HTC BlinkFeed: A personal live stream right on the home screen At the centre of the new HTC One experience is HTC BlinkFeed. HTC BlinkFeed is a bold new experience that transforms the home screen into a single live stream of personally relevant information such as social updates, entertainment and lifestyle updates, news and photos with immersive images so that people no longer need to go to separate applications to find out what's happening. HTC BlinkFeed aggregates the freshest content from the most relevant and interesting sources, giving it to people at a glance, all in one place, without the need to jump between multiple applications and web sites. HTC Zoe gives people the ability to shoot high-res photos that come to life in three-second snippets. These Zoes, photos and videos are then displayed in a unique way that brings the gallery to life and transforms the traditional photo gallery of still images into a motion gallery of memories. It also automatically creates integrated highlight films from each event comprised of Zoes, photos and videos set to music with professionally designed cuts, transitions and effects. These highlight videos can be remixed or set to different themes, and can be easily shared on social networks, email and other services.

pasumark 51 Report post Posted February 19, 2013 (edited) It really seems to have winning features. An attractive pricing will make it a super doper hit. But I do not expect that. The expected price is 500-550 British pounds, so Rs.42,000 and above for this beauty Edited February 19, 2013 by pasumark Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

amit.shippie 135 Report post Posted February 20, 2013 HTC One gets priced in the UK, costs £510 SIM free.Clove UK announced that it's going to sell the HTC One for £510 unlocked in both Silver and Black (no mention of the red version yet). That is actually a surprisingly good starting point for HTC's Android flagship. It's also cheaper than the iPhone 5, which currently sales for £529 for the 16GB version and £599 if you want to get as much storage as the base HTC One.

rajanmehta 4,056 Report post Posted February 20, 2013 HTC Press Release for Asia-Pacific mentions Reliance Communications as Carrier Partner from India. I guess that may be for GSM Version with some free 3G DATA thrown in as usual. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
amit.shah 51 Report post Posted February 20, 2013 Hetalbhai, the blink feed is optional. You can right swipe and go to regular Android Home Screen. Plus the best part is its not sticky. Whenever you return from lock screen to directly go to your normal home screen and not blink feed screen if you have chosen that way Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rajanmehta 4,056 Report post Posted March 29, 2013 HTC One Battery Life Test is Complete, Breakdown is Inside Source Now that we finished with our HTC One review, we took our time to give you the detailed breakdown of the smartphone’s battery stress tests. The HTC One is powered by a 2300 mAh Li-Po battery unit that handles the latest quad-core Snapdragon 600 chipset. So, how did the HTC One do? Here we go. Our first battery test is all about 3G calls. The HTC One battery went out after 13 hours and 38 minutes, quite an impressive result and very close to the Galaxy S4′s talk time despite the 300 mAh battery advantage of the Samsung flagship. HTC One did an amazing job with the web browsing test. It outlasted every other smartphone we’ve tested so far and took the first place in the chart coming just a couple of minutes short of the 10 hours milestone. Nicely done, HTC. Finally we’ve put the One into an endless video playback loop to see how long it’ll take for it to lose 90% of its battery charge. We were in for yet another impressive result with the HTC One matching the Samsung Galaxy S4 and the Apple iPhone 5. The battery drained after 10 hours and 2 minutes, which is quite an impressive result sufficing for sixth place in our all-time chart. With the kind of performance we witnessed in the indivudual tests, we were preparing to see the HTC One post a record overall score. Alas, the smartphone was led down by its standby efficiency and only manged 48h. That’s as much as the Sony Xperia Z, but seriously short of the Samsung Galaxy S4 achievement. This means you’ll only need to charge the HTC One every 48 hours if you use it for an hour of talk-time, an hour of web browsing and an hour of video-watching per day.

dev997 62 Report post Posted March 29, 2013 I checked out this video of Iphone 5 vs HTC One drop test which makes sense as both have aluminium bodies . Athough HTC One fares comparatively better than Iphone 5 , one thing that worries me is the speaker grills , specially at the bottom which just snapped out and broke on the first 3 ft drop. I feel that is the most loosely fit part of the phone and something about which one should be careful about. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rajanmehta 4,056 Report post Posted March 30, 2013 HTC One earns 1 out of 10 Repairability Score, a first ever and lowest for a cellphone from iFixit. There is every possibility of damaging the display while opening the phone.
