Improved sound As with most HTC releases, Beats Audio integration is on board to help you hear all the detailed layers of your favourite tracks. The HTC One gives your music a further boost with its BoomSound feature; dual speakers positioned on the front of the phone. These are perfect to really punch out above the crowd when sharing content with friends. UltraPixel camera The camera phone has become the unfortunate victim of the megapixel race as manufacturers constantly try to outdo each other because customers believe a higher count means better camera. The HTC One ditches this fools race for their Ultrapixel camera; a snapper with less quantity, but pixels that are larger in size. Thanks to the improved lens and wide aperture, the HTC One captures plenty of light so your photos will be full of accurate tones and colours. HTC Zoe The Ultrapixel camera can automatically capture 3 second HD videos when you take a photo. Known as HTC Zoe, these clips are viewed automatically when browsing your gallery. A great way to bring your photo album to life. So thats a quick round up of the HTC One. Available to purchase on pre-order, the HTC One will go on general release from the 15th March.
