Samsung Galaxy S4 was not ready, a lot of the features did not work in launch day. Apple iPhone 5, still is not ready. Nokia 920 just had a update for its camera early thus year.
BlackBerry Z10 is out in stores and it needed a update just recently

I can't understand some of you guys. This phone is pre production, so its getting its final updates before launch.

Some of you just need to put your hand in your pocket and get One, you know you want One!!

Mark, 26 Mar 2013Unfortunately no update will solve the lack of pixels problem.what lack of pixels? pixels are a measurement of size, not quality. Your HD TV is 2 mega pixels but you don't whinge about that do you? (Let me guess, you've got a 4K TV??? Of course) Unlike you, I actually have this phone and have absolutely no complaints about the camera. It impresses everyone I show it to, especially in low light where their cameras suck.

personally i want smartphones with "no camera version", just frontal for video call, like nokia had some models in the e-series. and i like a htc one with no camera, and 150 euro cheaper than camera model

The pureview techno... more808 is very good, but Lumia 920 is a very bad camera but is, only one of, the best for nighttime pictures and optical image stabilization is good for nightpictures and videos but Nokia bad design made 920 very bulky when HTC One also have optical image stabilization but is still a lot smaller than the 920 plastic brick, with old N9 design!

There was 2 very fishy and 1 funny things happen in this so-called "HTC One software update..."
1st, in Hardwarezone review it written,
"While we were halfway through reviewing the HTC One's camera, HTC called and swapped out our One with one (cough, cough) which had a firmware update for the camera.
If it was just firmware update, why HTC needed to swapped out the on-going review unit? They could simply just update the review unit firmware on the spot. The action just make me think in actual there's camera sensor or lense quality issues with HTC One, therefore HTC need to change the whole unit to hide away something.
2nd fishy thing, if everyone look at the "Before" and "After ISO100 full picture, both picture are definitely taken with different camera lenses. If you look at "Before" picture, some items are out of focus even they are on the same line. And if now look at "After" picture, all items on the same line are correctly in focus.
3rd funny thing, think HTC Engineer's screwed the One ISO setting table. So when choose to shoot with ISO800, the firmware actually selected ISO1600 (or ISO3200?) think that's why HTC One ISO800 picture took a sudden dip in image quality than ISO1600. And wehen choose to shoot with ISO1600, the firmware actually selected ISO800 this time.
I wasn't expecting HTC engineer's to make such low class mistakes. If HTC Engineer's are at this quality, what about HTC One quality? You don't need to be a scientist to figure that out...
