I know what you’re thinking. “What am I going to do with the 2 grand in my back pocket?” Well, you could get yourself one of these, a brand new HTC One plated in either Gold for £1895, Rose Gold for £1995 (don’t ask me the difference) or, …
Ok I’ll admit I got WAY over excited when I heard this and let my imagination get the better of me! Heads up displays, Jarvis voiceovers – maybe even a Stark industries phone – but no, sadly the truth is a little more down to earth. HTC have …

Remember the HTC M4? This looks to be arriving as the HTC One mini and, like the Galaxy S4 Mini, will be a slightly-less-good and slightly-smaller version of the bigger brother. Leaked shots have appeared today, complete with a serial number (doah!) and specs are reported to include …
We’ve already seen a lot of the HTC top brass leave the company, but now the Chief Operating Officer, Matthew Costello, has left too. He became COO in January 2011, so has only been in the position for two and a half years. There definitely seems to be …
Now and again a company gets it right when designing a phone. Like Apple did with the iPhone 4s, Nokia with the Lumia 800, Sony with the Xperia Z and now HTC with the One. When the HTC One arrived I knew that I wouldn’t be that shocked …

Everyone knew it was coming, and now Sundar Pichai has revealed the phone that everyone has been waiting for live on stage at the D11 conference. It’s the same amazing hardware that everyone has been raving about, minus Sense and plus some stock Android goodness. The model will …
If ever there was a business in need of an analyst it’s HTC right now. It seems that the one who’s taken on the role this time has a rather big gob and has leaked their plans for the next couple of quarters. She’s very positive though! Laura …
HTC just seem to suffer from one problem after another, some days I feel sorry for them. But this time it isn’t their fault something has gone wrong, it’s Google with their new overly complicated “Google Settings” app. The Google Settings app has a section about apps using …

The HTC One is a fantastic handset. It’s the best handset HTC have ever made in my opinion. I’ve always had a very high opinion of the company and especially of the people that work there, but let me tell you, something is very wrong. I’ll admit something. …
A video call isn’t, despite what Apple might tell you, that special. I remember my mate showing me a 3G video call on the Three network a decade ago so being able to see the person you’re calling isn’t a big deal. Well, unless you’re on top of …

OK, I’ll admit it. Sometimes I make mistakes. I fess up, it was me who caused the break-up between Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston. Oh wait.. no, sorry. The Samsung Galaxy S4 vs HTC One video I did the other day… that’s it. That’s where the mistake was. …
Let’s strap Facebook into a phone. That’s a winning idea. People will buy that. Everyone loves Facebook, don’t they? Sadly no, according to BGR the HTC First is actually about to be kicked out. LThe “Facebook Phone” is said to be an official flop in the USA. Prices …
The Galaxy S4 or the HTC One? Well, you’ll already have seen the Samsung Galaxy S4 review and our HTC One Review. So, with Mark busy comparing the camera quality and reviewing the S4, I’ve decided to take some shots comparing the phones close-up. You’ll see below that …
If you read the newspapers or watch BBC’s Watchdog programme then you’ll soon see news of the Samsung Galaxy S4 storage “issue”. Headlines scream that the S4 comes with around half the storage you expect due to pre-installed apps. First I wanted to check this and compare it …
I’m one of those people that always has to have a case on my phone. I usually go through several for each phone I have, as I like the change it brings, and most cases have a flaw of some kind or other. To go with my new …
So, you’re a child genius, trusted with the engineering systems of the universe’s most powerful starship. You can realign dilithium crystals and program holodeck worlds, but when it comes to rooting an HTC One you’re stumped. What do you do? Take to Google+ and moan about it, just …
