HTC One preview: Take two

1 March 2013
The name is quite a statement, but one that befits a smartphone that has the makings of a masterpiece. The HTC One builds on a time-honored tradition of unibody design and packs all the very latest tech available - some of which exclusive - to make...

      No microSD card no buy. Yeah yeah read/write issue, Android not designed for microSD cards/cloud storage, bla. In the real world usage a microSD card is more practical. Period.
      Just because you don't need more than 64GB of storage doesn't mean everyone doesn't.

        HTC should have used 13mp camera like the others. I was going to replace my sensation with their next flaship thinking it was coming with a 13mp but I guess I have to buy another brand.

          This time htc really got me..with array of new features....zoe seems to be promising..I like the front stereo speakers....htc has done some great work....

          But there are some trade offs...why can't they add a menu button...i don't want to swipe every time to go through menu....make it simple....
          Ultra pixels seems to be promising....
          But 4mpx sensors disappoints when you zoom the pictures...
          And no removable battery, no micro sd...that's a big trade off....
          but I'm sure htc fans will be so happy with this master piece....

            the only thing im concern here is the battery life, after owning HTC Desire, Desire HD, Sensation, Sensation XE, i have only one concern, its the battery life, i already switch to sony xperia s, and now deciding if its HTC ONE or SONY XPERIA ZL

              Beats audio enchancement my ass...
              Everyone who has good ears will know that beats audio is no more than marketing and fancy design, not on the actual performance
              Having that logo behind this pretty phone would simply prove that you have problems with your ears

                nice try but htc is always a couple of steps behind in camera quality and execution.

                            Anonymous, 01 Mar 2013 Wow! LG Optimus G PRO RULED!!!! G PRO Beats them ... moreLooks like a great phone...but again, no removable battery, (and rather anemic for a device with a hd screen/quad core) and no external sd card. Yes yes fanboys, cloud blah blah, read/write blah blah. In the real world, more offline accessible storage is better, period. Besides those two (seemingly chronic) faults, the specs look great...the camera is amazing (HTC does great camera work). The form factor is sexy, the screen is stellar. I hope they do well with it. I'm still not buying one, mind...Samsung makes better devices for my lifestyle. (note 3...can't wait.)

                            All this smack talk and benchmarking stats are bogus anyway. Like anyone who has half a clue about Android is going to keep their device stock. My old skyrocket benchmarks higher than the S3. Big deal. Stock roms and settings are for old people and idiots.

                                HTC High Tech Craps:
                                Horrible pictures quality compare to Iphone 5 and Note2. Very similar design to iphone 5. 2 tones back and the shape.

                                Failed again ...HTC

                                    vibi, 02 Mar 2013You were there,right? try to zoom the sample photos
                                    you can't see the small letters on the HTC one's photo
                                    and the photo is too much gray color & blurred...

                                    while on G PRO IS MORE ACCURATE AND YOU CAN SEE EVEN THE SMALL LETTERS.

                                    SHAME ON HTC!
