From iPhone 4 with MacBook Air for Android and Google

But the HTC One 2 years later: WOW!

It's just madness every day anew in order to work and to reach the goal: It does not matter what you do!
It succeeds. Certainly. For Sure.

Short to design, size and handling:

My initial fears, the device would be too large and that would be a hindrance, are handled in the absolute opposite. It is much more convenient because of rounding and the extremely minimal exterior better (!) In your pocket as my previous iPhone. 4
I think it is by the way remarkable that Apple did not make it to this day to produce an aluminum unibody enclosure and built into the iPhone, where they were Markteinführer of smartphones and the Unibody MacBooks at (laptops from Apple).

The temperature of the back is never hot or hot compared to the Galaxy S4 and many other smartphones. Top!

The display is slightly smaller than the S4, which I feel much more comfortable overall.

Furthermore, it is really fun and is good quickly possible to write also in portrait mode. -Also A little longer texts!

The speakers can not be blocked by the user also convenient and the HTC must not be turned upside down in order to achieve a good sound in good volume as it is in the S3 Mini is the case for example.

I use the HTC for all:

-Google Chrome (The app "Send to My Phone" and "synchronizing Tabs" are simply practical and Apple think!)
-Google Calendar - Free
-Google Email - Free
-Google Contacts - Free
-Google Music (! Forgets iTunes people upload 20,000 songs in the cloud music; I have thrown out 30 for iTunes Match) - Free
-Google Drive (Documents: Apple with online office still -to today's date in the public beta phase) - Free

-Evernote (For notes; better than the tools [notes, reminders] by Apple in conjunction with MacBook Air and iCloud) - Free
-Readability (Representing readability and core elements on text pages without remaining content: Is Apple just think again!) - Free
-Dropbox (Parallel to Google Drive: It is easier and more compatible; You get free more memory for 2 years) - free
-Games - Cheaper than the iPhone
-Mobilkamera

Both the facility, as well as the use is really simple, reliable, stable, functional, logical and quickly done. -So How it should be and must !!

Toll compared to iOS and Apple: It is no longer trapped in a golden cage!
Free File and System Manager allow full access to the folder structure and offer the possibility of (automated) system cleanup. This makes the HTC (like all Android smartphones) into an independent, adult, classical computer. -apart From the touch screen and shorter battery life.
The clearest of transfer passengers noted this to the almost limitless choices, what he wants to do for now with the to divide content. -Brilliant!

The wireless, as well as 3.5 mm jack output of music works very well and reliably.

The same applies to the hotspot with laptop: Both facility, safety and quality. Whether Bluetooth, WiFi or USB.
Although I would like to point out that WiFi is then much better taken a USB cable with good network coverage and intensive use over 30 minutes, because it is the battery-killer otherwise. But -This is at all smartphones so!
A second bought mini-USB to USB bypasses the problem easily. No additional costs 10.

I would like to particularly highlight the following:

HTC Sense has been updated. This allows 'Blink Feed' to disable and enables adjustment of short setups you from the top of the screen pulls down. This makes the OS more beautiful and minimal. By contrast, Apple has no chance!
-All Apps can be hidden so that they can no longer see.
-The Folder structures and settings are much more pronounced and more sophisticated than the iPhone and can be fun to use and optimization
-The Speakers are great if you need something spontaneously louder music. I do not know any mobile device with a comparable quality of the speakers! [Although I must say that I am a bed Tivoli radio have, use the dining room with Bose Bluetooth Sync, as well as in the living room (only jack) and in the car. On foot Bluetooth headset; At home landline is used with its own phone (keyword: Call Forwarding)]
-The Unibody similar -So not much deviation from Apple's MacBook series scratch resistant. That's just handsome! It also fits the design as chalk and cheese to the laptops from Apple.
-The HTC One is to me several times already fallen down (No stone floor; a maximum of 150 cm height) and I have to say: It's really designed stable and robust!

Remarks:

-I Had decided against the dual SIM version, because this will be 1st unavailable officially here and 2. because it is not too difficult is the SIM at Grenzüberflug- / ride switch.
-I Own a 2nd SIM card with 1.5GB of data volume at Vodafone abroad
-I Consume for my smartphone in DE approximately 1GB of data per month
-I Have my MacBook Air a separate SIM card with 3GB of data per month

CONCLUSION:

It is fun to work with this top-quality product and to be on the road. There a never lets you down. It lags, buggt and annoying not, unless it is configured correctly.
The graphical interface is just great as well as feel and design. It is the best smartphone in my eyes that it is currently in EN available on the market at this price.
-or Even davor- Compared to 2010, HTC has learned powerful and very quickly so. To the delight of customers.

I'm looking forward to the next generation and can not wait to hold them in his hands.
With prices amount to only 50% of the iPhone 5S with 32GB and even a better quality but can -at least to be delivered equivalent Smartphone you quietly a year buy a new device. -And That at the same cost!

Thank HTC.

I hope you liked the review. Am looking forward to comments and remarks.
