Finally the wait is over and the Taiwan based cellphone maker HTC has unveiled its flagship smartphone, the HTC One, at a press conference in New York on Tuesday, February 19th. The executives of the multinational company showcased the brand new handset in front of the audience that some had earlier seen in leaked images that surfaced online. One by one HTC executive went through the first-rate features available of the HTC One including a 4.7-inch, 1080p display and Android OS, 4.1.2 (Jelly Bean), which is upgradable to 4.2.2 version of the operating system. The LTE enabled handset packs a 1.7GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 processor that is supported by 2GB RAM, while a 2300 mAh strong battery powers it to perform all the functions smoothly. The camera of the latest device is also better than its predecessors plus it incorporates Bluetooth and NFC functionalities as well.
HTC One will be made available in two types of storage capacities including a 32GB and a 64GB edition. Consumers can have it in black and silver colours and it will be shipped to them at the end the next month. However, the most notable feature of this new smartphone is the “BlinkFeed” that is a next gen of Sense, but it seems the cues of this new trait are taken from the live tiles of Windows Phone.
“HTC BlinkFeed: A personal live stream right on the home screen At the centre of the new HTC One experience is HTC BlinkFeed. HTC BlinkFeed is a bold new experience that transforms the home screen into a single live stream of personally relevant information such as social updates, entertainment and lifestyle updates, news and photos with immersive images so that people no longer need to go to separate applications to find out what’s happening.”
The second great thing about HTC One was its new “UltraPixels” camera that has witnessed some major improvements when it comes to image stabilization and low light performance. In addition to this, it also offers “enhanced 360′ panorama, time sequencing and object removal,” with an “ultra-wide angle front-facing camera.”
“To enable this innovative camera experience, HTC developed a custom camera that includes a best-in-class f/2.0 aperture lens and a breakthrough sensor with UltraPixels that gather 300 percent more light than traditional smartphone camera sensors. This new approach also delivers astounding low-light performance and a variety of other improvements to photos and videos. In addition, the perfect self-portrait or video is just a tap away with an ultra-wide angle front-facing camera which supports 1080p video capture. Multi-axis optical image stabilisation for both the front and rear cameras also helps ensure video footage smoother whether stationary or on the move. HTC UltraPixel camera adds many other features and effects such as enhanced 360′ panorama, time sequencing and object removal.”
HTC has announced that HTC One will be made available in more than 80 regions of the world through 185 telecom carriers. In the US, Sprint, AT&T and T-Mobile will offer HTC One to their customers and HTC has already started taking its pre-orders via its website.
