HTC just Introduced the HTC1: A New Flagship Phone to Take On the Competition

The big thing here obviously is the screen, and the one has a 4.7-inch 1080P display which at 468 pixels per inch is as high-res as we've seen on a smartphone ever. Other 1080p screens we've seen have all been larger, like the Sony Xperia Z and similar size screens that are 5 inches in diameter. However, this new phone's screen is still relatively small compared to some of its competitors, such as the Galaxy S3 and the Nexus 4, which both have 4.7-inch or 4.8-inch screens but with a resolution of 720p instead of 1080p. This adds a whole new level of resolution to the phone, making it stand out from the crowd.

Despite its relatively small size, the phone's design is still comparable to most Android phones on the market. It's a little taller and thinner than the Galaxy S3 and slightly taller than the Nexus 4, but overall, it's a big phone like many of its competitors. This makes the iPhone 5, which is smaller and still relatively high-res, feel significantly different in terms of raw processing power. However, this new phone is as good as we've ever seen it comes with Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon 600 processor, which is a quad-core chip that's an upgrade over the S4, which is inside the Galaxy S3, and even over the still pretty new S4 Pro inside the Nexus 4 and the Xperia Z. It also clocks a little faster than its competition, but that's not as important a number in a smartphone.

In terms of storage, the phone comes with 2 gigs of RAM and either 32 or 64 gigs of internal storage, which is higher than all of its competitors. The one also comes with all the standard Android phone trappings, including LTE, Bluetooth 4.0, and more. One definite advantage it has is an IR blaster inside its power button, which you can use as a remote for your TV. There aren't many phones that have this feature, making it a unique selling point for the HTC1.

HTC also talked a lot about the camera on the one, but unfortunately, it's one place where HTC kind of loses big on specs. The phone has a grand total of 4 megapixels, which is significantly lower than some of its competitors, such as the Nexus 4, iPhone 5, and Galaxy S3, which all have 8-megapixel cameras. However, HTC is calling them "Ultra pixels" and claims that they're far better than anything else out there. It's really betting big on software, hoping that this doesn't matter when it comes to camera performance.

In terms of overall design, the one looks as good as any Android phone we've seen yet. However, as always with Android phones and HTC phones in particular, we need to put the battery, software, and hardware to the test before we can decide for sure. The phone's coming out around the world soon, and it'll be available on Sprint, AT&T, and T-Mobile in the US. We'll keep you posted once we get one to test out for real.

The HTC1 is certainly an interesting new flagship phone that's looking to take on some of the best phones currently on the market. With its high-resolution screen, powerful processor, and unique features like the IR blaster and "Ultra pixels," it's definitely worth keeping an eye on. However, as with any Android phone, we need to wait until we get our hands on one to see how it performs in real-world tests.
