VG Republic Writes: Phone manufacturers need to take notice of the newly developed HTC One because the maker has become a certified A$$ kicker with their newly developed toy. That means you too Samsung. As far as Androids go there isn’t a single manufacturer that can compete with the market leash that has been maintained by Samsung since the bursting popularity of the Galaxy series phones. Well that was until HTC came along with the One, and it doesn’t look like their aim at Samsung is done yet. Looking to capitalize on the past success of the Galaxy SIII and it’s Mini-Me, the SIII Mini, HTC seems to want it’s own tiny look-alike with the HTC One Mini as uncovered by Phone Arena, that looks to be on horizon.
The HTC One M7 is one of the best smartphones of yester-year and even though Android 5.0 Lollipop is still not being released for the handset, users who are not in the mood to wait until next year might have a solution. The LiquidSmooth ROM fir the HTC One M7 is now available and is based on Android 5.0.2 Lollipop AOSP.
I wonder why the initial 5.0.1 Lollipop rollout didn't include the 5.0.2 features?
The Android 5.0 Lollipop update has been sent out to most Google Play Edition devices, as well as some Motorola and LG smartphones, but we are yet to see it show up on the HTC One M8 and One M7. After numerous delays caused by Google not accepting the build propositions from HTC, we can finally say that we have an official Android 5.0 Lollipop update release date for the HTC One M8 and One M7.
Not too far behind the nexus 5. It's a great update significant improvement to my battery life.
The HTC One (M8) for Windows might feature an uncanny resemblance to the Android-based One (M8), down to the looks, camera and battery size, but interestingly, despite its equally sized, 2600mAh battery, the Windows Phone 8.1 device has longer battery life.
android needs to go back to removing some of the default apps installed. infact id rather have a lighweight, bare bones OS and install each app as i need.
Um there are these things called the htc one s and the htc one v which were essentially mini one x's. So no htc is only "copying" itself.
Also you can say that samsung copied sony's xperia p u lineup as they are essentially "mini's" of the xperia s.
Atleast the one mini isn't a watered down version of the one as the s3 and s4 mini are going to be of their bigger sibilings.
I like the design (look) of the HTC one over the GS4. It looks more....... high end, techy. That is all.
