Htc One ATT Review
Hi everybody this is amine here, so i began my
review with htc one att new smartphone for the year 2013. this is the
HTC One this is right here in the United States working with AT&T's Ltd
network and it is in silver collar also a black color and this phone has 32
GB's of internal storage, AT&T also offers a 64 gigabyte model that you can
purchase online only so with that being said let me go ahead and start the
review and see if deserves a spot in your pocket
The best
Android hardware
Design
I want to talk about the design on this phone
first. I wanna tell you guys how much I
love the design here It is all in aluminum enclosure which I think feels great
in-hand also looks awesome as well and
it's very comfortable in the hand,and i really like to hold this phone
it feels great. Just for change AT&T put their logo on the back of the
device with HTC's Beats Audio logo. I've been using this phone for about a week
and this is an Android phone and it is not made a plastic just like Samsung
they have been contentusing plastic on their devices. And I think that's what's
going to separate this phone from all those other Android phones that you can
buy right now, I'm hoping that will help HTC make a comeback this year because
they have been struggling in years past so I really can't say enough about.Thisphone
one of the best design phones I ever used. next I want to talk about some others
design elements on the top you got the sleep/wake button and the IR
blasterwhich you can use this to control your TV, ittook about 3 minutesto set
up really easily and works well so I'm glad that HTC included that in here
The
Speakers
Another thing i wanna talk about that are the
speakers so these are what HTC is calling them “boom sound” speakers they are
stereo setup and they sound really good for a smartphone I mean the sound loud
the quality is great I also like the placement of the speakers a lot of other
smartphones they either place on the back the device or the bottom And to me
that kinda stupid because if the speakers are located on the bottom, you set
the phone down you know it's going to distorts the audio quality or even if
you're holding in your hand your hands gonna block outs some of the volume as
well same thing with the iPhone already got speakers located on the bottom if
I'm of holding the phone in landscape mode watching a video or playing a game
my hands gonna block out some of the volume too so I like the placement in here
and the quality is very good so i love the HTC boom sound speakers
The
display
So the next thing I want to talk about is the
display here is also very good it's a 1080p resolution on a 4.7 inch screen so
this phone has one of the highest pixel densities or the highest density pixel
out there right now which is great the screen looks sharp and everything looks
great Colors really great as well. You’ll be very pleased with the display on
this phone if you choose to purchase it.
So I think HTC do a great a grey aluminum body
here that looks great feels great speakers incorporated on this phone and an
awesome display.
The Camera
the most important thing i wanna talk about it
in this article is the camera on the HTC One, and the camera is very
interesting it's only 4 mega pixel camera I think most consumers here they're
going to be kind of shocked and think that the camera is bad, but that is definitely
a common misconception there's something called the megapixel ORSwhen basically
smartphones continue to add more pixels totheir phonesevery year like the
iPhone with 8-megapixel camera,also the Galaxy
S4 with a 13-megapixel cameraand consumer they think the more megapixels the
better, and that's simply not true and without going into too much detail.what
HTC is able to do by having a 4 megapixel camerais allow the camera to take a
much more light than other smartphones out there so you're going to have much
better low-light performance. The more pics I take the more I love this great
camera. (The UltraPixel camera is a bit of a letdown when it comes to capturing
fine detail).
I want to talk about some the camera features
here the first one is the filter is pretty cool thing, the next thing is the
just the general photo options, you can choose between the front and the main
camera, you gotthe different scenes(HDR,night,sweep panorama). For the video
capture mode you can choose to do a slow motion video or fast HD 60 fps or video
HDR so if you're really looking to get the best shot possibly just go on with
this cool stuff and features that you have.
So moving to the new feature of the HTC One is
called HTC Zoe. You can activate by tapping on camera icon, so basically what
Zoe does is allows you to not have to decide between taking a photo or a video.
so let’s say you're in sport event you're trying to get take a good action shot
of somebody you can use this feature to try and help get you that great action
shot, so basically what does it takes a 3 second video and during those 3
second video It take 20 shot, and then you can swipe through the video and see
those 20 different images and choose the one that you feel is best action shots
you're trying to get. You can also do with that HTC Zoe is kinda creating a
sequence photo so you can merge the different action shots together so I think
overall the camera here is very nice the video quality also is great. I think
consumers are going to appreciate that .they pretty much have full control over
the camera here on this phone
I know this review is kind of long so take a
break with this great vide on htc one.
The software
next I wanted to talk about the software on
this phone this is running on Android 4.2
I want to talk about some the included features that HTC has here the first one is HTC BlinkFeed is kinda a home screen on your device and basically what it does is pull in news from different web sources, you've got the picture and the title of the Article if you're interested you can go ahead and select one and go ahead and bring up that news article and read it, that's kinda cool it doesn't actually bring it into a web browser I don't know how many people are gonna actually want to use this,I personally I think it's nice that HTC recognizes that a lot of people use their phone for checking notifications on like Twitter or Facebook or what news articles there are out there.So you can bring up any notification. I think integrates very nicely it works well if you don't like it what you can do is just moveoff to the side,there's no way to actually removethis software itself.I'm a personally I don't think that bad I don't thinkit's really draining my battery is something I set off to the side and Idon't use itI can quickly set as my home panel. you also got the clock herethe time the date as well so I think that's a nice widget they put up thereyou also find this widget in the App Store.

The next software feature want to talk about
is the keyboard on this phone, I found it to be fantastic and allow me to say
is the fastest of any android smartphone i used out there and it's got some
great auto correction software on here as well to fixing errors I might have
its works very well.
the next thing i wanna talk about its
notification menu so there are a quick settings available here by default this
is a third party app that installed I'm hoping HTC will include that in a
future update I think it's a very well
organized it's very easy to navigate through I haven't personally used sense on
another HTC smartphone before so I'm not sure how this compares to other
versions of sense but I will say my experience with sense 5.0 has been very
positive and I find it very easy to navigate.
The
performance
So the next thing to talk about is the
performance of the HTC One and this smartphone is powered by a 1.7GHz Qualcomm
Snapdragon 600 quad-core processor and 2GB of RAM, so that's a really great
performance. Here everything is smooth games run very well and actually don't
crash or anything so it's its overall really great performance for an Android
device and it's what you would expect from a high-end Android smartphone
The
battery
First I wanna tell you that the high resolutions
display and also performsof the device affect battery life.
Well, I found the battery life on the HTC Oneto be quite adequate, I usually
take this phone off the charger around 6 in the morning and I usually put it
back on the charger around 8 or 9 o'clock at night, during the day I got text
messages coming in I've got 2 email accountsthat I receive emails every five
minutes, i watch videos on YouTube and I played some games and I browse the
web.
I think that most importantthing is gettingthrough that day if you're able to
get through the day and be able to putthe chargeron the device anduse the next
day that prettymuch good.
There are definitely phones out therethat last longer than this if youconsider
yourself heavy user.
It is really hard to measurebattery life because so many peopleuse their
phonesdifferently, they do different thingsand that's all going to affectbattery
life.Another thing is mobile data connection, there’s always concern that speedier data networks will effect on battery life in a negative way, but with my tests and my usage with AT&T network, it was really good.
Call Quality and
Networking
AT&T must be proud because the LTE network
gets better and better. The network speeds at NY Cityi was able to get a
12Mbps, the HSPA+ network performs really good with a 2Mbps upload speed and 10
Mbps download speed, that faster and better than htcone t mobile
network.
Call quality very clear and loud and very good, even if you are in a heavy construction noise, call quality in the earpiece is also clear as well.

Wrap-up
So with that being said this is one of the
best smartphones I have ever tested I have no problem recommending. the only
downfall that some people might see with the phone is fact that it has no SD
card slot I think that bothers me maybe a little bit about this device is that
it doesn't have an extension SD card slot, I think that that's something that
people do like to have.there's no big flaws about this phone I think most
consumers they would be very happy with it.
It takes me time and effort to write this full
honest review on htc one att, if you like it please tweet it or share it and
