HTC One hands-on: First look

19 February 2013
Going by sales in the past year alone, it's easy to forget that HTC still makes some of the best hardware in the smartphone game. Despite the fact that it was the first to release a smartphone with a dual-core Krait chipset, the first to launch a...

But I think Xperia Z has a better looking desgin on the outside.

    The back looks like 100% HTC, and its the back that looks perfectly done i think.
    Also like the stereo speakers on the front.

            I own an Apple Ipod Touch and a Samsung Galaxy S2. I like hedging my bets between IOS & Android. As my S2 got older I started looking around for a new phone. I had literally just struck from the list the following: Nexus 4 (don't like the design), all Samsungs (innovative, but too plastic), the iphone 5 (screen too small, alas) and was about to pre-order the Xperia Z when suddenly this phone comes along. It is gorgeous. I just need persuading that the camera and the battery are OK. The Xperia's native battery extender software sounds pretty good. But i am sorely tempted by this now.

                Uk dont have €, they have British Pound.

                510GBP = 582€

                And for Z, you are paying more becouse of IP57 and design. This one looks like LG Optimus G Pro and GS4, nothing special with this ONE.

                  "HTC brands its chip as an "UltraPixel sensor", a term that seems to suggest either far greater resolution, or some major breakthrough in pixel design. The truth is rather more prosaic -- along with the modest increase in sensor size, HTC has simply slashed resolution in half to allow a greater photodiode size."

                  in the end is the "perfect" phone...that if you wanted an Iphone5 after an one night stand with the bb10, running on an Android which looks alike WP8...quietly brilliant

                      Before complaining about 4mp camera, people should look at how a Foveon sensor works. Those 4mp will probably give a better image than any existing 8/12mp cameraphone sensor, and 4mp are more than enough for your monitor and prints.

                            How are you people say that htc imitate bb or apple. Think logical. If some smart phone company going to make a moble as a flagship they do a wide research about it. What kind of display, what kind of size, what kind of bezel(and what the best they can do with their current technology) People hate samsung cz cheap plastic even it more powerful , love apple cz better looking metal design even it really suck. Then company working on a better looking metal design. Then they meat Al cz they cant make a phone with Fe, Ti, Hg, Ag. :-). Htc didnt imitate bb or apple. They just listen to what people love. What people want their mobile to be.what people dream about their mobile.nice job htc.if this mobile cost under 900$ with tax in my country i dnt giva a damn about s4,this will in my pocket.

                                  HTC One definitely resembles the iPhone 5 and Blackberry ... where's the creativity?

                                    Ugly UI... Design resembles that of the iphone 5 and BBZ10,,,,, xperia Z still wins here (overall) lets see if the S4 will topple that

                                      You wouldn't be able crop the images and images will look pixelated if zoomed!
