HTC One Unboxing & Overview

2013-04-18
what's up guys it's Lou from unbox therapy and I am very excited to finally have my hands on the HTC one I've been watching videos about it and learning about it everybody seems to be saying that it is the most beautiful most brilliant Android device available I'll be putting it through its paces and finding out for myself and I'll get to do it in the unbox therapy style that you guys love at least I hope you still love it if you do make sure to keep on hitting that thumbs up button down below that just lets me know that you love it anyways let's go ahead and look at the specs on the back of the box it is a 1.7 gigahertz quad-core processor Snapdragon 600 inside of this device you've got 32 gigabytes of storage 2 gigs of RAM 1080p full HD screen at 4.7 inches for an effective PPI of 468 that's incredible that's the highest resolution display you can get on a phone there are other 1080p phones but they're all 5 inches so the pixel density here is unbelievable you also get that new HTC ultra pixel camera with an F 2.0 lens and relatively wide for a phone camera as well at 28 millimeters you've also got Beats Audio built-in so presumably you've got a little bit better performance on the audio front but most importantly you have forward facing speakers unlike you know every phone in the world up until this point finally forward facing speakers now you may notice the unusual unboxing knife this thing is an absolute beast I will also link that down in the description as well so let's go ahead and jump inside the box and get a closer look at the HTC One and everything that is included in the retail package the first thing you're greeted with is the device I'll put that to the side for a moment get through the more mundane more boring accessories then we'll jump back to some beautiful visuals on the device shortly so the first extra you're going to notice inside the box is a set of headphones they aren't beats branded but they do seem to have Beats styling because there are red tips they are interchangeable so you can pick the most comfortable and suitable size for your personal ear canals you'll also notice an inline microphone making these convenient for answering phone calls like head set that's included with a smartphone these days so I do give them a few extra points at least for having slightly different styling they're not just straight-up white or black and they also have what looks like a tangle free cord it's got that ribbon style cord so presumably they won't get tangled quite as easily as standard headset might you've also got a USB cable micro USB to USB used for charging the device and that cable will plug into this USB power brick this is what you will plug into the wall when you need a little bit more juice you've got paperwork as well from HTC and a little tiny tool for inserting your micro SIM this is pretty standard especially on devices that are as thin as the HTC One so here's that paperwork that I mentioned earlier some warranty information etc and then lastly you have a couple of stickers from HTC so you can rep the brand on the bumper of your car on your laptop or anywhere else you might place a sticker so here's a closer look at the actual device the main attraction here the front identifies HTC blinkfeed boomsound and Zoe so those are some special features included and as we remove the last piece of packaging here you can start to appreciate the build quality the design and you can start to figure out what all the reviewers have been raving about this thing is absolutely beautiful the front is dominated by that large 4.7 inch 1080p screen the back is done in a beautiful aluminum which is curved and very very thin very nice to hold the camera is flush with the device unlike older HTC devices where the camera protruded a bit and on the front we have forward-facing speakers which is a big deal and has been covered in the ads for the HTC one but finally I mean jeez it's been a long time that we've been dealing with devices firing audio in all kinds of different directions down back up anywhere but at us which is kind of a strange thing and these are big speakers too and loud so HTC has really brought the heat with this device from a hardware design and engineering standpoint I will agree with everyone else that this is the most beautiful Android handset no forget about it the most beautiful handset available right now if you guys are interested in pricing and availability on device the link will be down below so you can go and check that out but as you can tell I'm a big fan so far I haven't used it for an extended period but the hardware is definitely on point one little mini drawback for me is that the power button / you know the lock button is on the top where I usually prefer it on the side of the device on the side here you have your volume rocker and on the front is where you'll see your light sensor as well as your forward-facing camera on each side of that top speaker the back also features an LED flash to go with that flush mounted camera as I said before and that is of course that very interesting ultra pixel camera which I will definitely be putting to the test shortly so taking a closer look at the interface you do have the new HTC Sense now you know you guys know I'm a huge fan of the stock Android experience I generally prefer that to a skinned experience but this one feels snappy as hell I mean you really don't notice that there's anything on top here I probably won't use the blink feed features though I don't know right now granted I just opened this thing up but as you guys can tell this has the potential to be a multimedia powerhouse with that 1080p screen with that fast processor with those wonderful forward-facing speakers I mean this thing is going to be really tough to beat and the new Galaxy s4 definitely has its work cut out for it going up against this wonderfully designed beautifully engineered and powerful 4.7 inch HTC One you guys could tell that I'm a fan I think you probably will be - you guys enjoyed this content please remember to leave a thumbs up down below subscribe if
