In my view, the following features are KO criteria:
1.
The battery is firmly installed. The life cycles of the batteries used are known. The normal phone users, is so if the battery wears off in one or two years of performance or breaks down, sending his cell phone or need for repair.
. 2
The HTC does not allow for memory expansion. An external Micro Memory Card can not be used. From phone memory of 16 GB remain in effect only approx. 10GB left. Other storage solutions with USB do not work or are cumbersome and therefore the phone loses its appeal and its use possibilities.
I then bought myself the S4 Mini. In the S4 to 64 GB memory cards can be used .....
So Beauty has its price, here in the form of the disadvantages. Therefore, the practical I preferred this time.
Addendum of 02/01/2014 to my review:
It's frightening how tried in the comments to make on this review "Mood". Amazingly, this dive of Öferten the same name, the other less positive consumer opinions try to influence. I can not help feeling that professional "positive reviews" have now chosen the path to dissuade critical consumers and to teach how to make has reviews and product ratings.
Furthermore, I was now at a discount store and have mini inquired again because the HTC One. The quality problems described in other reviews as splintering display when falling from a relatively low level, as well as defects in workmanship and translucence of the lighting on the housing edge. What is there to gloss?
Incidentally, my consumers think that this smartphone is a bad design. In fact, a free space of approx. 10 GB, no way for a memory expansion card and a battery that is permanently installed and technically has its predefined, brief life than the device itself, no longer appropriate. Then refer to a Dropbox or on the storage options in Google Drive or OTC USB sticks, is ridiculous.
And, at the claque of HTC: Let it be and the people your opinion. Demanded by many research elsewhere, ie in retail and in front of my purchase, I have now made up and which led to the result that I now only only rate this product marked with an asterisk. The value for money is wrong.
