While we’re not exactly sure what HTC is planning with the dual sensor camera on the back of the HTC M8, the front-facing camera on the phone seems poised to take some of the spotlight as well with a 5 megapixel imaging sensor. According to @LlabTooFeR, the previous 2.1 megapixel sensor rumors weren’t quite right.
Throwing a 5 megapixel sensor on the front of the HTC M8 may seem like overkill, but with the rise in popularity of the selfie, it was only a matter of time before someone paid more attention to the front-facing camera on our phones. If the HTC M8 includes the 88 degree wide-angle lens from last year’s HTC One, the handset should easily be every teenager or young adult’s perfect phone.
Small update regarding M8. Front camera will be 5mp instead of 2.1mp…
