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

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

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

The HTC One is a truly impressive smartphone. We like the sleek design and the phone feels solid in your hand. The build quality and finish are of the highest level, the One really oozes quality. The 4.7-inch Full HD display is outstanding in every aspe...

HTC's latest flagship smart phone brings new software, neat camera tricks and a Full HD display. The super-charged processor and metal construction are more reasons to be excited, but the lack of any standout feature means we'd hold off buying it until...

Display, power, design and build, Sense 5 alterations, Zoe camera, summary videos, live Gallery, sound performance
No storage expansion, camera suffers from noise, Blink Feed won't be for everyone
The HTC One is the best phone that HTC has made. The design, the refreshes made to HTC Sense, and the power on offer make this among the best that Android has on offer. There's innovation, there's attention to detail and there's plenty on offer stra...
Excellent build and ergonomics, Fab screen, Sense 5 is visually slick, Great performance
Non-expandable memory, Mediocre battery life, Keyboard needs a visual refresh
The HTC One might be the most desirable phone available right now. Its metal-backed body feels fantastic in the hand, its screen is superb, performance is great and Sense 5 offers some interesting new features that you can choose to side-step if you prefe...

Is the HTC One really the one? Quite possibly. The HTC One is a mighty smartphone, and well worthy of its name. It’s stupendously fast and slick, and packs a phenomenal camera, though we’re not sure that HTC’s Sense software adds to the experience othe...

It's a looker, Eye-lickingly great screen, Universal remote control
Average battery life, Stills don't look good blown up
The Nexus 4 showed us how Android should be done, and the Xperia Z gave us full HD and a sleek, waterproof build. But until the HTC One, we'd never really fallen for an Android phone. The One takes the customisation of Android, the liveliness of Windows ...
