I don't mind the power/lock button being on top, in some ways I kind of prefer it, although for devices around the GS 3, one X etc. size, it should be on the right side near the top.

The CEO did say that they were going to cut down the amount of models that they release not too long ago when the butterfly was released iirc, however, he said this before the one series launched yet they did the exact same but even worse :rolleyes:
 
Added functionality with OEM differentiation is awesome!

Half assed mods, services, support, spyware and bloat you can't disable or remove? Not cool man, not cool :p
 
Not a fan of the casing - that brown looks is soo dated - as is the Sense notification bar.

HTC need an sleek design like the Xperia Z - Look nice clean and modern.
 
Doesn't excite me at all, but hopefully they'll have more to show come MWC. Power button should be on the side with these big phones IMO like Samsung and LG do.
 
Looking forward to this as I love the One X but HTC are taking the wrong turn, locked bootloader, taking down sites that host RUUs. I can see in the future dev support will go down if they carry on like this.

We don't have the butterfly here in the UK.

Power button on top is sensible.

Ive heard there will be an international version at some point. And I meant more globally, everyone knows Samsung makes Galaxy phones, its very clear. But with HTC its a brand new name everyday which is getting a bit stupid. Samsung makes a load of phones but they always have 1/2 flagships and everyone knows that, HTC have loads. The HTC butterfly/Driod DNA will be a flagship, along with this new M7, then they will have their normal 6 month upgrade on these flagships.

They make the best hardware I must say although this looks a bit boring but it just everything else is such a mess. And power buttons at the top for large phones are just a hassle.

Just really want them to have a much more focused approach and do things right, so I can own a HTC phone again :P.
 
meh dna was "wow 1080p etc etc" but then htc lost their chance to be the "first" and show something new to uk and now they will be late to the game(Who is responsible for this i have no IDEA but damn smash your head into a wall really hard)
 
Oh boy! Hope this is true :cool:

HTC M7 rumored to carry 4.3-'ultrapixel' camera

Also:

HTC promises 'new sound and camera experience in 2013'

Considering how good the audio and camera is on the current one series phones, the M7 etc. could be absolutely superb if all of this is true and works out in the end.



I wonder what htc will get wrong though :p :o Battery life seems to be very good on the DNA, butterfly etc. despite the battery being quite small for a phone of its specs so it can't be that (and plus a lot of places are saying that the M7 will have a 2300mAh battery), only thing left is the storage :p

EDIT:

and!

In other M7 news, the device has appeared in inventory systems over at Carphone Warehouse in the UK, and Vodafone in Germany. The two separate leaks seem to confirm that the M7 will initially ship in black and silver versions.

I picked up a Droid DNA got it for a decent price and its a lovely phone, the screen as you would imagine is fantastic but don't expect to notice a huge difference in the home screens over the 720p ones, don't get me wrong you can see it but its not popping out at you, out door brightness is superb.

I notice the difference on browsing the internet the most with super sharp text no matter how small you go with it, if you get a high quality wallpaper and set it I notice it there also, the camera and video side they have improved over the One X with some tweaking its smooth now when you record video and the camera was great anyway on the One X.

I did have a Lumia 920 just for the camera but once that had worn off I was stuck with a limited phone for me, it shows no matter how good a camera is the novelty wears off soon , it does for me anyway.

The One X audio is poo, but as this is an S4 phone it should be very good.

It was poor on ICS, but improved vastly with jellybean, sense v4+, taken from gsmarena for the one x+:

Excellently clean audio output
One of our greatest disappointments when reviewing the HTC One X was its audio output. The One X+ predecessor had high distortion levels and a general performance that didn't suit a flagship device. Luckily, HTC has managed to solve whatever issues it had this time and the One X+ really managed to ace our test.
The new HTC top dog delivered some of the cleanest audio output we have seen both with an active external equalizer and with headphones. There are no weak points to its performance whatsoever and if its volume levels weren't only average we'd be recommending it to every audiophile out there.
Don't get us wrong - the One X+ is still a great choice for anyone who finds audio quality important - it's just that it's not alone at the top.

But yeah being s4 powered, it should be better!


Don't they always do just that kona :p :D I personally find their phones to be the nicest by a lot, wasn't fussed on the desire HD and sensation design though, unfortunately they are the only company left where their devices have a unique design (EDIT: including Sony), everyone else just copies apple and Samsung design now :(



Nice one jabbs! How you finding battery life? Surprised that you are buying all these latest phones due to the size of them :p

Surprisingly its not as big in the hand as you would think, that's the trouble now really if you want a top end phone you have to put up with the size I have come to live with it now.

Battery life is no worse than many phones I have used but I charge any phone at nights no matter, mine has a custom rom on it now so battery life is better, nice phone though the DNA if you can put up with the storage which doesn't bother me.

On another note call quality on this is by far the best I have had on any phone so impressed.
