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
Rock solid

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

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
One of the finest examples of mobile phone design you'll see; Jam packed with features; Sturdy build; Very, very fast; Works as a TV remote; Loud speakers; Battery life capable of pulling more than a day;
While the camera quality is decent, the megapixels probably aren't as high as competing devices; Power button up top can be a little trying to get used to; Fixed storage size; Home button really should be in the middle, not to the right; BlinkFeed needs t

The One is HTC's true return to form. For so long it had been out in the wilderness, wasting its talent designing middling smartphones designed for pre-paid markets and band-aiding the ones it already made. Much like the Xperia Z represents the mojo-tasti...
While the jury will remain out until we get our hands on US devices, at this point, all signs point to yes. It's simply one of the most exciting pieces of hardware we've seen in a long time, including the Galaxy S IV. As of this moment, the HTC One is loo...
HTC's new One smartphone is likely to be one of the best smartphones of any stripe in 2013, but we need to see how its proprietary Android add-ons, battery life and new camera style function before we can offer an unreserved recommendation to buy it. Hol...
