameras for the back and a 5 megapixel camera for the selfies. Another major difference is a 64-bit octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 processor, and also an increase 2,840 mAh battery . It will be running on Android 5.0 Lollipop with HTC Sense on top.

It seems the purpose behind its release is how HTC wants to offer interested customers more choices when it comes to their smartphone. HTC One M8s is a better version of One M8 in a sense, as it was highly criticized because of its poor camera. HTC changed the camera in the new version, and quality might be much better this time. Also, its price tag is way cheaper compared to the One M9, so it can also mean that HTC is planning to target the market which cannot afford the flagship version, or other expensive smartphones like the Samsung Galaxy S6.

Huawei Honor 6 Plus will be making its way to UK via Three UK – one of the largest cellular networks in UK will be exclusively carrying it and it will be available in all their stores starting May 1. Also the option to pre-order the smartphone is available as well. Interested consumers can head over to Amazon UK on April 6 and pre-order the smartphone. The device costs £299.99 without a contract, which is actually a fair deal because of the features this smartphone offers.

Huawei Honor 6 Plus comes with a 5.5-inch 1080p touchscreen, a HiSilicon Kirin 925 SoC Octa-core CPU, 3GB of RAM, a unique camera with dual 8 MP units, combining to capture 13 MP images, also it has a front 8MP camera as well so a user can take HD selfie. Other than that it features a 32GB of internal storage, dual-SIM support, Cat.6 LTE connectivity, and a 3,600 mAh battery. The only drawback would be that it is running on Android 4.4 KitKat, which might be considered as an old version of Android by a lot of people.

Huawei is one of the strongest Chinese brands in the world, and smartphones are actually not their expertise, but their recent additions to their smartphone line has proven that they are no less then other Android OEMs. Of course, they don’t have the same status as Samsung or HTC, but the way they are gaining and making entry in to other international markets, there is a chance in near future that they might turn out to be a threat for huge Android OEMs. The biggest advantage Huawei has is that their devices are relatively cheaper than other Android smartphones, and it is not because the phone has outdated specs. It seems Huawei motto is “strong from the inside, easy on the pockets”.
