fail level >1000000x. i guess gsm arena loves fruit brand too much.

get from singapore lor...

wait this 2 beasts (Z and ONE) fight with low light performance, macro, etc and stability first heee heeee

Ehehe..what to do..HTC is only a medium player..ppl tend mistaken it with other phones...lolz

I am worried for their 4mp ultrapixel sensor lah..
htc should promote and explain more about this 4mp camera of theirs
who want to spent rm2000+ for a phone that just have 4mp of resolution?
knowing htc's PR in the past, I really worried..

dont think it's called MP ler.. should be UP... ULTRApixels

If you're in the market for a camera or searching and comparing between phones, you should put Megapixels factor as the least important. MP are overrated. No point having 13mp when the pictures are shit. Should pay more attention to sensor size and the image output. With a dedicated camera chip, I'm expecting better images than iPhone's images.

A case for example, Nikon D700, the legendary camera only haves 12.1 Megapixels for a full frame category.

The New HTC UltraPixel Camera
"One myth is so deeply ingrained, millions of people waste money on it every year. I'm referring, of course, to the Megapixel Myth. It goes like this: "The more megapixels a camera has, the better the pictures." It's a big fat lie... A camera's lens, circuitry and sensor... are far more important factors."

“We shouldn't scrap pixel count entirely when weighing smartphone cameras, but in terms of the hardware and software details that actually go into making a great photo, megapixels are highly overrated. It's high time we focus on other areas that count more, like that undersung sensor.

The new HTC One will be the first to feature the HTC UltraPixel Camera - an advanced imaging technology that offers a great leap in the quality of point-and-shoot photos and video. Smartphones have rapidly become the primary camera for millions of people and taking pictures an indispensible part of daily life. HTC is committed to offering the highest quality camera available, so even everyday pictures are gratifying and memorable.

With the new HTC UltraPixel Camera, users will be able to quickly shoot vivid, true-to-life images with a wide range of colors, even in low light conditions. We accomplish this not by increasing the number of megapixels in the camera, but by engineering a more advanced CMOS Sensor, ISP, and optical lens system that captures significantly more light than most 8 or 13 megapixel cameras.

This White Paper describes the key components of ImageSense technology, which include:

UltraPixel Sensor - Engineered with larger pixels, it enables each pixel to capture more than 300% more light than most leading 13 megapixel cameras.
HTC ImageChip - Offers continuous autofocus, color shading, and noise reduction, as well as more realistic High Dynamic Range.
F2.0 Aperture - The largest available on smartphone camera, it lets in 44% more light than the iPhone 5.
Optical Image Stabilization - Drastically reduces blur in still photos and shaky video footage.

wrong example lulz...

D700 released during D90 era, that time still 12mp era so D700 is not consider "low MP DSLR: that time
if want compare with current DSLR line then you have point. but High MP can crop kaw kaw and capture detail kaw kaw very nice.

if you compare with current D800 with D700, ya D700 indeed is very low MP but it has higher FPS to win with, summore price also cheaper too compare with D800 , but still expensive la.

if not mistaken D800 with higher MP win in many aspect except FPS lose, because nikon duwan beat D700 own market with D800...instead of that they offer D4

OH WAI- you should use D4 as example

yes, for mobile phone 8-12 mp is enough already, but solely upload to facebook, i think 6mp or lower also can do, depend image file output as you said....

now i also eager to see ONE can good as Lumia 920 / Xperia Z or not for low light, and colour reproduction bla bla those la... and sensor size compare with legendary pureview 808

errrrr.....this unit look nice to me...spec nice also...but should i gv a chances for htc again after the bad experience on previous few model....

why don have camera shutter button

nice

hold to buy xperia z coz of this!

This phone doesn't have waterproof

2300 mah... hope to get 3000 mah with thicker body

Having higher resolution lens does have its advantages. Notice that unlike D700, phones don't have zoom lens, unless someone manages to built a super powerful zoom lens, that can zoom far with just few millimeters extrusion, or unless you want your phone to look like Samsung Galaxy Camera.

Not having zoom lens means your phone can only rely on digital zoom, which works by actually enlarging your photos and crop it. This makes the photo blurry whenever you zoom. Until someone invents a small powerful zoom lens, the only solution now is to increase the photo resolutions.

In term of image quality, of course D700 is still a winner up to date until someone invents a small lens that is on par or surpassed the SLR lens qualities.

Hey I'm wondering, without menu button, how is it going to operate on apps like Whatsapp and Facebook? Those apps haven't adapt to new android guideline design yet, so it depends on the traditional menu button, right? Phones like Nexus 4 has the traditional menu button appears on the right side of the navigation bar whenever the apps does not have overstack flow buttons.

Quite impressive overall but LTE 1600 break the deal for me. Will probably go for Lumia 920 instead.

HTC phone price drop very fast
