Motion Launch ‘wakes up’ HTC One M8 when touched

The new HTC One M8 is essentially designed as a premium smartphone but one of its cool new features is the Motion Launch.

The Motion Launch feature detects when you pick up the HTC One M8 or pull the device out of your pocket and double-tap the screen while it’s off to unlock the phone.

Another interesting feature of the HTC One M8 is the secondary camera lens. Positioned above the handset’s ultrapixel camera, the Duo Camera, as it is called detects depth of field. What that means is you can take a photo of your friend and the HTC One M8’s camera will automatically determine what is in the foreground and background. Using the phone’s edit mode, you can then blur the background or foreground as you so wish.

The HTC One M8 also enable you to add filters to the background and even create a 3D-style image using the Dimension Plus setting.
