Emphasize as one of it selling points not THE ONLY selling point.
A lots of other features are there..BlinkFeed..Zoe..BoomSound. two stereo speakers..full metal casing body..etc..etc
And yet certain ppl keep on highlight the camera between these two phones. Why..?
Sad truth is..it just an obsessive fans arguments between HTC and Sony. Pure and simple. Both side want to be acknowledge that their beloved phone is the best between these two products.

typical ma.. it is like a trend liao, ppl owes ask, camera good or not. But ppl like me dont give a fuk to the camera becos watever it is, phone camera owes sux i have no expectations on the camera, if can perform, good, if not, then i nvm de.. more important is the overall functions of the phone, make sure it is user-friendly,practical and functional. Good example iphone, nothing special about the phone, but user friendly and overall very pleasant experience, that's why it sells since it was being introduced. But now we have plenty of alternatives, android is bringing out better user experience year to year, it's good to see this. But i think i will pass this phone, will wait for tegra 4 to come out, owes have faith in nvidia Last time snapdragon s4 pro before release say until so godlike with all the kickass demo, but in the end nothing spectacular came out.

My major concern is battery life. Either than that, i'm pretty ok with everything.

sounds to me like zoe with drink up alot of battery

And the BlinkFeed will surely use data to keep updating

HTC Zoe comes with HTC Sense 5.0 ??? I really hope it can come to my One X

~~duhh~ Now SGS4 also will be using the same processor with One Snapdragon 600 with 1.9GHz
HTC One will have a real worthy challenger now...

If butterfly with 2020mah can sustain 49hrs, I can't understand why htc one with 2300mAH + newer processor can't achieve 60hrs.

Well, if you read what I wrote previously, I said "ONE OF ITS selling point". I did not say "THE ONLY selling point".

If you look at the keynote, Scott Croyle touted ONE's camera as a revolutionary breakthrough which will automatically draw everyone's attention. Moreover, HTC just coined a new term called Ultrapixel which is rather new in the camera industry leading to the inevitable attention. It's normal for people to feel curious hence wanting to compare its quality with those of other flagships out there.

I do agree with you that they are other features like BlinkFeed and Zoe etc but these are only software which can be rather subjective when it comes to how they dictate user experience. Stereo speakers in htc aint the first of its kind in smartphone. Just look up for those in Nokia.

Finally, drawing comparisons doesn't make us fanboys or obsessive. We want to know whatever we are going to invest is worth the money. You maybe right too about some people making the camera of a phone the main determinant in their choice of a phone. To each his own.

Rumours will be rumours..
And even if it's true, I don't think the extra 0.2ghz will gain any advantage over htc one.

i can see htc one+ incoming.
htc got everything right, BUT, 4mp is simply too small. when zoomed in, the pixels look blotched and patchy..

they should've gone for moderate sized pixels, around 1.4~1.6 microns and opt for a 6mp shooter. that fixes all issues..

right now the only issue with the cam is sharpness..

Time will tell. Once it released..I'm sure a proper test can be done for actual result

is One, not Zoe

HTC always announce & sell the phone 1st follow by Samsung LOL

0.2 ghz = 200 mhz
since got 4 core = 800 mhz, not big difference ?

He meant the Zoe feature of HTC...

off course I know the zoe future is from htc one
but he said like this
htc zoe come with sense 5 ui ???

htc zoe is a camera feature name only

I think 4MP is enough. It's save storage space.

Tell me why you want a DSLR 24MP pics? In the end, you are just going to upload to FB and use it to send whatapps only most of the time.
Even sending whatapps, the photos will be compressed into 2MP from your 13MP before sending out.
Tell me, are you going to zoom your friends photos in FB?

The most important is the quality of the pic taken.

You are not going to perform advertising, marketing, promotion artworks which requires 18MP to 24MP.

Thanks for understanding, bro

For smartphone CPU, it's means total processing power is 1.9Ghz.

1.9Ghz shared by 4 cores

If each core running at 1.9Ghz, can really go fry hotdogs edy.

bro, dslr sensors are like few inches thick. let me give u a visual representation of the sensor sizes.



dslr cameras cannot be compared to phone cameras because, their sensor are worlds apart. with that sensor size, capturing small megapixels will cause the image to look very crammed. and the sensor that size cane asily accomodate up to 30 mps of pictures.

so your point is not valid.

2 : yes facebook rescales them, but i dont store my photos online. and i believe alot of photography enthusiasts prefer to print / render their photos in fullhd (or even more) to be used as wallpapers / cover art/ etc. how are you going to paste a photo titled : NATURE HD(example) but your picture isnt sharp?

my point is, htc gave up on mp war. that is right, but the downsizing they took is too big, even at 0% zoom, i can see that the ip5 camera is sharper.

not like computer got 4 cores then then 1.9 ghz * 4 ???

From the examples you quoted, there isn't any samples that once you zoom the photo, it is not clear.
So, why make judgement so early?

And of course, the most important thing is I dont think HTC will release a camera that capture a pic that is totally a crap when zooming when they really depends on this phone to recover their company's fortunes that dipped terribly in 2012.

That's why I say Smartphone CPU is not the same as Laptop CPU.
Laptop have heatsinks, Smartphone got???
