HTC with Its Flagship HTC One For 2013

 

HTC with Its Flagship HTC One Review
HTC doesn’t seem to have any plans of bringing out more than one flagship model in 2013, apart from the One. Based on this handset, HTC plans to make its other launches follow on similar lines. Phil Roberson, HTC’s executive director for U.K. and Ireland, said that, “The HTC One is named for a reason. This phone will be true to its name.” The Company seems all confident that this new iPhone resembling HTC One offering the Android experience will do HTC proud. “We just said, ‘Let’s just create one flagship device this year,’” said Roberson, and laying emphasis he went on to say, “This is the One.”
Looking at the year that has passed, HTC went on a different path by releasing a number of handsets including the One X, One X+, One V, and One S. HTC has never been afraid of risks and operating under newly drawn policies that haven’t been tested. The new HTC One relies mostly on its camera capacities to help it sail all the way through this year. HTC is referring to t as the Ultrapixel camera phone, which also has an improved sound experience and a revised Sense UI. The One also packs in a never before in a smartphone; full HD display on a screen that is smaller than 5 inches.

The One is seemingly a better model than the Xperia Z and even trumps HTC’s own 1080p-display device we know as the Butterfly.
The new HTC One has a 4.7 inch full HD Super LCD display with a resounding 1080p resolution. This translates into beautiful quality of visuals, clarity in texts and crispness in videos and stills. It has a pixel density of 468ppi. The display utilizes the Super LCD 3 technology, which promises good saturation of color and detail and there is Gorilla Glass 2 protection for scratch free happiness.
The device runs on the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean with Sense 5 or the New Sense, has BlinkFeed which is the new home screen on HTC’s phones. HTC has gone wild to complete the infotainment quotient by signing agreements with 1400 content providers to bring updates related to sports, current affairs, business, technology, social networking and lifestyle through BlinkFeed. The feeds can be customized too, and similarity with LiveTiles is sort of apparent.
It offers LTE support around the world. It also has 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100 bands for HSPA. The phone has a download speed up to 100Mbps and 50Mbps for uploads and works on only Micro-SIMs.

The One is fairly slim, however the very fact that a full HD went onto a compact body sort of inhibits the possibility to bring in aesthetics in the design. The phone weighs about 143 grams, and has a 9.3 mm frame. These figures top phones like the Xperia Z, hands down. An unsuitably placed power button found at the top reduces the easy functionality of the phone. Another contributor to this downside is that it has only two capacity buttons, the back and home button. In between these two is a sizeable HTC logo. The One has a full metal body and with tapered edges.

The device has Wi-Fi Direct and Android’s standard Wi-Fi hotspot capability to share the phone’s Internet connection with other devices. The phone is powered by the new Snapdragon 600 chipset, which is also seen in the LG Optimus G Pro. This Snapdragon 600 has a quad-core processor clocking 1.7GHz, which is capable of high speeds. There’s also 2GB RAM and an Adreno 320 GPU amplifying the power of the phone. Internally, there is the option of either a 32GB phone or 64GB, indicating the absence of a microSD card facility. The HTC One also has free 25GB of Dropbox storage.
The primary camera is a 4-megapixel sensor with enlarged pixels through which a lot of light is captured which makes this a good snapper in low light conditions. The camera has one-press continuous shooting, feature and can capture as much as 300% more light. Great detail can be seen using this sensor. The BSI sensor has more pixellations that that found even on the iPhone 5, Galaxy S III and Lumia 920. A major photography myth about the truth behind megapixels is reiterated in this phone and the Company harps on how megapixels is a gimmick to fool consumers and therefore HTC has abstained from it. The Ultrapixel camera however has Smart Flash (Five levels of flash automatically set by distance to subject), HDR mode in video recording, Optical Image Stabilization (OIS), VideoPic, continuous shooting and, slow motion video recording with variable speed playback. It is also capable of shooting 1080p video
