The HTC One is an Android smartphone manufactured by the Taiwanese manufacturer HTC. Serving as a successor to the HTC’s 2012 flagship phone, the One X (a device that was critically acclaimed but commercially unsuccessful due in part to poor marketing efforts), the One places emphasis on unique hardware and software features, such as an aluminum casing, front-facing stereo speakers, a revised version of HTC’s Sense user experience, and a new camera implementation with an image sensor designed to perform better in low-light environments and other unique software functionality.
While initally set for a release in mid-March 2013, manufacturing delays led to a staggered release beginning in late-March, with its release date in certain markets (such as Asia and North America) pushed back into April.
