What this hardware actually means

Editorial interpretation generated from the device's self-reported fields and our SoC tier database. Cross-reference with the raw fields below; if you spot a contradiction, please tell us.

Platform & performance positioning

The htc m8 reports its platform as Snapdragon 801. The CPU configuration is 4-core, Krait, running up to 300 - 2265 MHz. The GPU is Qualcomm Adreno (TM) 330. Without a confirmed SoC tier mapping for this platform string, we treat the device as unverified. If you're using this entry to compare against a phone you're inspecting, focus on the raw fields below rather than tier-level conclusions.

Day-to-day workload

2 GB LPDDR3 of RAM is below the realistic minimum for current Android — expect Android to aggressively kill background apps. Display resolution is 1920x1080.

This record reflects Android API level 32 (12.1). Android 12 — at the edge of current support; most apps still work but some new features may not be available.

Trust & buying notes

For a second-hand purchase, also verify the security patch date is no more than ~12 months old, the boot count is plausible for the claimed age, and battery health is above 85%.
