When looking at the phone for the first time, it immediately stands out from all other Androids currently on the market. With a 4.7 inch screen which spreads across the whole of the phone's fascia, you can really make the most of the HTC One's amazing...

Last year’s HTC One was one of the best handsets of the year, and in 2014, the company plans to impress customers with something even better, continuing the reliance on metal, simplicity, and a camera that can handle its own. Another year, another...

To paraphrase a certain cake company’s claim, “HTC designs some exceedingly nice looking handsets”. A prime example of this from the Taiwanese manufacturer is the HTC One offering. This product is a smartphone device which is the subject of this...

The UltraPixel camera is a mite disappointing given the ballyhoo made at its launch, but it proves that HTC is one of just a few mobile companies trying something truly interesting.

So here's the bottom line: I continually, time after time and time again choose to use the HTC One from Verizon over my Samsung Galaxy S3 from T-mobile, whenever I go to grab a phone. See, I have both phones on me at all times--one in the left pocket and...

Complete with design finesse second to none, a screen sharper than the market has ever seen and a processor with more punch than a high school prom, on paper there's nowhere the HTC One falters.But HTC handsets have been tech-spec champs before, with the...

The HTC One dual sim is priced at a very steep Rs 53,590, which is the same price as the new Apple iPhone 5s. This is the official price from HTC so you can find it for a little less online. We fail to see why the addition of an extra SIM and storage...

As we said, this is the best HTC phone ever, without a doubt. But we'll go one better than that: it's the best phone on the market full stop. The Samsung Galaxy S4 isn't far behind at all with its stunning screen and rich detail, but for sheer level of...

There's a whole lot to say about the HTC One, and almost without exception, it's all good. The camera might not be as good as was promised, BlinkFeed won't be for everyone and the Zoe photos could become a little used gimmick, but the overall package...
