hey guys Michael Swisher will talk another Nam here at the launch of the HTC One in New York City and checking out how the one compares to its immediate predecessor the Droid DNA so as you can see HTC has maintained the design language here if we can kind of tilt the phones there and maybe get some light on them you can see that curved build that adheres itself to your palm very well has been maintained but on the HTC One if the build is all aluminum and there is there are very little concessions to the non aluminum components here this is a kind of a single cast block and it feels amazing it is also much much smaller feeling in the hand even though it does not much smaller than the Droid DNA even though they are similarly sized the DNA appears larger because of that five inch panel this 4.7 inch panel is the same resolution on the HTC One at 1080p but it is has a higher pixel density because it is only 4.7 inches diagonal you can see the edge to edge you can see the bezel size is comparable between these two and you can definitely tell that they're from the same manufacturer because their design language is similar but it is a very very big departure for HTC in the design department that extends the software as well this is powered by a Snapdragon 600 processor backed up by two gigs of ram not microsd expandable as we were thinking initially but you can get this device in 32 or 64 gig configurations and this is the new blinkfeed which Brandon showed you in his hands on go too far in depth here but obviously the biggest ribeyes the biggest revision to HCC cents in a very long time and you have your traditional app drawer there on the DNA so we're seeing you just much more traditional HTC Sense arrangement here's your app drawer in the DNA compared to the app drawer here we have more not white space it's black space here but just more space things have been thought about differently that clock is now omnipresent with the weather the buttons have been rearranged down below a double tap on the home button gets you to multitasking whereas there's a dedicated button for that on the DNA which depending on what yeah exactly there's a lot of there's a lot of chrome left in the sense for whereas it since 5:00 they've really done a good job of cleaning things up look at that the calculator is a great great example of how things have just been flattened out you can even see the difference in the keyboard here it's definitely been flattened on the new devices space between the keys has been taken out and it is a little better this device the HTC one is going to ship with both Pro and the stock Android browser out of the box let's do a comparison speed test one two three and obviously we're not testing load times here downloading the same page the present both popped up instantly and we're also not on the same net was loading at Google Search page but as you can see so let's see a responsiveness here first I'm very difficult to hold both of these phones just check responsiveness a little bit we have pinch-to-zoom on the DNA very very responsive we came to love the DNA's responsiveness despite its heavy sense skin but the one kind of takes it to another level here I mean the scrolling speed has been slowed as slower so it's a little easier on your eyes but his responsiveness is right on par and bring back a notification shade they're just a ton of new features in the new version of sense that we really have to explore here but obviously the biggest change in sense in a very long time a very very significant shift not only for HTC but for possibly for smartphones in general we'll have to see going forward put up on the camera real quick the DNA incorporates a very standard 8 megapixel shooter the same one we saw on the HTC One X 1 XL whereas the new one incorporates what agency is calling ultra pixels which is dual dual four megapixel sensors doubled up to create what HTC is going their best camera experience ever and that's backed up by a whole lot of new software there which we're going to take a look at obviously you've got your filters here but the real story is HTC Zoe and the added settings built into this device so we're gonna check those out over on the other side of the room but this for now just a quick comparison for the Droid DNA and the new HTC One Michael Fisher with pocket now stay tuned for more you
