Mediocre camera
Poor battery life
Sense still has some issues
Not the largest display out there
No crazy cutting edge features. No memory card slot – although 32GB of built in storage should suffice for most
Video quality is pretty good but lighting can be inconsistent and shaky. Sense keyboard can be frustrating

Battery life needs help
Already running an obsolete version of Android
Almost too large for my taste
Non-expandable storage

Battery life
Slow charging
Barely smaller than its 5-inch competition despite smaller display
Camera is not on the flagship level
Poor power key placement
BlinkFeed generates a lot of data traffic
Stuck on Android 4.1.2 which means
It's missing some features of Android 4.2
Like Quick Settings
Which HTC won't make up in its own UI
It's also missing a Menu button
Which isn't supported by some Android applications
Ugly
HTC's information-or
The sealed case design means no SD expansion slot or user-replaceable battery. The BlinkFeed software can't be completely removed
Battery can't be removed
Limited 4G LTE coverage
Button layout could be better
Zoes feel half-baked
Battery life could be better
Zoe function is gimmicky
Too much AT&
T software
Odd button arrangement
No wireless charging
Zoe feels a bit gimmicky
Can be a stretch to operate with one hand
Expensive. No removable battery or memory card slot. Camera performance suffers a bit without HTC's software processing
Heavy Android skin. No removable battery or memory card slot. Lots of bloatware
Gimmicky Zoe feature
Below-average battery life
No removable battery
Zoe feature feels gimmicky
Subpar battery life
Subpar camera quality

So much bloatware. UltraPixel camera creates problems with cropping and zooming

Camera performance
Average battery life
Runs slightly older version of Android
No microSD expansion
A little too large
Zoe not that impressive
BlinkFeed
While useful
Definitely apes WP tiles/Flipboard
Comes with Android 4.1 (4.2 is promised
Though)
Sealed-in battery
Mediocre battery life
Phone runs hot
BlinkFeed isn't that useful yet can't be removed
Sense is better than ever
But still not better than stock Android. Comes with an outdated version of Jelly Bean. The camera is good in low light
But lags everywhere else. No microSD card slot — choose between 32GB and 64GB at the time of purchase
Overall camera quality is meh
And could use better image stabilization. Windows Phone platform still lacks many bigname app and game titles
Non-removable battery
Non-expandable memory
Camera resolution could be higher
Sprint 4G network buildout lags competitors
Camera is a bit disappointing
UltraPixel is a bit too hyped up
Camera is good but not great
Camera only takes 4MP shots
Has inadequate color saturation and sharpness
Off-center Home button can be annoying
Phone is quite tall
Difficult to use with one hand
HTC TV needs more options to be useful
