" Had it for a day now, and it is a truly lovely device. Extremely quick, solid build, and easy to use.

The screen is lovely, so crisp and sharp and amazes anyone who looks at it.

I had my doubts about Blinkfeed, to me it just seemed like bloatware that I would want to disable, but having used it - it just works, I've even found it quite a joy to use, it has a really polished feel to it.

Overall it is a fantastic device.

Bad Points-
Battery life - yeah, like any other smartphone - if you use it lots then it will drain the battery - big deal, just charge it up!

Until manufacturers can come up with newer battery technology all phones will suffer from this. "

Received my HTC One a couple of days (thanks to Clove) and I must say I'm super impressed with the build quality, buttery smooth performance and BoomSound!! Battery performance (a common HTC gripe) is history - full day's performance with heavy usage. Memory, more than i require so no complaints even with absence of Micro SD slot.

Now i only want the HTC One version of WP8/8.1/9.

Highly recommended.

"HTC One arrived last week. I have thoroughly tested it and I am extremely impressed. Screen and speakers are extremely good. Virtually perfect phone. I use a Mac and had to use Android Transfer to get my music and photos on the phone. HTC sync software for Mac is useless."

I received my phone back in mid-April and had also ordered several accessories with it. Unfortunately the Otterbox Commuter case could not ship at the same time as it was not in stock.

I contacted Clove who assured me they would ship it separately when it arrived.

Well........today it arrived in Qatar so I wish to thank Clove for your brilliant service.

Still very much in love with my phone and the new update (1.29) has improved the camera even more! Fantastic!

"Have this phone for almost a month. I was going to wait for the galaxy s4, but I'm so glad I didn't. The HTC ONE is without any doubt the best phone ever built. 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."

" Everything I need is here, in my hand!!!...
I'v got my One only 15 days !!!! after dispached order....realy, with the situation on RussianPost (damn!!), even that I'm living in Urals.
The phone is suprisingly best for today on the market, this is how smart must be!"

"I have had my phone for over a week now so thought I would give a quick review.

Battery life is impressive. I use 'Juice Defender Ultimate' to have close control on my phone and I now get over a day and a half out of the battery. Regular use, WiFi, YouTube, Emails, BBC news etc. Maybe 3 hours of music a day.

I have installed PowerAmp Pro and now that I have the settings I want......the speakers are even more amazing.

Pictures in low light and indoor situations........best on the market bar none!

Really thrilled with this phone! "

"I've owned almost every HTC phone since they first started with early windows devices. I can finally say that HTC have got a real winner on their hands. It is all what has been said in these reviews and bar betters battery life and expandable memory I'd call the HTC One the best and most complete phone on the market today. Anyone want my Nokia Lumia 920 and iPhone 5 64gb ?!!"

"I would like to congratulate Clove on excellent customer service before I write this review - Well done.

I have worked in the technology sector for the last 18 years and a techno addict since the age of 12. I have pretty much used every phone in the market.

HTC have come back HARD ! This device is the perfect combination of design,technology and software out on the market I don't think any other phone provides such a rich and rewarding experience. In my opinion there is no point in producing a phone which has technical statistics which are mind blowing but the end user experience is rubbish. HTC sense 5 does an amazing job of sitting on-top of Android and HTC have found a perfect balance.

The hardware design is fantastic as soon as you take the phone out of the box you instantly realize this is a product which made with quality in mind. The screen is gorgeous and vivid the materials used on the glass are perfect.

The battery lift is above average I hit mine hard and I mean hard on usage. The camera works very well and the front facing speakers need to be heard they are amazing.

The only thing I would improve is the addition of expandable memory.

So far the ultimate smartphone in the market. I don't work for HTC :)"

"Before I say anything about this phone people,let me tell you the kind of handsets I have owned in the past few years.
HTC Desire,Galaxy S2,Galaxy S3,Razor i,iPhone 5,HTC One X ,HTC 8X,HTC One X,Sony Xperia Z ( currently own as well),Xperia U,HTC Desire C to name a few. The reason I mentioned the long list of phones is simple. Take my advice into serious consideration before you buy this handset.I am a seasoned & advanced Android user. I have lived with Android ever since the day it was born ( The G1 ). My experience is not limited to Android only. I own an iPad ( with retina display ) n also own an iPhone 5 currently ( IOS ). I have also lived with Windows 8 mobiles for a while lol.

Now I am going to be very short and to the point before you get bored and leave my review half way through lol. I am going to rate the phone in Five major areas ( the most important to an average consumer ).

Design ( 5 stars ):

It's the most beautiful and elegant premium phone mankind has ever made. If you are thinking of the Galaxy S4 don't even think about it. It's a bigger Galaxy S3 made with the same cheap plastic. If you have never owned a Galaxy Phone before then yes by all means go for the Galaxy S4. But remember there is a big difference in ergonomics of a 4.7" screen ( HTC One ) and a 5" screen ( Xperia Z which I also currently own ).

Camera ( 4.5 stars ):

Too many technical details are needed here in order to understand the Ultrapixel technology used in HTC One. But in short HTC One is using 4 MP camera with an Ultrapixel sensor. A sensor which HTC claims brings 3 times the more light then a regular sensor in a normal mobile camera. In order to test this I used it against iPhone 5 ( which I also currently own ) and Xperia Z ( which i also own n has a 13 MP camera ) under all lighting conditions. Results were amazing. It had the best low light performance i have ever seen in any phone camera. Normal day light shots were excellent as well but got pixelated once zoomed in due to low 4 MP. But u won't even notice that if u r uploading pics on Facebook or sending them via whtsapp or viber. It wasn't a problem for me cuz phone cameras r meant for that purpose anyway n my pics were v decent wen uploaded on facebook.

Performance : ( 5 Stars )

Simply mind boggling performance. With the worlds fastest chip ( currently available ) Snapdragon 600 at 1.7 Ghz with 2 Gig of Ram it just refuses to slow down. I am a v heavy user and the phone just doesn't slow down n is fast and responsive n silky smooth. Lot of ppl after reading my review will be thinking about the Galaxy S4. It's no faster then the HTC ONE. S4 will also be using the Snapdragon 600 chip with a little more clock speed of 1.9 Ghz. Difference is so minimal ( 200 MHz ) that it won't b noticeable to us at all.

Battery : ( 5 Stars )

Big 2300 mAh battery is used in HTC One. It is the biggest battery HTC has ever used in any of there phones. Results r amazing. I am able to get full day of use out of the phone easily now that i have had the phone for a week. People battery is not an issue with this handset which past HTC sets had an issue with. As long as u r like me ( average usage ) checking Facebook ,whtsapp,viber and emails n surfing the web or reading articles n listening to music battery should last you a day easy. Like with any smart phone these days if u r going to play games and watch movies then obviously the battery will drain out quicker.

Sound : ( 5 stars )

This is my personal favourite. It's the worlds first phone to have two speakers at the front of the phone. It's also the worlds loudest phone ( lab tests carried out ). If you don't believe the lab tests then listen to me. People I have never ever ever heard sound like this from any phone ever in my life. It's crispy and clear with a lots of bass. Watched a few movies on it and was shockingly surprised how good the sound was on this bad boy ( thanks to Beats Audio ). No wonder HTC calls it Boomsound.

I obviously cudnt cover everything but I tried. I highly recommend this phone as its simply the best phone out there and the one to beat in 2013. If u r not bothered about the ergonomics and cheap construction and can also live with a average sound on a phone ( after experiencing sound on the S3 for 6 months ) then by all means go for the Galaxy S4 ( I personally wouldn't ). To me a phone has to look good & feel practical ( specially one hand use ). I will leave the rest for you to decide. Choice is yours. Ether u make UR own mind up or take advice of someone who has nearly owned all the top phones world has ever produced. Good luck!!!!"

"Hands down the best smartphone I've ever had. The One has it all:

- Best screen money can buy
- excellent camera
- excellent build quality and choice of materials
- extremely fast, no lag whatsoever
- excellent speaker
- excellent reception
- excellent call quality
- very good battery life

Every phone I've previously used missed at least one of these. Not the HTC One - it's the first phone I'd call perfect."
