Upgrade to HTC One or wait?

[hallmr09]

Hi all,
I have a Droid Razr right now that has started to slow down considerably, and has terrible battery life. I'm due for an upgrade at the end of January and have been considering the HTC One as my next phone. Do you guys think that I should wait for a few months and see what comes out in March or April, or should I just get the HTC One now? I know it's almost a year old at this point, and I'm not sure how its specs are holding up compared to the other phones that are out there.

It's specs will hold their own for a while but since the next HTC and most likely the gs5 will be coming by April or may, I would wait if you can.

Specs are still impressive. The phone is really smooth and overall I like using it. Nice upgrade in my opinion.

That said there should be some nice phones popping here soon like the s5.

If I were to buy right now it would be the LGG2 or the nexus 5

I'm getting a replacement One this week due to some crazy issues but I've really enjoyed it so far

Well there's a lot of things to keep in mind. The HTC One 2 is supposed to release in March or so. Don't quote me on that because it could be before or later. So with that being said I would personally wait for that which will be HTC's next flagship device. However the HTC One is a great device and I absolutely love it. But the Galaxy Note 3, Nexus 5 and LG G2 blow the HTC One out the water with specs such as 2.3 ghtz quad core processors with Snapdragon 800 Pro cpu's. So in that category the HTC One doesn't compete. Also, last but not least software is a big selling point as to why I say you should wait and buy the HTC One 2. It will run Htc Sense 6.0 with the newest version of Kitkat. The current HTC One is scheduled to get Kitkat in January with Sense 5.5, but may not be updated to 6.0. So all in all like I said I love my HTC One, but after awhile it's not going to hold up with top of the line specs that's why I say you should buy a newer device.
Hope this helped!

as others have said, hold on for a month or two if you can.


the htc one 2 is right round the corner!

Yup, wait if you can. If you can't, well, you'll still have an awesome device in the HTC One.

Go to a T-Mobile store get the HTC ONE and JUMP and then JUMP in 6 months to the new HTC DOS

Hold out bro. There are going to be some amazing phones out in the next 6 months and you don't want to be caught wanting them after spending money on the one.

I just received my HtC ONE Blue last friday and I really like it. If you like to make some videos then you'll definitely fell in-love with the HTC Zoe. Crystal clear music, i like the Blinkfeed to keep me updated, nice photos...etc. Its much better than my L920 and iphone4

If you are in the US, the One can be found for $49 at Best Buy currently. Still voted best phone of 2013 by many sites and 9 months after release- It still Rocks!

And Amazon has the One for 1 cent. Yes that is one penny here in the US. Amazing price.
