HTC One review: To rule them all

22 March 2013
Arguably one of the most exciting pieces of smartphone design in recent times, the HTC One is also properly powered and flaunts a screen that should please even the most demanding eyes...

    There are very few things I dislike about this phone and i must say it is absolutely beautiful, especially when you get it in your hand. I just wish they had some sort of tech to stop to much light coming in, but hey you can't have everything. And I'm not that keen on blink feed either even though it's is a nice bit of software.

      Great phone. Just got it today. Beautiful all around.
      The sound on this thing is phenomenal (speakers).
      It is truly a premium phone and many reviews have given it a full remark.
      The gap issue probably exists with certain phones from the first batch. Luckily for me no issues and i think mine is from the first batch.
      I think this phone truly adds proper competition to the current leaders. Well done HTC. Only a month ago i never even mentioned htc in the list of phones i wanted to buy until i saw this phone on display. The pictures dont do it justice in all honesty. Its a masterpiece.
      My first HTC and my first Android. Very snappy and has tonnes of features. After few hours use, i will naturally recommend it. :)

        AnonD-94869, 04 May 2013both htc and rim copied iphone 5. do not botherWell since most phones carry a rectangular shape, I guess Iphone is copied by everyone...Puh-lease! The Iphone wished it was as well designed. We are talking about phones..not toys. Besides this is not Blackberry's nor HTC's first rectangular design...check GSMARENA's archives and you'll see for yourself.

          Anonymous, 05 May 2013 lg optimus g is better than htc one in battery and camera... Even if it's slightly better in these aspects, optimus g loses in everything else. Furthermore, lg phones tend to have very little resale value and honestly, I don't imagine someone buying optimus g when you can buy gs4 or htc one.

                      The HTC One just came out here in Canada on Rogers and is $99 on contract, cant go wrong, hopefully the next wave of the phones have corrected the gap issue at the top/bottom other then that minor issue this phone is awesome. Waiting for the black one to hit the street before getting One.

                              They should thank Blackberry for copying the Z10's design. Other than the design, there's nothing to talk about...really.

                                PHENOMENAL SOUND QUALITY for htc one. the headphones amplifier is stronger and better than ipad 4 and all iphone range wich were the best for music on headphones until htc launched 8x,8s,one,butterfly with BEATS AMPLIFIER built-in,custom hardware made, not just an softare equalizer. SINCE NOKIA N91 and my old sony discman, i have never heard such a BIG sound. thanks htc
