"It’s not just the impeccable design. It’s not just the sleek unibody aluminum case. It’s not just the fantastic construction. It’s not just the dramatically improved Sense software suite. It’s not just the great features baked into Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean. It’s something more than all that".
This smartphone is a masterpiece of design, comfort and performance. It's unibody aluminium casing is resistant and sleek, and a plastic border holds the ports, volume buttons, earphone jack and power button. The screen is covered with a Gorilla Glass sheet with an elegant beveled design on te sides,
The aluminum casing extends above and below the glass on the front of the phone and covers both speakers (upper and lower), sensors, and front camera. On the convex back of the phone we find the new HTC UltraPixel Camera, an LED flash, a secondary microphone for noise cancellation, and logos.
The HTC One is much thinner at its edges than it is at its center and doesn’t feel thick at all while being held.
"BoomSound" is a fantastic feature, the quality, clarity and power of these speakers have never been seen on a mobile device ever. It has an amplifier tuned by Beats Audio.
The 4,7 inch sharp and crisp display is absolutely impressive. 1920x1080 Full HD resolution and 468 dpi are big numbers,
defeating his nearest rivals, the iPhone 5 (326 dpi) and the Samsung Galaxy S4 (441 dpi). Colors are very natural and pleasant, not so saturated as on Galaxy S4 or iPhone 5
