What I didn't like
Assembly. The assembly is just wow.
What I liked
Very fast, pleasant to hold in your hands, does not seem large. Great display, great speakers. The latest hardware and all kinds of modules such as LTE and NFC. The camera is just as good.
What I didn't like
The call quality is very mediocre, compared with others HTC One- the same. Those. How the phone works poorly - it doesn't pick up the signal well, the connection is often interrupted during a conversation. For example, when you compare it with the Nokia E52 (Finland), you immediately understand that the NTS is a mediocre device in terms of communication quality
What I liked
The sound and image on the screen are excellent, very good quality. The screen sensor works quite quickly and clearly.
What I didn't like
FM radio reception is very bad, too high resolution For such a small screen, battery consumption, it is difficult to find the power button and volume control.
What I liked
Nimble, good camera and great sound.
What I didn't like
1. The screen completely fades in the sun - nothing is visible;
2. The volume key is located in the most “brisk” place where your fingers rest when you are talking with someone. Therefore, the sound suddenly either disappears by itself (it is put on silent) or is put on maximum volume, which is terribly annoying and inconvenient. It is impossible to set it to the desired volume once and have it not change again - tricks with sound are constantly happening.
3. Very sensitive - it constantly calls someone on its own, then launches a game, then the Internet, because before turning off, you accidentally touch the icons on the desktop with your fingers. After use, I immediately turn off the phone before putting it in my bag, otherwise it will definitely start calling someone.
4. The sound is disgusting. The phone is loud, of course, but its speakers scream hoarsely, and this is terribly annoying. When I talk to people who have low voices, all sounds merge, it is impossible to understand what they are talking about. At the same time, decreasing the sound or increasing it does not affect the intelligibility of speech in dynamics.
5. During telephone conversations suddenly he starts calling other friends of mine on his own. This has happened several times already. As I understand it, the speed dial icons are pressed with the ear. Why HTC engineers and programmers could not equip the phone with a function to disable dialing and accidental key presses during a call is a mystery.
5. The power off button is located inconveniently, at the top left, each time you have to reach out with your hand to turn it off, and at the same time you involuntarily touch the screen, and something will certainly start - see point 3.
6. Charging lasts for a day and a half. For two or three days, if you don’t play.
What I liked
1. Good screen, pleasing to the eyes; 2. Very fast, all applications and games launch quickly, do not slow down, do not glitch; 3. Fits comfortably in the hand; 4. The sound is loud - you won't miss the call.
What I didn't like
After 8 months of use, the screen began to peel off! the metal case is beautiful, but not practical (scratched)
What I liked
display, speakers, metal
What I didn't like
Constantly turns off, heats up insanely, camera distorts color
What I liked
What I didn't like
It eats up the battery a lot, but better than iphone and Samsung (with standard battery)
What I liked
What I didn't like
The phone lags and freezes constantly
What I liked
What I didn't like
sensitive screen, no memory card slot, inconvenient button placement
What I liked
works smartly good screen, a lot of built-in memory
What I didn't like
Gets hot when turned on car charging while the Yandex.Navigator program is running. At the same time, the charging stop indicator flashes. The new Sense 5.5 and 6.0 skin is terrible. The dialer now works only in the "Call Log" mode. Those. if 28 calls are made to 5 subscribers, then the “dialer” shows not 5 called (or called) subscribers, but 28 calls made. How can you use your phone without a compact view in Dialer?????
What I liked
What I didn't like
Weak battery, there is no way to connect via HTS Sync Manager, it just doesn’t see the phone, no dances with a tambourine helped, the power button is located on the same level as the body and is very inconvenient to press, the tray with the SIM card sticks out, it fell off after update 4.2.2 Russian language and there is no possibility of Russification even third party programs. A very bad 3G antenna, we checked the Internet speed of one operator, from several smartphones, it is inferior to the old Samsung S3 and Iphone5, and the speed is 1.5-2 times lower. The LTE connection speed is lower than 3G on the S2, the 4G network is almost impossible to catch anywhere, but this is more of a question for the operators.
Inconvenient book with contacts, there is no way to select a subscriber by letter, you have to scroll through the entire list, inconvenient dialing. Unlocking the screen, if with a password, is performed in two operations.
What I liked
Aluminum body, LTE, good screen and camera.
In 2012, NTS introduced to the world a new line of smartphones, the One series. The company took into account all the shortcomings that were associated with Desire and Incredible, and flaunted three new smartphones. Among them was one flagship - HTC One X, the characteristics of which were designed to compete with the Galaxy S3 from Samsung, which, in principle, it did quite well high level. The phone, like the entire line of new smartphones, was recognized as one of the most successful models 2012. In the wake of this success, the company from Taiwan tried to consolidate the success, so in subsequent years one could see the emergence of more and more interesting models from HTC.
Ergometric features of a smartphone
The review of this smartphone should begin with the fact that it sits very comfortably in the hand, and the sensations conveyed by the matte surface of the panel are very pleasant. It should be noted that the phone is monolithic, so when using it there will be no backlash that was possible on other models of this company. In general, the company made a very serious statement by releasing the X. The external characteristics of the phone speak volumes. What is it worth just using it as glass on the screen in order to avoid unwanted scratches!
If you look at the front of the phone, at the top of it you can see a speaker for talking and a camera, which can only be used in offline mode as a mirror. There are 4 buttons at the bottom of the screen: “Home”, “Back” and “Task Manager”. On the right side of the smartphone you can find a volume control, and on the top there is a power button for the smartphone, as well as holes for a SIM card and headphones. On the left side of the smartphone there is a hole for USB devices. If you turn the smartphone over, you can find an 8 MP camera. The smartphone itself can be of two colors: black or white. If you choose the white option, the camera frame will be silver, if black, it will be red.
Characteristics of the technology used in HTC One X
Characteristics this phone such that it is one of the first smartphones to use a quad-core processor with clock frequency 1.5 GHz. Another advantage of this smartphone is its screen. In addition, HTC One X boasts a gigabyte random access memory. Of course, this may not seem like enough, but this phone loads quite “heavy” games quite easily. The only downside to the device is the 1800 mAh battery, and that is because it is non-removable and cannot be replaced with a more capacious one. Problems may also arise if the battery fails and needs to be replaced.
Operating and software
As operating system HTC could have supplied Windows Phone, because we know that they have practiced using this operating system in the past. But today the HTC One X runs Android 4.0 with the possibility of later updating to version 4.2. The HTC Sense program is very good, which gives the standard Android interface its originality. As additional functions, which are new compared to previous phones, you can highlight the ability to unlock the phone only if your face matches a photo.
Camera and smartphone image quality
HTC One X, characteristics, price
When you purchase a 2012 flagship smartphone from Taiwanese high-tech phone maker NTS, you'll get a few extra extras included in the package. Firstly, this is a branded box, the design of which has been updated. It does not have pointed corners. Secondly, this is everything that can help you if you have any questions about how to use your smartphone. Thirdly, this Charger, which is better not to take out of your pocket at all and always carry with you, since the phone can discharge very quickly. Fourthly, this is a USB adapter, which is designed to connect a smartphone to a computer in order to transfer any files or to set up a pass-through connection. And finally, fifthly, these are branded headphones from NTS. There is nothing special about them, so if you are a music lover, it is better to immediately buy yourself an additional, higher-quality version of such a headset.
Regarding prices for this smartphone, then initially after the announcement it cost about $700. It gradually became cheaper, and by now this smartphone can easily be purchased for $350-400.
Review results
Summarizing all of the above, we can conclude that this phone is a very interesting option and will be quite relevant even today. The advantages of the smartphone, developed by the Taiwanese manufacturer of high-tech smartphones NTS, include its amazing ergonomics, large screen and excellent sound. Moreover, the last plus is the merit of not only the company itself, but also its partners, who with each new line of smartphones try to make the sound more and more rich and pleasant to the ear. The disadvantages of this smartphone include the battery and camera. Moreover, the battery should be mentioned for two reasons. The first is that it discharges quickly, and the second is that it cannot be changed without assistance. As for the camera, everything is ambiguous here.
Overall, the smartphone is excellent, but if you want something newer, you can take the HTC One M7. The description, characteristics and reviews of this model indicate that this is a high-end smartphone.
Over the past years, one of the major manufacturers mobile phones HTC has partially lost its leading position. Its latest models were inferior to analogues from competitors Apple and Samsung, and the level of popularity in the market became lower and lower every year. In order to regain credibility among consumers, the company begins to develop new model, which will complete the One line and will embody all the advantages of previous communicators. Thus, the HTC One M7 was created, the characteristics of which are truly impressive. All the shortcomings of previous models were taken into account by the manufacturer so that they would not be repeated in the new smartphone.
HTC One M7 review, characteristics and some features
Upon initial inspection of the new product from the famous brand, the solid metal body immediately catches your eye. Unlike previous models, the manufacturer has eliminated almost all plastic parts, leaving only a molded frame and glass on the outside. In general, it should be noted that before the development of HTC One, devices with a 100% metal body had not yet been released in principle, since this kind of base has certain features. The surface shields radio waves, so previously it was necessary to build in parts from other materials. However, the developers from HTC managed to take a different approach to solving this problem - moving all the necessary transmitters to the outside using small holes in the smartphone body. All microelements are located inside these holes and secured with a composite. It is impossible to say how practical the smartphone will be, but today the HTC One M7 801e, the characteristics of which we will continue to consider further, has no competitors with a similar body design.
Negative sides
Experts consider certain features of the metal to be one of the main shortcomings of the developers. So, for example, with a strong blow outer casing can easily change shape (since metal does not absorb shock well) and damage the internal parts of the smartphone, and also, unlike other materials, it is not particularly practical to use. The weight of this model is quite large due to the aluminum back cover. In addition, many consumers complain about the inconvenient placement of the lock key given the large dimensions of the device. In general, the HTC One M7, the characteristics of which we reviewed, also has a number of other shortcomings that users pay attention to, namely: the location of the volume control and a change in the standard set of touch keys.
HTC One screen
It should be noted separately the quality of the display of this device - the image performance is truly impressive. The HTC One M7 smartphone, whose screen characteristics can be considered one of the best compared to its competitors, also has an amazing multi-touch function, the ability to respond to 10 simultaneous touches. The internal matrix of the model provides an excellent viewing angle and excellent color reproduction. The screen shows perfectly even in bright sunlight, unlike competitive iPhone models 5 and Galaxy S4. This pleasant bonus will be appreciated by all consumers, especially those who like to use their phone while driving. The touchscreen of the screen quickly responds to all commands executed by touching a finger or stylus.
HTC One M7 specifications: the finishing touch
2013 has begun, and global smartphone manufacturers began to immediately show off their new products, which will be bought by users around the world. The Taiwanese one did not stand aside either. HTC company. In January 2013, she introduced the world to a model called 32GB. This smartphone was simply a discovery and was recognized as the best of those that were on the market from January to August 2013. We bring to your attention a review of the HTC One 32 GB, which will describe the characteristics of the smartphone, as well as its appearance and equipment.
External characteristics
The developers of the company from Taiwan have always been distinguished by successful ideas in the design of their smartphones. Sometimes it even seemed that the company was pouring greatest number money specifically to the design development department. And now the company has presented a very interesting model for users to review. The entire body of the phone is made of aluminum. And if earlier developers tried to correct the shortcomings with plastic inserts, now the gadget is a monolithic aluminum case that houses the battery, display and smartphone screen. The entire design is designed in a very interesting manner.
As for the color scheme, buyers have the opportunity to purchase three variants of the smartphone: silver, black and gold (HTC One 32GB Gold). On the back of the phone you will notice the long-loved Beats Audio inscription, as well as a four-megapixel camera. Ahead HTC phone One 32GB is no less interesting than the back. At the top and bottom of the smartphone there are speakers for conversation. At the bottom, between the “back” and “home” buttons, the company name is displayed on the screen. Located at the top As for the keys, the power button is, as usual, on the top end, and the sound settings are on the left. WITH right side There is a slot for a SIM card. There is a USB connector at the bottom.
Sound
A review of the HTC One 32GB wouldn't be complete without mentioning the sound quality from the speakers. So, he's just gorgeous. As a rule, smartphones are unable to reproduce sounds well, but what this phone can do is simply amazing. It feels like the sound is coming not from the phone, but from the computer speakers. With headphones, the music does not get worse, but rather the opposite, especially if you connect the “Beats Audio” function, which will allow you to feel every musical instrument that was used. As for the conversation, you can hear your interlocutor not only in a noise-isolated room, but even on a crowded street. Moreover, the speaker volume can be left at 70%. In this case, the interlocutor will be heard so well that you will think that he is next to you.
Smartphone screen
The HTC One 32GB has the same screen as its predecessor, the HTC One X. That is, its diagonal is 4.7 inches. The screen itself is covered with tempered glass 2, which allows you not to worry about unwanted scratches appearing on it. As for the display, the smartphone has a very high level. is as much as 1920 x 1080. That is, the pixel density is 468 ppi. On such a screen, you not only won’t notice the dots, you won’t even be able to find them under a magnifying glass. The display itself is made using technology Super LCD 3. In bright sunshine, any text remains readable, even with all kinds of variations in the angle of the smartphone.
Cameras and photos
It would seem that now a review of the HTC One 32GB would only praise this phone, but that was not the case. The camera is the weakest link of this gadget. And if you want to buy a smartphone as a camera, then this one is unlikely to suit you. The fact is that the company's developers wanted to make a revolution and move from quantity to quality, reducing the number of megapixels to 4, but at the same time improving the quality of the resulting image. It turned out, frankly speaking, not very well. Yes, the camera from a smartphone from Taiwan was better when shooting in the evening, but as soon as the sun rose, all the charm immediately disappeared. The image detail immediately began to falter, and the quality of the images noticeably deteriorated. In other words, we can conclude that the idea of working on quality is good, but has not yet been fully thought through.
Concerning front camera, then it is 2 megapixels. Of course, there are quite enough of them so that your face can be identified when you are communicating with your interlocutor on Skype.
Operating system and software
Operating system it runs on HTC smartphone One 32GB, - "Android 4.1" with the ability to upgrade to 4.2.2. In this case, the processor is Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 with a clock frequency of 1.7 GHz. As for RAM, it is 2 gigabytes, which is quite enough for fast work phone, and also for pulling heavy toys.
The features of this gadget include HTC Sense, which is typical only for smartphones from a company from Taiwan. You should also pay attention to the fact that the HTC One 32GB phone has a program that allows you to use your smartphone as a remote control for almost every electronic and household appliance at a certain distance. In addition, there are several programs that simplify working with the interface and improve the reproduced sound. Perhaps this is why the sound both in the phone speakers and in the headphones is heard at a very good level.
We should also not forget about the smartphone’s battery, the capacity of which is 2300 mAh. This volume may be enough for a fairly long period if you do not load the smartphone at full capacity. Otherwise, it's best to always keep a charger nearby.
What comes with the HTC One 32Gb phone
As is customary, the high-tech smartphone manufacturer from Taiwan uses not an ordinary cubic container as a box, but a special branded packaging with truncated corners. This gives the product a certain charm. So, when you open this box, you can find in it the phone itself, a headset from HTC, a USB device that allows you to connect the gadget to personal computer for pass-through Internet connection or file transfer, as well as documentation and a charger. It is worth noting that the battery of this smartphone is lithium, and its capacity is 2300 mAh, which is enough for the device to last 1-1.5 days under average load. Previously, phones from this company included headphones from Bits Audio. Now the company has abandoned this, citing the fact that this allows it to reduce the overall cost, and therefore the price of the smartphone.
HTC One 32GB. Price
As mentioned above, this phone has several color options. So, if black and silver smartphones cost approximately the same, then the gold version will be 30-40 dollars more expensive. The cost of this phone may vary in different stores across the country. But if you try to give a price range, then the HTC One 32GB Black can be purchased for about 450-500 US dollars, while the price for the gold version of the smartphone will start at 500 dollars.
Expert opinion and customer reviews
This smartphone model is, perhaps, the first HTC phone that collects almost only positive reviews from both sides. So what are the advantages and cons of HTC One 32GB? Customer reviews agree that its advantage is primarily in the price/quality ratio. Not everywhere for $500 you can find a smartphone with such characteristics as this creation of Taiwanese developers. Also noted operational work smartphone, good playback of video files and, of course, amazing sound, which is equally good both from the phone's speakers and headphones.
Among the disadvantages of this smartphone model, there is only one - a 4 MP camera. To be fair, HTC has never been at the forefront of making smartphones with amazing cameras. And for the idea, which is based on improving the quality of recording, the developers can only be praised.
Results
The result this review We can assume that the HTC One 32GB phone is an excellent option to buy. It combines both good technical and excellent visual characteristics at the same time. It is unlikely that there is another smartphone on the market like this one, which for the same price can offer a similar list of functions and capabilities. Of course, the camera on this smartphone leaves much to be desired, but it’s hard to call it disgusting. The quality of the images is inferior to its competitors, but still remains at a fairly high level. Therefore, think twice before making your final choice. Still, most people around the world have recognized that this particular smartphone is one of the best of its kind today. The HTC One 32GB review proved this.
