phone scoop review

i like this bit

" After a solid two days with the One, exploring and testing every feature inside and out, I’m impressed. The camera is one of the best I’ve ever seen on a phone. The sound is the best I’ve heard on a phone. The screen is the best I’ve seen on a phone. The engineering is astonishing and the design, lust-worthy. With solid performance and no major faults, this is an easy phone to recommend."
[One (M7) General] Shasarak:
Review from tweakers.net (via Google Translate): link

The good news is that they're extremely enthusiastic about the battery life, rating it as comparable to that of the Galaxy Note 2(!).

The slightly less good news from my perspective is that this is the first serious-looking colorimeter analysis of the screen that I've seen, and the results are... well, not bad, but a little dissappointing. The biggest problem is that the colour temperature is pushed waaaay into the blue - 8166K. Despite this, they like the screen overall.

They're less keen on the camera.

---------- Post added at 01:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:56 PM ----------

Tweakers.net colorimeter analysis interestingly does not agree with this earlier preview in Russian (again, Google Translate link). They had a more reasonable colour temperature of 6938K.

The two reviews more less agree on the measured values for the One X+, so there's something a little odd, there. Could be that one or other device was dodgy; could also be that there was a change in screen characteristics between pre-release and retail versions. My eyes aren't exactly colorimeter-grade, but I would have thought I would have noticed blue-push as bad as the tweakers.net value when demo-ing it in-store, and I didn't... but if the retail version has different screen characteristics from the demo model....

Ugh, I think I need to give all this up and go and join the Amish. :cowboy:

HTC One vs Galaxy S4 Camera Comparison

http://www.technobuffalo.com/2013/03/14/samsung-galaxy-s-4-vs-htc-one-quick-camera-comparison/ HTC One beats Galaxy S4 in camera comparison.
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
coming from nokia users, thanks for this, its a gold find

like i said ultrapixel delivers on its claims (they never claimed higher than 4MP so the detail negative is another topic)
[One (M7) General] puremind:
What we learnt so far from those reviews

So overall this is what we know so far?

Stronger on HTC:

• Screen accuracy, brightness and pixel density

• Design

• Camera (13MP fails horribly on both the Experia Z and S4 (same sensor), S3 was actually better based on published comparisons.

• Sound (BoomSound delivery incredible Stereo Sound)

• Double Membrane Microphone​

Stronger on Samsung:

• Screen size and black levels

• Removable Battery (I will leave you that one, though nowadays removable batteries are part of the casing, not part of the phone itself
​

Equivalent:

• Form Factor

• Storage: at 64GB, additional storage is redundant for 99% of users, especially since nowadays OTG Flash drives are preferred to MicroSD because of the larger storage they enable; or dropbox

• Processor (U.S. version): same processor as HTC One on the S4, just overclocked to 1.9Ghz, something Android users can do on their own.

• Processor (international version): the Octa is overhyped, its 15 cores throttle due to thermic issues, they were downclocked to 1.2Ghz as a result, which explains why the benchmarks are not as high as anticipated

​

Battery Life?

HTC has a 13% bigger battery BUT

• Has to deal with a 12% bigger screen

• Has to deal with 12% overclocking of S600 (1.9Ghz) OR Exynos 4xA15 cores, which are power hungry, so when performance matters it will not be as energy efficient. Throttling was actually confirmed, which is why those cores will run at 1.2Ghz instead of the leaked 1.8Ghz.

• Has to deal with all of the Samsung's software (basically the eye/gesture tracking features, which keep the camera and sensor's awake and eat up battery).

• Last but not least, considering the HTC One will likely be brighter than the Galaxy S4 (it was 60% brighter than the S3), you will have battery reserves in the form of reduceable brightness, something the S4 doesn't have.
​

Let's wait for battery benchmarks but with a 5 inch screen and overbloated software that use up battery (basically the eye/gesture tracking features), I don't see the S4 coming on top in terms of battery. Samsung dimensioned the battery to cope with the extra strain it puts on it. Sure, at their lower brightness level vs. the HTC One it could come on top on poorly designed benchmarks, but at equal brightness, there is just no way based on what we know.

People should start realizing that dimming screens like Samsung does wins battery bencharks but it doesn't help the customer. As a customer I want to choose in which situations I want more battery and in which situations I want more screen brightness (outdoor screen legibility).

So we are all waiting for Anandtech's battery review of both phones: since they measure at equal brightness, it will be the true revelator!

Computerbase.de published their review! (German)

Check out the review!

They love the phone and recommend buying it (they hardly ever do that with phones) :)

They gave Display: ++

Battery: +

Productivity: ++

Entertainment: ++

Buildquality: ++

(best being ++, followed by + then o (ok), followed by - (bad), and last -- (horrible) )

You see there is no real bad point!!!

The things they liked were:

- Display (Sharpness, contrast, brightness, colors, viewing angle)

- high performance in terms of processing power etc.

- extraordinary build quality of build and choice of materials

- good camera with great functions

- above average battery life in every day use

- Sense TV adds a lot of value

- very good loud speakers

The things they didn't like:

- battery build in

- no expandable storage

- camera sees its limits when it comes to details (zooming)

- not shipped with Android 4.2, update announced without date of release

For me the negative points really don't count, we knew about them and it's not as bad as when it has something that doesn't work well or isn't any good!

[One (M7) General] hamdir:
Sense was always great, it made the HTC Hero and Desire such a success as an actual plus over AOSP

the bad reputation was built during the Sensation era and the bloated Sense 3.0, which caused way more damage to HTC than they would have ever imagined

however HTC quickly learned and roled back this mess with the One X' Sense 4.0 but it wasnt yet there, the UI achieved 60fps in the Sense 4.1 update and finally project butter triple buffered locked 60fps in Sense 4+ update

Sense 5.0 goes one step further by going minimalist with the graphics, letting go of the 3D carrousel and trying to restore some of the ASOP halo theme feel

it's therefore lighter and nearly every reviewer was blown away by how fast and smooth it is

the sad part of this story is that many people still insist to bash on Sense without giving it a chance and checking how far it came, as if they are still stuck in 2011...
[One (M7) General] KidCarter93:

I'm glad that I started my journey with HTC now then rather than starting with some of the worse versions and then having that tarnish my opinion of them.

Pocketnow already reviewed the One, but they elaborated on that review in their most recent Pocketnow Weekly podcast:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOkdObmH1PI

The first 23-24 minutes are basically the reviewer (Brandon Miniman) drooling over how great the device is - he even prefers Sense 5 to CM10. They don't really care for the camera, but beyond that, they have nothing to complain about. Of course, they also strongly dislike the camera on the One X, which I've had no problem with.

People really need to stop raving about it, since I probably won't even get to play with one for almost a month at this rate...

[One (M7) General] djbenny1:
these comparisons are so useless, the only way someone can know that they like it is by using it themselves and seeing if they like it

i just took a few photos - first one the light is on, but my room isn't THAT bright even with it on - i didn't think to take a comparison photo on my Incredible S with light on, sorry.

The other 3 the light is off, and the ONLY light in the room is my computer screen. Trust me, it is VERY dark.

FYI HTC Incredible S is a 2 year old phone with 8MP camera which at the time was one of the best around, and I have taken really great pics with it in the past - I posted some in another thread.

One w/ standard settings

One w/ Night Mode

One w/ standard settings

Incredible S w/ standard settings

SUMMARY: if you are really into your photography and plan to have your phone as your main camera (2 things which I would say are mutually exclusive), then you will probably be disappointed with the One.

If you're looking for a fantastic phone, with a decent camera to take with you the rest of the time, you can't go wrong with the One.
[One (M7) General] gavinfabl:
Ŵell my experience has been different. I spent the last 2 days taking snaps to great effect. I've been really pleased. In fact using the software on the One I have made several videos from my photos with zero effort. My snaps ranged from darkness, landscapes, moving dogs, portraits and more. Every shot was excellent first time.

Now my last phones were Note 2, iPhone 5, S3 and the original Note. Despite all of these having decent cameras, only the iPhone 5 could perform IMO better than the One and that is with panoramic photos as the resolution is higher, so when zooming in there is more detail. In some respects the S3 and Note 2 would also be better slightly in this aspect than the One.

HTC took a design decision with the One and I for one think they made a good choice. They manufactured a phone which can take decent photos in all lights and has an aperture of f/2.0. It also has image stabilisation. Now as the camera is only 4mp it means you can take 100 and 100s of photos as the space required for each is smaller than say a 13mp camera. No photo taken with the One has been bigger than 1.9mb. That means a 13mp camera will need apperox 6mb per photo. This means uploads are longer, sharing, and more. Of course the positive is more detail if needed.

At the end of the day it's all subjective. I'm happy with the One. And there will be plenty of people happy with the S4.

I am very impressed with this phone and it's my fist HTC since the Desire HD. I just cannot believe how good beats is the quality is amazing for a mobile device, the screen is beautiful and it's fast and smooth. I use the gps and quick much quicker than my S3.

Having said that it's an uphill battle as some of my friends are very negative about the phone until they hold it see the light!

Overall I am very pleased and phone looks much better than other plastic phones. Well done HTC.
