HTC ONE Review

By Claire Booth


When talking about the best phones of 2013, HTC One is surely on top of the list. And if you are planning to get yourself a new device this year, you should read on below our review and what other people are saying about it.

Its unique zero gap aluminum uni-body is the main reason why it has captured the eyes of consumers. It is in a slim but solid built and the edges are tapered to so you do not have to worry about it falling off your hands. It also provides great user experience compared to its competitors.

Its display is pretty impressive as well with its 4.7 inches Full HD touch-enabled screen with 1920 x 1080 resolution resulting to 468 ppi.

It features a 1.7GHz quad-core processor and it is available in a couple of storage options - 32GB and 64GB. It also has the 4.1 Android Jelly Bean and the latest version of the Sense interface on top of it. It runs smoothly and you will experience no lag at all.

Even with its simple software and UI, remember that it is still Android and you still get ot enjoy its benefits. Also, BlinkFeed comes with mixed reviews but the good news is that you can personalize it.

This phone has 2 cameras: a 4 megapixel on the back and a 2.1 on the front. You might be shocked to see that it has way lower number of megapixels compared to other devices but picture quality is not just based on this aspect. Also, it has an UltraPixel image sensor which is very effective even on low-light environment.

Recording videos has also become easier with its multi-axis optical image stabilization for a clearer result. Another very interesting feature is the Zoe which records 30 seconds of video with still images.

For those who are into music and other multi-media, you will really love the Boomsound. It consists of front-facing speakers with dedicated amplifiers and the Beats Audio for a rich and clearer sound.

Personally, I think that its size is perfect with its height of 137.4, width of 68.2, and depth of 9.3 all in millimeters. It also weighs just right at 143 grams. Other similar devices right now may have larger screens but that would also take out its portability.

The One is truly a great phone and even if HTC did not exert similar efforts when it comes to marketing like the Samsung and Apple did with their products, sales have reached 5 million in less than 3 months and mainly because of the positive feedback and comments from actual users.
