The HTC One is the company's newest flagship smartphone, and it's an incredible device all around.  Coming soon to AT&T, Sprint, and T-Mobile, the One offers a 1.7 GHz quad-core Snapdragon 600 CPU, 4.7-inch 1080p HD display, 4-ultrapixel camera with HTC Zoe (more on that in the video), 2,300 mAh non-removable battery, 32/64 GB of internal storage, and Android 4.1 Jelly Bean with HTC Sense 5.  HTC Zoe is a fun new camera feature that allows the user to record three second video snippets for inclusion in a Zoe Share video, and BlinkFeed is a great feature for first-time Android users and seasoned veterans alike.

In the looks department, the HTC One may be the most gorgeous Android handset ever created.  Yet it's going against the Samsung Galaxy S 4, a phone backed by a company with an endless marketing budget.  And while features like BlinkFeed and HTC Zoe are incredibly significant for the consumer, the Galaxy S 4 offers some great software value-adds that Sense 5 doesn't, so consumers may be wooed by the extra software goodies it has to offer.  Part 1 of 2.
