The new HTC One is designed to impress and is built to perform. Beautiful all-metal design, an ever-changing home screen that streams customized online feeds, dual front-facing speakers and an amazing UltraPixel camera. Experts and users from around the world have spoken, and the HTC One was awarded Smartphone of the Year at this year’s Mobile World Congress

HTC One Phone Features:

The Duo Camera features HTC’s innovative HTC UltraPixel™

Instantly create professional-looking portraits by altering the focus of your image after the photo has been taken with UFocus™ or make your subject stand out in a more surprising way by altering the background with creative effects using Foregrounder. You can also give your best shots a seasonal flavour using the Seasons animations.  Copy & Paste lets you place your family and friends in a different photo entirely, while Dimension Plus™ presents a unique perspective on your photos by letting you view your image from a different angle by simply tilting the screen.

Motion Launch™ – convenient gesture-controlled shortcuts

Motion Launch™ is immediately able to detect its position and movement, thanks to built-in motion sensors that allow you to interact with the phone without turning on the screen. A simple swipe will activate the device, Auto Answer allows you to answer a call by putting the phone to your ear without touching the screen – a handy tool if the phone rings when you are digging the garden or washing the dishes – and a double tap turns the lock screen on and off.

HTC Dot View™ case – protect your phone with retro flair

Taking that sixth sense functionality one step further you can extend Motion Launch™ by double tapping the dot view case, in addition to checking the time, weather, new texts, emails and calls – without touching or revealing the screen.

Extreme Power Saving Mode – extra standby time at no extra cost

Fully charged the phone will deliver 14 days’ worth of battery power, whilst still allowing you to receive calls, texts and emails. This is perfect for when you are travelling. Activated either manually or automatically, it delivers 60 hours of extra standby time at 20% power, 30 hours at 10% power and 15 hours at 5% power so, whether you are out late at night or hiking in the mountains, you never have to worry about running out of battery again.

HTC BoomSound™ gets bigger

The new HTC One delivers sound that is 25% louder than the HTC One (M7) it has dual frontal stereo speakers with a new amplifier, redesigned speaker chambers and a tailored audio profile for a truly high-definition experience.

HTC BlinkFeed™ – Your news directly to your home screen

So whether you are into sports, movies or shopping, this feature ensures that you will get the information most relevant to you.

Fitness at a glance

You can get healthier and stay motivated by combining its power-saving sensor hub with the preloaded Fitbit® app. Alternatively, use the phone in conjunction with one of Fitbit’s range of trackers to access advanced features such as sleep tracking and smart alarm or to capture data when exercising without your phone. Set your fitness goals and see your achievements brought straight to your HTC BlinkFeed™ home screen with no additional effort. Fitbit is the top downloaded app for connected fitness devices on the Google Play store.
