The ultra pixel is designed to make the best of the constraints forced by a very small form factor. It is the very definition of innovation. Comparing DSLRs with Camera phones is ridiculous - both have their uses in different situations. 'Horses for courses'.

Telstra outright prices are approx $100 to $120 (markup) from retail prices, so approx AUD price would be $729/$749 from the independent retailers like Mobileciti / Jb HI-FI, DICK SMITH, HARVEY NORMAN and Office Works (yes they are all retail shops in Australia) just to name a few..
As for by far and away with is the biggest population (99.3% for 3G850/2100 DC-HSPA+ / approx 85% 4G LTE 1800/2100/90O and 2.3 million km2 geographic network, most consistent for data speed / voice/SMS service its basically Telstra followed by Optus and last the woeful Vodafone which has to offer roaming to their customers over the 2nd best Optus Mobile network.
Australian mobile phone users were screwed over when Vodafone begged Three Mobile to merge ... Before that Three Mobile was awesome.

Anonymous, 11 Mar 2014Ultrapixel fail because everyone who uses cameraphone print... moreyeah right! "Everyone..prints their shots!" I think you will find that the vast majority of Cameraphone users do NOT print their photos. The majority will share via Facebook or instagram or browse them on their beautiful screens. In any case, if you get a regular 6"x4" or 7"x5" prints they will still look stunning. If i wanna take a picture and blow it up to a poster I will use a DSLR camera.
I think we will all have to wait and see what HTC deliver with the 2 lens system. Don't judge until you have seen the independent, objective reviews or used it yourself!

That lower bezel is huge. If they'd have made that bezel smaller and the screen bigger to fill the space then I'd be looking forward to it. Shame.

Ultra pixels are a huge fail, and they give out a photo that looks like it is from the 90s lol and besides if ultra pixels were so good DSLR would use them!

i think it's awkward
i prefer to have just one camera but with great quality
it is an innovation but i think it is a waste

Jason, 11 Mar 2014Finaly some inovation from HTC?@Jason What planet have you been on? Did you see which phone won more international 'Best Phone' awards in 2013 that any other phone? Which phone was voted BEST PHONE in 2013 at the recent MWC event?
Why did it succeed? Because of lots of innovation. In design it's a clear winner across the board. The Boomsound innovation? Stereo, LOUD, high quality, Front-facing speakers which have to be heard to be believed. The Ultra-pixel camera - massively innovative - yes the jury is split about their success here, but if you purely judge the camera's success on your ability to zoom in on detail then it can never win. But if you want beautiful naturally exposed photos that are great for posting online, emailing easily and sharing with friends, then it's a great camera and hugely innovative. There were many other things too like the Zoes but they were quite hamstrung by the limited on-board storage of the original One which had no MicroSD support. With the 'ALL NEW HTC One' it looks like HTC have listened and included MicroSD support at last - hardly innovation but it will be great to have all that extra storage to be able to take lots of photos and videos using the new camera. I can't wait!

Well, that sounds great on paper, but then again thats what HTC like to do, lots of fancy names and not much real life value. I hope this is better than Ultrapixels, they cant afford more failures with useless gimmicky stuff now.
Amd as someone mentoned, charging time, the One was truly a nightmare to charge, it needed hours. First it could not last a day after an overnight charge and then it was so slow to charge that it was impossible to top it up during the day, it really had to be carried with a portable power bank almost constantly plugged in. Charging speeds better triple this time around.

The Reason for Dual Camera looks valid for 3D images , but the reason I was assuming was, as cramming in more pixels in Ultra Pixels Camera is difficult coz of its size, they added a Normal Camera, which will Capture more details and will use some algorithm to merge both the captures and produce a image with more details and clarity

Still, it's all a waste of money, space, time and material if the picture quality will not get better. Marketing gimmick at its best, with no actual engineering progress. Nokia lumia 1020 is the actual example to be taken in terms of image quality, with the 5MP shots. I hope HTC will bring us a better camera with this model, from the point of view of noise levels, sharpness, and color reproduction. Peace
