HTC One

The HTC One is an Android smartphone manufactured by Taiwanese manufacturer HTC. The device serves as a successor to 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 HTC One was developed with an emphasis on unique hardware and software features, such as an aluminum casing, a new image sensor implementation for its camera, stereo speakers, a revised version of HTC's Sense user experience, and other new software functionality such as the "BlinkFeed" news aggregator and "Zoe" camera features.

While initially 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. Despite these issues (which also prompted the company to double its production capacity in May 2013 to make up for the delays), the One sold around 5 million units through its first two months of worldwide availability—showing a noticeably slower rate of sales than its competitors. The One was well-received overall by critics for its hardware design and software features, but certain aspects of the device's software were met with mixed reviews.
