The HTC One is the Taiwanese manufacturer's new flagship Android phone for 2013. It comes with an all-metal body and 1080p Full-HD screen. Android 4.1 "Jelly Bean" is powered by a Snapdragon quad-core processor and 2GB of RAM. On the camera side of things HTC combines a 4MP sensor with, for a smartphone, unusually large photosites with a fast F2.0 lens and optical image stabilization which should make the One the smartphone of choice for taking pictures in low light.

The HTC One is high-end smartphone with an excellent screen and stereo speakers that are a notch above the rest, making it an excellent choice for viewing images and watching video. The feature set of the camera app is very comprehensive but some of the functions cannot quite convince us fully yet. The camera performs well in low light and when using the flash which makes it a great mobile tool for social photography, but the 4MP sensor is not without its flaws and users who like to view images at a pixel level will not always be impressed.
