Mid October. Pricing still unknown but it is $249 for QX10 and $499 for QX100
More like all from the Sony Lens. The lens has it's own sensor and imaging processor. My HTC One just act as remote/viewfinder

Won't be par. DSLR still has the larger sensor (APSC and FF). The QX100 only 1" sensor which is same size with Sony RX100, RX100MII, Nikon J and V series. The 1 inch' sensor not even bigger than micro four third sensor but they are on par with.



So I would say 1" sensor more on par with micro four third.

Above compact class. It is still better than Nokia pureview 808 and Lumia 1020 in terms of sensor size.

To put it simple, we have this category sensor size

1/3" (normal phone camera sensor size)
1/2.3" (normal budget compact cam sensor size) This is where QX10 sensor is and also Sony Xperia Z1, Samsung Galaxy Camera and Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom
1/1.7" (High end compact camera like Panasonic LX series, Olympus XZ series)
1/1.2" (Nokia pureview 808 size)
2/3" (high end compact like Fujifilm X10/X20)
1" (high end compact (Sony RX100/RX100MII) or mirrorless (Nikon J & V series) This is where QX100 sensor is
4/3" (mirrorless sensor size for all Panasonic and Olympus series)
APS-C (Sony NEX, Samsung NX, entry lvl and mid range DSLR)
Full Frame aka 35mm (High end DSLR with Sony RX1 and RX1R as exception for being fist compact with full frame sensor).

There are some sensor size also sit in between but they are not common size

because I awesome

Freaking awesome man....
Love gold color, but seriously why so many people mocking at apple when they release a gold phone.

I think even if HTC release new model, price still won't drop 
Seriously? I thought One S not flagship. Weird price higher than One X
They make bad decisions before. I think the only helping them now is HTC One. If not why they bother to release 4 colors. HTC One should be a catalyst to a better future for HTC. They should build from here.

What they need is other models that cater to different segments. Even Apple now got cheaper Iphones. And from personal experience with HTC, their phones are not the cheapest in the market. Pricing wise have to be competitive as well. Although this probably will eat their profits as well. 

HTC One changed my perception about HTC. Hopefully they can continue with that.
