Disclosure

In just over three weeks from now, HTC will be unveiling the all new One in London. While images and screenshots of the handsets have already leaked, quite a bit about the handset is still unknown including how Sense 6.0 will look and how the dual-cameras at the back will benefit the user. 

Now, thanks a teenager who is probably going to be sued by HTC, we now have a 12-minute video review of the “All new HTC One”. While the original video has already been pulled, quite a lot of people have already uploaded mirror links on YouTube. Below is the full 12-minute review of the handset that will make you laugh your ass out as well:

    The video reveals quite a bit of information about the new One including the presence of a microSD card slot. While HTC has still retained the power button at the top, they have raised it so that it can be easily felt. The sides of the handsets also look razor thin in the video.

    The M8 is also slightly taller than the current-gen One to help include a slightly larger 5-inch screen.

    On the software side, we finally get our first look at Sense 6.0 which looks very similar to Sense 5.5 with only some minor tweaks and UI changes. The biggest change is to the Camera app that has been simplified and now only contains six modes — Normal, Zoe, Selfie, Pano360, Dual Shot and Video.

    Sadly, the camera unit on this unit was buggy so we still don’t know what the dual-cameras on the back of the handset are capable of. On the plus side, at least HTC still has a few surprises up its sleeve when it will actually reveal the handset on March 25th.
