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
And lies smoothly on a tablet

It's a tradeoff between design
Price or performance

The HTC One side-by-side with its predecessor the One X. The difference in design is striking

My first impression on picking up the HTC One was that it feels sleek and sturdy. The aluminium casing

No immediate way to customise menus
No expandable storage or removable battery

BlinkFeed needs some tweaking.
No memory card slot

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

Sense is better than ever, but still not better than stock Android. Comes with an outdated version of Jelly Bean. The camera is good in low light, but lags everywhere else. No microSD card slot — choose between 32GB and 64GB at the time of purchase
Good-looking design, Beautiful, crisp 1080p display, Great audio quality, Speedy, fluid performance, High front and rear camera quality
Sealed-in battery, Mediocre battery life, No microSD card slot, Phone runs hot, BlinkFeed isn't that useful yet can't be removed
In an effort to claw its way back to the top of the Android superphone heap, HTC overcompensated with the One and left behind some of the elements that made previous handsets great. The designers crafted a beautiful phone without properly considering ho...
