Customer Review

Although ... refers to a song of American singer Nelly US, but also the statement of the new HTC One could be - and they would be rightly! After a seemingly endless wait for a few days and I'm finally in possession of the One and little saddened that I can publish only as much later my recession now. The wait, however, has completely paid off and I am now in possession of the "Black Beauty".

To my admiration to express, the following sentence first: The One is by far the nicest and most qualified device that I have been obsessed. And I can look back on a number of top smartphones. Starting with the Optimus Speed, on the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc, the Galaxy S2, the Xperia Play, the S3 and the iPhone 4S - until now to the One. I know - reviews, how could you be otherwise - are always subjective and my opinion does not need to coincide with the opinions of other users who are probably as high praise, the S4 or the iPhone 5. But I will lead the main arguments into the field that make the ONE for me quite clearly the number one.

+ The look and feel is brilliant. If I have to complain about the product clearly decrease in HTC. Only in the second attempt I received my flawless one, before there was lousy - and I mean really lousy - gaps. As easily fit 3.4 piece of paper into each other. This must not happen! At a designated top product in this price range, this can mean a death blow!

If you've finally caught but a one that is flawless, one looks forward each time to take this in your hands. The aluminum feels great and I can see no greasy smears the black one. However, one should also each ONE users be clear who relies on aluminum must give much more attention to his device. Carelessness are quickly rewarded with silver scratches. However, I have consciously decided on the appearance because the smartphones these days anyway almost anything can and differ only by the optics. And because the One stands out easily. The design and processing are currently looking for their peers.

+ The brilliant Full HD display. The writing is sharp, the colors and of course the size of nearly ideal. Something small would in my opinion does not hurt, but the trend is, unfortunately, to 7 "screen ...

+ HTC boom sound. Yes, the sound is booming clearly with this device. The combination with Beats by Dr. Dre bring the owners great sound experience. Even without headphones make the two stereo speakers noticeable and provide - for a smartphone - a really good sound.

+ Performance. The One relies on four cores a 1.5 Ghz and the benchmarks are to play anywhere up front. I'm interested in but only on the edge - as users is important to me that everything is running very fast and not increased or jerky. There could also have 2 or 8 cores - would make no difference.

+ Functionality. The One can be initially very good use, even with one hand works yet. Ok, certainly not suitable for little hands. The battery life is measured in terms of performance is very good - for two days at normal use are easily splashing around - but it comes to the usage of. It should be noted that users who lament a lack of battery life should consider again how they use their device. Of course, the battery is within a couple of hours over if I ever play with the device, surf or whatever do ... But that's with any other device in this price range different!

+ Ultra pixels. The Cam was extremely hyped in advance. I consider the image quality as quite successful - the colors appear natural and especially in low light comes joy. However, one must always keep in mind that this is a Handycam. If you want to complain about here as well - please, let him - but who wants the outstanding quality please take a DSLR and pay alone for the camera 500-600 euros.

To times the criticisms of some "critics" to address. Yes, the battery can not be exchanged and YES, the memory can not expand ... friends, since you even to be honest. Keep it really more than 2.3 years, a and the same product? Ok, the one I could imagine it, but this is small-minded. If in the bending of the battery within two years of going there warranty. And who needs more than 32GB + 25GB Dropbox storage, I recommend just a notebook - I have more memory ...

However, no device is perfect. Not even the one - but then HTC could not indeed surpass)

The key assignment is used to. It would have been nice if the HTC logo could be used as a button. 2 keys are indeed still one more than the apple, but 3 would certainly have been better. The pressure point must first be found.

Blink Feed. Well, I hardly use it, but who is so much disturbs that can change the homescreen and the good old HTC user interface.

These are so far as the only points that I noticed. Over time, certainly there are further experience, but so far the HTC One is very clear to me the Number One on the smartphone market. Anyone involved with its rustic Smarthphone attacks better products made of polycarbonate, but under let this brainless Gebashe which product is the best now. That's another for everyone. I admit that one at least is no longer here and Samsung and Co have clearly lost this time in my eyes.
