This thread is for uk people who have bought, pre ordered or thinking of buying HTC 10. Thread here you can Share first impressions etc
I Ordered mine on Wednesday and I literally just received it.
Went for the gold colour which I'm quite happy with.
It's on charge currently but I'm not going to wait 12 hrs before use.
If you have any questions pls ask and I will try to answer.
My previous phone was S7 Edge gold which I was very happy with but I just couldn't live with TW.
I've inserted my EE sim and 64gb micro sad card, now just waiting for it complete setup.
So it comes with an empty battery then? Is there any downside to using it before 12 hrs of charging?

Battery is 62% out of box.
Not sure if it will effect the battery life by not charging for 12hrs but that doesn't bother me too much.
62% out of the box. Not sure if it will have an negative effect on battery if not charged for 12hrs before first use.
Glad I got rid of my S7 edge for htc 10.
HTC have a pulled out a great phone.

Just a pity HTC haven't shipped them yet. How did you get yours so quick after only ordering on Wed ?

I ordered mine through mobiles.co.uk just before they went out of stock.
Hi riz157,
I was considering the HTC 10 as my next phone and have been checking out the reviews over the net and seeing the comparisons with the other flagships. I have noticed that even though it's new with latest specs it seems to run slower than the other flagships when tested side by side, have you noticed any issues?

So i should get rid ov my s7e buy a phone which took p*** ordering from htc direct?
Rather than saying getting rid of it explain pros and cons cos i seriously dont see the 10 being much different from anything on the market as of now and last year. Ive had the m7,8 and the failed 9 and htc never did anything special other than having a really good build quality

In the short time I've used HTC I've not found any lag whatsoever. I've found it to be very responsive camera is excellent, screen is vibrant. I've no complaints.

I've never really liked TW, if you can live with TW then you would be far better of with s7e for sure as long as the screen size is suitable.
My preference
hardware wise I like the design of s7e but I prefer lcd 3 on the Htc 10.
I hate TW but like sense ui, it's lighter and more customisable.
Camera not much in it I'm happy with both.
Screen size I prefer 5.5 min.
Speakers Htc 10 louder and fuller sound.
So essentially if I had Htc 10 sense ui and s7e hardware with lcd 3 screen I would take that. Or if I s7e had stock android with lcd 3 screen.

Cheers for the response for the most overall impressions agree but only down side for me is like you say they should have gone 5.5 screen. Amoled kind of grown on me for now and the battery life seems fine but atm trying to get a contract upgrade from 3 for the 10 since cancelled the pre order for taking to long
U.K. ?

I don't think they could, it would be too close to the new Nexus devices that they are making. I think they could be a 5.5 with Amoled screen, no SD card.

It's a shame I got rid of my HTC 10 as the screen was just to small, now I've ordered Huawei P9 plus from Vodafone as they are only ones stocking in the uk.
I found another interesting piece of info O2 in the uk aren't stocking HTC 10 i wonder why.
I was offered iphone 6s plus 128gb for my htc 10! I thought that was a result.
Curious on the Nexus.
Like the device but the battery life for meh is uninspiring, out of my return window so cant even return it and try a different 10.
Got mine 2 weeks off gumtree for £350 as the seller told me they had it unlocked but it was locked to ee (genuine mistake)
They agreed to the price as ee took about 7 days to unlock it for £8.99
Loving the black version and the feel in the hand , using adoptable storage with a 128GB Samsung Evo+ for music n videos
The screen Res is really good and audio blows anything else I used away! (bose in-ear mie2)
Rocking a spigen crystal shell and waiting for the Torro leather case to come
Overall very please with this handset
Just got my carbon grey one as an upgrade for my knackered m8. Loving it so far. Colour is awesome. Fingerprint scanner is ace. Quickcharge 3.0 is excellent. I do not like the new keyboard. I hate it in fact. No arrow keys, button layout is all screwed up. Hoping I get used to it. New boomsound is a bit disappointing tbh. Feels solid as a rock though. It's fast. Waiting for my dbrand skin to arrive.

HTC Carbon Grey
Hi everyone!
Sorry that I'm late for the party,, but better late than never! I'm planning to buy a HTC 10 this week. I just wanted to know one thing - Are there any logos at the back of your device other than the HTC logo? I've seen few devices with completely clean back (with only the HTC logo in the middle) and others with the CE number and other information at the bottom. I was wondering if its related to carriers or all HTC 10 devices coming now sports such a logo. I'm planning to buy the Carbon Grey variant from HTC UK website itself, and from the pictures I've seen, these logos take away a bit of its beauty. But still, it's a great device. Just wanted to make sure of this detail.
Thanks in advance!

Hi, where did you get your card from and at what price?
Is it working well?

I got an HTC 10 a couple of days ago after my sister bought my nexus 6p from me, I got it thinking about getting a 2016 nexus once it gets released in Germany (usually a couplw of months after the US's release ) but now I'm thinking of keeping it.
Why is the phone so underrated? It feels noticeably faster that the Galaxy Note 7 for example and it looks way nicer than Samsung's new ui .
I still think the nexus 6p takes better pictures, but the HTC 10 runs circles on it when it comes to speed, the difference is very noticeably.
HTC can't really compete with companies like oneplus 3 I know this, but 700 euros is outrageous, with 500 they may have had a chance.
Why would anyone choose the HTC 10 instead of galaxy, which looks fancier and takes better pictures and costs the same?
Nevertheless in my opinion is the most balanced on the market right now, it didn't deserve to fail so bad.
I don't want HTC filing for bankruptcy, they build amazing , yes the 10 is on the too chunky side , but it feels sturdy.
What do you think ? Does HTC have a chance of making a comeback ?
Gesendet von meinem HTC 10 mit Tapatalk
HTC has a really bad reputation and it's a well deserved one. I don't personally think they can bounce back unless they knock the Nexuses out of the park. This device has issues. The volume of the speakers is abysmal compared the M7, M8, and M9, many phones have defective WiFi chips (mine included), the radio is hit or miss and doesn't get reception in a lot of places that my Note 5 did, the screen issues (red tint and banding) put people off, the standby time as a result of the defective WiFi chip puts people off, the glass on the camera holds fingerprints like nothing else which means it has to be wiped every time you want to use it, etc. It's a great device for XDA's community but for the average consumer it falls flat on its face against other flagships around the same price point. If Samsung didn't lock the bootloader on their SD 820s, I'd have a Note 7 myself right now.

I chose the 10 because of it's build quality, close-to-nexus feel, speed, camera, audio and more. In essence, I chose it because it was the best device that fits my needs. Not everyone has the same taste and also marketing plays a crucial role in product exposure to the popular. Product popularity doesn't affect user experience so I could care less if I own a product nobody has or likes, or how it's company is doing, this device is perfect for me.
If I wanted to buy into popularity and mainstrean, I'd have an iPhone and beats headphones.

I don't mind that it is underrated, didn't or wouldn't matter to me. i like HTC. I don't have any of the problems some people have, call me lucky but not one HTC phone I ever had(I had them all, EVO, EVO3D, ONE M8, M9 and 10). WiFI works, speakers are good( I don't see my phone as a boombox), Sprint signal is sometimes spotty( that's Sprint). Camera is great(it's not a Nikon DSLR). As far bulky, I think the S7 Edge is bulkier. The 10 has been the best phone yet and yes I had the M8. I have no complaints.
Best phone out there for me and I've tried just about everything. Also nice to have a rare phone for a change

@EtherealRemnant My phone is perfect in every way. No wifi, data, sound or screen issues at all. Why didn't you take yours back? Im also getting over 5hrs screen on time so battery is perfect for me. 2% drain overnight with wifi on.

I'm shocked to see how many people care about the speakers, I'll take smaller bezels any day, I use my headphones 98% of the time and keep my phone silent all the time, I only use the speakers when I want to show a friend a video.
My device has a yellow tone area around the the lower part of the screen I'm gonna get it exchanged.
I would be all over a 5.5" HTC 10 , I know the new nexus is going to have a 5.5"acreen but with the trademark big HTC bezels +on screen buttons you end loosing 30-35% of the screen state, which is a big no. I miss the days of the nexus 5/6 and LG G2 bezels
I'd have a Galaxy Note 7 but I've burned by touchwiz all too many times, I have to stay strong this time!!

I always root for my favorite companies, also if a device sells well it's in the best interest of the manufacturer to update it quick and keep it working hassle free

In which way do you find it bulkier? Yes it's a bit taller and wider but it's nice , the screen is noticeably bigger , and nevertheless is a couple of grams lighter
I played with both HTC 10 and S7 Edge for a couple of days and i chose HTC 10. Yes S7 Edge Camera seem slightly better but if you learn how to use HTC 10's Camera, It takes photos and records videos good enough i would expect from a Phone. Was a pre-order which means I've been with it for quite some time and I have never ever experienced any problems like i've just read here. I give it a 5 Star
I just cancelled my order for a Note 7 to buy the HTC 10 instead. At first, it seemed like the Canadian Note 7's bootloader would be unlocked, but it isn't. The 10 is a better choice when it comes to customization and long term 3rd party support, software-wise. And it seems built a lot more durably that the Note 7. I had thought of getting one in the past, but 32 GB is very small (even 64 GB is too small for me). With an SD card, I'll do alright, thought.
As for how underrated the phone is... Good question. Part of why I had passed on it before was the small internal capacity and the high price compared to other phones. There are many phones that have similar specs but are less expensive. But I think that when it all comes down to it, the 10 is a very good quality phone, and it's more than just its specs. As for its problems, worst comes to worst, it can be exchanged.
not underrated at all....
no advertisements as usual.....
priced a little high(paid around 690USD as mine is standalone ) with less of open source so most of them are staying away from it...
very few carriers are giving it out on monthly installments....

Here in AUS every carrier has the htc 10. But you are right i haven't seen 1 advertisement about it.
Htc never seems to advertise anymore. I remember when the evo came out, every other commercial was about it. Got me to buy one, lol.
I don't know why, either. But I don't care. The only issue I've had with mine is the screen tint, but it's gotten better with time and I honestly don't notice it anymore. It's hands down my favorite phone I've ever owned. I was thinking of the Note 7, too, but it's not an option because of the locked bootloader.
I'm not sure it is underrated ? Every review i've seen more or less says great phone, maybe one of the best on the market, I don't think HTC have a bad rep either do they ? Every HTC i've had just keeps on working and i would argue 18months down the line they work better than most.. In work we use Samsung notes and they are painful to use in comparison I can't stand touchwiz (although the actual note taking part with the S-Pen is excellent) .. I pre-ordered the 10 also, love it no regrets actually due an upgrade and not bothering until maybe lured by a nexus and a 5.5" screen...
I notice a lot of HTC haters posting lot of bad feedbacks on this great device... Besides too few ads seen on tv and a higher price when launching the product.
Cost has a lot to do with it, while I feel it's worth it at $600 USD (which is what I got it for) anything more than that and I wouldn't have gotten it. While it's a great phone, it's hard to lay down that kind of money for anything.
There are many phones over $600. In fact, some phones, specifically the 6S plus and the note 7 costs north of $800.
I'm not sure why the 10 alone gets bashed when there are phones out there hundreds of dollars more. Some are willing to pay a certain price to enjoy something. Saying X should be X amount is an opinion and is no different than saying that paying $200 for jeans makes no sense when you can buy some for $20 or even less.

so disagree I had the S6 Edge because the M9 was too much like the M8 then I moved to the S7 edge, both of these phones were great but I couldn't fathom why I wasn't taken by them like I have been with all the HTC's I've owned and I've certainly owned a few. Then I bought the HTC10 and immediately sold the S7 edge. The HTC is faster, the signal at work is 4G on my S7 is was on Edge around most of the building, the music player has clarity and isn't oversaturated with bass like the Samsung's, the UI is more usable, especially the dialler which on the Samsung was a real frustration (coming up for air..................) I love the ice view which has so much more potential, the speakers are actually better balanced and give a clearer sound than p[previous incarnations and I actually use it more than I did the M8 boomsound, and I've got to say when I put my Bose headphones on this fantastic phone it sounds like nothing I have heard before, not to mention the customisation option this device has compared to the S7, S6.
The Samsung has a better camera and marginally better screen, the OLED screen is something the HTC 10 could have utilised for the ice view screen, the slo mo on the s7 is awesome (although I have not really tested the HTC slo mo or hyperlapse as yet) and the phone is really stylish and I'm afraid much like sex sells style does to, that's why Samsung sells so many phone despite all the superficial features on the s7.
Price new is to high. Picked one up on swappa for a decent price. wifi was kind of weak it seemed. Changed my setting from auto to 2.4 and turned off wifi calling which I don't need and wifi is good now. Phone signal is low it seems , but call quality is stellar and also very good . Never dropped a call yet.
I like HTC products and have had many, really like the 10 a lot. Build quality is excellent and the speakers while not loud sound nice and rich. Glad I picked it up.
There's not a lot i would change about the phone , an amoled screen , smaller bezels and 8 mm would have been nice and of course.... The price the htc 10 right is more expensive than the galaxy s7 edge and even more expensive than the galaxy s7 :/only geeks like us /HTC fans would choose it over those phones

Hi everyone,
I need some advices. I have to buy a new smartphone, I had an LG G4 before but got the well known bootloop issue. It was 6 months ago.
Since then, didn't buy anything but really need one right now. So I have to choose between 2 devices: HTC 10 or LG V20. It's almost the same price.
I was an huge HTC Fan but got a lot of problems with their after sale services with my M8 and Desire Eye.
For LG, I'm really afraid of another bootloop issue with this V20.
I didn't find any comparison between these 2 flagships but I have a lot of questions.
First of all, on the video recording. On some YouTube videos, OIS on HTC 10 seems better than V20. Sounds recording seems great(if not better) also on HTC 10, or am I wrong? I really loved manual control on my previous G4 and glad that V20 got that on video recording, but is this really an advantage with this awful shaky OIS?(I hate the one on G4 and it's look like the same)
Secondly, the battery lifetime: on some reviews, I saw that V20 endurance was not so good, but how about the HTC 10?
And finally, on the headphone output: Is there an huge difference between the HTC 10 and LG V20? DAC or QuadDAC? Didn't find any comparison...
It's very hard for me to choose, it will be my daily smartphone for the next 2~3 years so I don't want to make a mistake. I love the 5.7" LG's big screen and removable battery but still love and really want to come back on HTC brand, Ultrapixel Camera render and Sense. Don't want to go for a Galaxy device....
So, if you had to choose between these 2, which one would you take and why? I'm waiting for your help and reply and thank you in advance.
1.heard some v20 user still had bootloop, but just a few
2. Photo quality is much better for HTC10, the V20 is really bad
3. Dunno about about audio quality on v20, but it said the quad DAC just upscale anything and not work in some case, at least HTC10 with the hi res headset are not bad too.
4. HTC 10 firmware make me feel it just beta quality, and if you use LG, Samsung, Nexus before you will say what the hell HTC still doing stupid things, such as very bad NFC card reading, VOLTE suddenly disappear, no RGB notification LED which can't customizable, bluetooth disconnect, not bright enough screen under sun. I can go for a long list what I hate on the 10.
I switch from Nexus 5 which had broken, so at that time I can only choose from Note 7, Pixel, 10, V20. pixel don't have OIS, V20 bad photo quality, Note 7 explosion, so I am force to choose 10 in terms for better photo quality.
If you really need a phone right now I will suggest get S8,or anything cheap such as MI and one plus. The soon release mi 6 is cheap and got 835, 6gb ram, but no ,3.5mm and only 1080p.

Thanks for the reply, S8 is a beast but it's so expansive. I found an One Plus 3T at almost the same price as HTC 10 and V20 but didn't really think about it. Is it a good one? And also have a look on Huawei P10.

It is a tough choice for 10 between 3T, for V20 I will not consider as I am afraid of if any bootloop issue in future and bad photo quality.
3T had touch screen lag problem, just fix in recent firmware but dunno how good it is. P10 totally against it, 1. it use 3 different kind of flash, from very slow to super fast, it like a lucky draw, 2. it lack of oleophobic coating, what the hell a modern smartphone lack of this? 3. CPU still not good enough for a flagship device
if you will flash custom rom then htc 10 is a good one, consider the hardware not so bad (except the nfc and weaker wifi reception).
If you go for 10, check the screen, it either Sharp panel or Tianma panel, talk about color accuracy (sRGB) the Tianma is better, but the Sharp panel is a little bit brighter and wider view angel, but will have some visible line on it. google the different before choose.
Actually the 10 will be my last HTC device, I can't understand how come they still can't fix the volte issue. I also have some app incompatible issue but not on my wife s7 edge.
p.s. It can't tell it is which panel until you look at the screen.

p.s. It can't tell it is which panel until you look at the screen.

Ok, thanks a lot for taking time to answer me. I think I’ll go for the HTC 10, it was my first choice and I think I won’t be disappointed with.
only reason to choose the V20 over the 10 is if sound quality is one of the top 3 features you want from a smartphone. That said, if you don't have, or don't plan on getting, great headphones then the V20's sound quality advantage becomes irrelevant. The 10's DAC is great and is at the top in comparison to other smartphones, but isn't quite on par with the V20. In all other aspects though the 10 is a better smartphone

I just want to share my opinion about HTC 10.
HTC was once my favourite smartphone company, because of its audio quality and UI design. I used HTC one m7 for almost 4 years without any major issues and finally bought HTC 10 on November 2016, The performance was good and Camera is also good but not the best, galaxy s7 edge has better camera. but still audio recording and sound quality was top class. I updated to nougat on january end and it was working perfectly for about a month. however my faith in HTC has got down not long ago, ever since my HTC 10 became useless on the account of bootloop issue on february 2016.
I bought the device from another country and warranty is available only in that country, anyhow i had sent it for replacement and one of my friend who was in HTC service centre told me that he had seen 12 other HTC 10 phones sent for similar bootloop problems.
I'am waiting for the replacement of my HTC 10 for one n half months. When I recieve the device, first thing i'm gonna do probably is sell it !

lamborghini = HTC....... bicycle = LG V20
And what do you think about the brand-new LG G6? Did you heard something bad or weird about that one?
In my country I could find it for 599 euros right now, one month ago it was 750 !!!! what's happened? Bootloop again ?

because outdated CPU + camera sensor, same as HTC U ultra
and for G6 you will not receive the full spec unless you get the US or korea version, as I know US got wireless charge and Korea + some asia country got qual dac, feel weird?
p.s. the HTC U ultra sapphire limited edition give a large discount even when pre order to make it cheaper then S8 in my region

As a music producer and audiophile, I totally agree. The V20 has made strides in mobile DACs and audio processing in terms of handling impedance and super low noise floor; needles to say it drives my HD 650's pretty well. I don't know if I would agree with the above statements on camera quality... it takes great pictures. I will say that the one thing that irks me about the phone is its UI. At times, it handles multiple applications well, and other times having a few music applications open as well as messenger applications is enough to frustrate me. Not exactly sure what causes it but considering a re-flash soon. I just don't want to risk loosing my DAC upon install of a new rom.

I don't have a ton of experience with LG's UI, but it seems to be almost as lightweight as Sense 8. A major problem with a stock version of Sense 8 is that HTC sets it's kernel parameters to be way too conservative which causes hiccups similar to what you describe on your LG. So it's possible the same thing is happening.
I did some reading on the V20 forums and noticed some saying the Lineage based ROMs still sounded great. None of them had any HD 650s, but, as I'm sure you know, audio "quality" is highly subjective so it might sound degraded to your ears. I'd try it and if the audio sounds worse just go back to stock.

Alright I'd be willing to try that! My only problem is I've always had issues reverting to stock after a flash. My Evo from back in the day was the worst at that.

All you'd have to do is make a full backup in TWRP before you flash a rom. Then if you don't like the rom just restore from TWRP
HTC One M8 is the best phone I have ever come across, its been 4 years and it is slow now. I'd buy one more (if available) but there have been a lot of technological advancements. I want to buy a new phone in the near future that is as mighty as M8 and has the same user base. Still when I come to this thread I see something new going on, this community never stops. I want a phone with complements. Having all of you guys makes it easy to resolve any problem, so many of you developers bringing out new things for us with lack of technical know how. HTC phones are out of picture especially after the deal with Google. Any latest phone or to be launched that you guys will recommend?
Thanks a lot

I bought the OnePlus 3T a year ago, and no regrets. It's a great phone. I only hang out in the M8 section still, to help folks out.
The 3T was superceded by the 5, then the 5T (there was no 4, as it a bad luck number in China). If I were to get a new phone today, it would probably be the 5T. One review called it the best Android phone, at any price. That may be arguable. But it's definitely one of the best phones for the price (cheaper by hundreds $ US than Samsung S8, Pixel 2, etc.).
Just as important, OnePlus phones have a great community here on xda. That was the other big reason for my purchase of the 3T.
If not for the 4mpx camera, I'm sure the M8 would be considered the best android phone ever created. With the weak camera it's "only" considered one of the best. IMO this phone had everything you wished for when it was released.
My M8 will die someday and it will be a very sad day. I'll have to get a new phone of course, but m8 has spoiled me so much that I think there's simply no better phone feature wise even now.
If I was to choose now, I'd think between LG V30, Sony Xperia XZ Premium or XZ1, strongly leaning toward the LG. If I was really low on budget I'd settle for HTC 10.
As redpoint73 said, OnePlus 5T would be a great choice too, considering the quality to price ratio. Personally I wouldn't buy it as I find it lacking in some aspects, but it's still a good phone.

I would highly recommend the M9, they are cheap to buy now and Octa Core with 3GB ram, that's some real punch. They are also identical in shape and size to the M8, have a good following on here and well built!!
I bought a ZTE Axon 7 over a year ago because my M8 had bad battery life (I didn´t want to replace it after seeing some tutorials) and my top speaker didn´t work anymore.
The Axon 7 has a similar look. It is all metal, has dual speakers which are pretty loud with a good quality and has a great 1440p OLED screen. The camera is also much better with OIS, 20MP and 4K video recording.
The modding community is also very active and ZTE is even supporting the devs of LineageOS with code so they can get Oreo working on the device.

The HTC 10 is a very nice upgrade, if you're going to go "low-ish" budget.
If I had to replace my M8, I would go with either the HTC 10 ($350) or the new U11 (now $550) - if anything because it's waterproof with good build quality and camera.

No budget constaints, also HTC will minimizing if not closing its operations in the smart phone segment as most of the talent is given to google in billion dollar deal. Any other recommendations?

If you don't like my recommendations, then do your own @#$% homework!
Shop around for the features you want in a smartphone and buy the one that meets the highest number of your needs.
I gave a couple of good recommendations, so if you don't like them don't whine and ask for other recommendations please.

Axon 7 looks like a great phone. It really looks like a good successor to the "spirit" of the M8, with a serious emphasis on the audio experience (with the front facing speakers like the M8). The only thing that was holding me back, was the (almost complete) lack of developer support for previous ZTE devices. But (surprise to me) the Axon 7 really caught on, and looks to be enjoying some really great support, as you mentioned.
So here where I live I can get an HTC 10 (used but in good condition) for around 160$ to 200$. Seems like good price for a 2016 flagship, with specs that's really pretty decent to this day.
However we all know specs don't mean much in used phones. I wanna know from your experience if you own one, the commons real life cons of this phone like: is it slow? Is the battery life bad and if so, can it be improved? Is the price that (160$-200$) actually a good price? Is the sound (headphones on and speakers) quality good? And so on....
What are the pros?
I would really like to know since I always wanted one but back then I didn't have the money to afford one.
Thanks in advance everyone!
PS: I'm reposting this thread since last time I posted in the wrong place. Sorry lads

I OWN One bought it befor 6 months MINT like Brand New Condition never used Unlocked USA version for 200 USD sealed with the BOX and Cables etc.
Well i dont buy it because the offer was Perfect i bought it because i like it.. 6 months later well because was MINT never used my battery hold about 30 Hrs with the always internet on and my usage also i was thinking soon to Upgrade this YEAR but after ALL flagships come out S9 then i was waiting for the U12 Plus Noooooo i will not update my HTC 10 because nobody can give me this solid metal unibody sexy sleek feeling and i dont wana change it for a Glass, just waiting the Pixel 3 to come and if doesnt appel to my teste i will not Upgrade this year as well.
Also there is not any serious reason to Update because right now my HTC 10 looks perfect the Music sound great with Installed SAURON now the sound is superrior to most latest flagships on the same time for IMAGEs i use GCAM the phone feels smooth, fast and i can do whatever i want and need without to miss something.
So it is a choice depends from the personal preference but for me my HTC 10 worth every penny even now in 2018 year. and the Build quality compared to the latest Flagships is ROCK SOLID.
Have a Note: I started with M7 then M8 and from M8 i jump str8 to the 10
well Im feeling like MAYBE HTC 10 will be my last PHONE from HTC and i like it and planing to use it till its totally die.
Maybe the HTC 10 will be the LAST from his ERA the Metal Unibody the Boom Sounds thats was the mean reason why i did use almost 4 years my M8 and dont regred it.
