About this deal

The last flagship phone in the HTC One series was the HTC One M9, which was announced and released in 2015. Its successor, the HTC 10, is HTC's 2016 flagship phone; however, it did not use the "One" branding in the name. Its successor, the 2017 HTC U11, did not use the "One" branding either. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and that’s certainly the case with the OnePlus 3. It set the standard for “affordable flagships” and since its introduction with seen the likes of Honor, Xiaomi, Oppo, Alcatel, Realme and more follow a similar formula - with varying degrees of success. One thing HTC has been pretty good at over the last few phone generations is in experimenting with different phone constructions. We’ve seen mobiles made of plastic, ceramic and metal – often within the same range. It wasn't just the bendy screen technology that resonated with us though. The screen was bigger because of that curved tech, and it was just a genuinely well built phone with a beautiful glass design.

As you might have guessed – we still like it. In fact we still think the HTC One is one of the best mobile phones on the market even though it’s not quite as fast as some of the newer competitors.

We'd seen the bent screen technology debut the year before in the Galaxy Note Edge, but this was the second iteration and it was vastly improved for the flagship S7 phone. To calculate the average price, we add up the cheapest daily prices of the last 90 days and divide by 90. HTC One X + Overview - HTC Smartphones". Htc.com. Archived from the original on 2013-05-23 .

The HTC One can play pretty much every game the newer top-end phones can handle (that we’ve tried) and sequential updates have only improved the performance of the phone. The white plastic of the silver edition is a terrible dirt magnet, though – it’ll be fine one minute and covered in dark smudges the next. Unless your personal hygiene is much better than ours, of course.

The seams between the HTC One’s plastic and aluminium layers are tight aside from a tiny gap on the top edge of our review sample, and there’s none of the flex you’d see in a plastic-bodied phone. In-hand it feels much more expensive than the top Sony and Samsung phones. From there, the company took the Moto G series to new heights introducing new camera technology as well as new variants that have their own specific impressive features. The latest build of the HTC One software also comes with a new app, KeyVPN. This lets you securely connect to your work computer with your phone – it was a very easy way for HTC to make the phone more Enterprise-friendly. Other than that, you still get everything we talk about in the software section of this review.

The HTC One M9 is fast and the Sense 7 UI is a big improvement, but it doesn't do enough to make it really stand out

HD video recording, video stabilization, slow motion video capture (768 x 432 pixels), HDR video recording The HTC One is a looker, and a phone that’s easy to recognise in the ever-expanding sea of mobiles. It’s far more interesting to look at than its top rival the Samsung Galaxy S4.

The phone’s superlative features remain top of their game too. The HTC One is still the phone that feels best in-hand out of all the top-end Androids, and it has better internal speakers than any of its big-name rivals. However, it now has a rival from its own family. The HTC One M8 has launched and it’s a very good phone indeed. It offers an improved camera, a tweaked design and a slightly larger screen. This is certainly one of the most attractive phones availale, with a more striking, cohesive look than either the Sony Xperia Z or the Samsung Galaxy S4. It’s only the slightly aggressive styling that makes this feel like an HTC-designed device, rather than the one that could have slipped out of Apple’s labs. HTC One max specs". PhoneArena.com.

Ultrapixels, Zoes, Blinkfeed and more: HTC is going all out

The only downside is that the colours are a little warm, so whites look a little yellow, at least when compared to the Super AMOLED display on the Samsung Galaxy S6, for example. This can be quite a common problem with AMOLED panels, but it’s not something I find particularly bothersome on this particular handset. The screen’s peak brightness is also a little low at 347.19cd/m2 when you put it up against its LCD-based rivals, but again this isn’t out of the ordinary for AMOLED display.
