The back is slightly curved, making the unit very nice in the hand. The edge of the glass front is slightly cut and blends seamlessly into the housing of the device. The edges are not sharp to feel like somewhat is the iPhone 5 case.
The touch sensitive home button is not in the middle, but right down the phone. As for us illogical, but not insurmountable.
We are very pleased that HTC with the design differs slightly from the established order and it also knows to do. in a thin casing The phone is the thinnest point five millimeters and 9 millimeters at its thickest. However, the phone with 143 grams slightly heavier than the iPhone 5 (112 grams) and the Galaxy S III (133 grams).
The 4.7 inch screen is just like the case of excellent quality. The best screen on the market right now. Thanks to the high Full HD resolution of 1920×1080 pixels his photographs, text and crisp videos. Moreover, the colors look very natural and well saturated look. The clarity is also excellent, as are the white and black levels. There is no blue or grayish glow.
The biggest difference with the competition lies in the angles and reflection. The One shows little blurring when the screen is viewed from the side and even in direct sunlight fell reflection even when compared to devices like the Xperia S and Galaxy S III.
in performance knows the HTC One to all the competitors. behind The necessary benchmark tests show that the device on paper is the fastest by far. In practice this proved the case.

Vellamo test in different ways the browser with HTML5 speed test. Antutu does wide measurements of 3D graphics to the speed of the processor and Geekbench 2 focuses on the processor and RAM.
During our entire test period the phone was not fixed once when starting or switching between apps, scrolling through menus or turning the screen. The device has the speed probably mainly due to the Qualcomm Snapdragon processor 600. The One is the first device with this chip, which will replace the commonly used S4 Pro. The 600 is by Qualcomm itself 40 percent faster.
Also, the software is important. at the speed of a telephone The One runs on Android 4.1.2 and not yet at 4.2. The differences are small and 4.1.2 has proven to be. Stable and fast variant Like all manufacturers HTC processed its own layer software on Android it.

Lock can be also equipped with the latest calls, emails, text messages and afgenda agreements.
Unfortunately, not all changes in the software positive. As the new home screen Blink Feed fell against us. It is a visual representation of what happened, for example, Twitter and Facebook and take the whole home screen space. In the Netherlands are also a limited number of other streams to add. This could be news of ANP, or messages from magazines such as Quote, Cosmopolitan, Esquire and Elle.
The offer is

thisA number of settings and functions in 5 Sense adjusted so that we found them confusing and sometimes illogical. The app-list scrolls vertically instead of the horizontal mode of the rest of the software. In addition, the e-mail widget removed. The option to save the battery is convenient, but rigorous. The user can specify that all connections are disabled when the phone is in standby mode. However, it is not possible, for example, e-mail or Twitter or to have it enter.
Finally noticed the useless space on various screens. The home screens have place for up to 4 x 4 apps while the icons are smaller than on other devices and there is now more space between the icons is.
