The HTC One Unlocked is the smartphone you’ve been waiting for. This sleek device has an all-aluminum body offering a slim and easy grip. HTC BlinkFeed on your home screen keeps you up to date with what’s important to you. Everything becomes louder and sharper with dual front-facing audio speakers powered by HTC BoomSound. UltraPixel Camera with HTC Zoe captures up to 20 photos to create a 3-second highlight video that will bring your photo gallery to life. This smartphone also works as a TV remote!
Crafted with a distinct zero-gap aluminum unibody, the HTC One is ready to reshape your smartphone experience with a live home screen that streams all of your favorite content, a photo gallery that comes to life, and dual frontal stereo speakers. This 4G LTE-enabled smartphone runs Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean), which combines with HTC Sense to create an amazing mobile experience that’s been re-imagined from the ground up.
The HTC One ensures you’re never out of touch with your world (view larger).
The HTC One’s full metal body features a slim, solid construction with tapered edges for a satisfying grip, and it’s complemented by a brilliant 4.7-inch Full HD 1080p display that resists scratches and reduces glare. It’s powered by a 1.7 GHz quad-core processor, and it’s packed with 32 GB of storage and 2 GB of RAM for excellent multitasking.
The HTC UltraPixel Camera redefines how you capture, relive, and share your most precious moments. With this innovative camera technology, you’ll be able to quickly shoot vivid, true-to-life images with a wide range of colors, even in low light conditions — it lets in 300 percent more light, enabling you to take photos indoors without a flash. And this is accomplished not by increasing the number of megapixels in the camera, but by engineering a more advanced CMOS Sensor, ISP, and optical lens system that captures significantly more light than most 8 or 13 megapixel cameras.
With HTC Zoe mode, press the shutter and the HTC One automatically captures up to 20 photos and a 3-second video — including the last second of images before you tapped the picture button. It can also create a 30-second Zoe Highlight film from each event comprised of Zoes, photos, and videos with professionally designed cuts, transitions, and effects — just ad your choice of pre-loaded soundtrack. These highlight videos can be remixed or set to different themes, and can be easily shared on social networks, email, and other services.
Multi-axis optical image stabilization for the rear camera also helps ensure video footage smoother whether stationary or on the move. Other features and effects include enhanced 360-degree panorama, time sequencing, and object removal. Self portraits and video are also easily captured via the front-facing camera, which supports 1080p video capture.
At the heart of the HTC One experience is HTC BlinkFeed, which transforms your home screen into a single live stream of the things that are most important to you –from sports and technology to games and fashion and even your favorite social network feeds. It’s all customized by you, and it’s constantly updated live.
To see more detail, just tap on any item in your HTC BlinkFeed to view text, pictures and videos, and then share it with just a couple more taps. HTC provides both local and global content from more than 1,400 media sources with more than 10,000 articles per day from a wide variety of media sources.

5 Stars for Superior Hardware Warning: huge review coming.
The ONE to Rule Them All What is there to say about this phone? If I just write about it, I’m just going to ramble on and on. So to save everyone some grief, here are bullet points (my direct comparisons are to the iPhone 5, Samsung Galaxy S3 and Note 2, but mainly to the Galaxy S4):
What a phone. 2012 was the year of the smartphone for 3 big companies: Apple, Samsung and Google. The iphone 5 was about the best looking phone ever made with a solid operating system and excellent support. The Galaxy 3 stole the spotlight with terrific commercials and a solid contender with Apple. And Google released the best phone, in my humble opinion, ever made until that point. The nexus 4 was and is cheap for just $300, receives upgrades from google directly, and is quite simply a stunner. Last year,…
