HTC exec claims HTC One already reached 5 million sales

23 May, 2013
That's half the Galaxy S4 sales, but the One has been hampered by low supply due to production issues.

No company is pure at heart, they sometimes do something shady to save themselves. You've probably been taken in by the One's good looks. I would never have thought that an aluminium unibody is that good a hypnotising tool.

You are talking about Samsung SHIPPED 10 million phones, but it doesn't mean all of them were sold but here HTC claims they sold 5 million phones SOLD is better than SHIPPED.

              Bad marketing is again killing HTC. My parents had a very hard time getting a single HTC One in USA. At last they got one the white version. I saw the galaxy s 4. It felt cheaper than the S3. I would never but a phone that feels so cheap. No matter how many software features they offer me.

                  False claims.
                  HTC already commented that the numbers weren't official. "That number comes from the same unnamed source that is referenced throughout the WSJ article. Unfortunately, that isn't an official figure"

                  Let's wait and see.

Also (as per the review) the S4 did beat it in low-light conditions, albeit not on every picture. The HTC One has a bad camera period.

HTC have screwed up badly when they decided to put a bad camera on a flagship. The only thing they can't get away with is a trade-off on a flagship. Samsung only messed up the design, and this is forgivable. So people should stop comparing the two of them.

                        vivian, 24 May 2013Why is ip5 not a smart phone?Because the iPhone doesn't have multitasking (in the true sense of the word), doesn't have a system-wide file manager, no app integration, only an app store to somewhat supplant the utter lack of functionality of the OS. Nobody should buy a feature phone for hundreds of euros.

They do sth called research to find out if 13MP cameras actually capture details, not just noise (like the HTC One's camera), or if the plastic body can take scratches (which the HTC One cannot take well). Sensibility will succeed, and quantity is good, not just 'quality'.

                                No one said anything when S4 reached 10 million mark. Why doubt HTC one hitting 5 million mark? HTC phones are far superior than Samsung. Samsung uses the cheapest material possible to build their S-series.
