HTC One features a
4.7-inch Super LCD 3 display of 1080p resolution (that's 469ppi). It should be
able to match the image quality of the Butterfly's unit.
The new flagship is made out of aluminum and is
about 9.3 mm thick. It has stereo speakers at the front with impressive 93db
loudness and a 2300 mAh non-removable battery. Also, its Power/Lock key on top
is transparent and doubles as an IR port to control home equipment.
HTC One will be available in black, red and
silver colors and will launch in March this year. HTC has already made deals
with 185 carriers worldwide including USA's AT&T, T-Mobile and Sprint; all
major UK carriers and many more. There is still no info on its retail price,
though.
The One is powered by the latest Qualcomm
Snapdragon 600 chipset (the same ticking inside the LG Optimus G Pro) utilizing
a quad-core 1.7GHz Krait 300 processor, Adreno 320 graphics and 2GB of RAM.
The camera of the HTC One sports a 4MP sensor
and 1080p@30fps video recording (with HDR). The sensor has what HTC calls
Ultrapixels, which are much larger than the regular smartphone pixels and
promise vastly improved per-pixel quality and low-light performance. The
smartphone also offers gyroscope-based Optical image stabilization which should
come in handy for video recording.
The HTC
One will have 32GB or 64 GB of non-expandable storage and rich connectivity
settings including LTE, NFC, Wi-Fi a/b/g/n/ac, Bluetooth 4 and GPS with
GLONASS.
HTC One will launch running on Android 4.1.2 but
the 4.2.2 update is already in the works.
