i think you've missed my point completely

first we are competing with iOS and this is a super flagship for android, at least it should keep up with the 2012 iOS flagships, no one asked Android OEMs to go 1080p and "downgrade" the GPU all over again

at 1080p they should have adopted DDR3 and should provide the optimal s600 GPU perofromance, especially since as it seems competitors will do so

I'm not expecting console quality form my smartphone, all i expect is for it to keep up with mobile games since iOS is the leading platform for those games

that being said im still hopeful for better results from a "clean" bench
[One (M7) General] Turbotab:
Has this been posted already? The rumours from Korea are that the Galaxy S4 will drop the Exynos Octa, for a Snapdragon 600. Apparently the Quad A15 cores are producing too much heat and battery drain, given the power consumption of the Nexus 10 with only 2 A15 cores, this is believable.

If true, this a massive win for HTC, it would also be bad news for ARM, as having both Nvidia & Samsung suffering product delays due to their A15's heat & power characteristics.

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

Can anyone confirm HTC ONE has working wifi direct or not? I've always longed for it on my One X.

PS. The build quality is awesome but I don't like the design. This is the first ever phone of HTC that I don't like. But I'm getting it soon anyway :D

I literally just spent an hour reading this review to be sure that I could grasp most of it. It was unforgiving in pointing out some flaws and yet it outshines the competition and even was the first phone to receive an Editors Choice award, and Gold at that! The second highest it could win!

I'm incredibly excited for this device. So incredibly excited!
[One (M7) General] jmitr:
Just wow, as soon as I read this I read the review. That is the longest I have ever taken to read a review, and the most detailed review I have ever read. I've got the darn thing bookmarked cause there's a bunch more I want to go over again.

Release day in Canada can't come soon enough, unless I break and order the unlocked or dev version first!:beer:
[One (M7) General] Adolfopacheco:
I just received the original case, I had to buy it from a store in the UK and just arrived to my Country. I also saw that the Developer edition is also available on the USA so I just tried to make the pre order and it allowed me to(I have a PO Box in USA that will bring it to my country) so I guess that it is just a matter of waiting to the 18th to be shipped.

By the way, the price is really good. I had a pre order on another store for the 32gb Silver One for a price of 742 dollars, but this developer 64gb version directly from HTC had a price of 658 dollars with shipping included.

[One (M7) General] vapotrini:
It's indeed a very long review, but I feel like he neglected some important stuff. For instance, I was expecting a lot more from the battery test other than internet and stand by times (Do people, you guys, really browse that much on these relatively tiny devices??). What about video play back or gaming longevity? For as comprehensive as it was, I was surprised that he didn't include those things. However, it really is an in depth review and I can now fully appreciate why it took this long. Kudos to Brian. This seems to be an incredible phone.
[One (M7) General] vegetaleb:
Hello!

I passed by the phone shop in my city to ''preview'' the One.

I only tried it 5 mins but here are my very quick impressions:

-Ringtone volume is definitely louder than all previous HTC phones (about 2X), and I am convinced it can get louder thanks to mods like xloud and zeroinfinity ones.

-Look and design: it was a silver model,it's simply stunning from face and sides,less from the back,dunno why but it feels and look more plastic than aluminum (at the back).I will wait for the black to decide which color is more appealing.

-Screen is very nice though the phone got a hard reset (bad Lebanese habit) so I couldn't try wallpapers in the gallery.

-Camera is incredibly fast,yes faster than OneX which was already very fast,the photo taken indoor was awesome on the 4.7'' screen.

Voila!

Apart that the phone is 1400$, I will wait also for the black version and decide
[One (M7) General] TRiBaL1981:
black is a fingerprint magnet mate, even with the cleanest hands. if you don't mind that then go for it
[One (M7) General] Tuborg68:
I live in the Nordics and have experienced that some phones handles cold better than others. Can affect battery and screen performance. This is important for example when out exercising with the phone in an arm strap (then its exposed to outer temperature). It's also nice if the screen works with gloves on. I haven't seen any reviews covering this regarding the HTC One (or other phones). How do you think the One handles some manly temperatures?

[One (M7) General] ste1164:
Don't think it will work with gloves on unless they are capitative gloves. As for temperature extremes I think it should be okay but I am not 100% sure.
[One (M7) General] shiningarmor:
theres a possibility htc will use 2 types of image sensor

1 is the STMicroelectronics sensor (better off known as the better sensor) and the other will be omnivision's sensor (crappy)

source : http://www.anandtech.com/show/6747/htc-one-review/5

Even more interestingly, OmniVision announced a 4.0 MP CMOS sensor which matches the VD6869 specs identically, the OV4688, which has the same size (1/3”), resolution (2688 x 1520), pixel size (2.0 micron), and a line about sensitivity being 40 percent higher on the 2.0 micron pixels compared to OV’s 1.75 micron pixels. There’s still no real information about sensitivity or saturation, but I suspect that OV4688 might become an alternate supply source if ST can’t produce VD6869 in quantity.
[One (M7) General] mikbe:
Source for crappy?
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
Why would you assume it's worse if the specs are identical according to Brian?
[One (M7) General] gavinfabl:
Brian's review capsulates exactly how I feel about my HTC One.

Awesome phone.
[One (M7) General] shiningarmor:
why do you think all, if not most high end flagships today dont use omnivision's sensor?

similar to tegra, i saw some analytics by google, nobody is buying t4 (yet). and every manufacturer is lining up for qualcomm's s600

- Reboot the phone twice

- With a File Explorer (FX File Explorer works well)

- Go to system /proc/last_kmsg

- Search the last_kmsg for a string 'acpu' You're looking for the following

[ 0.359957] c0 1 acpuclk-8064 acpuclk-8064: SPEED BIN: 1

I'm so glad Brian addressed the speaker covers in his Anandtech review, this is what you should call a credible review! And hopefully will help people understand where the unibody element begins and ends, he is clearly assuming the internals fit into the unibody from the front unlike the stupid iFixir mess up
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
This really rocks check how he adresses the iPhone 5 design comparisons

And the screen brightness / battery reality! Is this guy one of us? :)
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
This one also interesting

You see the approach of trying to understand why an OEM is making a decision or a compromise, unlike us where we go "HTC or Samsung SUX"
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
Tegra 3 is not as bad as people like to believer, what was its biggest shortcoming? Games it delivers and heat? Well the s4pro a year later despite being 28nm gets as hot

Also Omnivisin is doing great on the front camera of the One and 8x

And this for those claiming its simply a normal ST sensor

About OIS:

And one of the rare reviewers to talk about sharpness -2
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
Hardware revisions! Guess this means the OIS side blur bug...
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
Yup everyone been comparing the HTC cameras ignorant to the fact that they run at a much faster shutter time than their peers this is alone to offset the entire discussion

What this really mean the Htc one auto mode at night will try to balance between fast shutter and ISO to get good light at moderate noise, meanwhile using night mode will increase exposure time and go for cleaner ISO but you have to hold still better in this mode, finally manually setting ISO will go for the fastest shutter at the targeted ISO, so in other words auto and night mode are actually the best modes for the low light since they increase exposure times for the sake of quality, night mode being the slowest but best in terms of quality

Trying to explain all this to mindless hordes however, is another story entirely...
[One (M7) General] Turbotab:
One part of the Anandtech review, that could be better is listing the OS / browser versions on the benchmark graphs. The results are also not updated to reflect newer updates / drivers, Nexus 7 / 10 now score 1325ms / 650ms with the latest Chrome Android. I understand that would require maintaining a large hardware pool, and cause an increase in workload, but it would be fantastic.

For example which version of Chrome did they use, 18 / 25 or 26 beta, on these browser benchmarks it makes a big difference. My Nexus 7 (1.7 GHz) goes from 1942 with AOSP browser to 2241 with Chrome Beta 26, Tegra 3 is not to shabby when oc'ed:D Also it highlights a continuing Qualcomm weakness on Android, they don't seem to optimise for javascript code as well as their rival SoCs.

There was no mention of newer OpenGL drivers, which require Android 4.2, it may not have been mentioned due to NDA, but I don't think HTC should get a free pass for launching 4.1, when they may well have left performance on the table, and their big rival managed to push out 4.2.2 in a similar time frame. Of course I'm nitpicking, it was an excellent review, the dude obviously pours his heart & soul into his reviews, Anandtech is one of the few sites for which I disable adblocker, and Brian Klug is the current MVP.

Believe it or not as far as I'm concerned this the best news so far in the review but I'm a GPU freak :laugh:

[One (M7) General] hamdir:
Yea I feel the same but you know Brian's review made think a little, despite the overwhelming credibility he is also an HTC fan, so reviewers will always have a certain degree of bias toward their tastes (like Brian's love for metal phones)

What I'm tying to say, I agree fully sam's fanboys are much worse than HTC's probably due to their numbers but with reviews we need to take and give some, besides we rocked 90% of the reviews so its ok to loose some ;)

Yeah he certainly does appreciate a nice design and metal body! :D

But apart from that I think he is one of the best for reviews, isn't as bias as a lot of other reviewers/sites, he might come across as a HTC fan but it doesn't stop him from looking at things subjectively i.e. if they messed up something he would say so unlike gsmarena, in their eyes, Samsung can do no wrong.

Well put and that is absolutely spot on!

Calm down cos their are people who won't be getting it at all. I personally don't think a yearly upgrade is very noticeable, I will be waiting till next year. Cait wait to see what the 64 bit arm chips will be like with 60 fps 1080p, beefier you and a even better camera. If Nokia get the 808 pureview tech on a lumia with lots of other nice features I might just jump ship. What improvements in the camera department do you think we will see next year for the One successor? I know 60fps 1080p will be a standard next year for all Oems.
[One (M7) General] Shan89:
I know we shouldn't be comparing cuz of the trolls etc but i had to bring this up since this are PURE FACTS regarding the speed.

What i find funny regarding S4 / HTC one or to be more precise the software TW vs Sense.

The funny fact:

S4 is @ higher clocks ( 1900 and GPU 487 while Htc One is @ 1700 Cpu and 400 Gpu )

Now looking at the benchmarks S4 is barely winning over One thx to higher clocks but still not winning on every single becnh , but still software remains SLOWER , i know we're here @ XDA and mainly all that matters to us is the SPEED , but lets not forget One is capable of running @ the same clocks as S4 and with root One might be able to surpass s4 @ benches , lets also not forget One is on 4.1.2 , while 4.2.2 boosts performance with new drivers so HTC One is expected to surpass s4 thx to

BETTER SOFTWARE OPTIMISATION.

Now the funny fact regarding TW vs Sense

We all know how bloated and laggy Sense was back in ICS days and i hated those days on my HoX , but after JB that has changed , take for example S3 and HoX , s3 was no doubt better device back in ICS days , but now on JB it's different story , s3 is left in dust vs HoX.

that's mainly because SAMSUNG never implemented tripple buffer A.K.A Butter effect on s3.

Take for example this simple tasks:

S3 takes up to 5 sec to open call

Sms messages is UBER laggy when scrolling

Overall system is slow compared to HoX Jb.

Gallery is laggy

Camera is crap ( tho @ night with flash is very good but without flash stands no chance ) but at the daylight it's crap vs HoX especially HDR photos.

And to prove my point regarding all this not to look like a troll cuz i'm not trying to be one just pointing SIMPLE FACTS take a look @ >> THIS << , that is the full comparison S3 vs HoX JB Stock roms , custom roms , Aosp roms.

Now if i remember right S4 uses literally the same TW as s3 and still wont have triple buffering ( butter effect = 60 fps locked ) While HTC One has new sense 5 which is much slimmer and lighter compared to sense 4+ also faster.

So in terms of system speed / fluidity i think HTC One will win this one hands down. While s4 will of course win @ gimmicky department.

i have one for you...N4 at 1.836GHz and GPU at 487 you will see which will beat what;) now knowing that when you root the S4 and probably run a custom kernel which might overclock it will be faster but at the moment with what i am running compare to those specs does not mean jack and still would not make me want to jump to the plastic goodness of S4(that was sarcastic by the way)

Love my N4 now and the fastest kernel i ever used is faux...that guy is pure genius and awesome dev....liquidsmooth + faux kernel as well perfect combo..:)

anyway here in London the more i travel in the Underground the more people i see now with the One....Everytime i sit next to someone or even just from a distance i can see a few with the One....and everytime i just stare at the screen and i am loving it....and guess what..the people that i saw using it do not have a case on it..shows you how robust the phone is;)
