HTC knocked this one out of the park! Amazing phone!

Great hardware. Just one problem. It is hard for people like myself on JB 4.2.2 on a GNEX to have to revert back to 4.1.2. Personally I will take software over hardware anyday. This device would have been a monster as a nexus device.
Probably an edge case.
With Sense 5, people wouldn't notice.

Well storage and battery are personal... My battery lasts me the whole day, and I have no problems with the 16gb. Each to his own I guess.
I say get a real phone - Z10. Seriously that HTC One looks sweet, but I wish it was available in black. If someone twisted my arm and forced me, I'd accept it It just goes on the pile of all the other phones I'd love to get, but by the time I will be ABLE to get it it will be old news and a NEW hot phone will be on the market. It's a plot by the tech bloggers to stay employed.
Frankly its not that much of an upgrade over the DNA if any upgrade at that. I'm not blown away with the HTC one at all. I still really want a DNA
I think it's an improvement. I just don't think it's so groundbreaking that it's worth ditching the DNA and spending 6 or 7 hundred dollars on it.
I don't care what kind of phone you have, that's not how I judge someone's worth or intelligence.
Kinda like the Droid DNA S... **please don't hurt me**

I think one of the main selling points is the new "ultrapixel" sensor (allows in 300% more light, has larger pixels--which is different from more pixels) so the camera should be significantly better, and perform well under lowlight. Though, disappointingly enough it seems the rest of the hardware is the same--f/2.0 28mm back lens, 2.1MP front cam, both wide-angle (which is what they always use on their phones, and their phones aren't known for their cameras). I believe the past few HTC phones all essentially had the same sensor/camera hardware specs, and the only difference was the software. I'm reaaaaaaally curious to see if "ultrapixels" = a better-quality camera. The DNA is a 2013-ready phone in all other regards, but its camera essentially performs the same as a late-2011 iPhone 4S (which beats it in low-light).
I don't know if this is a result of the sensor or not, but I've actually found that ISO 100 is essentially the same as ISO 1600 on my DNA--with everything held constant, it just produces a darker image, it doesn't improve clarity or reduce noise. Don't get me wrong--I love my DNA in almost every other regard, but if you're going to release a 2013 phone, you might as well try to improve the camera hardware to at least attempt to rival its contemporaries. All in all, I think a better battery and a better camera would make the HTC One worthwhile--but I still think the DNA is a sexier phone lol.
Personally, I really think HTC should ditch that wide-angle back lens. Too much distortion, and it means anything relatively close-up requires digital zoom; I mean the front lens is almost fisheye, the distortion is so noticeable.. Why didn't HTC revamp their lenses, if they went through the trouble of creating an 'ultrapixel' sensor?
