Bottom Line |
Don't let the 4-megapixels of resolution listed with the HTC One smartphone camera fool you. Using pixels on the unit's image sensor that are quite a bit larger in size than is average for a smartphone camera, the HTC One's camera is able to capture images at a quality that is a little bit above average versus other smartphone cameras. The HTC One is able to work fast in all tasks, including photography. This device's full HD display screen is sharp and bright, and the touchscreen is responsive. Don't expect this unit's camera to match what you'd find with an average point-n-shoot digital camera, but it performs adequately in most situations, especially in low light.
