Stunning screen
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
The HTC One is gorgeous. A lovingly crafted metal slab almost identical in size to its predecessor
It’s cool to the touch
Rock solid

It's a tradeoff between design
Price or performance
Battery life
Easily scratched aluminium casing
The HTC One side-by-side with its predecessor the One X. The difference in design is striking
Design
My first impression on picking up the HTC One was that it feels sleek and sturdy. The aluminium casing
Low resolution

2 shots are 3MP
Underexposure common
Digital zoom results
Detail lacks
Soft edges
Camera lens easily smears from handling
Adjustment options slow to access
No physical shutter button
Holding as a camera tricky due to trim body

Black paintwork picks up scuffs incredibly easily
BlinkFeed can't be removed
No immediate way to customise menus
No expandable storage or removable battery
Camera doesn't impress
The UltraPixel sensor just can't compete
Battery life could be higher
Heats up when web browsing and gaming
Touchsensitive buttons can be confusing
There's still room to make the body more compact
Nonexpandable memory
Battery isn't great
Camera image quality doesn't match HTC's claims
BlinkFeed needs some tweaking.
No memory card slot
Zoes fill up storage
Alarm too simple
BlinkFeed limitations
All Android keyboards
Gets warm from heavy usage
As cool as the HTC One looks
There are a few design flaws its creators should be kicking themselves over. HTC’s decision to remove one of the standard control buttons (the multi-tasking tab) to make way for its logo below the screen is an odd one that’ll surprise longtime Android users - instead
You double tap the home button to switch apps.This
You get used to. More frustrating is HTC’s decis
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

It's a battle to the death between two of this year's top Android smartphones: the HTC One and the Samsung Galaxy S4. Both phones are packed with the latest technology, including 1080p displays, feature-filled cameras, powerful quad- and even octa-core pr...
Abstract: A while ago, I picked up the HTC One . I purchased the device because I wanted to experience Android, as having been a Windows Phone user for three years made me all too comfortable with Live Tiles, black backgrounds and sparse user interfaces.As interest...
Abstract: Is it a smartphone? Is it a camera? Actually, it is an amalgamation of both, and it is known as the Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom. This peculiar device has the guts of a modern-day smartphone, and as a matter of fact, it packs enough punch to be anyone's dai...

A major improvement over last year's HTC One X, Excellent build quality and design thanks to sleek aluminum frame, excellent display with accurate colors, clean and modern Android overlay with Sense 5.0, very good battery life, 1.7GHz quadcore chip provid
Not the largest display out there, no crazy cutting edge features. No memory card slot – although 32GB of built in storage should suffice for most, video quality is pretty good but lighting can be inconsistent and shaky. Sense keyboard can be frustrating
The HTC One doesn't offer all the bells and whistles that the Galaxy S4 does, but what it does offer, it does really well. HTC has done a nice job revamping HTC Sense overlay, and it is refreshing in the way that it's clean and easy to navigate. All i...

Abstract: Not many of Nokia’'s smartphones are worthy of bearing the PureView badge. The title is given to only the maker’'s best cameraphones, among which is the Nokia Lumia 920 from last year. This particular smartphone, however, wasn'’t quite as capable as t...
