HTC One Review 2013

By Claire Booth


The HTC One is one of the best smart phones in 2013 along with the Samsung Galaxy S4 and the iPhone 5. It is the successor of the One X and is famous for its aluminum body, frontal stereo speakers, and the new version of Sense.

The first thing that you will notice is its aluminum uni-body frame which is kind of similar to that of the iPhone 5 and looks classy. It comes with tapered edges and a curved back which makes it easier to hold. You can also immediately tell that it is durable.

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.

You will be impressed with its fast processing and multi-tasking capabilities because of its 1.7 GHz quad-core processor, 32 GB or 64 GB of storage and 2 GB of RAM. It runs on the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean software with updates announced to be available soon and the latest version of Sense.

Its UI actually has more of a minimalist design. And consumers have different feedback when it comes to the Blink Feed. But this is not a reason to be worried as you can change it or move it away.

This is one of the key areas in which the manufacturer aims to greatly improve. Even with its only 4 megapixel rear camera, it performs better in low-light places compared to the 8 and the 13 megapixels. It produces high resolution and crisp images in vibrant colors. Its front camera is 2.1 megapixels which is great for video calling.

It comes with a lot of new features including the HTC Zoe mode which records short video clips in every photo taken and the Sense TV app which allows you to change the channels and other settings of your television set.

According to consumers, what makes it stand out from all other phones is its speaker. The Boomsound consists of front-facing speakers which do not only produce loud and clear sounds, but high quality too.

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 HTC One is a beneficiary of many positive reviews and has received a lot of accolades including the Award for the Best New Mobile Device from GSMA. But do not take our word for it and see it for yourself to fully appreciate the true beauty of this phone.
