Sounds like the kid has a mental disability. And his parents know have the joy of being sued by HTC. Lovely.
Was I the only one thinking why is this kid filming on a teenage spatter stained bed ? Yuk.
Phone looks really nice though.

Phone looked very nice in the video I must admit.
Bigger than the original One.
Let's just hope the camera is 13Mpx... Please HTC... Don't screw it again.
If other manufacturers can include the focus feature with one camera why would HTC include two cameras?

I don't fully understand the 2 different camera lenses. It sounds like its a significant upgrade. I typically just use the shutter function and choose best shot.
8 mp is fine for me. If the one has even a 6 mp cam, it would be tempting. But the bottom bezels are unnerving for me. I just wish the Z2 was a bit smaller.
Totally agree. Bit frustrating that it's just so damn big.
It's practically the size of a Note 3.
Guess I was wrong with the dimensions. And its design is starting to appeal to me as well just because I like the black strips on the back which shouldn't look dirty unlike the white. Not a fan of the headphones on the bottom but easily can live with it. Looks great in steel gray with a brushed metal look and more rounded. I probably won't still be interested in it but definitely looks appealing enough to new buyers. Still curious what that second camera is really for. And still waiting for that KILLER new feature. Not just improved innards and features from last year. Nothing has wowed me yet.
Galaxy S5 has water/dust resistance, fingerprint scanner, and a heart sensor. S4 Active aside, that is three new hardware features completely new to the regular S line that the regular S4 didn't have last year. The All New One has dual rear cameras. The SoC is Nexus 5/Note 3. Seems like HTC is in the same position as BlackBerry of last year. Seems like no matter what they do like win tech awards, nobody is really buying them. Like a film sweeping the Oscars but it wasn't a box-office hit. Critics love them. Typical consumers only know Apple and Samsung. The latter did some brilliant marketing at the recent Oscars for the Note 3 and S5. Great job, Ellen. And Samsung is including a ton of free perks worth $500 of subcription fees for any new S5 owner.
I'm eyeing more of the Moto X2, LG G3, Note 4, Nexus 6, and iPhone 6, but HTC can still make great looking devices no matter if their ship goes down. One of the disadvantages is the release date. Spring is too early of the season. Best time to release is September - November. Sony is following Samsung's biannual approach and will release an update to the Z2 after six months. At least Samsung can differentiate more with the smaller S-line vs Note-series and its S-Pen unlike Sony's Z/Z1/Z2. Don't be surprised if HTC does the same thing like they did in 2012 when they released the One X and later the One X+.

Ok, BIG BIG question:
Will the new One also have 4K video recording just like the S5 and Z2?
It should have, right? New phones being released this year are going to have it, but...
Rumors point out that the new One will have the Snapdragon 800, not 801, due to HTC not being a priority for Qualcomm, and I think the 4K video recording is thanks to the new 801, but the Note 3 has the 800 and 4K, so...
I really hope HTC includes 4K video recording. Not having it would make me not buy it.

I don't think the snagdragon 801 is loads faster than 800 anyway though..
I'm guessing the note 4 will get the 805 though.

It really depends on that elusive question... what megapixel does the camera support. If it's the UltraPixel camera as some fear it may not support 4K.
I was hoping Samsung would take notice of all the design and build awards HTC got for the One. I was hoping the S5 was going to be brushed metal but no joy so far ...
They'll wait till the sell a few million (or a 10's of million) S5's before launching the S5 F / PRIME..I am sure a more premium version will come but not entirely sure whether that would be a metal design..They may just introduce 2k display, 64 bit processor and improved internals (3gb ram) and call it a day, and it would still be a worthy upgrade in my opinion.
Yeah i have heard rumors about a "prime". It would make sense to release an upgraded version later in the year to go up against the iPhone 6 with a larger screen.
Its all in the "margins" and the number of devices samsung has in the market makes pricing extremely hard, and to sustain high price even tougher..Premium phones cost more to make (compared to plastic) given all things equal, and you need to sustain the price amidst competition to be able to make a good ROI..Apple has had the ability to maintain high profits, but we have seen prices of other flagships fall quite a bit probably more so int he Android eco system given the huge ammount of choice both from within Samsung and from outside vendors (Lenovo, Sony, LG, HTC, Nexus, Moto, and the chinese OEM"s)..
