HTC One Google Play Edition review: One for Google

28 July 2013
The Google Play Edition of the HTC One presents one of the hottest smartphone tickets this year in a whole new dimension. Gone is the home-brewed, Sense-d Android OS. Instead, users of the Google Play Edition of the metal-clad smartphone will...

device is very nice in design and the stereo speakers but camera atleast need an 8MP i think this is the main draw back my 5 friends including me refused buying this device because of the low camera resolution. waiting for a new upgrade.

            AnonD-143260, 29 Jul 2013Jokers...comparing a 4 mp cam with a 41 mplearn something: first compare the sensor dimensions wich must be closed to the ideal "1/1". this means that the ideal sensor must have one inch diagonal of the cmos sensor=2,54 cm diagonal. personally i think that lumia 1020 and 808 could have better effective 15-20 mp with real big pixels on that big image sensor instead of 41 mp wich can make image grainy

                  hi guys. i owned practically all high end mobiles since 1998. in the last two years i have changed at least 20 models. all i can say is that my htc one is the best mobile i ever had. i listen music very much on big headphones and this mobile suits me like a pair of expansive leather gloves. i have tested samsung galaxy s4 for one week, but i returned it to the store and change it with htc one. the display and the camera are the only things in minus compared to galaxy s4. but i use music function much more and htc one is the king of music devices. htc one sounds louder and better than my ipad 4th generation and my old sony discman wich had insane power on headphones for its times

                    i have htc one glamour red and believe me the build quality is almost perfect the screen is gorgeous the sound is amazing the ui is very responsive no lag at all. dnt listen to the haters i am using the device for a week now. i might concider the Gedition but i already bought the sense5 version and to me nothing wrong with it.
                    many are complaining abt the cam well fyi the cam is marvelous i dnt need an image at the size of a billboard "41 megapixel" i just want an image where i can share with my social network that looks beautiful and htc one do that perfectly.

                    "my point of view"

                      AnonD-42799, 28 Jul 2013I advise you to read about Nokia 808 Pureview and Nokia Lum... moreThose are made for pro photo enthusiastic. UltraPixel with good low light performance and sharing for social purposes are already right for my usage.

                      Personally, I find switching lenses for burst shots or panorama is a hassle on windows phone. I have every mode displayed on my HTC One camera UI and simply holding the shutter button will start the burst shots. Capturing the specified moments using Windows Phone is just not quite right.

                        Is there a phone only contacts option when adding new contacts or is Google's Gmail the only option for adding contacts? Can one add contacts to the phone or do they have to be added thru Google/Gmail?

                          and remember..the software updates do not come straight from Google they are sent from Htc ..they will come much quicker but not as quick as for Nexus devives

                                The camera is so awesome... It's way better than any slr in the market.. Leave aside any other phone... This is HTC's answer to the lumia 1020


                                All jokes aside.. HTC makes honest phone.. They make beautiful phones... If for instance if I buy this phone and never even switch it on I will still be happy with it.. It's just brilliant.. I just don't like the cam
