[Q] Build Quality Issues on HTC One Silver

[Benygh]

Hi,
its been a while since im going back and forth between HTC One Black and Silver.
just today, i watched a video which pointed out few flaws with Silver's build quality.

- gaps on top speaker of this model.
- sharp edge when you run your finger down from top speaker metal side toward the screen.
- feeling slight difference of depth in metal and screen when you run your finger down from speakers to screen.

it seems that these flaws have not been seen on Black version of HTC One.

here is the link to the video:

I've asked the owner of the video for confirmation on if all of Silver models are like this. but there is no answer yet.

so, i went to the store and checked the Silver model, and YES all those issues were there on the Silver Model.

so i want you guys to confirm what video says about that all silver models have these issues and black ones don't !

Thank you.

I did notice the Black version has very little, if zero build quality issues. The display still had some stuck pixels in my experience though. Take that with a grain of salt though, I've had THE worst luck.

Two Black HTC Ones. Waiting on 3rd. Had stuck pixels But otherwise..nope.

about these dead pixels, it looks serious considering you've had three BLACK Ones and they all have the same problem !

as stuck pixels are usually caused by production process, is there any chance that i get a phone with no dead pixels and get them later ?!

there is a possible solution to this:

The pixels aren't dead they are just stuck..I got one on mine and I used the app on the play store and let the app run overnight wake up and it's all gone

have you used it ?

thank you

I've had my Silver One from the first batch and it has no gaps or other build quality issues, I keep seeing this same type of thread pop up, but I get the impression that at least a majority of users aren't finding problems.

I think it's a screen thing not a color of phone thing. I tried it once. Didn't work. Didn't try on this one.

i know its not a color thing, but i've heard and seen lots of places that the black ones have much better build quality and i think this problem with the screen would be rare to see in black ones.
does any one owns a black one ?

I have the silver one and am going to return it (and maybe get the S4). The gap isn't the issue though, the glass is "popping" out of the bottom and right side of the phone. You can push it back and it makes a clicking noise and when i am on the device, you can see the actual glass come down and press against the LCD panel. I want to stick with HTC but i have had many build quality issues with them. I guess i might see if the black is built better. It is pretty sad though as the phone design is beautiful.

I had my HTC One Black for 2 days in a case and it hasnt chipped yet and has no problems whatsoever. Battery and Screen are in perfect condition.
