Competition is fierce

But first, what do we have in the box?
The phone (obviously)
A USB cable (standard and classic among all androphones)
A charger (small)
A ghostly manual
A mini key to unlock the door to Sim on the side.
An in-ear headphone (with two additional sets of ear buds)

Ergonomics
The grip is quite correct.
It is neither too big nor too late.
The finish is flawless.
With friendly anodized effect.
One immediately notes the provision of the two speakers on the top and bottom of the device.

Use

Ignition is fast enough.
This is the version Jelly Bean (not the latest Kitkat), with an overlay of HTC Home.
All runs smoothly or slowdown.
Recent games like "Injustice" take a little time to load, but when the game is launched no special jerks.
Surfing the internet slides alone.
The overlay may disconcert some (especially those like me from Nexus ...), but nothing insurmountable.

The Sound
I think it is the most mobile "sound" that I have ever had in my hands.
To listen to music or play a video rendering is much higher than the competition.
As against the "beat" adds nothing at all rewarding ... I advise to put on "off".
The helmet is a good surprise for-ear, he has a big leaning on serious and a weakness on the medium. However it remains fairly accurate despite its narrow rendering.
It is even (to my taste) better than some commercially.

Telephony
No reception souçi. I would say it is slightly better than the Sony.
Listening (and more fashionable free hand) is very good.

The Picture
The sensor is a notch below, it is pretty quick to the trigger, but the resolution is not at the current market standards (8M °).
It was always the "gadgets" normal modification photo, but it does not replace an optical better.

Memory
16G ° may seem fair, but being a mid-range device (even if the price is quite high) can largely be satisfied.

Autonomy
For now he runs a day (data + wifi, but without Bluetooth).

Bonus:
A warning LED (green) flashes when a message is received (and even if we did not hear the phone ring or vibrate you know you have a message waiting).

The big problem of this phone is its intrinsic quality is very good (except the photo), but has competition ...
... And first Nexus (again).
For the latest model offers more for less ... (° 32G memory, larger screen etc. all for 400 if we take directly from the Google Play).
The trick is whether you want a not too big machine with performance quite correct (but at a fairly high rate compared) or heavy artillery (Nexus 5 and consort).
HTC offer a product that is still within reasonable dimensions to put in any pocket and without tape to eye.

Charge everyone to consider its usual priorities.
