THE HTC ONE INFORMATION

HTC One

The HTC One is a high-end Android smartphone produced by the Taiwanese companyHTC. The One was unveiled on February 19, 2013 in New York City, as HTC's 2013 flagship smartphone, and is the successor to HTC's 2012 flagship smartphone, the One X—a device that was critically acclaimed, but commercially unsuccessful due in part to insufficient marketing efforts. The HTC One was developed with a major emphasis on unique hardware and software features such as a unibody aluminum frame, front-facing dual stereo speakers, an UltraPixel image sensor implementation for its camera, and new proprietary software features such as an updated version of HTC's Sense UI, the BlinkFeed content feed interface, and the Zoe camera feature. The One was universally praised for its hardware design and well received for its software features.^[2]

Beginning in March 2013, the HTC One was made available to 185 mobile operators and major retailers in more than 80 regions and countries. Manufacturing delays led to a staggered release beginning in late March, with its release date in certain markets (such as Asia and North America) pushed as far back as April. Despite the delays, the One sold around 5 million units during its first two months of worldwide availability,[3]and by mid-2013, the HTC One was described by the president of HTC's North American division as the most successful launch in the company's history.^[4]
