HTC One Red Smartphone Review

Rating: 9.5.

Today we are going to take a look at one of the most highly-regarded smartphones currently on the market, the HTC One.  The One is a make-or-break product for HTC as their market share has declined significantly over the past couple of years.  They are working hard to re-establish their place as one of the top smartphone manufacturers.

The One is available in three different colours: black, silver and red.  We have the red version for review today, which is available exclusively through Phones 4U and Dial-a-phone in the UK.  We'd be surprised if this is the most popular flavour, however it's a little more interesting than the other two flavours.

It boasts a number of high end features including a 1.7 GHz Quad-Core  Snapdragon processor, 4.7″ full-HD display, and a pair of HTC BoomSound front facing speakers.
