HTC ONE

htc.com Screen size: 4.7 inches

After racing on to the smartphone scene towards the end of the last decade, HTC has had a relatively quiet couple of years. This could change with the new HTC One – an iPhoneinspired creation carved from a block of aluminum. It packs a 4.7-inch screen with a 1080p display the manufacturer claims is sharper than the iPhone 5’s. HTC has continued its relationship with Beats Audio, building two stereo speakers into the front of the unit, allowing for deep, rich audio playback. It packs a punch with a quadcore Snapdragon processor, and comes with the latest version of Android, so this should be an investment that lasts for some time. Its camera comes with all the bells and whistles you would expect of a high-end smartphone, but there are better ones out there. Pros Great sound, excellent design Cons There are better smartphone cameras on the market
