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...

I don't know about you guys(gsmarena) but the Nokia Pureview 808 has the highest bitrate in the video capturing mode. It's around 23-24 MB per second, next the Iphone 4S which is 20-23 MB and next the Samsung Galaxy S III which is 17 MB per second.

        Very good review,i hope to see a battery test and a proper camera one..if they are good enough for me,i will buy it.the older htc devices hold me well,so i'll give htc another chance,no doubt about reability,i am not attached to a brand,but others besides htc and an 3gs let me down.i hope this is worth buying because i like it,is not too big,but bigger than that is not comfortable in the pockets.the guy talking here about 5.5 displays has nothing to do with the reality that those tablets are just too big to carry,and you're just looking like a douchebag with a tablet attached to your head

If you have a problem with HTC then just don't buy one. I had some respect for these people, but now I've just lost them. I thought of buying an iPhone but now I think I'll give the ONE a try. Hopefully it'll be available on AT&T soon.

                the camera is bad, my L9'S 8mp is even better.
                the screen is too small for a 2013 flagship

                  Best independent review so far (and how I've searched since the launch!) mines on pre-order but interesting to see your comments on the camera - I'm not convinced re ultrapixels so far. Had a Desire HD for two years, hope they keep up with the software updates better and solve users internal memory issues without factory resets! HTC this is your last chance with me!

                    Optimus G pro images look better IMO, this ultrapixel game seems just marketing stunt.

                    design - although nice bit seems highly copied from Blackberry front and Xperia P back.

                    Sense 5 - not really nice (blink feed - copy mix of sony timescape + windows mobile live tiles)

                    HTC - please bring the original magic back! Please stop copying like copycat Sammy.

                      The back is nice, looks like Xperia P's back, but still, it's awesome. :)

                        I'm not that convinced by the camera, details seems kinda bad. Surprised that the screen wasn't brighter than the SGS 3 which is pretty dim. One X had a really bright and awesome screen. Rather they kept the 720p screen than sacrifice the brightness. Besides that this phone seems almost perfect. Good Job HTC!

                                It's interesting how the HTC One is generating so much hype and buzz while the so-called "LG" flagship is generating none, and hence the LG trolls here. What a pity.
