What is best htc phone
THE BEST PHONE HTC EVER MADE?
what's good guys and this is the HTC One
m7 - a lot of people the best smartphone
the company has ever made so let's see
what makes it so special and how the
phone took home almost perfect review
scores and usually the package is made
primarily from plastic which is very
rare but solid and it's free from the
creases and damage we normally see on
cardboard boxes the highlights of the
phone include blinkfeed which is like a
more general form of the newsfeed you
might find on Facebook we've of course
got boom sound which is I'd say the
crowning jewel of the HTC One m7 but
we'll come back onto this and of course
we've got HTC Zoe which you probably
haven't heard of in a while mostly
because no one really cared about it the
phone is on top and under this we've got
two compartments left hand side houses
loads of paper and the right side has
the micro USB cable and charger but also
these these were at the time and even
today some of the best sounding
earphones included in a phone box
there's also nice to see they've got
some sort of visual identity and they're
not just one plain color with no
branding all right then we've got the
phone and as you can probably tell this
is the rare blue color variant over here
and it's not just a solid smartphone it
is a visual masterpiece alright so back
in March 2013 when this phone was
released it came with some truly
standout aspects to it would we've got
to talk about but just before that we
need to take a look at the ultra pixel
camera this was HTC's way of selling the
four megapixel sensor that we placed on
the HTC One m7 the term ultra pixel is
actually describing how the huge sensor
they put inside this phone combined with
the lower megapixel count actually
allows it to capture up to 300 percent
more light than competing 13 megapixel
cameras and having less megapixels
whilst it sounds counterintuitive does
have some noticeable benefits you can
snap photos faster ones that take up a
lower file size and are less likely to
be compressed when you're using other
programs or sending them and also this
does better in low light you probably
curious to see the results so on the
left-hand side we've got the galaxy note
2 which was Samsung's latest phone at
the time this one was launched and on
the right is the HTC One and from this
distance the lower megapixel count on
the HTC is not so apparent but the size
of the sensor truly is there is a
certain level of sharpness achieved by
the amount of light this is capturing
that the Samsung is just not keeping up
with upon zooming in HTC's detail is on
the lowest
but not by as much as you'd expect given
the numbers I really do think this phone
has the foundations of a very strong
camera and it's kind of a shame that HTC
ditched the ultrapixel idea rather than
trying to refine it all right so the HTC
One m7 is crafted out of one aluminium
unibody which truly set the precedent
for smartphones in the future the body
has zero flexing zero creaking and also
extremely strong drop and scratch
resistance no it is chunky don't get me
wrong but it's not as heavy as you'd
expect and the matte finish was his
fingerprints and keeps it fairly easy to
grip oh yeah and it's visually stunning
grunted I wouldn't swap my 2017 Galaxy
Note 8 out for it but some of the
elements of this design are undoubtedly
yet to be beaten and if HTC could have
refined his concept into something with
a more modern screen to body ratio and
thickness this phone could have been a
winner the screen to received applause
all the way around a Super LCD 3
technology behind it produced bright
natural colors and with a sharp 1080p
resolution combined with a fairly small
4.7 inch display this had pixel density
off the charts it does still have pretty
large bezels meaning it is still hard to
use with one hand definitely an area
that friends have improved on since with
their narrow sides and better ergonomics
but when you combine it this display
with these speakers the HTC One m7 was
pretty much the king when it came to
video audio is so immersive it brings a
smile to your face even today and it's
still clearer than my 2017 dual speaker
pixel 2 XL this phone was pretty much
the start of the dual speaker era and
it's the first of its kind but
ironically still one of the better ones
breem sound sounds like a gimmicky
marketing term what it does do is
transformative the aspect which is
perhaps a little bit more gimmicky and a
little bit harder to notice was the
Beats Audio integration so this phone
came out in a time when beats were the
headphones to buy everyone was wearing
them on the streets and so by slapping
that brand name on I guess they must
have drawn a lot of the audio
enthusiasts in but this was more of a
software integration it was simply a
tuning of the speaker's to emphasize the
bass and it works it sounds good
but it's not exactly a hardware fee the
snapdragon 600 is a chip that powers
this phone which was pretty good at the
time but I remember being very
disappointed that it missed out on the
highest-end Snapdragon 800 and it's
impressive to see how far processing
power has come since 2013 the modern
equivalent of the 600 is between three
to four times more powerful namely the
Snapdragon 660 not to say the UI isn't
fast
because it is but it doesn't feel quite
as responsive to your touch the HTC One
m7 won't quite cut it in terms of tough
3d games and loading screens stay around
for a little bit longer multitasking to
somewhat suffers with only two gigs of
RAM here the One m7 was a real turning
point for HTC's Sense UI now based off
Android 5.0 lollipop it is really easy
to fall in love with the focus is on
being light on being fast a stark
contrast to Samsung's TouchWiz or even
most other smartphone skins at the time
and blinkfeed is genuinely something you
find yourself using this news feed like
list is not something that's new
technology but it's good implementation
of existing tech and sometimes that's
enough the camera software suite 2 is
robust
it's got face detection object removal
and automatic highlight reels usually
stuff you find in third-party
applications and that brings us on to
HTC Zoe which is a three second live
photo effectively where 12 frames are
captured and it's a cool idea and
combined with the fast shutter speed of
the camera as well as the low amount of
blur the N photos come out with lets you
do some cool stuff but it's just not
practical enough these small size photos
end up becoming small videos so the
limited space you have on your phone
which is non expandable is now getting
filled very quickly and if yours are one
of those things you'll show your friends
and play around with if you have five
minutes but not something you start
using by default aside from this you'll
notice Hardware capacitive keys Plus HTC
logo that kind of looks like it's just
been used to fill some space you combine
that black bar with the large chin on
the top and the bottom of the phone
which are accommodating the stereo
speakers you can kind of see why some
people were upset about wasted space on
the phone that was one of the very few
complaints this device received when it
was launched it's just a little bit
longer than perhaps it needs to be but
this kind of leads on to the conclusion
of this video the reason why we're kind
of making it this is a time when HTC was
absolutely out their peak they were
building fast beautiful ferns that
genuinely had a strong visual identity
of their own this was not a perfect
phone but it was certainly an innovative
one this was the first time we'd seen
ultra pixel technology the software had
been completely overdone this is the
first appearance of stereo speakers on a
phone in quite some time and the screen
was really really well regarded and so
when we look back to 2013 the golden
year when HTC released his phone it's
kind of sad because the company is
really not doing well in the smartphone
market now and perhaps if they'd
actually taken the successes of this
phone improved on the floors they could
be
a completely different position now
enemy guys I really hope you enjoyed the
