Engadget's HTC One review

[reddragon72]

They have done a decent job, but like all reviews not much new till you get to the photo's

Photos link. HTC One sample shots

Review link HTC One review (2013)

The last 3-4 photo's do a comparison and a REALLY great job of it for just a few comparison shots.

Best external speakers on a phone ever

Their favorite camera on a phone

Their favorite phone design

The best screen too

Looks to be a huge hit... Let's see how Sammy could top this...

I don't think they can top it, but they don't have to. They're in the lead by a country mile. All they have to do is make some slight improvements here and there and that thing will sell like nickel wings @ Hooters on topless night. Which is good. It will keep HTC on their game. The fact of the matter is that the One X was a superior phone to the GS3. I'm not just saying that because I'm in HTC fan, though I am a huge fan. Find the top 20 or 30 sites that actually know tech and the One X was the better reviewed phone. But the GS3 beat it silly in sales. Partly because of marketing, partly because it really is a good device, partly because they were able to release the same exact thing worldwide, which was a first for any Android OEM and partly (I feel, anyway) because there was a little bit of David to Apple's Goliath in Samsung last year. Just look at all the press the trial was getting, and it wasn't good press for Apple.

Can't wait for Thursday and then the next month or so, as we all get these in our grubby little hands. LET THE GAMES BEGIN!

The verge negatively commented on the camera, but when I look at engadget's photos, the colors look really natural and even if zoomed in you can see more noise, the overall quality is just good... More dynamic range. Looks like the ultrapixels are not a gimmick, the quality is nothing like a 4 mpx photo

The Verge kinda hates on lots of phones. I take it with a grain of salt.

Confirms that the crap-plastic Samsung S4 is DEAD on arrival.
HTC has a big hit on their hands.

How does the weight of the HTC One compare to the GS3?

Uh, how does this confirm anything about the GS4? And unless you're forgetting, the One X/X+ was a device on par with, or better than the GS3, but as a previous poster in this thread mentioned the GS3 outsold the One X by an extraordinary amount.

That thread in the Samsung area labeling the GS4 as "dead on arrival" is just plain silly. It's a Galaxy device from Samsung, it's going to sell. Whoever began the phrase for the GS4 is utterly ignorant.

EDIT: I love the One, just as I loved the One X+ and the DNA. But the fact of the matter is the Galaxy series is far more successful than anything HTC has produced.

Haha, sure is. I had my first cell phone with them, too. It's a nod to where I started.

Why do you think that is?

Marketing, marketing, marketing. Statistics were released today showing Samsung outspent Apple when it comes to advertising, and that's not surprising.

EDIT: Nevermind, I take it back...I'll check back to the forums after I get my ONE. Until then I can't take the trolls anymore. Every single thread turns south way too fast. Peace.

The only way the One will be able to take on the S4 is with ads, The one is a super awesome phone and I have no doubt the s4 will be one too BUT,Samsung does a great job with advertising their phones and htc does horrible, I see maybe a few billboards around my city for the droid dna. Samsung has money for ads I'm not too sure HTC does.

Verizon takes control of the advertising for the droid devices.

Great phone with a great camera but come on HTC, stop making the batteries non replaceable and stop removing memory cards!

Then if they corrected those errors and actually added some new features like samsung is doing I'd actually buy this phone
