We always thought that HTC’s One X was cruelly overlooked - its beautiful curved unibody was far better looking than the cheapish Samsung Galaxy S3. HTC’s designers have excelled themselves again this year

No storage expansion
Camera suffers from noise
Blink Feed won't be for everyone
Camera could be better
BlinkFeed needs work
No memory slot
Battery life is unexceptional and the aluminium casing can be slippy in the hand

No memory slot, Camera could be better
There's a whole lot to say about the HTC One, and almost without exception, it's all good. The camera might not be as good as was promised, BlinkFeed won't be for everyone and the Zoe photos could become a little used gimmick, but the overall package i...
