Anandtech's "Mega" HTC One review>>

I've never given any smartphone an editors choice award before, though I daily regret not giving the One S an award of some kind. For the HTC One I'm giving our Editors Choice Gold award, which is our second highest award. The One is an incredibly awesome device

I'm a big fan of the HTC One and can see myself using it for quite a while, even without seeing necessarily everything of its main upcoming contenders. It's a device which amazingly is built to the kind of specifications I'd want from a device — huge emphasis on camera, all metal construction with actively tuned antennas, and a powerful SoC inside.

yes i will. I will get a review unit in the next few weeks from htc as well so i can give you some early impressions as well

Eggcake · Feb 20, 2013

Most other retailers also mention the 15th of march. It's probably just a PR thingy for Vodafone - I don't expect them to sell many devices, it's just to create some buzz. But I'm not sure whether the info is correct as they seem to be the only ones doing it, which is strange. However, it seems that the information comes from Vodafone directly.

On a different note, I have a question regarding the speakers:

Consider being on a call, talking, when suddenly you receive an SMS with maxed out volume. Wouldn't that make your head explode as one of the speakers is directly at your ear?!?!

shree.cse · Feb 20, 2013

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

Just saw your post on Hamdir's thread. I will follow his thread regularly and from now I follow this too.
I will get the device as soon as it was released, thinking of my one x, whether to keep it or sell it. If the price was <700 usd, I will keep my one x. Just now OneX development is getting better and the device is so smooth after JB, so can't sell it.

I am worried about it, too... It was like that on a mobile phone I once had. However I guess HTC will use the proximity sensor to turn down the volume to a safe level.

I just hope they thought about it (this would be the perfect solution actually - just turn off the upper speaker completely).

I don't think the message tone will be active when the call is active. I never had that on OneX or dhd.

Of course it is active on the One X. I'm not 100% sure if it is the case for SMS, as I rarely use SMS anyways, but it is certainly true for GMail.

Where's Hamdir?

Anyway I hope we will see reviews very soon,I am very curious about the stereo speakers,screen under sunlight and camera performances

I'm talking about the SMS tone. There's a notification in the status bar when we got a message while in call, no tone. At least for me.

Well, that's details - I'm talking about messaging tones in general, regardless of the source. It happens definitely with my One X for various types of notifications.

Then it would be suggestible to use a headset for calls. It's good for health too.
Just kidding.

Or simply only making calls with activated loudspeakers and holding the device 50cm in front of you. Preferrable in a train or bus.
