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
No user replaceable battery
No microSD card slot
Strongly flavored Android skin. No removable battery or SD card slot. Sprint LTE is currently limited market
So much bloatware. UltraPixel camera creates problems with cropping and zooming
No removable storage
Battery isn't user replaceable. Has only 2 of the usual 3 capacitive buttons
Strongly flavored Android skin. No removable battery or microSD card slot. T-Mobile has very little LTE coverage so far
Volume and power buttons can be hard to locate

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

Build issues
Button layout is not convenient
Bad reception sometimes
Slow battery charging
No card reader
UltraPixel-Camera could be better
No microSD slot support Battery is easily taxed on moderate to heavy use
A few aspects of the Sense 5 UI feel like a step backward
Abstract: HTC announced the HTC One just before MWC 2013 last month and during the annual congress, we went hands on with HTC's smartphone. However, the models we tested were prototypes and despite the delays until the end of the month, we've managed to get our han...

The HTC One is a truly impressive smartphone. We like the sleek design and the phone feels solid in your hand. The build quality and finish are of the highest level, the One really oozes quality. The 4.7-inch Full HD display is outstanding in every aspe...
1080p display; Metal frame is sturdy and luxurious; Extremely powerful; Attractive interface
Black paintwork picks up scuffs incredibly easily; BlinkFeed can't be removed; No immediate way to customise menus; No expandable storage or removable battery; Camera doesn't impress
HTC's latest flagship smart phone brings new software, neat camera tricks and a Full HD display. The super-charged processor and metal construction are more reasons to be excited, but the lack of any standout feature means we'd hold off buying it until...
Excellent build and ergonomics, Fab screen, Sense 5 is visually slick, Great performance
Non-expandable memory, Mediocre battery life, Keyboard needs a visual refresh
The HTC One might be the most desirable phone available right now. Its metal-backed body feels fantastic in the hand, its screen is superb, performance is great and Sense 5 offers some interesting new features that you can choose to side-step if you prefe...

Display, power, design and build, Sense 5 alterations, Zoe camera, summary videos, live Gallery, sound performance
No storage expansion, camera suffers from noise, Blink Feed won't be for everyone
The HTC One is the best phone that HTC has made. The design, the refreshes made to HTC Sense, and the power on offer make this among the best that Android has on offer. There's innovation, there's attention to detail and there's plenty on offer stra...
We always thought that HTC’s One X was cruelly overlooked - its beautiful curved unibody was far better looking than the cheapish Samsung Galaxy S3. HTC’s designers have excelled themselves again this year: the HTC One is gorgeous. A lovingly crafted metal slab almost identical in size to its predecessor, it’s cool to the touch, rock solid, and lies smoothly on a tablet, since the camera doesn’t
As cool as the HTC One looks, there are a few design flaws its creators should be kicking themselves over. HTC’s decision to remove one of the standard control buttons (the multi-tasking tab) to make way for its logo below the screen is an odd one that’ll surprise longtime Android users - instead, you double tap the home button to switch apps.This, you get used to. More frustrating is HTC’s decis
Is the HTC One really the one? Quite possibly. The HTC One is a mighty smartphone, and well worthy of its name. It’s stupendously fast and slick, and packs a phenomenal camera, though we’re not sure that HTC’s Sense software adds to the experience othe...

It's a looker, Eye-lickingly great screen, Universal remote control
Average battery life, Stills don't look good blown up
The Nexus 4 showed us how Android should be done, and the Xperia Z gave us full HD and a sleek, waterproof build. But until the HTC One, we'd never really fallen for an Android phone. The One takes the customisation of Android, the liveliness of Windows ...

The HTC One is a sleek, tough and beautiful handset crammed with a huge variety of fantastic features. It will be an incredible addition to the ever growing family of HTC phones and is by far the best they have produced. The camera is amazing, the audio i...
