Officially announced

Well this large website states it is & has the official details.

Official details
Here are the highlights that stand out the most to me in using it as my daily phone for months:
A more refined design: it's 90% metal now, with the metal wrapping up the side (the HTC One was 70% metal). The gunmetal gray is simply gorgeous and has this great texture to it. I've also never seen a single HTC One (M8) with a gap of any kind - the entire phone is more solidly constructed.
Bigger Battery: with a 2600 mAH battery, it lasts longer. I don't have to think about charging it before the end of the day.
Bigger Storage: Yes, it's true, we put a microSD slot in there, and it supports up to 128 GB of storage. How's that for mind-blowing?
Bigger Screen: 5 inches is a nice size; not so huge like the One max, but noticeably bigger than the 4.7 inch screen on the HTC One. I got used to the 5.9" screen on the One max, but there was no adjustment period with the HTC One (M8).
Better BoomSound: The audio quality from the dual-front facing speakers on the HTC One was great...but you wouldn't believe how much better the new HTC One (M8) sounds! Richer, fuller audio with a wider sound. It's 25% louder, yes, but the audio quality is dramatically better. I didn't grasp by how much until a co-worker did a side by side comparison for me.
A Better Camera Experience: It's a 4 megapixel UltraPixel sensor, but we switched to a new provider for the sensor, completely addressed the pink tint issue, added a second sensor to get depth/spatial information (which allows for some great camera effects). Image quality is simply better.

By the end of April, the HTC One (M8) should be absolutely everywhere.

Happy about pretty much everything but the huge amount of wasted real estate on the front. It's like my Jewel buy with an extra speaker on the front.
Regardless, I'll be getting one today if the upgrade price is right.

Verge Review

GSMArena review starts positive & then saves its royal kicking until the end. Basically a decent phone let down by a camera that didn't even cut the mustard in 2013 let alone 2014.

This is exactly how I will feel about all new up and coming flagship phones.... Meh... I will definitely bypass this year's new flagship phones.

So just like the Samsung s5 only a very small upgrade. It's nice to add a microsd SD slot but seriously the HTC logo is still incredible misplaced.
Also lol at all that fitness crap, since all manufacturers are doing it it seems more like a data fishing attempt. I am 5 times a week in the gym and i know some people nobody uses their smartphone for tracking stuff, 90 percent of the time it's used to replace a mp3 player.
It's really a small and disappointing upgrade no octacore, no 3gb ram and no uhd so far all phones this year seem lackluster.

There is only one different between Insignia 5 and Insignia 5x: display.
In 5 is HDRedy and in 5x is FullHD.
Price of 5X is 820 PLN in Poland ~270$
Original Rom have bugs like:
-Language translation: there is no full Polish language translating i can translate strings it is no problem.
-No SIP native client i need this one to connect to Asterisk PBX Server
-Problem with GPS FIX, I think problem is with drivers for processor and modules.
GoClever Insignia 5x: Official Site
Best regards,
Nerus.

As with ALL other devices - it will only be supported if a maintainer picks up the device.
In your case, it's highly unlikely, MTK devices are notoriously nightmarish to work with. Even with massive cooperation from an OEM (oppo) they're hell to work with.

My friend, nicely done.
Your review was concise but comprehensive.
Your video work and editing was very nice.
I would love to see you video installing TWRP, Rooting and optimizing your Mix.
I think comparison reviews, say of the cameras, call quality, gaming, etc are entertaining
Best
