HTC 1 offers less to give you so much more

When we compared iPhone 4 with HTC EVO 4G we have marked for a couple of times that most owners of both smartphones and of the other as well might never get to the bottom of device’s functionality. Come to think of it, there are no more than, say, ten absolutely must-have features on both hardware and software sides and all the rest is never used. However, despite the fact that there aren’t too many commonly popular features, those that are commonly popular do require ûùüó serious hardware. I’ll give you an example: a thing as simple as browsing should preferably come with a big touchscreen and a fast processor. So the problem is that buying a cheaper smartphone what you end up is not tangibly limited functionality but poorer overall functionality. The problem that was solved by a young designer Andrew Kim and his HTC 1 concept.

HTC 1 only exists on digital images, but I think has a lot of promise. It basically couples all we want from a smartphone like full touchscreen, great camera, two speakers for better sound, aluminum body and so on all in the name of using it via a minimalistic and elegant UI which looks much like stripped down HTC Sense. Andrew Kim proposes full screen widgets, Android’s famous notification system because it’s great, I’m guessing its native browser as well, built-in messaging, and not much else. I do realize that HTC or Android or any other smartphone company might not give us any official comments on HTC 1 but I hope they are paying attention.
