Hey Cortana Feature?

[mjcart03]

Anyone know if HTC One M8 for windows has or will receive the Hey Cortana feature? Currently have the old moto x and love the okay google now feature, but Android just doesn't do it for me. I used to have a Lumia 920 but it was strife issues and just a crappy built phone. Anyway I miss Windows phone and want to purchase a replacement this holiday season. I've also considered the Lumia 830 but it doesn't have the hardware necessary for Hey Cortana.

It should. It meets the processor requirement.

At this point we aren't sure. The "Hey, Cortana" feature is part of the Lumia Denim Firmware, which is only available for Lumia Devices. It's up to HTC to implement this capability with their own Firmware

HTC in the promo information for the M8 One "promised" that this phone would not be an 8X style orphan. So we shall see if this is true.

What is the "Hey Cortana" feature?

It's the voice activation feature for Cortana, just like Ok Google, for Google Now.

It's the hands free "voice activated" Cortana update, supposedly being implemented with the forthcoming "Denim" firmware update.

As with most features, I'm sure you'll be able to disable it.
