HTC One M8
What is one of the most common features of smartphones that consumers would like to see improved? Many will debate on this topic for days, but most will definitely agree that the device’s touch response should be on the top three list.

Historically, Apple’s iPhone line has had a big advantage over most Android phones in this area, and it's one of several main reasons iPhones often feel more responsive and fluid than many Android devices. However, if reports are indeed true, there could be a changing of the guard soon.

A French website, lesnumeriques.fr, said that the new rose among the thorns is HTC One (M8). The test performed by the site clocked the response time for the HTC One (M8)’s screen at a remarkable 46 milliseconds.

Barring any claims that the test is rigged and results falsified, this makes the M8 the fastest tested mass-market smartphone on the planet by a healthy margin. It also makes the touch response on HTC’s new flagship phone nearly 40 percent faster than the iPhone 5s, which was found to have an average touch response time of 75 milliseconds.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and Sony Xperia Z1 Compact were also found to have faster touch response times than Apple’s iPhone 5s in recent tests.

The new HTC One (M8) is one of the most sleek and powerful smartphones to date, and was hailed by many as the best Android phone the world has ever seen so far. Whether or not that will translate into a much-needed sales boost in sales, however, remains to be seen.
