THe HTC One is much brighter than any Galaxy device. This means you have untapped battery potential in the form of reduceable brightness!

Reduce brightness to S3 levels (240cd/m²) and you increase battery by 60%!

Reduce brightness to S2 levels (145cd/m²) and you increase battery by 245%!

That's why I laugh when I read that Galaxy OLED devices are presumably energy efficient. They suck atrociously at energy efficience. Plus their maximum brightness decreases over time (but that's another topic).

Honnestly, you should not have to worry about battery on the HTC One. The S600 is particularly energy efficient, not a power hog like the Exynos Octa 5 is, and has untapped battery potential which most reviews do not reveal to you (as they test at maximum brightness (e.g. the Verge, Techradar) or a percentage thereoff (e.g. GSMArena).

Worry not my friend, and revell in the One's awesomeness.

Battery: you can use an external battery to double your battery life, but I really only use them when I forgot to charge my phone and I am in a hurry. :)

It is more convenient than opening your device to change the battery.

Judging by the first head-to-head comparisons, the One's UP Camera trounces the S4's, like it did the XZ's...13MP is just beyond the sweet spot for small sensors.

how power-efficient is the "auto brightness" in the one??

i always found auto TOO bright most of the time, which is why i really liked the way i could adjust the levels in CM ROMs.
[One (M7) General] Turbotab:
Hamdir have a nice rest, I might do the same:) Don't worry Google see it as well, hence Motorola / Nexus!

Samsung have bigger worries than plastic, Touch Wiz has got worse, the lag is terrible, all these 'features' they've included seem to really slow down their ROMs

All these people jumping on benchmarks like Antutu, because it scores a little higher than One, forget just how terrible 99.9% of these benchmarks are, they produce different results each time, I will post about this in a couple of weeks. In the meantime, we should tell everyone we know, how good the HTC One is, then it is up to HTC to wow them, this is how Apple built their brand.

Re: HTC Flagship 2013 - HTC One - Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 600 - Mega Information Thread

Ya know, very well put but what people don't see about the way HTC builds their phones beyond just looking and feeling premium is their durability. I have the i4g and I beat the snot out of it and its still kickin 20 months later. Only one damage mark on the top right corner from a really hard fall on concrete. Also has anyone noticed they keep the weight right around the same mark?(I may be mistaken) IMO they do this to help the feel. My wife has the gs2 and I hate how light it is. Feels cheap and easily forgotten in the pocket. Not my I4g, though. I always know when it's there.

Also IMO the One should get Google's backing in how a phone should be built and help HTC market it if they want a chance at knocking the slats out from under Sammy

Just my 2 cents.

[One (M7) General] Shan89:
For power users sucha are myself and Hamdir that is one of the most important things in the smartphone aside from good camera , build / quality , other things we do not care so much :P Which is why i'm keeping my hox as my backup gaming device mainly for tegra 3 games and i'm quiet sure Hamdir will do the same :P

Actually it can but it can't last long in that state , it'll crash and possibly brick :P

Chill mate, you shouldn't even replay to those comments , now i'm gonna be a little bit *rude* or perhaps insult some ppl but not directly :P

Anyway it's not your fault because those ppl are affected by marketing ,

you mainly have provided them every single proof/info about s600 & HTC One which proves them it wont be a bad chip or slow or even behind Octa chip in fact theres a high chance it will be in front of it thx to bad therminal of OCTA and Throttling.

Anyway my suggestion to you is screw what those ppl say, you made the thread for them , you've put right in front of their eyes all the info but they're either lazy to

READ

or

too stupid to understand !

And no DON"T Quit , there are

MANY of us who appreciate whatever you find about HTC One and other devices and we're very much grateful for all you do for this thread/community without even having to do any of these things.
[One (M7) General] puremind:
I do not know that, however when two devices have similarly efficient auto-brightness, the one with the highest maximal brightness is at a disadvantage. What we need is the ability to impose a cap on maximum brightness.

Can someone confirm this, but I think the newest Android versions allow you to set the maximum brightness used by the auto-brightness. That's just what we need to have a smooth experience and still maintain great battery.

By the way has anyone else noticed how it appears HTC have purposely calibrated the stock video player to be dimmer than the overall UI experience? I bet this has a lot to do with those video battery tests where testers measure at maximum brightness or a percentage thereof (e.g. GSMArena).

I read somewhere that HTC does not allow any RGB and color space controls the way Samsung does. Do you guys know if the One X had that kind of support enabled in custom ROM's and whether we can expect this for the One? I for one, would hate to have suboptimal video experience just because HTC decided they need to tick the battery box for reviewers.

Hamdir don't quit, I read your posts and have been doing the same you have been doing on every forum and youtube video to straighten the facts!!

You are not alone in this. There are other idealists out there to counteract the truths that billions of dollars try to pour on us. Samsung did not get where it is on its own. The early adopters DO have an impact on purchasing behaviours and especially nowadays with social media, everything you say has a much broader impact on a much larger audience!

Im also an iphone user, been using it for 3 years now and gottem very tired of it. Have always having my eyes on htc and im really excited for trying out android. The phone looks awesome but im a little skeptical when it comes to the camera.

Dont get me wrong some pictures i've seen here are absolutely stunning, but some pictures are a bit disappointing if u ask me.

Its the only thing holding me back.

Re: HTC Flagship 2013 - HTC One - Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 600 - Mega Information Thread

I agree, wordless because I'm ticked at the bias in that article. There's no proof the s4 processor is better, that's from perspective. Also the point needs to be made that the s4 has a variant of s600. Exynos isn't the only processor in this battle.

Extras? Completely based on perception. Just because they crammed more gimmicks in doesn't mean the extras are better. They also left out some stuff for the One.

Size and weight? Really? That is all based on a matter of opinion. I personally prefer a slightly heavier phone with a little bit of girth.

The sky diving theme wasn't good enough especially they are hiring someone we don't know as field expert to lead the role. Most worst, there are multiple versions of the same ads lead by different actors and languages.

Could someone kindly tell me if is possible to turn on the screen using the side volume rocker? I want this the ONE so badly but the power button on top is, personally, terrible IMO. I have on GNex (side power button) the and a Xperia S (top power button) and on this last one turn the display on is hurtful and for GNex it just works cause it where I usually rest my thumb when holding it.

The fact that the power button also holds the IR sensor doesn't mean that it need to be on top. When using the Nokia N900 the IR was on side and the remote control app was used on landscape mode.

Looks like HTC is sponsoring the MTV movie awards, can't post link but a search will suffice.

On TV it's appearing as "presented by the HTC One" with the everything your phone isn't tagline. No Release date or anything, but it's a good sign for a release and the start to a solid marketing move targeting the MTV watching teen crowd.

Dunno if anyone saw this editorial from Jaime Rivera from PocketNow. This guy is basically saying they shoulda done what Samsung did this year and more crying about the nonremoveable battery and no ad slot. This dude is an idiot and prolly paid buy Samsung for this. I will never read what this guy writes anymore. Let me know what you guys think of this bs article. Tired of reading all the HTC bashing I've seen over the last 2 years. Mods, pardon the language, but I gotta say truth. As the old saying goes, they are damned if they do, damned if they don't. I think most of these people who write this stuff and have comments like this won't be happy until HTC goes away. As long as they are around, I will only buy HTC. Bought the Inspire as my first smartphone. Upgraded to the Vivid. And now, I had to buy the hox+ since my Vivid wanted a drink of tea. The One IS my next. HTC is my company and the One is my brand.

Re: HTC Flagship 2013 - HTC One - Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 600 - Mega Information Thread

I dont what jaime did wrong there.. no sd card..no removable battery isnt good..

Imagine a non geeky guy goes to a store.. he sees the s4 and htc one.. he would say that the ht c one looks damn good.. but then like anyone else he would ask the features.. the shopkeeper would say it has an sd slot, removable battery, 13mp camand that its samsung...

He will definitly fall for the s4..

We are geeks.. we know what we want and what we prefer.. but not the public. They would prefer a slot even if they knew they wouldnt use one..

And if your counter point is apple.. then thats because its an apple.. their fans are blind and will go for anything with an apple logo on it.. samsung has been marketting their ass out in the U.S, but still people buy apple more..and they do it by trying to provide more features..not by taking them off

Htc is way behind.. so they dont have the luxury of taking away features like sd slot, battery and providing a 4 mp cam even though it takes good shots.. they should do it by going the same way the market leader does and trying to do it a bit more better..

We might use it.. not the non geeky public...The non geek people I know doesnt even know that a smartphone can use an otg storage solution ... They just use it as a phone..

And you didnt get my point.. most of the public wont even use the 32 gb or the 64 gb completely.. but when they hear that it has a slot and that they can remove batteries, it would easily be a win situation in a non geeky ear. ..

And yeah there are car chargers and different options, but unlike us ,swappable batteries would sound better to a guy who even uses car chargers..

More options even if you dont use it will definitly sound better and sell better to the public..

I would disagree with that.. normal non geeky smartphone users just put in a bunch of songs, apps, files apps..and play with it...

And an sd card slot will sound better to them.. amd those solutions wont seem as solutions to the non geeky public..

I m not gonna say to my non geeky old dad or other people to carry an otg cable and pendrive in his pocket..lol

But I bet he wont buy it anyways.. he knows what an sd slot is..and when he hears s4 has it, it would definitely work in his favor even if he might not use all the sd card space

I am anyway gonna buy the htc one.. and it sucks that I have to put my 64gb ultra sd card back in my drawer.. I knew I would never use all that space.. but I almost filled it up..because I had the luxury to.. I didnt have to delete all those unwanted files ..cos I wasnt scared that it would ever fill up.. and I hate wires..

I'm a geek, I don't need any of those things.. this has nothing to do with being "geeky" that's just a red herring, you are a small minority, and this comes down to just being stubborn, so you convince yourself you need it and then try to convince others that you need it, the fact is, you don't. because there are solutions to your problems if they are in fact real problems for you, which I highly doubt. No SD slot and no removable battery is nothing but a rally cry for fanboys who need to find flaws with a rival device. That's it, cut and dry. As for you buying the HTC One, I'll believe it, if I ever see it.
[One (M7) General] mang0:
I think this is assuming that people even know about sd card slots (or what they do) in the first place. My boyfriend and I own a computer repair business, and 80% of the people who walk in think upgrading their RAM will increase the amount of space they have to store their files, music, pictures, etc.

IMO, the "average" smartphone user wouldn't really bother or care to put a sd card into their phone; the only reason they do is because a retailer "sells" it to them. My dad, for instance, is the type of person who will be like, "Oh, my phone has an sd card slot? Well let's buy one just to put it in because it has that capability, even though I'll never use it."
