Ultrapixel camera
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

It’s cool to the touch

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
The HTC One is a brave attempt to do something different from a photography point of view. While its main smartphone rivals feature 8 or 13 megapixel cameras, at first glance the 4 megapixel sensor inside the HTC One looks like yesterday's technology. A...

Abstract: Samsung Galaxy S4 has Story Album. HTC One has Zoe. On the publicity materials, they allowed consumers to create content with ease. Yet, the Samsung Story Album is nothing more than an app to create printable photo albums using preset templates. Although...
Abstract: Pretty ballsy of HTC to market their new flagship device as EVERYTHING your phone isn't. Considering that prior to its official release the HTC One was as elusive and hard to get your hands on as a picture of Sasquatch. Did that maybe add to the hype and...

the HTC One is a beautifully crafted device. Polished, running smoothly without any significant bugs, and easy to use. As with any Android phone, iPhone converts will need some time to adapt, but the added features and specs make it a nice alternative...
Camera performance, Average battery life, Runs slightly older version of Android, No microSD expansion
The HTC One is an outstanding smartphone that has very few obvious flaws. It combines a gorgeous design with a very slick operating system. It is probably slightly tall for its 4.7-inch display - the Google Nexus 4 with its 4.7-inch display is a bit more...
Marvelous performance, features and speed Incredible craftsmanship 1080p video recording on both cameras HTC Zoe and HTC Share are great fun Weighted feel is comfortable and easy to hold
No microSD slot support Battery is easily taxed on moderate to heavy use
