The device was well received by the press and bloggers who covered the event and had the opportunity for hands-on time with it. The HTC One boasts of a full metal body (whoa), a slick new HTC Sense UI with a pretty cool features, their new UltraPixel camera technology, and top-of-the-line under the hood specifications.
