Im still going for the xperia z... this is really nice though

13. pwnarena posted on 19 Feb 2013, 10:27 6 1

i'll get the cheaper one. they're equally good with their owns strengths and weaknesses. it's the price that'll determine preference.

Tell me how you will go to the Xperia Z and your pic is HTC

this was bad joke of the year... why you need a inferior phone.. which has baddd camera.. and lower processor....

12. RiseAgainst94 posted on 19 Feb 2013, 10:27 8 4

I would get the One over the xperia Z any day, but to each their own.

Love the pic that HTC provided lol, it looks like garbage. Competitor X and Y must be 5 years old phones.

"For comparison, the Sony Xperia Z has a 1.1 micron pixel, the Nokia 808 PureView, Lumia 920, Galaxy S III and iPhone 5 sport 1.4 micron pixels, and things pick up at the Nokia N8 with 1.75 micron"

Nokia N8 preceded its time and it still has the best camera phone.

How great is Nokia !!!.

you forgot the "to reach 2 microns in the HTC One"
So Xperia Z have 1.1 to reach 2, the others have 1.4 and N8 1.75 to reach 2

But overall the Nokia N8 is waaay better:
N8: 12.1 Mpx * (1.75 micron)^2
is way better than
One: 4 Mpx * (2 micron)^2
It is not specified if that is the size of the side of the pixel or the surface of the pixel so I chose the former.

the nokia 808 pixel size is 1,4 microns in 38,4 megapixel camera mode but in 8megapixel images the pixel size is 3,17microns and in 5 megapixel mode (still more resolution picture than the 4megapixel pictures of the htc one) the pixel size is 4,01microns (two times bigger than the htc one)
So it is false that the htc pixels are bigger than those of the nokia 808 in any of the pureview modes

this is promising. this will bring htc back on track alright. love the new sense and can't wait for the camera results. and that slcd-3 screen looks good. cant wait for the review. a true gamechanger by htc. wish you all the best.

Can't wait for the Nokia 808 Pureview and HTC One comparison.. Will it be the oversampling tech? Or the ultra (large) pixels? I'm thinking Nokia's 808 will take better 4MP shots than the HTC One.. Imagine the amount of oversampling for a 4MP shot!

Yeah, I think that the war has just begun, between HTC and Nokia, better for us!!

Reliance communication will offer HTC One in indiahttp://www.mobalian.in/2013/02/report-htc-one-coming-to-india-by-march.html

hope they will add a worthy price tag, an arrogant price tag will never work in india .. ..

It's all great on paper, and does look very promising for HTC. I'll wait and see how it stacks up to Nokia's PureView technology.

samsung galaxy s4 will be a game changer

14. RiseAgainst94 posted on 19 Feb 2013, 10:27 11 3

No it won't. It will be more of the same just better quality.

It's just stretched out 4S with a metal back plate and a colored metal band. They look fairly similar.

You meant ALL the Samsung phones that come out every other week or so? They all look the same. And weeks from now, the Note 8.0. It will be DOA for sure.

Different, but not better. The GSII looks better than the GSIII.

i heard samsung will be moving their launching date for the siv. they're trying to find newer tricks to compete. beefing up the processor, RAM, and battery seems to have become passe these days.

Not everytime. One X is a very good phone except the battery.

Right! And made with cheap plastic... You can make plastic all shiny and sh*+ but it's still plastic. Ha

I do think we have to wait for reviews to call it a game changer, but you have to give HTC a hand here for taking another step in the camera realm.

46. gwuhua1984 posted on 19 Feb 2013, 12:00 0 0

I'm still waiting to see your posts on the other HTC One articles.

55. Berzerk000 posted on 19 Feb 2013, 12:24 0 0

I've mainly only commented on the design of it (which is absolutely beautiful, aside from the front plate which is only ok), but overall I think the One is an absolutely amazing device from what I've read. All my expectations from it were met, and I can't wait to get some hands on time with it myself in March to decide if it's right for me or not. Another thing, the carrier availability list was a very nice thing to look at, that was always one of HTC's downfalls, lack of availability.

I'm not sure which processor you were wishing for on the One, were you expecting the 600?

You don't need a SD slot with 64GB of internal storage.

57. esinisa posted on 19 Feb 2013, 12:44 1 2

SD cards can have other purposes, not just memory expansion.
