Thus HTC One (M8) immersed in water , was scratched and suffered the blows of fate , as it was made by a hammer.

The guys from TechSmartt, already familiar to us than the original One and the new flagship , released before the announcement of the latter, published a couple of clips that seriously mocked shown yesterday smartphone. First it was subjected to a water test , which consisted in lowering its switched on stuffed shells and a half hours ! This process is filmed on camera , although pieces because of its features.

If he has passed such a test , the banal rain it is not exactly terrible.

In the next video One (M8) was subjected to yet another typical smartphone Effects - scratching keys and other sharp objects .
