HTC said it takes 200 minutes to cut each machine a device, and that the effort is evident throughout the form factor of the handset. The company uses a process called zero gap injection molding combine aluminum front and polycarbonate back with the sides, top and bottom. This gives the handset a smooth feel and the premium we prefer the plastic housing on other smartphones, like the Galaxy S4.

DISPLAY

4.7-inch, 1920 x 1080 Super LCD screen 3 HTC One has rich and beautiful visuals. The trailer for "Thor: The Dark World" was strong and colorful on the screen of HTC One, especially during scenes with explosions and gunfire outdoors. When we watched Thor standing in a field holding his mallet, velvet red cape jumped on his brown-orange background. Even with the zoom camera, the face of Chris Hemsworth looked sharp. We could even make tiny bits of straw on the ground.

5-inch, 1080p Super AMOLED screen of the Galaxy S4 is beautiful, too, but the colors looked more specific about the HTC One. This was particularly evident when examining the skin tone on the face of Natalie Portman, who was much more lively and faithful to its true foundation on the HTC One.

AUDIO

HTC BoomSound called for a reason. , Speakers facing forward double provide One standout feature of this phone . When blasting "Smile Like You Mean It " by The Killers with Beats Audio on, one pumped crystal clear tones that were perfectly balanced. We heard the crash symbol drum mixes well with synth and guitar melodies during the opening riff . Voice rang Brandon Flowers set and colorful during the verse and chorus .

HTC (Verizon Wireless) BlinkFeedIf BlinkFeed is too busy for you, HTC offers the possibility to use it as a secondary home screen and a more traditional layout Adding instead. In the lower part of the traditional home screen, you will find the telephone buttons , messages, menu applications, browser and standard camera.

By comparison, the Galaxy S4 captured the worst shot low light during the same circumstances, we could hardly see our subject. The Lumia range of Nokia is leading in this category .

Outdoor photos look pretty good , too. Our picture of a street corner in New York City with Empire State Building in the background on a cloudy day showed accurate colors . Windows and grooves in the buildings along the side of the street have been defined, but the Empire State Building looks a little washed out against the sky. The same photo taken with the Galaxy S4 showed much more detail in the skyscraper , but the colors were much darker. Another image of colorful hats stand on a street vendor had the bold and dynamic and air , especially a pink and white hat.

A video shot with the camcorder from the HTC One seemed clear and colorful as well , especially the brilliance of a taxi drove by the corpus luteum. Shades of royal blue in the dress of a woman also jumped into the gray streets of New York City context.
