Any of you thinking of moving to the HTC One?

Would be interested in everyone's thoughts.

What do you want to know?

I have one and am happy with it.

 

[Nocaldawg]

What do you like more about the one and what do you feel like you lost in the move?

 

[Shocky]

No.

Played around with one. Camera is great. The photo/video software is pretty awesome. Speakers rock. But for my personal taste it's too big, no SD card slot, no replaceable battery.

The camera is above average at best, there's not enough detail.

Want to take snaps you can use as a wallpaper? forget it unless you like blurred images.

An 8MP Ultrapixel camera could be fun, but 4MP is not quite good enough to replace your stand alone in most situations.

I have used pictures from the camera as wallpaper (on the phone) - it's fine as long as you frame right and don't have to crop much (or at all, since it can shoot 16:9). It does have the merit that for a phone it is fast focussing and capturing. I'd like finer control in the image settings, but I'd probably say that of any phone. Personally though I've never seen a phone camera that would replace a stand-alone for me (on quality or flexibility), so that isn't one of my criteria when choosing a phone - don't know whether it's one of the OP's or not.

As for the question, I'm not sure "what you like more" helps if we're all comparing with different devices, and don't know what factors matter to you. Compared to my 3 year old HTC Desire I miss the SD card slot slightly, but have learned to live without. I use USB OTG for some of the stuff I'd previously used the SD for. It's fast, fluid, battery life and reception are fine - all better than my previous phone, mostly much better. I'd prefer it slightly smaller, but will credit HTC for at least not making it bigger.

But as I always say in these threads, at the end of the day what you need to do is go and have a play with the different devices you are considering yourself. Only you know whether something will feel right to you.

I was referring the desktops not phones, but you knew that.

There's a huge gap between a low end point and shoot and a high end DSLR camera

The new 13MP shooters are very good, the Nokia and new Sony phone is even better.

Actually I didn't, but I put the qualifier in in case.

I agree. I don't buy low-end point and shoots, but having said that none of my cameras is particularly new or very high end. A 13Mpix phone has a lot more pixels than my SLR, but I know which I'd choose every time - except for putting it in the pocket!

Mind you, that's important too, because the best camera is the one you have with you .
