      Would GSM Arena kindly run their standard photo shoot with a mobile with the new software. I am very interested to see if the daylight difference is significant. I have always liked the construction of HTC but why their camera performance typically comes in for a hammering is not clear to me with my non technical background.

        There is one question for the author of this review.
        I want to know if the photos of HTC One camera is taken before this update?

        If so, please update the camera detail comparison page.
        Thank you.

                    This is a PHONE, not a camera. People, wake up. The camera is excellent for what 99 percent of people use it for. Buy a SLR if you need to shoot photos for your job. The entire package is very nice. None of the other phones you mentioned are as well put together.

                      Having owned an iPhone 4S, galaxy s3, and iPhone 5, the iPhone 5 definitely takes the best quality pictures. I am not sure why some believe the s3 has a great camera, but my own experience proved this not to be the case. Cnet's review concurs with my experience. I've learned not to put too much weight in reviews or hype and instead rely on experience when I can.

                        HTC one is the best smartphone up to date but has poor camera. I think they should buy cameras from Sony :)

                          They need to do a camera comparison against the Lumia 920. HTC obviously drank Nokia's low-light ability kool-aid, but it would be nice to see a full review comparing latest-gen phone cameras.

                          To me, camera is probably the 2nd most important feature of a smartphone, right after the phone part!

                                Anonymous, 26 Mar 2013Iam sure you are using canon dslr. :-) nikon D4 using Bigge... moreIm Nikon user,
                                Its true D4 have bigger MP but not too much than D3, already use them both,.
                                What I want to tell here,.. Megapixel is not everything now, versatile camera will gain more traction..
                                What HTC use in their ONE, will make another direction for phone camera,..
                                Cant u see? Last year sony flagship use 12MP, but this year
                                Use only 13MP, no bigdifferent, but every OEM will continue to develop image quality, and thats good for us

                                  The HTC mobile phones have always been bad cameras. This is another.In photography it is not a competition for Nokia.

                                        ., 26 Mar 2013Yeah, and the moon is made from cheese. Go troll somewhere else.no, he is right. You don't even check out s4. s3 has a topnotch camera. Samsung just doesn't emphasize that. and lots of people don't even know that. Instead, HTC always exaggerated their capability since long time ago.
