Nice specs and all but i don't know why HTC can't put a better battery on this one. Years of requests/complaints for more juice and still...

TV has the same resolution as this phone. Even om my 1080p laptop screen I can count the pixels with the naked eye from that one meter distance. Up with that resolution. Make it 2160p, then we'll talk!

                  it is a pity all htc phones are the same(only differ in specs and size a bit) but it's the same design over and over again.pity.

                    Suddenly even Note II and SGSIII start to look like mid-high range devices. Iphone 5 is mid end right now!

                        When will htc come to terms with the battery problem. They cant just launch one phone after another with astonishing specs to be finally let down by the battery life.

                          Size?!?!

                          Has every one gone mad? Why are the phones getting bigger all the time? 5 inches is a tablet not a phone!

                          The only reason for bigger phones is the touchscreen-only design. With touch keyboards typing sucks.

                          Please give us some compact hardware-qwerty devices (follow ups of the likes of SE Xperia pro,...). Then we could still have our phones where they belong: in our pockets!

                            They have built a beast, but 2,020mAh battery!! Seriously??? Motorola seems to be the one that understands that smartphones need bigger batteries. Would anyone be unhappy if the phone was a little thicker but lasted the whole day???

                                and then they go and spoil it all with a 2000mAh battery?

                                  Its high time for companies to focus more on bigger batteries then on other useless specs which are not so much needed in everyday life :-\

                                    Why they spend too much time to make more phones?
                                    Why don't they spend time to invent more software features like samsung did on their galaxy note 2?. HTC keep driving around the circle....so sad. I love HTC hardware, they need to improve software features to beat the apple iPhone. Specifications are not important anymore nowaday as much as special features, do you agree?.

                                        Another ridiculous manufacturer sacrifying battery life over "slimness", "awesomness" etc.

                                        When will they learn people want phones that last AT LEAST a day, preferably more. No matter what you do you won't achieve good results with a 5" screen phone and 2k mAh battery. Look at Galaxy Note 2.

                                        The phone this size should at least have a 3000 mAh battery. If HTC can't fit that into its body it means HTC is far inferior technology-wise compared to Samsung or Motorola. Motorola has put a 3.300 mAh battery into a 4.7 inch phone. There's no excuse for HTC.
