HTC One Thread

[arsenalfan001]

HTC One features a 4.7-inch Super LCD 3 display of 1080p resolution (that's 469ppi). It should be able to match the image quality of the Butterfly's unit.

The One is powered by the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 chipset (the same ticking inside the LG Optimus G Pro) utilizing a quad-core 1.7GHz Krait 300 processor, Adreno 320 graphics and 2GB of RAM.
The camera of the HTC One sports a 4MP sensor and 1080p@30fps video recording (with HDR).
The sensor has what HTC calls Ultrapixels, which are much larger than the regular smartphone pixels and promise vastly improved per-pixel quality and low-light performance. The smartphone also offers gyroscope-based Optical image stabilization which should come in handy for video recording.


The HTC One will have 32GB or 64 GB of non-expandable storage and rich connectivity settings including LTE, NFC, Wi-Fi a/b/g/n/ac, Bluetooth 4 and GPS with GLONASS.
HTC One will launch running on Android 4.1.2 but the 4.2.2 update is already in the works.
The new flagship is made out of aluminum and is about 9.3 mm thick. It has stereo speakers at the front with impressive 93db loudness and a 2300 mAh non-removable battery. Also, its Power/Lock key on top is transparent and doubles as an IR port to control home equipment.
HTC One will be available in black, red and silver colors and will launch in March this year.

Nice but i smell a overpriced tag

[dixit8611]

Finally a phone with some innovation and best all round performance. Waiting for galaxy s4 to see something new.

[nickaustin]

Truly the best phone!!:thumbup::thumbup:

[Sudh4r]

Yes it's looks great, the RED one is super hot.

Cant wait to see how the ultrapixel performs.

[arsenalfan001]

The performance comparisons are made Here
The new Snapdragon chipset is faster than the rest [even faster than the Kraits found in Xperia Z] almost all cases, except the SunSpider - and truly the benchmark champion, atleast for now.

About the Galaxy S IV, if Samsung is going to use the A15s, ofcourse it will be blazing fast but it will be interesting how manufacturers are going to manage the heat (it has a 4W TDP) generated by them. It is difficult to use it inside a mobile.

Simply awesome phone. 4.7inch screen with 1.7 quad core Krait and with Beats Boom Boom and also with 467ppi (OMG)

[aroraanant]

HTC has come up with something really good, it is the king of all till date.
Now I am eagerly waiting to see what apple comes up in their next gen iphone.

[sam]

i hope peoples finally understand higher megapixel doesn't necessarily mean better picture quality.

No one did when Nokia said so

PS: Guys, this is HTC, since butterfly costs 44k, expect this to launch at 50k, to compete with iphone,

HTC phones are always overpriced, remember Indian One S?

[Sudh4r]

^ Yes it will be over priced, no doubt on that.

Benchmark scores looks impressive though, I sort of like the design(more than XPERIA Z) and "BLINKFEED"

[theserpent]

Great phone,Not great Price..If its priced at 28k-35k=WIN
>35k=FAIL

Butterfly is launching at 44k, you expect this to go for 35k? You don't know HTC, they sell Cortex A5 and Adreno 203 for 20k

[theserpent]

Umm yea that's true..it will be above 40k.. Hope it murders iphone though

[aroraanant]

I don't expect that HTC will launch it below 35k considering the current price of Butterfly, but if the launch it at higher price tag, it will surely go down in a couple of weeks.

[sam]

It'll be offered by reliance for low price but insanely costly postpaid plans.

[mitraark]

I like such new phones launching because then (hopefully) current high end phones will get a reasonable price cut.

Mini Exhaust fans like the ones used inside the Laptops.

Its rumored to feature a "Quad-Core" A15 running at 2.0GHz!!!! ,
Time to Make some Omlettes.

[marvelousprashant]

If Samsung uses Exynos 5 in S4, it will be octacore not quad core (although only 4 cores will be active at a given time)

I Highly Doubt that.And whats the point in packing those Extra 4 cores , if they can't run at the same time ??
Also , AFAIK its currently difficult to pack in a QUad-Core A15 on a tablet itself, due to thermal problems. Let alone be The OCtaCore on >5" Smartphone.

[randomuser111]

True, which is why it seems SIV will use Qualcomm S600.

Samsung Galaxy S IV might use Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 chipset across the board instead of Exynos

[marvelousprashant]

Rumors strongly suggest this. The exynos 5 octa has 4 x A15 cores and 4 x A7 cores. A7 has performance comparable to dual core A9 but consumes half as much battery as A9. A7 can handle light weight tasks easily and effectively. For CPU intensive tasks, the kernel will switch to A15 cores

Some rumors and leaked benchmarks suggest that S4 may have 1.9ghz snapdragon 600 SoC. However Samsung is known to put different SoCs in US and international versions.

Haha , they developed a SoC that is powerful enough , not to fit inside their phone. So they have to buy it from someone else.

Source Please.
But if that happens , it'll become even more expensive and most people are not even gonna use the A15 cores.
Also what about the delays involved while switching CPUs ??

[marvelousprashant]

Samsung Galaxy S4 allegedly spotted in benchmark tests, has 1.8GHz Exynos 5 Octa 8-core processor - Pocket-lint

It is an old rumor though (probably fake). New rumors suggest Qualcomm 600 only.

[nikufellow]

Yup the snapdragon 600 will most likely be it An overclocked 600 will help them edge out htc in benchmarks and usual removable battery + micro sd slot + a few touchwiz gimmicks could be all that they need fool reviewers .

Instantaneous, Tegra 3 and 4, check them.

At least it will be priced reasonably, talk about HTC pricing

lets wait and see

[marvelousprashant]

Regarding delay in switching b/w A7 and A15 it is 20millisecons

An important consideration of a big.LITTLE system is the time it takes to migrate a task between the Cortex-A15 cluster and the Cortex-A7 cluster. If it takes too long then it may become noticeable to the operating system and the system power may outweigh the benefit of task migration for some time. Therefore, the Cortex-A15-Cortex-A7 system is designed to migrate in less than 20,000-cycles, or 20- microSeconds with processors operating at 1GHz.

big.LITTLE is the name of ARM architecture that is being used by Samsung in Exynos 5. Too bad we wont see it in SGS4.

This is different from Tegra3. The 5th core in tegra 3 is hidden from OS and CPU allocates light weight tasks to it.
In Exynos Octa, switching is controlled by Android kernel

[randomuser111]

They might implement it in Note 3 as the huge chassis will allow it to manage the excess heat from the exynos octa chip.

Anyway, Xperia Z and ZL will also be upgraded to s600 chip by Q2 as qualcomm is discontinuing apq8064 s4 pro chip. All phones using s4 pro quad that will remain in production through Q2 will need to switch to s600. It doesnt require any changes whatsoever, fully compatible with s4 pro quad phones.

Then why buy a phone(Z/ZL) which will be outdated in 6 months
