Performance
Under the hood, the HTC One (M8i) runs on Android 5.1 (Lollipop) paired with HTC’s Sense UI 7, a familiar, user-friendly interface from HTC known for intuitive interactions and ease of access. Powering this is the Qualcomm MSM8939 Snapdragon 615 chip, a 28 nm processor configuration incorporating an octa-core CPU. This setup features a balanced split between four 1.7 GHz Cortex-A53 cores and four 1.0 GHz Cortex-A53 cores, making it adaptable to multitasking and moderate mobile gaming demands. The Adreno 405 GPU complements this by supporting graphical performance suited for most multimedia applications.
