HTC One hands-on: design and hardware


The [HTC One](http://www.engadget.com/2013/02/19/htc-one-unveiled/) made quite an entrance in [London and New York](http://www.engadget.com/2013/02/19/htc-2013-liveblog/) today with a slick-looking design and re-imagined Android user experience. It's a significant departure from last year's [One X](http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/02/htc-one-x-review/) -- our favorite handset of 2012 -- and represents the company's most important product to date. The HTC One is positioned to become a true global flagship, a phone that's available unmolested on all carriers worldwide, a device that really competes with the [Galaxies](http://www.engadget.com/tag/Galaxy/) and [iPhones](http://www.engadget.com/tag/iPhone/) of the world. We spent some time with the HTC One to understand the direction the company is taking with this handset.
