HTC is good

Phone owned for more than a year

I'm very happy with this phone. Overall it's very smooth and fluid, a painless experience. Works well. One of the speakers broke after it fell 5 feet but I can still hear calls and audio just not "stereo style" audio

I have this phone for 2 years and it still working great with no faults at all .
it has a 4.1.1 jelly bean and sense 4+ , the music is better with beats audio built in.
the phone in this category is much better than samsung s2/s3 and iphone 4s.
