The down side to success is the pressure to keep on succeeding. HTC’s 2013 flagship, the original HTC One (M7), defined “successful” in nearly every way. We awarded it one of the highest review scores we’d ever bestowed on a smartphone, a reception mirrored by most of the tech community. “Bravo HTC,” we said of its stellar industrial design and innovative new features. Our opinion stayed

The HTC M8 leaks again, just as we were wondering what else is there to say at the event that would surprise us. This time around, following up on yesterday’s hands-on video leaked (in German), we’re seeing the M8 being compared to its predecessor, the 2013 flagship, the M7. Embedded below, for your viewing pleasure, is a video coming from TechSmartt on YouTube. The comparison looks at similarities ...

We truly live in an amazing time. We have some of the most technologically advanced consumer electronics known to man, and we carry them around in our pockets! Although processors and GPUs have progressed at an almost alarming rate, one vital component has not kept up: the battery. Doing anything with our smartphones and tablets requires that they’re “awake” — the processor, RAM, and who knows what else has to be warmed up and consuming power to check email or get notifications. Today’s processors can quickly scale from just a few hundred MHz up to a few ...

We knew it was coming sooner or later and with HTC’s New York (and London) event, it is happening today. The Taiwanese phone-maker is one more key player that decided to move away from trade shows making Mobile World Congress just a tiny little bit unexciting and poor. The HTC M7/One has been rumored for quite some time and we’re finally getting an announcement at 10:00 AM EST. The 2013 Android flagship made in Taiwan will be unveiled and we’re giving you our first ...

HTC has really been saturating social media with teases for its February 19 event and the expected HTC One reveal, and you already may have seen it post images of a metallic slab and close-up eyeball, both showing glimpses of its new phone and promoting the event’s date. Today there’s a new one going out, showing a grouping of camera lenses and accessories. Like the others, that February 19 date is hidden in here as well, with 2, 9, and 13 spaced-out around the lens’s rim. But besides simply teasing that date, can we read ...

It’s seeming more and more likely that HTC’s M7 will make its debut at the HTC One, and with just five days to go until the company’s press event, the full story on the phone will be available very soon. In the meantime, some new rumors have arrived to help give us an idea of just how the smartphone will ultimately go up for sale, where you’ll find it, and how much you could hope to pay. Last week, we saw some evidence suggesting that the ...
Still not sure which side to take in the HTC M7/HTC One controversy? While HTC itself seems to keep using M7, as we’ve from CEO Peter Chou himself, and seen referenced in the directory structure for the new teaser ads on the company’s site, there’s been growing support for One since we first heard the name rumored, seeing it pop-up on a UAProf listing. Now, we’re still not willing to dismiss the idea that the ...
Camera quality is just one of the many metrics we use to gauge the overall capacity of a smartphone. Alongside performance, battery life, display quality, storage capacity, memory and a host of connectivity and sensors, the camera is one of the more important qualities of a smartphone. Specifications and performance are quickly approaching a threshold where reasonable and modest have been replaced with exceptional and excessive … in a good way. Only two areas are in dire need of improvement: battery life and image sensing. Battery life has met its fair share of hurdles over the years. ...
Rarely has the “lull” between trade shows given us so much to talk about. We kicked off the week with an exciting announcement welcoming two new members to the Pocketnow team, and since then we’ve barely been able to keep news, editorials, and videos on the front page long enough to read them. This feed is on fire. From ever-strengthening rumors about the HTC M7 and Samsung Galaxy S IV, to interviews with newcomers like Jolla, to new looks at old friends with BlackBerry 10, to ...
