HTC One M8 Windows Phone 8.1 vs Nokia Lumia Line Comparison, Specs Review
The Windows phone market has been mostly dominated by the Nokia Lumia series and it seemed it would go that way for years to come. That won't be the case however as HTC decided to release a new Windows phone in the form of the HTC One M8.
The Windows One M8 is still the same as the Android One M8 with the same aluminum body, the same dual LED cameras, and the same high-end specs except for the Windows OS it is running.
Nokia may find itself standing against a strong competitor when it comes to the hardware but HTC will still have to battle Nokia's budget friendly smartphone line-ups like the budget friendly Lumia 500 and 600 series. Although Nokia have hit some snags here and there with their Lumias, they are still running as the best Windows phone in the market.
