[One (M7) General] Terminator19:
Love how my post was deleted, yet you keep the other guy's post, which has no links whatsoever to back his points up and obviously comes across as more of a troll post......If my post was deleted purely due to a bad word, surely would it not be better to just edit my post??

I have taken that same post and edited with even more links to back up my points and removed the bad word etc.

So if this post still isn't allowed for whatever reason then you should delete his post as well as a majority of other posts. If this still isn't deemed appropriate then don't worry, I won't bother posting in this thread again.

Firstly, HTC are one of the best, if not the best for updates, why people think they are bad is beyond me..........

As I posted before:

HTC are good with their updates to, they are very rarely buggy and they bring huge improvements as has been shown with the one X and jellybean and the one S also received many updates that improved more than one area. How many problems do galaxy devices have with security problems and other things???

Secondly the camera is looking much better now, all the early reviews were using pre-production models with pre-release software as HTC have said and some of the sites have mentioned it in their reviews, the final units with the latest software are looking much better and this is still with problems i.e. sharpening being too aggressive, ISO bug that makes a huge difference as shown Brian also posted photos in his anandtech review showing the difference it can make (he knows the hardware/camera stuff better than anyone as has been shown through his work and reputation)

Not to mention that this is very new tech. to HTC especially with the OIS (only other phone to have this is the 920), there will be updates and the camera will improve, the 920 has had 2 big updates to improve the camera (with more on the way), the first one had drastic improvements i.e.

Software is probably the most important thing there is, it can make or break a feature.

Not only that but all the newest reviews i.e. by anandtech, android police and other sites have shown the results to be very good overall i.e.

the macro shots are looking excellent going by android police review and the photo thread here, I would say the best for a phone camera that I have seen.

+ the above review sites

Besides ignoring the picture quality in landscapes/bright scenes (which aren't "terrible"), the HTC one excels in low light/dark conditions, yes the images might look noisy in the very dark conditions but at least they are actually usable......... The one has a very quick shutter speed thus you have a better chance of getting a photo that actually has very little blur and also means you don't need as steady hands as you would with the GS 3, GS 4 etc. (this is a big problem with phones when you choose to use HDR/night mode) and since those photos are improved with software on the galaxy phones, there is nothing that can be done with the video recording in low light/dark conditions where as since the one has the proper physical/hardware implementation i.e. big pixels it excels in this area.

To see if this is all true, check the anandtech review out again.

The colours on the one look more natural/realistic, you want the vivid/saturated colours of the GS 4 etc. then put the contrast or saturation up by one level in the camera app or use auto enhance in the gallery apps, not very hard to do and only takes like a second.

the video recording overall is much better than the GS 4, wider FOV, smoother, more detailed and better colours etc. (GS 4 will/should improve though as it looks worse than the gs3) Again check the anandtech review.

The audio recording is also better, the one is quiet with normal noise levels, however, the gs 3 had a similar problem when first released thus chances are HTC will also improve it with a software fix.

Check anandtech review out as well as this thread.

The FOV is so much larger than the GS 4 too and personally to me is very important.

Not to mention you have all the cool/useful camera features i.e. built in filters (granted these can be done via 3rd party apps), slow motion recording (no app whatsoever on the market for this), zoe and all the features it comes with.

So the camera might not be as revolutionary as what HTC make it out to be, but it is a worthy opponent to the GS 4 an certainly a worthy upgrade from the previous phones.

Unless you crop images a lot, print photos out on large paper or have a very high res. monitor then the extra MP will not be beneficial, as has been posted many times before pixel size is more important than MP, there are so many articles out there by professional photographers that back this up, they call it the "megapixel myth", more megapixels does not necessarily mean more detail, a proper 3-5MP camera would destroy a 8-13MP phone camera.

What is the problem with this? We are all aware that the one has some plastic parts. The two tiny plastic bands at the bottom and top are need for the antenna to work as it should.

No fanboy, flaming, troll etc. comments, just 100% facts about the HTC one as I have backed up with reviews, posts, articles :)
