Arriving in late April in the United States, the HTC One smartphone has been one of the bestsellers of the year. Designed in a premium metal unibody form factor and delivering industry-leading pixel density, the phone also offers extreme multimedia capabilities with the Beats Audio sound enhancement package and powerful quad core central processor. An HTC executive recently disclosed that the handset has shipped more than 5 million units globally, and it can be purchased for around $49 on contract online.

The powerful and multitalented phone recently arrived in the United Kingdom in a bright red, adding the flashy color choice to the current silver and black options. At this time the HTC One in a brilliant red body is only available in the UK, but if sales are strong enough in the unique color, red may accompany other color choices in the North American smartphone market as a choice for the HTC One. The phone is identical internally otherwise to the US model running on the Verizon Wireless 4G LTE system.
Sales have been strong on the HTC One, but with the Galaxy Note 3 and iPhone 5S due to arrive in the next couple of months, HTC is looking to bolster their market share on their flagship phone. The phone delivers the Jelly Bean Android operating system, and has been praised by UL Environment as an environmentally friendly smartphone throughout its life cycle. The phone’s BlinkFeed feature provides one central location for all social networks and news feeds, and the handset boasts a full HD 1,080P display.
HTC introduces a new camera technology on the HTC One, the UltraPixel. This combines an advanced image sensor and ISP, as well as CMOS sensor and floating lens to deliver up to 300% better light recognition than the typical smartphone camera with 8 or even 13 megapixels. A wide-angle f/2.0 lens is found on the rear facing 2 UltraPixel camera, which provides simultaneous video and snapshot capture in high definition, and is capable of recording video in 1,080P HD resolution.
As smartphones go the HTC One is slim, measuring just 0.37 inches (9.3 mm) in thickness, and the Super LCD3 display is large at 4.7 inches. Resolution runs 1,080 x 1,920 pixels, and a scratch resistant layer of Corning Gorilla Glass 2 protects the display. The HTC One can offer as much as 16.0 hours of talk time from a full charge, and runs on a powerful quad core 1.7 GHz Snapdragon 600 processor. A full 2.0 GB of RAM memory and 13 GB of built-in data storage are also present. The HTC One comes equipped with a Stereo FM radio with RDS display, and offers front facing dual speakers.
