HTC One M8

The overall design of the second generation One closely resembles the first generation, 2013 model, with a unibody aluminum frame and dual front-facing speakers, and a brushed metal backing. Unlike the previous model, however, its frame incorporates smaller amounts of polycarbonate, electing for a fully metal construction with a more curved shape (rather than a plastic bezel). While the it is the same thickness as the previous model, it is slightly heavier due to the differences in its construction.[18] Located at the top of the device are the power button and IR blaster; the power button was moved to the right side, while the IR blaster is no longer integrated with it, and is instead being housed behind a plastic band. Located on the bottom of the device are a micro USB 2.0 port supporting Qualcomm's QuickCharge 2.0 technology, a headphone jack, and the SIM card tray. Unlike the 2013 One, the 2014 One uses nano-SIM cards to save internal space, and with the possibility of dual SIM models in mind. The device uses on-screen software buttons consisting of "Back", "Home", and "Recent apps" keys, instead of the pair of physical capacitive buttons used by the previous model. The previous design had been panned by critics for being irregular, and causing a black bar to occur on-screen if an app required the deprecated "Menu" key in violation of Android human interface guidelines
