HTC's new flagship smartphone - HTC one reviews

As HTC's new flagship smartphone,HTC One can be described as charming from the inside to the outside, which also makes the aircraft's popularity and attention has been high.HTC official recently said in a statement, HTC One will be the first on sale in United Kingdom,Germany and other places of this week. Now, the latest reports from the foreign media, HTC One is now scheduled on sale in UK retail stores as well as online store operators.

Design

The new HTC One using aluminum unibody design, it is loaded with the 4.7 inch FHD Full HD SLCD3 touch screen, and it provides the industry's highest 468ppi pixel density, so we can see a unparalleled fine display.


HTC also makes a big deal about the One's all-aluminum chassis, describing it as using a zero-gap unibody design. Indeed, available in hues of black and silver, the handset feels sturdy, has reassuring heft, and its smooth metallic skin exudes high-end craftsmanship. HTC also took pains to point out that while the thin white trim encircling the silver model I manhandled appears to be plastic, it is, in fact, metal.

Core hardware

As a flagship smartphone,you'll be glad to know that the HTC One doesn't make you disappoint.Beating inside the heart of this regal machine is a 1.7GHz quad-core Snapdragon 600 processor, fresh off of Qualcomm's factory floor. It's the first device I know of to officially feature the new silicon. Because of that I'm sure a lot of smartphone addicts out there will be itching to get their hands all over this gadget.

The HTC One will also ship in two memory configurations, a stock 32GB (internal storage) model and a tricked-out 64GB version. Both devices, though, will feature a full 2GB complement of RAM.

Software

The new HTC One has all the power of modern Android Jelly Bean at its disposal. Layered on top of Android is yet another version of HTC's Sense UI. As you may have guessed, this latest version of Sense offers more enhancements you may or may not find useful.

 



The first is something HTC calls the BlinkFeed, a main home screen that consists of dynamic tiles that display content from a wide variety of news outlets, blogs, and Web sites (including CNET). If you're familiar with popular news aggregators such as Flipboard and Pulse, then you get the idea.

There are drawbacks to BlinkFeed you should be aware of, most notably that you can't turn the feature off at least entirely. By default the BlinkFeed screen is set as the phone's primary home screen. You can, however, select any of the HTC One's home screens as its starting point.

The HTC One also runs the latest version of the company's Sense user interface. Besides BlinkFeed, the skin has a cleaner look with icons that are less crowded across and within the app tray. Also odd is that unlike in stock Android Jelly Bean, the app tray doesn't side scroll left and right; it scrolls vertically.

Gone is HTC's iconic weather clock widget, too, which has graced its phones since way back in the days of Windows Mobile. You will still find information for time and weather forecasts at the top of the home screen, but displayed in a much more low-key fashion.

Confirming that the line between tablets and smartphones is blurring more every day, the HTC One also features an IR blaster on its top edge. When used with the HTC Sense TV app and HTC remote software, users can command their TVs with the phone plus keep tabs on local programs.

Camera prowess

When the HTC One was first announced, the Taiwanese manufacturer made a big hoopla over the handset’s “UltraPixel” camera tech with a sensor that was able to catch 10x’s more boomfeeds or something like that. Of course once the internet got their hands on the international version of the device, the reviews came pouring in: yes, the ultrapixel camera captured awesome low light images (better than the competition), but in brightly lit environments, shots were simply “meh.” The reason? HTC’s gratuitous use of noise filtering in their images.

 This is just an extremely low light comparison between the HTC One (left) and the iPhone 5 (right)

TC claims the end result is a camera able to capture 300 percent more light than competing camera phones. The proof, as they say, is in the pudding.

Outlook

We just can be seen from the picture of the HTC One ,the designers of HTC must have spent a lot of time in the design of this new product.In my experience so far, however, the phone's screen and camera live up to the hype, but low-light performance seems a bit oversold. I am concerned about the BlinkFeed feature, which may be exciting for Android newbies but doesn't seem extremely useful for smartphone old hands.
