It is aluminium body.

Source from Wired -

"We took the HTC One out to a dimly-lit restaurant and it produced far better, and cleaner, images that the Samsung Galaxy SIII we had with us. The HTC One’s photos were much clearer, and you could plainly see everyone in them. Photos snapped with the Galaxy’s 8MP camera didn’t look any sharper than the One’s 4MP images. The only advantage to the Samsung’s snapshots was you could zoom in tighter on a subject’s dark face."

icic.... havent seen the vidwo review yet
if that is the case, its quite strange button arrangement

too technical i no faham which components are better in comparison


means the One takes better pics in low light environment, but does it suffer in comparison to the s3 in well lid conditions? im guessing the 8mp will be more detailed as compared to the 4mp One (well lid)

Casing is Aluminium, not plastic. Only 2 plastic line.

MP is smartphone world is irrelevant... it is the sensor that counts and the chip / software processing
you can take sony 12mp pic and compared to S3 8MP and the 12mp will still lose in pic quality


the race is on for the best 2013 flagship phone
hope this phone have no iphong scuffgate with the aluminium body

spec sheet trumps the best 2013 phone so far Xperia Z
and if it manage to start shipping soon enough and make it available earlier than Z, it will eat into the XZ market

if u c sensor size & pixel size, htc have the advantages, in basic explanation
since bigger sensor size by 0.01" and able to capture more light by 0.25 microns
so u will notice a more detail & brighter photos

but the downsize is the sharpness, bcauz of 8mp & 4mp
8mp*1.75 microns is more thn 4mp*2 microns, thus resulting samsung s3 photo will be sharper

thn to the feature of HTC one, optical stabilization is better thn the digital
thus resulting a more stable grab whn shooting.

thn HDR video which provide a balance exposure between bright n dark area
example of HDR video does

wow thx for d explanation. so even if s3 produces sharper images, One is a better all rounder.
HDR is awesome too!

now Im not arguing about htc's ultrapixels feature..
I am arguing about layman POV about the 4MP-in-expensive-flagship-phone in the world of many people believe large megapixel is good.

"ape nih? 4MP je? baik amik Xperia Ion"
This what my friend told me after showed them One's spec
this can hurt htc's sale a bit..

htc need to clarify this thing out to the masses.. or..
in the future, if I see someone using htc One.. I automatically assume them as hipster or a nerd..

Yes..it's the same One

4mp x 3 of those lenses if im not mistake.

good la not much people buy One so we can have this baby exclusively

damn sien/boring to see pupil hold note/SIII/ipong 4/5

nope 4mp x 2 microns

one thing to remember guys, when comparing pictures by different phone, please view it on 3rd device, pc for example.

because some screen, tends to produce better color and enhance the image .

so view them on same display to have good n fair comparison

insider news from htc disti - available early March @ SRP 2299

Yes that's what they would all think.

Think HTC will push on the Ultrapixel branding to educate us.

Yeah..better still to print it on the same printer and see the difference.
