Despite the abundant fanfare and critical acclaim, [HTC's](http://www.engadget.com/tag/htc/) [One X](http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/02/htc-one-x-review/) just couldn't quite mark the spot in 2012. No wonder, then, that the company's lopped off that extraneous letter in favor of a fresher start and renewed brand focus for its latest flagship: the [One](http://www.engadget.com/tag/htcone/).

Gone by the wayside are those pure polycarbonate hulls -- HTC's [Sense 5](http://www.engadget.com/2013/01/22/leaked-htc-sense-5-screenshots/)-laden Android Jelly Bean (4.1.2) handset comes crafted with an all-around premium look and feel, housing its 4.7-inch 1080p Super LCD 3 display (boasting 468 dpi and protected by Gorilla Glass 2) in a machined aluminum unibody. And, in a bid for the top spot on the mobile totem pole, the One also bears the distinction of being ([one of](http://www.engadget.com/2013/02/17/lg-optimus-g-pro-specs-na-launch-q2/)) the first smartphones to feature Qualcomm's quad-core [Snapdragon 600](http://www.engadget.com/2013/01/07/qualcomm-snapdragon-800-and-600-chips/), clocked here at 1.7GHz and paired with 2GB RAM.
