They are two of the year's best phones, each with unique features and flaws. But which has the best camera for smartphone photographers? We take a closer look to find out.
Mini and Maxxi versions of the HTC One appear to be getting closer. We pointed to some rumors a while back to do with a pint-sized and larger version of the HTC One, but now things are getting a bit more serious.

The HTC Windows Phone 8X is HTC’s current Windows Phone 8 flagship device that, while doing nothing to slow HTC’s growing reputation for questionable names, has seen its fair share of popularity in the WP market. Sporting thoroughly modern hardware, the elegant WP8 UI and stylish case design make for a blending of power and visual appeal that’s rarely seen in the handset market. But looks and specs aren’t everything, so we grabbed one ourselves to check it out in our own Windows Phone 8X review.
HTC will be ditching its now familiar “Quietly Brilliant” tagline in favor of more aggressive marketing stance. According to the Wall St Journal, HTC Chief Marketing Officer Benjamin Ho has declared that the new marketing approach will be “bolder”. We can’t help feeling that the decision is, while entirely laudable, perhaps a smidge late. HTC may have been ‘quietly brilliant’ for years now, but its recent crowning achievement, the HTC One, deserved a lot more fanfare and hoopla upon its global unveiling than it received. Perhaps a louder approach to marketing would have been more effective a few weeks, or even a month or more ago, rather than after the biggest launch of HTC’s recent history.
The HTC One, the smartphone that is set to be HTC’s biggest and most important release in recent memory, is reportedly going to be delayed by a few weeks or possibly longer. While countless eagre fans worldwide will doubtless throw their hands up in frustration and ask ‘why’ to an uncaring and disinterested sky, HTC may actually have cause to worry here.
It’s a constant of the tech industry that no matter how many spec sheets, reviews and opinion pieces you read you’ll never really get a proper feel for a device until you hold it in your hands and use its key features. Fortunately for us, HTC held a belated HTC One launch in Sydney last night and we got to do just that.
The HTC One, formerly known as the HTC M7, has been officially unveiled at media events in the UK and New York. The powerful new flagship for HTC looks to be a real contender, offering up impressive hardware and some cool-sounding new features. Of course HTC has released great phones before, but has always seemed to be overshadowed by Samsung and Apple. This time round, if the HTC One makes good on its promises it just may find some of that market share that HTC so desperately wants.
While Samsung’s biggest competitor is certainly Apple, in the Android world HTC and Samsung seem to be the most evenly matched each year. While Samsung takes most of the popularity and profit with each new flagship, HTC still manages to release a great flagship device each and every year. So, what do the current rumours say about each company’s new and upcoming devices?
