Please read until then complain ....

Servus Amazonians, after 2 weeks with my HTC One I think it's time for a first written impression. Equal first I'm not Samsung / Apple or HTC hater / advocate, but I think I may have passed from the model generations that I sooner or later my name was allowed / had already talk of experience.

So enough talk ... Now the star of this review to right as well as from HTC itself advertised at the top of the Champiopns League play along! HTC One, a dream, milled from a block of anodised aluminum perfectly finished Beautiful appearance (in my unit) no, not even a still so small gap is seen somewhere to feel or. Regarding this point one can only say: BRAVO HTC! more than anything done properly, if at all can keep up here only the Iphone family, then very very long time comes to my mind only times nothing more to be somewhere on the horizon even a Sony Xperia Z and a Nokia Lumia appears. And here at the perfect finish, I must also mention the same point as the only really annoys me.

The hardware keys, ie on / off button and the volume up / down rocker even these are beautiful to look at, but these are so "flat" incorporated that they hardly or only with great difficulty sensing can if you do not look (fe in the pocket or in the dark) which is again an additional obstacle that the device looks the same at the top and bottom, clearly one can say "too stupid" but I have to, even after 2 copious weeks tests almost always resist about angry why not a has half a millimeter more draufgepackt on the hardware keys !? But good is just so and you can not change, is worth to hire nor the keys a very nice and firm pressure point have similar to the One X +.

While we're on the subject of keys sin I stay there even shortly :-). What a great deal and was often criticized is the only One 2 "soft keys" are available. so absurd that sounds but it's really so, and who used to live from the Android family 3 or 4 keys was initially do is relatively difficult here, just lacks a button! I persölich got me very quickly get used to and have to say now: Why not earlier? Is it like butter by hand!

The next point I would like to address some of the reception power of the One. Quite honestly here I had very very strong concern that not the Ultimate "handle in the toilet" has succeeded here as generally known aluminum Not necessarily is the best conductor for radiation, and HTC has MMN earlier often frittered away here (eg . Desire HD or Sensation / XE).
All who have reservations on the matter, let them be. The reception is really Exemplary all respect even got in our cellar :-) reception, with my old Sensation XE impossible! It's what the class which polycarbonate strips in and around the housing account for everything I did not think - Super thumbs up. Shortly can call the way you hence and the very clear and verstädlich, was indeed formerly also often a shortcoming by HTC and is fixed with the One.

The camera, the selling point probably the most attention has been paid. Equal first I am not a professional clippers and judgments here for MY personal impression. For me, the camera takes very ordinary and color fidelity images and the images I make with the phone, usually stay there and do not end up on the local hard drive. In fairness, I did it anyway and should have to hide to say at this point, the images do not. Neither in light nor in darker surroundings Missing detail sharpness I could festellen nich, fits as for the way ^^. HTC Zoe, well what can I say the need MMN nobody looks nice and that's it. Chapter camera is definitely in order, and also plays with the top, but to speak of a reference I will refrain from doing anyway the optically the images as I do not really take much compared to SGS3 and Iphone. 5

So we come to the display, here ego short mach! GEIL, better is not fact and good at the moment.

Similarly horny as the display, like the name suggests BOOM SOUND. Again playing the One alone in the field, that sounds for a smartphone already very very good and loud. Run it hits probably best, it really is even at the lowest volume level, and that is no exaggeration, the One is so noisy as some other device that be tinny sound at maximum output, find not necessarily an advantage as I, but should mention will. Perfect as an alarm clock, I now stand in the morning in bed. Qualitatively, it moves on the level of Nokia 5800 music XP, if so someone can do something.

The next highlight of the HTC One's Blink Feed. Often one could read in advance annoying, you do not need, finally replaced the Androidtypischen homescreen. To this end, I can only say I finds great because you actually from all categories which one can select personally so interested and thus "always up to date" is. Although the flashing feed is nich deactivated true, but you have the opportunity and I think that's great that's the setting possible simply to choose its own homescreen as home, very well thought along HTC! Again, thumbs up.

To conclude my review, I would like to wehleidigste and probably most kritisierteste "problem" of the ONE come: the permanently installed battery and no SD slot vohandene.
Do not get me wrong, but if I put 600 euros and more on the table must inform I previously what I buy and what is possibly to draw a "no go" into consideration. What is there so read on the net because of "scrap ey Alda battery's fixed" and "Man 26 gig only Samsung has at least 36" I can only say sorry folks my school was free and your have been in vain!
in times of Clouds like Dropbox (25GB included in ONE) you need the really nich. Is incomprehensible to me why I buy something which I know that bother me 2 things seriously and it will be returned at the end resist. Personally, I'm very good with the available 26 Gig, had the One X + I think kanpp 58 and was very far from a full memory! The battery is reflected very brave despite the sheer power of the One, and comes with no problems throughout the day, even with intensive use. 2 days, could I have not tried to be there too sure!

Conclusion: Fantastic device, raised performance and useful features unhelpful, and perfect down to the hardware buttons in my eyes-thought high end device. Buy recommendation? Clearly accesses! The price is certainly tumble once the S4 appears. Until then you all the best and I hope I could help you a bit with my "short" contribution to this year's Champions League winners.

If you still notice me more shortcomings or positive things I will of course update by late filing. HF
