Since the introduction of the UltraPixel camera sensor on the HTC One (M7), many have wondered if HTC made the right decision by increasing the pixel size versus increasing the pixel count. The UltraPixel sensor does capture great low-light pictures, but the low resolution means there’s less data to work with which is often made even worse by HTC’s image compression algorithms. HTC has been testing out a few 13 megapixel sensors this year (most of which have not been that great) and the company has now released a variant of the One (M8) named the HTC One (M8 EYE) in a few countries in Asia with one of these sensors.

We have not had a chance to use the HTC One (M8 EYE) ourselves, but Unleash the Phones has and has taken it upon themselves to compare the camera of the One (M8) and One (M8 EYE). We’ve included a few sample pictures below, but we encourage you to hit the source link for a better look at how the two cameras compare.
