The HTC One is probably hands-down the best smartphone I have ever had. I've now gone full circle in the smartphone world (with the exception of BlackBerry). I've had an original iPhone all the way to the 3GS, Windows Phone, and now the HTC One. The screen on the One is absolutely gorgeous. It's high pixel density easily bests the competition up to this point. And the build quality is completely spectacular. It's so nice that you'll definitely want to get a case to protect it.
HTC Sense is incredibly enjoyable to use. A lot of reviewers didn't like the 'Blink Feed' feature that aggregates your news into one place, but I found myself checking it very often. To me, it's one of the highlighting features of this phone that separates it from the pack.
The 'boom sound' speakers on the front are excellent. They provide some amazing sound when you're watching videos and listening to music. Its some of the best speakers I've ever heard on a smartphone.
Originally I was skeptical of the camera because it's only a 4 megapixel shooter, but I was just blown away at how good images and video were captured, especially in low light. The Zoe feature is neat when you want to either capture a little video or you're trying to take a picture with a group, and everyone is looking around. And at the end of your day, the pictures are in a gallery and set up like little mini movies. It really brings your day to life without you doing anything but taking the pictures.
Overall, I have nothing but praise for this phone. I'm completely satisfied with the experience I've been having, and I highly recommend it for someone who is looking for a high end smartphone.
The HTC One provides a breathe of fesh air compared to other current smartphones. With its all metal body, it feels great in the hand and provides you with a premium feeling that you don't find in most flagship phones. The display is vibrant and the colors pop out, something that can only be fully experienced if you see it in person. The camera is also another great feature as the new HTC Zoe provides you with features that can remove people in the background, catch the perfect picture by correcting anyone who isn't smiling, or combine multiple action shots into one photo. The ultra-pixel camera allows for better pictures all around especially for low-light conditions. HTC Blinkfeed is another great feature that I enjoy. Before, I was not able to keep up to date with current events going on around the world. Now, it is displayed right on my homescreen and it is easy to flip through the different articles to find one that most interests me. Lastly, Boomsound is amazing! It provides you with a stereo experience and the sound is crisp, loud, and clear.
It's uses are only limited by the quality (not quantity) of the software available.
Because you have TOTALLY BLOWN ME AWAY! I'm probably going to be the 1000th person to say this, but the One's build quality is second to none. You seriously can't understand what everyone is saying until you hold one in your hand. The front stereo speakers are beyond amazing. i actually had to turn down the volume when listening to a music video on YouTube. I dont think anyone has ever said that about speakers on a phone. The phone itself fly's. The quad core snapdragon, coupled with the toned down Sense 5 is stutter-less. Battery is on par with every other top smartphone right now (besides that Razr Maxx of course). OEM's should be terrified of this phone. Nothing out there even comes close to being a contender with this phone in the room. I couldn't be more impressed with what HTC has done.
The build quality is great and it's easy to hold in your hands and the camera definitely lives up to the hype
This is a great phone with great speakers its about time someone put more effort into sound on a smartphone, i also own an iPhone but I feel apple are starting to take their customers for granted.Well done HTC
OS Version 10.1 to be made available soon (Leaked versions out already)
The Z10 is truly a great phone. The only real drawback is lack of applications but the list of apps is growing everyday and the app gap is closing.
Web browsing is smooth and efficient. I was at an election event and I was able to pull up info faster than others' iPhones and also be able to SEARCH the webpage (similar to CTRL-F) on a desktop for a string. The iPhone couldn't search the webpage. Needless to say, people were impressed with the z10 browser.
E-mails are much more efficient on the z10 than iPhone or Android. See BlackBerry Hub

I just got free Boost Mobile minutes from: http://freeboostmobileminutes.com
this looks like a more expensive and classy. in comparison to samsung s 4 which look like plasic
Even though the apps are limited. There is a way that you can use where you can get any android app onto the Z10
Still a contender!,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
I just got mine from the at&t store yesterday. I am moving from the One X so no major learning curve. I have been with HTC now for several years and I really like their good quality. The screen is stunning, the sound is loud. Feels very sturdy and after a long time it felt like those old warhorse Nokia's that are build to endure a war. Couple of issues first I still feel that the battery life is going to be average. It probably will last till about 7 PM for my typical usage. Today is the first day though and it started pretty much early from 5 AM. The other grip I now have is the htc keyboard. They should introduce a space when you select the word from predictions.
I will update with more in a week. I would definitely recommend to buy this phone.
best value for money when camparing with iphone
I picked up the phone on Friday the day it came out. Let me tell you what the SOUND is amazing! The feel and look of the phone is stunning. Not to mention the camera is probably the best I have had a phone. Plenty of light gets in no matter what. I am probably a medium user so I get about a day plus a bit more out of my battery. Could use a bigger battery but which phone couldn't? I think for most android users this is the phone we have been waiting for.
almost that i disaid to take the sg4 but after seein this phone i ching my mined
