This is looking quite nice, most likely my next phone.

I received this phone yesterday and I have to say this phone is amazing. Runs really fast, looks fantastic and the sound of it is the best ive heard on a phone. Stereo speakers with built in amps. Love it.

Awesome! Looking completely perfect so far (minus it coming with Sense, but who cares). Just patiently awaiting it to arrive to Canada so I can pick one up myself. Upgrading from an S2x, so it'll be quite an upgrade in every category.

Im not sure if you know this. It has a IR blaster in it so you can control your TV with it

Can you run the Antutu, Vellamo and Quadrant benchmarks on it please!

I would love to know how well Snapdragon 600 runs on a released device.

Yup! Can't say I'll be using that feature too much, but it's nice to have features like that regardless... never know when it'll come in handy

Heres the benchmarks.

Rebel975 · 03-18-2013, 01:45 | posts: 1,133 | Location: Oregon

A quick search shows that it will be on AT&T, Sprint, and T-Mobile.

Rebel975 · 03-18-2013, 01:58 | posts: 1,133 | Location: Oregon

I'd get it on AT&T if my upgrade wasn't 9 months out. Maybe the "One 2" will be out/being talked about by then.

Looks nicer than the S4 to me.

The Snapdragon 600 is definitely a big improvement over the already reigning champion, the S4 Pro. Can't wait to see the Krait 400 and Adreno 330 (Snapdragon 800) .

It's not really complicated:

Top: Nexus 4 (Snapdragon S4 Pro (Krait 200+Adreno 320))
Middle: Galaxy S4 (Exynos 5 Octa (A15/A7 BIG.little+ 544MP3))
Bottom: HTC One (Snapdragon 600 (Krait 300+Adreno 320))

Though feel free to take my list and add the respective smartphones before each result.

By the way, can do one more test.

The heat from the Nexus 4 pisses me off to no end. Can you please do the following test to see if they fixed the heat issues in the Snapdragon 600.

-Download this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...rosensor&hl=en

Set tunein radio to some station at maximum volume on speaker (not over WiFi, over 3G/4G), activate a 3D GPS program (Waze, etc),), have Skype in the background and have the phone plugged in charging during all this.

Have this running for about 20 min at room temperature, after 20 min fire up AndroSensor and see what the temperatures are listed for the battery (as well as anything else).

On the Nexus 4, it reaches a blistering 50 degrees celsius doing this.

50C seems a bit hot for a cellphone.

Best I can do without testing every font.

That last popcorn eating image is the best one so far.

You think? Look what it say right below the damn temp.

Seems like they should be giving a warning that interrupts other operations.

Next insulting comment gets a ban.

why is this in the news forum ? , would it not have been better in the phone sub-forum ?

Indeed.

Anyway, beautiful phone. If nothing else interesting is released within the next few months I think this will be it for me.

Nice phone, but unless they unlock the bootloader without voiding the warranty I'm not interested

N0sferatU · 03-18-2013, 11:19 | posts: 1,409 | Location: United States

no removable battery

no microSD card

Only two capcitative buttons...

Gonna pass. Looks like S4 is where I'm going.

MicroSD card slot isn't required since it comes in the 64GB flavour as well as the 32GB.

Unsure on the battery specs but it's supposed to be better but this is completely irrelevant and you've ignored the feature design of the phone...

The One is made from a single aluminium block and therefore is the worlds first solid and metallic design thus your never going to be able to change the battery.

who said 64GB is all I wanted? Plus you pay a nice premium for that extra memory versus just buying an inexpensive SD card

I couldn't care less about what it's made off, my s4 will be sat in an otter box case. also, 64gb models of any phone are more expensive than let's say 16gb. I'm getting an s4 and will stick my 16gb memory card in it that has served me well for 3 years now.

John · 03-18-2013, 21:40 | posts: 16,379 | Location: Northern Norway

I agree that a removable battery and an SD card slot would be nice, but I suppose it just isn't possible with the current design where they pyramid stack components with the battery in the middle. Anyway, it doesn't really matter to me. My current HTC has both a removable battery and an SD card slot, but I still only use the 8GB card that came with it and I've not needed to replace the battery after 2 years of use. Over here you have 5 years warranty anyway, it doesn't matter if the battery dies.

People have different uses I suppose. I use Spotify to stream music on the go (seriously, this service is really good!), I don't need heaps of local storage.
