( AT&T’s version of the HTC One launches on April 19th starting at $199.99.) I have been carrying the global 3G version of the HTC One for more than two weeks and now I’ve had the AT&T ( T) version, the subject of this review, for the past few days. HTC might have launched the One X+, One X, One S and other One-branded smartphones last year, but this is the first handset truly worthy of the “One” moniker. With the HTC One, you can have Apple-quality hardware, a Samsung-quality display, one of the most refined versions of Android in the world and an all-around outstanding user experience all rolled up into one single smartphone. You don’t have to carry a huge, clunky handset like the Lumia 920 to enjoy a fresh user interface that positions real-time content updates at the forefront. You don’t have to live without innovative features like Google Now or deal with a comparatively tiny screen to have a gorgeous piece of hardware like the iPhone 5.


You don’t have to have a cheap-feeling plastic phone like the Galaxy S III to also have a big, beautiful high-definition display.

It this regard, the HTC One changes everything we have come to accept with smartphones, and with consumer electronics in general.
