amazon HTC One ME reviews

Design

HTC One ME style similar to the HTC One M9 Plus sample. Design elements such as the soft, curved backs, dual front speakers and fingerprint sensor monitors the bottom of the two machines are the same. One ME but there are a few differences than the elder form.

The most significant difference is the material used ME One combines metal (chassis) and polycarbonate (the back), While One M9 and M9 Plus metal body. One ME plastic backs of good quality, hand grip textured surface and the version we used in the review are white should not notice fingerprints phenomenon. Machine is available in two color choices are white and gray. Both color options differ only in color dorsal side, while the front contains copper gold color.

The metal edge machines combined with good quality plastic back side gives the form to the advanced, compared to the current price range. Design beveled slightly curved dorsal machine also helps get feeling comfortable holding, holding hands. The back plastic and metal frame held together tight, showed manufacturers carefully tended during the production stage.

Power button, volume and memory card slot tray posted to the right edge, and two SIM plug trays are arranged on the left side. Memory card slot and SIM tray is designed easy to open cover and manufacturers also add 2 Bundled SIM tray to replace in the box if you have lost. Power button with concentric circle pattern surface for easy positioning when pressed not to look at the phone. However, the journey of two key power button and the volume a bit shallow, sometimes had the feeling then that as yet click.

At the front, the highlights of One ME is the fingerprint sensor on the bottom and take a selfie UltraPixel 4MP camera above. Fingerprint sensor sensitive operation, quick fingerprint identification and can be used immediately even when the screen is off, but due to the concave design should sometimes see error press, request press again. The appearance of the fingerprint sensor design alters familiar BoomSound dual speakers, speaker slots below was cut into 2 parts located on either side of the fingerprint sensor. This makes the dual speakers are not symmetrical but looks sound quality of the speaker retains characteristics of BoomSound advantages: high volume, bass strong, interesting effects and stereo sound with depth.

At the back, the machine slightly convex clusters 20MP main camera with dual flash light two-tone and mic noise.

Overall, the HTC One ME almost fully inherited the design features on high-end smartphone from HTC. Machine with fingerprint sensor, dual speakers BoomSound, good plastic, metal frame and the back chamfered certainly impressive curved arms hug. However, the introduction of the basic navigation keys (Back, Home and multitasking) into the screen while maintaining light braids made only HTC logo on the front is optimized not good. Ratio screen / frontal area of ​​the product only 68.6%, slightly lower than the majority of smartphones today is over 70%.

Screen

A rare genuine smartphone yet 2K resolution as One ME. The screen size of 5.2 inches, use Super LCD3 panels (actually IPS panel LCD) with a very high pixel density, up to 565 PPI, bring sharpness and detail are very good.

In addition to high-resolution detail, the screen display quality good: renewable standard colors, good contrast and wide viewing angle. When looking at the sun, the screen reflects light phenomenon, a bit difficult to see if use of the sunny sky.

Software and performance

HTC One ME is preinstalled Android versions 5 and Sense 7 software of the HTC. HTC will not clear when the new Android version update for this product. What is different about the software in this product compared to current smartphones from HTC is preset amount slightly more applications. HTC’s recent smartphones with compact software, many applications use Google’s original alternative to HTC’s own applications should at a functional phenomenon to several preset applications (such as email, web browsing , the music …). However, One ME retain older software should have plenty of duplicate applications. Look at the size of pre-loaded applications that machines can occupy noticed this.

Memory of One ME 32GB, but only available 20GB for users and applications pre-installed systems account for nearly 12GB of memory. Meanwhile, the 32GB smartphone such as J7 Prime or Oppo F1s vacant more than 25GB. Hopefully HTC will soon new software update for the One ME more compact so that users have more available memory, can also improve performance slightly for the product.

Applications and other software features of One ME similar to the One M9 interface include the ability to change the theme, Home Sense manually adjust the applications on the home screen based on the location of the user (for example, when at home the machine will display an appropriate application and the company will have one of the other), do use a remote control for multiple devices in the home thanks to infrared reader on top of the appliance (TV, projector, first DVD, air conditioning, Blu-ray …), battery save mode and advanced control functions using gestures when the screen is off. Readers can refer to the One ME software review in detail the HTC One M9.

Performance, Mediatek MT6795 processor Cortex A53 eight Helio X10 2.2Ghz clock, PowerVR G6200 graphics core and 3GB RAM helps treatment plant needs common good on the phone. From opening and closing applications pre-installed on the machine to manipulate the interface are happening fast. However, the screen resolution is too high to 2K (2560 x 1440 pixels) is the burden of having to handle graphic intensive applications. Therefore, playing heavy games like Asphalt 8 or Modern Combat 5 on One ME still slight hiccups, especially when there are multiple fire effects. This is also the problem that the Galaxy J7 Prime, but hiccups lag when playing games on your phone more uncomfortable.

Camera

Part of the camera One ME are inherited intact the camera’s high-end machine HTC One M9 and One M9 Plus. Specifically, the back of the camera has a resolution of 20MP with an aperture of f / 2.2, 28mm focal length, camera and front camera’s 4K UltraPixel 4MP, to f / 2.0, 1/3-inch large sensor, the size of pixels great to 2μm.

The app is similar to the camera One M9 full manual mode and the ability to capture the exposure, shutter mode or delete fonts panoramic panorama.

Quality photos from the camera are similar before and after the One M9 we’ve evaluated. Photo taken in bright light with fine detail, sharp, wide range of brightness, contrast, white balance too pretty but natural warm tones that heavy gold renders images. When shooting in low light conditions, slow focusing speed, easy to lose focus and miss the moment to capture, referring yellow phenomenon still appears relatively Artifacts image.

One ME camera’s front UltraPixel 4MP good photo quality. Machine with fast focusing speed and shooting out crisp, detail, color balance in both low light conditions.

Battery life

HTC recent machines usually do not impress much about battery life and One ME is no exception. 2840 mAh battery capacity is not enough for a good amount of time the machine has to handle 2K resolution screen.

With results such batteries, users will probably have to skillfully during everyday use to ensure enough battery for all day or it is better to purchase extra batteries. About charging time, charging bulbs 5V / 1.5A comes fully charged battery can give ME One after about 2 hours and 10 minutes.

Conclude

Products are design features of HTC, perfect quality good, but the rim optimum grip is not good. It also sports a beautiful screen, high resolution display quality brings crisp, detailed, good quality dual speakers, considering the camera steady shooting machine the same price range, especially the front camera and take a selfie enough performance to meet the needs ordinary.

Biggest drawback is battery life low, the ability to meet complex games and software are not good old steam, heavy and takes up more storage memory. Anyway, the price reduction strategy to access high-end mid-range HTC has been applied quite successfully with products such as the HTC Butterfly 2, HTC One E9 and HTC One E8 … HTC One ME likely also will receive an enthusiastic reception from users. Hopefully HTC will soon new software update for the HTC One ME to improve the performance and availability of storage space and chances are the battery life.
