The all new HTC One is a smartphone with over 300 new features and innovations encased in a beautifully crafted metal body.

The HTC One brings a new experience to Android users with a dramatically improved HTC Sense user interface, great design and cutting edge hardware.
There are 4 key improvements to the HTC One over previous HTC models.
HTC BlinkFeed - Streams live updates from a variety of feeds, be it social or news direct to your Home screen. Now you don’t have to hunt for what’s happening in your world, it is all just there. The latest updates from friends, photos, calendar events, music, news and more. With over 1,000 global content partners BlinkFeed can enhance your connectivity and access to information.
HTC BoomSound - Dual front speaker that uses Beats Audio tuning, speaker & headphone amplifiers for a richer, louder and more immersive sound.
HTC Zoe - Made up of 4 components, Zoe Photos, Highlights, Editor and Share
When you press the shutter the HTC One automatically takes 20 photos and 3 seconds of video. These are combined to produce an image that literaly comes to life. Simply scroll back and forth with Time Scrubbing to select the exact moment you want to remember. Once captured Zoe Highlights automatically creates instant cinematic movies of your events. Create perfect results with Zoe Editor with retouching tools, object removal and more. Finally share a collage of events through Zoe Share.
No longer does your photo gallery have to just show static images, now they are dynamic.
Sense TV - Lets you control what you watch on the big screen with a built in cable TV electronic programme guide and remote. A built-in infrared transmitter on the HTC One works as an interactive visual channel guide and universal remote with the most popular television set-top boxes and audio video systems. Browse and set reminders for shows from the most popular cable TV providers.
Interact with all this great content through a stunning 4.7 inch HD capacitive display, which has a 1920 x 1080 resolution for an incredible 468 PPI (points per inch). The screen is in fact 43% sharper than an iPhone 5 that has 326PPI. For added peace of mind Corning Gorilla Glass 2 makes for a tougher and scratch resistant screen.

With the design of the HTC One there were no compromises, Constructed from as single piece of aluminium it is designed to not only be ergonomic but stylish too. It is incredibly thin at less than 10mm too. A zero gap and aluminium construction means that it is also rugged and resistant to general wear and tear.
Capture your special moments with the awesome HTC UltraPixel Camera which features all the latest imaging tools. Unlike other smartphone camera's the HTC One has a super sensitive image sensor which provides up to 300% more light during capture. The performance in low light conditions is improved dramatically and provides more clarity, contrast and detail in your photos. No longer measured in megapixels, you can easily print a 10x8 inch photo out in stunning detail. Of course you can too record video content in full 1080p HD through the UltraPixel camera or the 2.1 megapixel (88 degree wide angle lens) front facing camera.
Running Google Android, you get all the smartphone features you would expect so document editing, creating and replying to emails, browsing the internet, YouTube and navigating from point A to B are all part and parcel of the HTC One. With the latest Android apps and services pre-installed on the phone you can easily customise and personalise your phone.
On board connectivity options include 3G, 4G (subject to network provider), WiFi, Bluetooth, DLNA, microUSB, MHL, USB-on-the-go & NFC so there are few reasons not to remain connected and lead a digital lifestyle.
With a 1.7GHz quad-core processor and 2GB of RAM the HTC One will handle most things that you can ask of it. With a 2300mAh battery you should too get a full day's usage from it.

The HTC One is great for entertainment on the move with its stunning 4.7 inch high definition screen. With that resolution of 1920 x 1080 and 468 PPI, photos and movies are sharp and crisp with superb contrast. However, you don’t just want to view a movie you want to hear the sound and become part of it. HTC BoomSound provides dual frontal stereo speakers that deliver big sound with less distortion and greater detail. This is due to powerful integrated amplifiers, which also mean the HTC One is the phone of choice when you want to share music with friends.
All this digital content can be shared on the phones internal memory (32 or 64GB depending upon availability) or in the cloud thanks to 25GB of FREE Dropbox storage (for 2 years) with the HTC One.
With all of these features it is easy to forget about the phone. It goes without saying that many of the phone features seen on HTC's past devices will be available to give you the best in call options but the HTC One has to Sense Voice; dual microphones which detect loud ambient noise and then dynamically boost the call voice to compensate and ensure clarity.

Everything about this phone is a joy to behold. It exudes quality! How can apple charge so much for iphone 5, when you can have this piece of brilliance, with twice the memory for less? This is my first HTC and it won't be the last." |

We posted earlier this month about the microphone in the HTC One and how its quality is comparable to the Nokia Lumia 920.
