Also if you want to check another review
[One (M7) General] zekit:
Very disturbing how poor their marketing is. And it seems like (at least here in Bulgaria) things are getting even worse for HTC.

Here is an example and facts:

Last year Sammy had billboards covering entire buildings all over the city! This year it's exactly the same if not more.

Where ever I go I see ads for SGS4! And the strange thing is there is not even one Ad for The One!

If you already don't know the brand and the flagship (HTC and HTC One) device you will never know it exists when they start selling both devices.

The mobile operators had updated their databases and added SGS4 the moment they announced it but still no news for the One!

I know that they will start selling both devices in a few weeks time, the Bulgarian blogs and mobile news sites already announced One coming next month as well as Sammy but it just pains me how much attention Sammy gets when our HTC One is being treated as if it doesn't exist!

It happened like this with One X also. The awe and look of surprise and admiration when people saw my white One X is still unbelievable.

I don't know if I can get the One, signed contract for 2 years with The One X so i might be waiting my wife's contract to finish a few more months and give her my One X so I can get The One but so far i'm loving it and can't wait to see it at least in the store and touch it.
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
The photos samples in this review, taken by the HTC One X+ reveals exactly why i prefer the new ultrapixel

yes compared to the One, they actually have much better color balance and better dynamic range

however the muddy manipulated image quality is a far cry from the ultrapixel camera, i am sorry but those 4MPs out of the ultrapixel camera are actually better detailed than the 8MP from the One X+

the new camera produces vastly more authentic results than the three 2012 flagships (SGS3, One X and iPhone 5)

[One (M7) General] hamdir:
the N4 is neat especially when you disable throttling with custom kernels the GPU will scream at 720p so perfect for gaming

however i always had a strict rule against buying phones with glass back and for a good reason, everyone breaks them

still for it's price its a good deal, shame about the camera and sound, it sucks
[One (M7) General] hamdir:

Have to agree, that's ridiculous how different it is. Even the comparo posted with the Lumia/ip5/sgs3 is crazy. The ip5 at least can record clearly at a decent volume (unlike the lumia/sgs3) but the ip5 has nooooo low end at all. One picks it all up perfectly of course.

Megapixel Myth!

iPhone 5S to house a 12-megapixel camera?

http://www.techradar.com/news/phone-and-communications/mobile-phones/iphone-5s-to-house-a-12-megapixel-camera--1144843

Looks like Apple are going to try to feign people's ignorance in megapixels, lets hope that the release of the One will show people it's not all about the high pixel count!
[One (M7) General] gavinfabl:
The iPhone 5 takes good photos and there is no reason not to believe the 5S won't take better photos. But the One will always have small file sizes which are more easier to share and takes up less space. Different concepts for different phones.
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
takes good photos but not in 1:1 i always thought the pixels were horribly over processed and hated HTC for following the same pace with the One X, thankfully we are back to authentic camera with ultrapixel

1:1 iPhone crops indoor and low light are a joke as well noisy and smudy with barely any good detail

people like the iPhone camera because it takes a good overall image without adjustments and squeezes the contrast/colors to please the eyes but shutter speed, low light, color and pixel accuracy leaves a lot to be desired (speaking of the iPhone 5)

the Desire HD 8MP camera used to take much better pictures in my opinion than both the One X and iPhone 5, the only downside ofcourse was the slow expsoure time but it used to give you real 8MP photos unlike the 2012 beasts
[One (M7) General] The-Last-Hylian:
I'm surprised that Apple is going to show that they are taking some care with the camera, normally they don't seem to care that much.

The iPhones take admirable photos, not the best but not the worst.

Apple thinks Pixels = Perfect I think
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
the One X and iPhone 5 are incredibly alike, almost giving the same results, especially if you tweak and you use the auto enhance from the One X, from my tests on the mega One X thread i concluded they have the same sensor, however the One X had two major advantages the fast shutter and HDR

sadly no body will listen as always :rolleyes:

it's funny to compare the iPhone 5 to the One camera when it beats crushes the One X and i5

in my Opinion One > Lumia 920 > One X > iPhone 5 > SGS3

sadly you see tons of comparisons online but do you ever see the One vs One X? as if the One X camera never existed
[One (M7) General] The-Last-Hylian:
I'm guessing that's if you take the photos off the phones and view them on a PC?

I took a few photos off my dads iPhone 5 with my HOX, didn't notice any difference really apart from the phone's screens.

Interesting to know that they use the same sensor.

---EDIT---

C'mon Nokia, be reasonable!

[One (M7) General] hamdir:
except that the Lumia 920 is super big and heavy, big camera sensor at the cost of ergonomics

as for the 808 its almost entirely a camera sensor...
[One (M7) General] The-Last-Hylian:
I'm not saying it's unreasonable 'per se', it just seems pointless imho to have a phone with a 41MP camera.

With a phone like the One out and about it's showing people that megapixels aren't 'everything'.

My statement of Nokia be reasonable was just hyperbole.
[One (M7) General] ArmedandDangerous:
What Nokia is doing is pixel binning. The images aren't 41MP, they use the excess pixels to gather light and do downsample images, which in turn produces very good images.
[One (M7) General] beno619:
I dont think the pureview proved anything that we didnt know, when they can produce results similar to the 808 pureview.

In a phone that isnt the size of a brick then il really be blown away.

The think people keep missing about the One vs Lumia 920 is that the One is => Lumia while being slimmer and lighter.

There is a cost to the 920 awesome OIS but its nice to have options I guess :)
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
yes i think their work on optics is more impressive than the sensor size balance

besides they keep doing one thing very wrong for a smartphone and that is slow shutter time
[One (M7) General] beno619:
Is there even anything special about the sensor in the 920 ?

I assumed all the bulk was from the OIS system.
[One (M7) General] The-Last-Hylian:
So really it shouldn't be called a 41MP camera in my eyes...

(I've seen some 808 shots and they looked very nice)

---

Another good example is the SGS4, things being named for what they aren't.

Please note I am not bashing the phone in any way.

The Octa core in the SGS4, I think it should be called a Quad-Duo or something like that, it's a complete misnamer.
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
but the 808 gives you the option to choose between full MP or the default super sampling mode
[One (M7) General] The-Last-Hylian:
That's pretty cool.
[One (M7) General] beno619:
Yeh and the results are tangible and impressive on the Lumia its just not a smart phone its a smart camera.

Benchmarks of Octa been that impressive tbh and nobody has backed up the battery claims.

I think there is a reason samsung are being quite like Hamdir would say its a "Dark Soc".
[One (M7) General] mattman83:
The reason Samsung are quiet is because leading markets (4g markets) are all getting the snapdragon model anyway. You don't want to go hardcore advertising something that most users won't get.

[One (M7) General] cronus101:
Don't know if this has been posted before, but this is a good read about the one's camera.
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
yes its a good read, the One is along those top camera phones clearly beating the 920

but it would have received a higher score if they lowered the sharpness in their 1:1 comparisons

photography enthusiats know that those big sensor phones beat all others, unlike ignorants like GSM/Phone Arena

a camera is a situation tool, so what use a camera which produces superlative colors but fail in low light and moving objects? and what good are 8MP or 13MP cameras when it's 1:1 quality is noisy smudgy hell?

In Anandtech review I have seen that charging is very slow (3.7h for full charge). That is very slow, would be possible to speed this up with a software tweak?
[One (M7) General] shox22:
Could be possible as the s600 normally supports the qualcomm qucikcharge feature. But I´m not sure if all the hardware needed is included in the one.
[One (M7) General] anit77:
If I remember correctly Brian said it charged pretty quickly to 90% and was very slow from there.

Speeding it up will add heat and shorten the life of the battery. Frequent charging from 10-20% to 90% is actually very good for the battery and extends the life. That and over night will have no problem getting to 100%.
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
perphaps the slow 90 to 100 is actually intentional for overnight charging?
[One (M7) General] patato2:
hmm, the output of stock charger is 1mA, for a 2300mAh battery and 70% efficiency...so it should take about 3.3hr.

USB charger spec allow charging current up to 1.5A, so I wonder why adopting a 1mA charger here. A 1.5A charger would speed it up significantly. Heat problem maybe.
[One (M7) General] skr_xd:
Actually, it charges fast till 90%.

Slows down from 90-99%

99-100% takes so long.
[One (M7) General] anit77:
Probably, gives it time to cool. Heat reduces life at any time but is the worst at 95-100%.

Got to remember Lithium batteries can go boom if they get to hot. 1mA is most likely for safety. I know it's all software based in the phone, the script in the Vivid cuts the voltage to 250mA at 80-90% and continues to drop from there. See below. It must be more aggressive in the One
[One (M7) General] patato2:
it's possible, but I feel there's other reason... Safe than sorry perhaps.

OMG, I just found I said "1mA". Should be 1A! this is so embarrassing. :silly:

I have to disagree , iPhone 5 takes much better photos IMHO then the one x(if you were talking about the one , the the one totally crush the i5) the shutter speed it's very good (not as fast as the one x but very close), but low light is much more better on the ip5, colour on the one x are over saturated and the details are less.

Ps. iOS has too an auto enhancer mod in the option although I don't like it as it just make the imager brighter and increase the saturation and the contrast, same thing on the hox auto enhancer , it just increase the contrast.
