Taiwanese giant HTC has today officially unveiled the HTC One which has widely leaked in the past few days and the smartphone packs in a 4.7-inch full-HD Super LCD 3 display which gives a crisp pixel density of 468ppi and is protected by Gorilla Glass 2.
The HTC One is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 600 quad-core processor which clocks at 1.7GHz and is coupled with 2GB of RAM. The internal storage on the smartphone is pegged at 32 GB or 64 GB and sadly there is no microSD slot for expansion.
The smartphone weighs 143 grams and measures 137.4mm x 68.2mm x 9.3mm and once you flip the aluminium unibody smartphone, we can see the UltraPixel Camera with 4 MP BSI sensor and f/2.0 lens and as HTC says, every pixel will gather 300 percent more light than the current sensors. The company has also included OIS (Optical Image Stabilization) on the HTC One and has coupled the HTC ImageChip 2.
HTC has also announced the launch of the HTC Zoe, which gives people the ability to shoot high-res photos that come to life in three-second snippets and explains it as below:
Zoes, photos and videos are displayed in a unique way that brings the gallery to life and transforms the traditional photo gallery of still images into a motion gallery of memories. It also automatically creates integrated highlight films from each event comprised of Zoes, photos and videos set to music with professionally designed cuts, transitions and effects. These highlight videos can be remixed or set to different themes, and can be easily shared on social networks, email and other services.
HTC One will go on to offer one of the best audio experience as the company has introduced the HTC BoomSound, front-facing stereo speakers with a dedicated amplifier and an amazing full HD display that immerses people in music, videos, games and the YouTube clips they love. Also the Beats Audio integration is enabled across the entire experience for rich, authentic sound whether you’re listening to your favorite music, watching a YouTube video or playing a game.
