Going with a Unibody design yet again, HTC has tried to re-invent its design form by going all metal and grilles galore. With a 1.7GHz quad-core processor powering it, a few new additions to the UI and an all-new camera tech dubbed UltraPixels, the One is a strong contender for this quarter's top smartphone. Of course, it’s competing with the Galaxy S4 for that position. Nevertheless, it’s got a lot to offer, including Beats Audio enhancement technology.
