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
And lies smoothly on a tablet

The editors didn't like
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
3
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
W
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

The HTC One is the company's best phone yet, with great performance and a few bonuses for photographers and music lovers. But its not without annoyances too, chiefly that it needs better power management or a bigger battery. For as much as we like the...

Keyboard – this almost made the cut for the cons section, but with time I adjusted to it and can type with relative fluidity – that, and almost everyone's experience on a keyboard varies. The Sense keyboard is not ideal for rapid typists like myself, and
I entered this review with a purpose. Above all I wanted to see whether I could put to rest certain concerns had since the phone was announced. For a large majority of the review, I spent day after day nitpicking, but I was hard-pressed to find any true f...

The final question is one of cost: as HTC's range-topping handset, the One commands a high price. It will be on various plans, starting around $45 and can be purchased outright for $700. On balance, the HTC One justifies that premium. The loss of ...

There are just so much to love on the HTC One that it has totally converted me over from my iPhone 5. I also haven't mentioned how I love the HTC Sense UI on top of the stock Android. I find the UI more elegant and pleasing to look at (even the pattern l...

The HTC One has its issues, but then no phone is utterly perfect. It's a particularly tight field in the premium smartphone space at the moment, with each model having its own particular benefits and quirks. The Xperia Z is more waterproof. The Optimus G...
The HTC One is a very high-powered smartphone with awesome build quality, best-in-market sound and screen quality and a solid camera which takes great pictures in low light. It also comes with some innovative software features such as the Zoe camera opti...

Top notch design and build quality, Excellent camera and photo editing features, BoomSound dual front speakers are a huge plus, Snappy performance with no lag, HTC Zoe changes the way you capture and share moments
but that I must point out:
The most frequently asked question I got while using this as my daily driver was “are you going to buy one?” The answer is ‘maybe', which is actually a big deal considering my Nexus 4 is only a few months old. It's even more amazing that I'd say that abou...
