Awesome Phone, Handy, Great Built Quality And Love The Beats Audio

Phone owned for less than a year

This is by far the best phone in this range. The built quality is so awesome and the great thing is it feels great in your hand. The camera is super awesome with 4 UltraPixels and what it has is the greatest ppi 469. And it is the beast with its audio which is one of the most fascinating point for me on the phone.

The most beautiful and most capable phone so far.

Phone owned for less than 3 months

The moment I saw the HTC on my hand, I knew this will be the phone of my choice. I checked out Samsung S4 at the same time in the store but I ended up choosing the HTC One. The beat Sound weas a big for me because I do watch a lot of YouTube videos without the headphone. Only wish is it would be perfect had it built with a 5 inch display. Love the phone.

nice boomsound like hifi sound...nice ui...i like it ultrapixel

Phone owned for less than a month

I have been using the HTC ONE for a week now and so far it's been great. I love the white matte plastic that surrounds the phone which looks really good and contrast well with the aluminum. The forward facing speakers have only gotten compliments so far from my friends and relatives. The 4.7 inches of the HTC ONE in my opinion the ideal screen size for those who love big screen devices.nice boomsound like hifi sound...nice ui..nice camera ultrapixel....i like it this phone...cool body..

I love HTC One.

Phone owned for less than a month

Htc One is No 1 smartphone. I love every feature of it. It looks very elegant and love the New UltraPixel Technology and Beats Audio. It would have been gr8 if that this phone would be a little bit more lighter but 143g is also ok. There is one thing I want Htc to focus on that is to improve the battery life because a phone which has so many features will automatically use the battery more than other smartphones. Secondly in the future can I wish they could add Flash with the Front Camera. This is one thing I really want in HTC Phones. Thumbs up for HTC for make such a great phone called the HTC One.

Best phone ive ever used

Phone owned for less than a month

The HTC one is a solid phone all around, and you will be able to tell that from the moment you pick it up. it has a beautiful design all around, the camera is more than capable of taking high quality photos, and the boomsound speakers really do make a huge diffrence. the button placement does take some time to get used to, but after a day of using it, you get used to them. This phone is so fast and feels so good in the hand, i'm making up reasons just to use it.

The best Mobile I had Ever used

Phone owned for less than 3 months

Its beautiful and it had excellent performance. Best Camera, awesome audio.
Only One Word The Best Mobile I had Ever Used.
Boomsound is better than a few hundred dollars for small external speakers better, Blinkfeed is convenient.
Using Zoe, a few simple actions can make a movie. Ultrapixel works amazing and I can shot clear picture in the midnight!

Boomsound really loud enough, I can now cook in the kitchen and watch movies. Blinkfeed are a few handy, I hope HTC will have more partners later.

If you want a flagship, premium, beautiful smartphones, HTC One is the right choice for you. I don't need to describe it anymore, because it's better than Samsung Galaxy S4, Sony XPeria Z, iPhone 5 and whatever I've ever had. I'm still waiting for HTC One Max

Smartphone is an understatement, HTC ONE is a Super Smart Phone.

Phone owned for less than 3 months

After hanging on to HTC Desire S for almost 2 years, I wanted a switch. I wanted to go for a phone which has more computing power, takes care of my data with enough inbuilt space, never run out of space when installing apps,a better battery with enough juice, and something that could also serve as a business phone and feels good to hold and touch. My search ended with HTC ONE.

I got the cell, the first day itself. I am pretty much impressed with its performance. It would be an understatement to call HTC ONE , a smart phone.Infact it is a SUPER SMART PHONE . Premium build, amazing quad core processor, 2gb ram and 32 GB of memory + not to forget the BIG BATTERY. I am more than happy with buying this phone.

Few things I loved about HTC One -



BoomSound .. I could now boasts of the most loudest speakers in Android phones.Amazing clarity and defining BEATS AUDIO enhancement. Earlier I had to cup the speakers of my earlier phone to make the sound louder but not any more.



Camera - Sequence Imaging, Image Stabilizer, Object Removal, Smile shots make sure I am having the best picture everytime Not to forget the live gallery! Loved the ZOE mode.It captures the 3 sec video before taking the actualy picture.Ultra pixel technology is definitely the most innovative discovery in optical imaging. Good Low light pictures.



Blinkfeed - I am a person who is hooked onto information. I have set my favorite pages and I get updated feeds every time, all the time with opening the net.



Battery - HTC has gone a long way to improve battery. The One’s battery is really impressing. I have had tested it personal. I have got almost 20hrs straight on moderate usage with wi-fi, 3G, few calls, texts, whatsapp, hangout, few you tube videos, blinkfeed. I love it. Goes on for full day. 2300mAh is powerful.



Sense TV - This is probably another HIT feature. I can control my TV with this. I love playing pranks with this innovation.




Build Quality - Truly worth Rs42,900 unlike cheap plastics. Premium quality finish. Zero gap design. Whenever I take this phone out, people always ask me about it. You have to see it to believe it.



Overall, HTC One is a true SUPER SMART phone. I am happy that I made a nice choice.

The capacitative UI , screen flow is amazing and the experience of playing games is too good. There is no lag in the screenflow. If you are looking for a change now and can afford this, I say blindly buy the HTC ONE.
Trust me, you will never regret this decision.

Today's Ultimate Smartphone

Phone owned for less than 3 months

I've been using an HTC One for approximately 2 months and I cannot fault it. For my own modes of use it has proven to be the perfect pocket companion. Until now I have always used my phones for browsing, e-mail and messaging, Facebook, Youtube, and as an in-car navigator, camera and video recorder.

I have never has a phone so slick, fast and smooth in operation, nor have I taken so little time to get used to it. I can honestly say that it has integrated into my daily life completely and easily. This is probably due to the upgrade from sense 4 to sense 5 - it is much less obvious and fits nicely to my personal requirements. It has also added a new facet and changed my daily routine completely.

I never read the news at all before I got my One - Now, Blinkfeed has changed all that. It has replaced the hassles of finding the news and reading it, into selecting what I want to check and taking quick looks as I find the time. As HTC accurately describes it .. Snacking on news !!

The screen is superb, clean, clear and crisp, and coupled with the front-facing LOUDspeakers I am experiencing Youtube at a whole new level of pleasure (I'm a musician so I use Youtube a lot for musical references).

The Zoe/Video highlight feature has made my 86yr old mum happy too. No more sending just boring still photos -now she gets 'living photos' all patched together in sweet little mini-albums, and when I use HTC Sharel,not only can she view the albums, she can view the individual images and Zoes too ... She loves it because my family is in another country and it brings the three other generations to life for her. In fact, my HTC One has affected her life almost as much as it has changed mine.

Don't listen to the naysayers who criticise the camera either. It has a pixel resolution equal to the screen on my new 27 inch iMac ... I can't imagine anyone wanting to view any snapshots at bigger sizes than that :) ... I do advise manual; alteration to the sharpness filtering though .. bring it down to -1 or -2 for smoother photos.

THE "ONE" YOU NEED TO BUY

Phone owned for less than 3 months

i have never been this satisfied with a smartphone, the htc one bulid quality is a++ the speakers are the best speakers i have ever heard on a phone, and beats audio makes a big difference. the super lcd 3 display is outstanding in every way. color accuracy is spot on and contrast is very very good. full hd 1080p with 468ppi web pages are easily readable even when zoomed out. this phone has great reception picks up evdo where my last 2 previous phones would not. i was initally worried being a all metal phone but the reception is outstanding!! call quality is also very good sense voice works really well. the ultra pixel camera is the best in low light. dont be fooled this 4 megapixel camera takes way better pics then my freinds 8megapixel. 32gigs is plenty storage for me and with dropbox its more then enough. i easliy make it thur 2 days on battery life with this phone. using the power saver. i could go on and on really, But you really have to try this phone for yourself. its super fast with jelly bean and the snapdragon s600.

Love the htc one, but could have been better

Phone owned for less than a month

I love the htc one all around. It is the best smartphone today. It has the great all metal unibody. It is blazing fast and responsive, I never get any lag at all. The only bad things are the battery life, which could have been better like the butterfly s. And the micoSD card slot.

Great, but not perfect

Phone owned for less than a year

The HTC One is an incredible device that I love owning. However, if either camera performance or battery life are crucial to your decision, you may want to look elsewhere. The 'Ultrapixel' camera isn't as impressive as I hoped, producing blurry too often. However, the low light capabilities are outstanding. Battery life is good, however, with my heavy usage I am usually lucky to get through an entire day on one charge. Other than those two elements, the phone provides a great overall experience that I would recommend to almost anyone.

Excellent Android! LOVING HTC ONE!

Phone owned for less than 3 months

First I will list the things that I desire least, because there are only a few. #1 on my list of dislikes is that the phone lags on my favorite games. My favorite game to play is Hill Clib Racing, and the game lags so bad, it's unbearable to play. I've tried reinstalling the game, turning off wi-fi, contacting the game developer who says they can play it just fine on their HTC ONE, but for some reason I can't. Also Candy Crush Saga, sometimes it won't even load. This is the only Sprint phone I have owned in over 5 years that loses calls. I don't know the reasoning. But someone said it was because I have a case on my phone (it is a very very thin case) but it was losing calls before the case, so it is the phone. Next is the beats audio/speakers. They are less than what I expected. My husbands Note II is much louder and almost as clear as these speakers, so I would NOT buy the phone for the speakers, and they shouldnt have advertised them the way they did. Next, the camera. The pictures are pretty clear, but you can tell they arent HD clear. It's "at first glance" crystal clear, but if you zoom in at all, the pictures are very grainy. And last, what I dislike most about the phone... BATTERY LIFE! I have done absolutely everything I can to increase battery life, and it still lasts only 12 hours with little use, and only a few hours with continued use. My iPhone 4s lasted MUCH MUCH longer. My iPhone and the Note II can last days with minimal use, and over a day with continued use. It needs work for sure!!!!!!! Sooooooooooo what I do love..... #1 would be the build/design. I love the shape, button locations, softkey locations, look of and feel of everything on the phone. #2 would be the clarity of the HD screen. Watching videos and reading has become enjoyable with the clarity of the screen. #3 would be the texting. the stock texting is very snappy, and you are able to change the colors, so I am not always stuck looking at the same boring colors. I love it. #4 would be the internet. How fast the phone loads pages is amazing. I couldn't ask for anything faster. #5 would be the call quality. Even tho it loses calls, when you are on a good call, the quality is second to none. #6 would be the Zoe, and the whole picture gallery set up. It's fun and entertaining. I absolutely love that you can take still pictures from a video. I use it all the time! And it categorizes your events, love it! THe BEST feature about the camera is the low-light settings! It takes GREAT pictures with very little light. I was totally amazed and blown away! Overall I recommend this phone to everyone that like HTC. It will make you LOVE HTC even more!

The Outstanding One

Phone owned for less than 3 months

I usually never had the urge to give an opinion / review of a smartphone but for the HTC One, I just felt I had to because this phone is more than I ever expected before..

I had this phone for about 2 months and until now I have no complaints whatsoever on this phones, yes it's not a perfect phone but still it delivers the best experience of a smartphone in my opinion.

I really love how Zoe, its Live Gallery and its Video Highlights compliment each other and gives me a whole different experience of enjoying moments that I have captured.

The dual front speaker? -- I'm amazed, this simple thing makes a huge differences on how I enjoy media in my phone..

Those two features alone could have made me fascinated with the HTC One.. But the thing is this phone still have so much more to offer! Blinkfeed is beautiful and I love it being as my main home screen, I even restrain myself from using a launcher because I still want Blinkfeed in my home screen.. Also SenseTV, it's actually a simple feature, but again, I found myself checking and setting up a reminder of my favorite show on my phone rather than using the original EPG option.. It's just so much simpler..

I could go on and on about things that I love on my HTC One.. But believe me, you just have to try it yourself.

For me this is the best phone of 2013 :)

HTC One: Probably the Best Android device out there!!

Phone owned for less than 3 months

The HTC One is a feature rich device that gets a lot right from the start
Industrial Design: Metal Unibody, light & slim profile which really feels like the premium product that it is.

Dual front facing Boomsound speakers with Beats Audio really was a revelation to me. It makes listening to music direct from the phone a joy; its clear and isn't lacking in power which was totally unexpected when I first heard it.So much for thinking it was just a marketing gimmick!

Blinkfeed is a good new & Social media aggregator, and the Full HD screen makes watching videos a joy, and reading text a breeze. Using the latest Sense software is a lag-free experience thanks to the Quad-core processor, 2GB Ram and good integration done.

The Ultrapixel camera excels in low light and in the right hands, performs quite well in almost all other situations as well. Yes, it can overexpose if you're not careful, but that can be worked around with proper click to focus use, which also adjusts the exposure accordingly. But more importantly, is HTC Zoe & Video Highlights. Would you miss the resolution in some cases, perhaps. But this camera is more than capable of meeting 90 of a typical users' needs.

One feature that isn't too talked about is the optical stabilisation which benefits both photo taking & video. The ability to shoot at 60 FPS, slow motion mode, and also Full HDR video which would be interesting for those who're so creatively inclined.

The IR-blaster was something else that I wasn't sure about at first. Gimmicky? in some ways, yes, but with Sense TV, you do have a Smart Remote with TV guide in your phone now. Found it useful at home and in public areas when testing its usage and range (decent line-of-sight range on it!)

So if you're looking for the best Android device out there, you can hardly go wrong with the superb HTC One!

The HTC One...Such Joy!

Phone owned for less than 3 months

What can I say about my HTC One? Quite a lot! For one, its great strong and sturdy metal body design makes it a real head turner! Aesthetic wise, I find the HTC One the most good looking smartphone in the market currently. The premium feel of its full metal body in my hands feels comfortable and sleek. The display is the best I have seen so far, with a 468ppi resolution, the colors are rich and stunning. Of course, swiping through the phone and going through one action to another is smooth and effortless as it's running on Qualcomm Snapdragon 600, 1.7GHz quad core system. The battery life of HTC One is good too. For what good is a smartphone if it has no battery? I use it often to take photos (lots of it) and editing, for Facebook and surfing...Using it heavily between the hours of 10am till 4pm (cos that's when I am out and taking photographs!), by midnight, I am left with 24% battery juice. I am extremely happy with the performance. I do not use the Power Save feature and control the brightness and the timing of the phone manually.

The BlinkFeed feature has also made me read the news that are of interest to me. I was not a habitual news reader till now. News reading which would be rather secondary to me, has now been made primary and I have become more up-to-date with news around the world. With BlinkFeed, I can do just that without having the dig for the information via search engines. Once I choose my options from categories like Food, Music, Movie, Politics, Gadgets etc etc..news about these are just a fingertip away.

I love photography and HTC One's camera app with added features has made it one of the most used feature of the phone by me. So far I'm pleased with it. The Ultrapixels allow me to take great low light pics (regardless of some complaining of the low 4 Megapixel camera...it's not like I will be making extra large prints of my pics. It's great enough for a fullscreen laptop viewing!). I like what I see and get with the HTC One and that makes me one happy camper.

Well, of course the HTC Sense with the added Zoe feature which takes a 3 second moving shot allowed for a nifty feature - a Zoe Sequence Shot. This means that I can choose several frames from the moving shot and combine them together for a sequence shot. The moving pictures in the Gallery brings a delightful experience to me and to the rest of my friends who have seen it.

I have saved the best for last... HTC One's BoomSound! The innovative move by HTC to put front facing dual stereo speakers is the best feature of this phone in my opinion. The sound has more clarity, depth with rich tones and a higher audio level that can't be replicated in other smartphone models in the current market. It's simply amazing!

The only gripe I have with the HTC One is probably the change in the home button which now acts as a multi function button for Home, Menu and Google Now depending on the different ways one taps it.
