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 a tradeoff between design
Price or performance
Battery life

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
