It has long been rumored that HTC will be launching a Windows Phone version of the HTC One (M8), which also happens to be the company’s current flagship smartphone in the Android segment. Today, all the allegations have been put to rest as the Taiwanese firm officially debuted the HTC One (M8) for Windows.
Apart from the etched “Windows Phone” word below the HTC logo, the HTC One (M8) for Windows is an exact replica of its Android counterpart. And we’re not just talking about aesthetics here, the WP version inherits all the niceties that Android M8 has including the beefy engine setup, the rather gimmicky dual rear cameras with two LED flashes, as well as the 5-inch 1080p display.

Windows Phone sucks until you try it!
The specs are good. Nokia should think again before removing microSD slots on flagships like 920 and 930.
