Ultrapixel Camera Could Feature In Upcoming HTC Devices With Lower Specs

(GSM Insider) - Ultrapixel Camera Could Feature In Upcoming HTC Devices With Lower Specs

The Ultrapixel Camera from HTC isn't for the high end devices only as it is suitable for affordable devices as well, according to Phil Roberson of HTC UK and Ireland. 

He said that there is definitely potential to take the Ultrapixel Camera to lower spec devices. The quad-core devices are better for taking hi-res images and HD video recording. The dual-core devices are able to do the same as well but HTC needs to tweak the Ultrapixel Camera and other softwares before the technology is usable in low specs devices. 


Since HTC One is the only flagship from the Taiwanese company, you don't expect "second" high end device with Ultrapixel Camera coming in this year. But never rule out low specs devices with Ultrapixel Camera yet.

(GSM Insider) - HTC One vs Sony Xperia Z - Ultrapixel Or Exmor RS Better? Camera Comparison.

When the Sony Xperia Z was launched, Sony boasted about the ability of the Exmor RS camera inside the device. On the other hand, HTC One was launched with the first ever Ultrapixel camera. Actually which one better? Ultrapixel camera of the new HTC One or the Exmor RS camera of the waterproof Sony Xperia Z? See the image comparison at below.

Photo from Ultrapixel Camera of HTC One before zoom


Zoomed in photo from Ultrapixel Camera. 

From the first set of photos, the Ultrapixel Camera of HTC One successfully took the photo which is wider than the Exmor RS of Sony Xperia Z. On the other hand, after zooming in 100% of both photos, the photo taken by HTC One is clearly smaller than the Sony Xperia Z. This is because the Ultrapixel Camera has only 4-megapixels while Sony Xperia Z's camera has 13-megapixels. But the words on the poster still able to see from the photo of HTC One. [Extra reading: HTC One vs Sony Xperia Z - Specs comparison]

The second set of photos was taken under the direct sunlight at the Mobile World Congress 2013 event. It is  a difficult task for the camera as well as the cameraman in order to shoot a good photo. Basically, both photos from HTC One and Sony Xperia Z are equally good. But the photo of Sony Xperia Z is slightly better after zoomed-in. However, both images have the same sharpness from human raw eyes. [Extra reading: HTC One vs Nokia Lumia 920 - Camera comparison]

The third set of photos was taken under the high contrast situation. It is good to see how HTC One and Sony Xperia Z perform under the high contrast situation. After zooming in both images, the noise level of the photo from HTC One is higher than the Sony Xperia Z. Have a look at the column between two boards, the photo from HTC One has a slightly higher noise level as well. 

The fourth set of photos was taken from HTC One. Sorry, the fourth set wasn't about Sony Xperia Z. The photo from HTC One that isn't zoom just similar like the photos from other devices. After the Ultrapixel Camera zoom, the photo turned blur like everyone expected. But the Ultrapixel Camera of HTC One performs better than other smartphones in the market. The photo wasn't "so" blur after zooming in, agree? 

The comparison between the HTC One and Sony Xperia Z is just a guide for you to read on before purchase either one of these devices.

(GSM Insdier) - HTC One Scores More Than 25,000 Points At AnTuTu Benchmark Test.

The Asus Padfone 2 with Snapdragon S4 Pro scored around 24,000 points at the same AnTuTu Benchmark test. If the Snapdragon 600 is 40% faster than its predecessor Snapdragon S4 Pro, then the 25,000 points by HTC One is the highest yet.

HTC One vs Nokia Lumia 920 - Ultrapixel Camera And PureView Camera, But Which One Better?

(GSM Insider) - HTC One vs Nokia Lumia 920 - Ultrapixel Camera And PureView Camera, But Which One Better?

In a recent post, GSM Insider compared the specs between the new HTC One against Nokia Lumia 920 and Nokia Lumia 820. In this post, it's about the comparison between the Ultrapixel Camera and the PureView Camera. 

When HTC launched the new HTC One, the main attention was focused on the Ultrapixel Camera. This Ultrapixel Camera is said to be a breakthrough for the smartphone and its time to say goodbye to megapixel.  On the other hand, Nokia brought the PureView Camera from the Nokia 808 PureView and used it in the Nokia Lumia 920. Nokia described the PureView Camera is the best in the industry. Since HTC and Nokia said that their own camera is the best, you might want to know the comparison between the Ultrapixel Camera and PureView Camera. The answers at below:



Image / photo captured by PureView Camera of Nokia Lumia 920



Image / photo captured by Ultrapixel Camera of new HTC One


Image / photo captured by PureView Camera of Nokia Lumia 920



Image / photo captured by Ultrapixel Camera of new HTC One


Image / photo captured by PureView Camera of Nokia Lumia 920



Image / photo captured by Ultrapixel Camera of new HTC One

To remind you that the HTC One that captured these images above did not install with any software since it is not the final version. Only the HTC Zoe was running while the images being captured. On the other hand, the Nokia Lumia 920 is the consumer product. The PureView Camera with default settings being used for capturing the images above. 

From the first set of images / photos, the one that captured by Nokia Lumia 920 is definitely looking sharper and brighter than the HTC One. The PureView Camera offers richer details about the image while Ultrapixel Camera not really impressive. 

From the second set of images / photos, the one that captured by Ultrapixel Camera of HTC One looks a bit darker while the one captured by PureView of Nokia Lumia 920 looks sharper and rich in colors. 

From the third set of images / photos, the answer is clear and the PureView Camera of Nokia Lumia 920 defeats the Ultrapixel Camera of HTC One. The image captured by the PureView Camera looks more golden in color while the Ultrapixel Camera's image looks grey-ish and darker. 

Although the images above clearly showed that PureView Camera works greatly under the low light conditions. But more photo samples are require to proof the PureView Camera is the clear cut winner over the Ultrapixel Camera.

HTC One: Hands-on At HTC's MWC 2013 Booth

(GSM Insider) - HTC One: Hands-on At HTC's MWC 2013 Booth.

Although HTC doesn't announce new devices at the Mobile World Congress 2013, it does have a booth at the event in Barcelona. The HTC booth at the Mobile World Congress 2013 showcased the latest HTC One device.

HTC One is a true representative of the HTC One Series. HTC One features a 4.7-inch display with the 1080p FHD resolution. HTC One is another 1080p FHD device after the HTC Butterfly, HTC Droid DNA and HTC J Butterfly. With the 4.7-inch display, HTC One is a true smartphone which is different from the 5-inch phablet. The 468 pixels per inch of HTC One is higher than all the devices in the market to date. Most of the 1080p FHD devices in the market have 440 and 441 pixels per inch only. Good job HTC!

HTC One is powered by the Qualcomm's 1.7GHz Snapdragon 600 APQ8064T. It is the second device that powered by the Snapdragon 600 after the LG Optimus G Pro. The HTC One has 2GB of RAM. There will be two versions of HTC One, HTC One 32GB and HTC One 64GB. The main disadvantage about the HTC One is it doesn't support MicroSD expansion. You need to search for alternatives if the 32GB and 64GB are not enough for usage. HTC One and HTC One X+ also do not support MicroSD expansion too!

The HTC One running on the HTC Sense 5 that promised to be cleaner and more modern look. The HTC Sense 5 is based on the Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean. So the HTC One is on par with other leading devices in the market. 

HTC One packs with the breakthrough Ultrapixels camera. So you can say bye bye to the megapixels camera on smartphone. The HTC One features a 4-megapixels BSI sensor and f/2.0 lens, so the each pixel able to gather 300 percent more than the current crop of smartphone sensors. The HTC One also features the optical image stabilization and HTC's ImageChip 2 for HDR, 1080p and 60fps video. It's also introducing other new feature / service dubbed HTC Zoe, which allows users to capture and share short videos, much like Vine, via HTC's dedicated site.


The main body of HTC One is said to be made from the Zero Gap technology, so that you won't fee any moving parts on the HTC One. It is the first device to feature the Zero Gap technology. 

HTC One is heading to more than 80 countries start from March 2013. You can check out the full list ofglobal availability of HTC One from here
