HTC One Red Smartphone Review

The HTC One features a 4 Megapixel ‘UltraPixel' camera which is able to capture more light than competing 8 MP and 13 MP sensors, improving low-light performance.  It is also able to capture photos more quickly than the competition, as well as offering optical image stabilization technology which helps to reduce motion blur.

The camera interface is simple to navigate and has separate buttons for taking photos and recording video, meaning you don't have to switch around to a dedicated video shooting mode.
