I\u2019ve had my HTC One for a good few months now \u2013 I got it immediately it went on sale<\/a>. I called it a \u201csuperphone\u201d then, and I really meant it. Unless HTC brings out something better, I can\u2019t see there being any need to upgrade for a long time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So it is great to hear that at the annual T3 Awards, the HTC One was voted gadget of the year<\/a>, smartphone of the year<\/a>, and was awarded the T3 Design Award<\/a>. It beat Apple in all of these.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you look at HTC\u2019s overview, the phone really does do all<\/strong> those things, and it looks exactly<\/strong> like that. For example, I have the Theory (TT) and Hazard Perception (HPT)<\/a> tests installed on it, and demonstrating to pupils how to do the HPT is extremely quick using the HTC One.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"HPT<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The video clips are pin-sharp, and at least one pupil has bought an HTC One after having seen it in action (many more have downloaded those apps in order to prepare for their TT appointment).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A great thing about the HTC is it\u2019s sound. It\u2019s hard to believe that such deep stereo sound is coming from something with such tiny speakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another thing I love about it \u2013 more of an Android feature than just HTC \u2013 is that it syncs to the Bluetooth system in my car so that you can send and receive texts via the car system.<\/strong> The car will also read the texts to you. You can also make calls from the phonebook via voice or car radio keypad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Obviously, you don\u2019t mess with any of this when you\u2019re driving).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The HTC One is genuinely a beautiful phone, and it is just the right size \u2013 too many phones are simply too big, and look stupid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s just hard to believe that HTC is in financial difficulties having produced so many superb phones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
