HTC representatives have said that the HTC One (M8
Eye) won’t be coming to Germany, Austria or
Switzerland, which suggests that the rest of Europe if
off the cards too. The reason being that the handset
was designed with specific markets in mind, mainly
India according to the representatives.
That’s not to say that HTC wants to ship an inferior
product to Western consumers. It was pointed out that
the M8 Eye lacks some features found on the regular
HTC One M8, such as infrared.
The sentiment seems to be that the two handsets are
optimised for which features HTC believes consumers
in each market prefer, and neither is meant as a
replacement to the other. We’ve seen Samsung make a
similar move with its high speed LTE Galaxy S5. But
are they right to make these sort of assumptions?
Would you rather have the option of a 13 megapixel
snapper over infrared? Theoretically of course, as it
doesn’t look like the One (M8 Eye) will ever leave
China or India. Remember, there’s always the One (E8)
and Desire Eye to satisfy your photography needs.
