HTC One M7 (2013) review
It might have been superced by the m8, but the HTC One M7 is still a beautiful handset with an amazing screen and innovative camera
HTC has pulled off a blinder with the HTC One. It’s a gorgeous phone with a beautiful screen, and we think it’s a more desirable handset than the Sony Xperia Z. The low-light capablities of its camera are a big plus against rival devices while its sleek metal chassis is only surpassed by the newer and more expensive HTC One (m8). All said, the HTC One is now quite an old phone, despite only being released in March 2013.
Newer Android phones such as the Samsung Galaxy S5 and LG G3 have newer and faster components, but if you don’t feel the urge to always upgrade to the latest phone then the HTC One is still an excellent handset. HTC has also promised to update the phone with Android 5.0 L, which will keep it feeling new and fresh. If you want a seriously classy phone and your budget doesn’t stretch to the HTC One (m8), then the original HTC One is a great choice.
