Check out our review of the HTC One M8 smartphone.

One of the most rumored phones as of late is HTC’s successor to its One flagship, codenamed the M8. So much information about the device has been leaked that all we’re waiting on is for HTC to officially unveil it, and the company is doing just that on March 25.

With a full month wait, HTC can tease the device all it wants. It did just that through a YouTube video, though we learned more about the company’s sense of humor than we did about the actual device.

In the video, the man in the lab coat tells us how great BoomSound is before showing the new HTC One, albeit a heavy pixelated, blurred out device. What he says about the new HTC One is also blurred out, unfortunately. All we got was that BoomSound will be improved on the upcoming flagship device, though no mention as to how.

Regardless, the new HTC One is sure to face some stiff competition. Samsung announced the Galaxy S5, while Sony announced the Xperia Z2, two flagship smartphones that can surely have a go at HTC’s unannounced device. With the ball now in HTC’s court, it has a full month to continually tease us before the announcement of its flagship.

The Nomad Stand One Max is my new favorite iPhone charger

Nomad chargers have been on my table for a while now. I’ve been using the Base One Max for a few months, and while I love it, I miss the standing orientation of the Nomad Stand One — largely because it lets me skim through my iPhone notifications while I’m working on the desk without needing to pick it up.

For a long time, I’ve wished for a combination of Base One Max and Stand One, which is what the new Nomad Stand One Max is all about. And I really, really like it ... for the most part.
Nomad's build quality remains unparalleled
