[LIVE SOON] Discussion Of The HTC One Launch (Upvote For Visibility Please)

Discussion

The launch happens in 3 hours.

I created this post hoping that we could have a blow-by-blow discussion of the HTC One release as it happens. Maybe, we could make this a regular feature of this subreddit for phone/tablet launches.

What do you think r/androidusers? Does the HTC One have what it takes to make a dent?

Amazing industrial design once again though. Have said it before, saying it again: HTC makes some really, really sexy hardware.

What's with the branding though? Blink Feed, Boom Sound? Sounds childish.

I hope not, otherwise my Nexus 4 will feel inferior. :(

Haha! But that's how the tech world works. So I guess you're good.

The idea of going back to non-stock android makes me feel a bit nautious. So regardless of what HTC produces I think I will still be a happy chappy until the next Nexus launch.

It does have slightly newer qualcomm processor.

They seem to be trying to marry Android with Windows Phone with Blink Feed.

Is there some sort of youtube channel or verge live blog or something?

Edit: Verge Live Blog.

Thanks...I'm checking them both out and AP is great at some stuff, but The Verge still has the edge on these liveblogs. More pictures, more commentary, more quotes.

I bought my one x out of contract, so I still have my upgrade. I will have see the phone before I decide though.

Nvidia just announced the Tegra 4i today, upset it wasn't around for this round of phones. Also, why does the One have the snapdragon 600 rather than the 800?

No devices with the Snapdragon 800 have been announced yet, Qualcomm said it wouldn't be available until Q2 2013 at least. As it is, this will be the first device available with the Snapdragon 600.

While this initially made sense, I'm still under the impression 800 was for "super" phones and the 600 was for "smart" phones. Am I wrong? Because I'm thinking I might be.

The only problem I can see is that the battery is small, but who knows how that will translate into battery life. Oh and it's not on Verizon which makes me personally sad, but hopefully it will eventually show up on Verizon. I hope this launch event live discussion stays as a regular thing! It sucks that I missed this one.
