New HTC One

[Itch]

Picked the HTC One up on Friday. I have to say that so far it has lived up to my expectations and then some.

 

I had an iPhone and was tired of the Apple proprietary BS. This phone rocks. And so far the battery life hasn't been a problem.

 

Also the LTE speeds have been very nice.

I'm extremely happy I didn't buy another IOS device.

 

$199.00 w/contract

-$100.00 rebate for pre-register & mailing in my POS iPhone 3 (from ages ago)

Total cost $99.00

 

For a kick ass phone.

Here's mine

 

 

Got it and runs great and built solid

 

What network do you have? HSPA+? LTE?

Carrier?

Biggest surprise of all is that those speeds (And they have been consistently good) are from AT&T on their LTE network.

How does it compare to the upcoming phones / do you think it'll be able to compete with the upcoming GS4?

Personally I like this phone a lot better than the GS4.

 

I have a relative who for legal reasons will remain nameless that works as a manager at a major cell phone providers store.

I was able to play w/both phones side by side. There are pros & cons to both. There are tons of reviews you can go look at that compare the two.

 

The Cameras are very comparable. The screens are very comparable.

The HTC One is far better built and much more durable.

The GS4 is cheap feeling and when next to the GS3 hardly looks like a different phone at all. And if you have a GS3 you'd be wasting money to upgrade to the GS4.

 

The Processor is slightly faster in the GS4, but eats battery like nothing else. Yes the GS4 has a slightly larger battery, but the battery doesn't last as long due to the cpu eating it alive. When we compared them the HTC's battery lasted longer.

 

Both of the phones have swipe for text if you like that feature. (Some people do, some don't)

 

The speakers on the HTC are very nice and blow the GS4 away.

 

Cameras are comparable. Leaning a bit towards the GS4 unless you are in low light if you are the HTC takes a much better picture.

 

For me the overall feel of the HTC is better, and it is just a much more solid phone. Had the GS4 come out at the same time as the One instead of a week or 2 later I would still have bought the HTC One.

 

To sum it all up. Not only does it compare to the upcoming phones it easily competes with them.

Nice phone, good to see there is the option to replace the battery.

Talked to HTC about this. Since fast charge is disabled, this extends the battery life and the only way to get the battery replaced is through HTC support since this phone is impossible to take apart without damaging it.

Got 15.5 Mbps on tmobile and 1 up

The carriers haven't advertised it at all but hopefully hype builds up.

My sister picked one of these up the other day, wicked fast and has a lot of cool features.
