Just came back from Bangkok to attend the first-ever Frequencies Asia which is presented by HTC. The event allowed us to interact with key people from HTC (the designers and engineers) as well as their partners (Qualcomm). In one of the sessions, the lead designer of the HTC One showed us the piece of aluminum slab used to laser-cut the unibody chassis of the handset. For the black variant of the HTC One, they had to anodize the surface to give it that chrome look (similar to the One S before). Only after seeing this design will you really appreciate the time and effort put into making the design of the HTC One. The only other smartphone manufacturer than has been able to do this on a massive scale is Apple (with the iPhone 5). After over two weeks of using the iPhone 3G, I can fairly say I have become familiar with this mobile device to share some insights on how it fares as a primary mobile phone. First let me say that Apple has revolutionized the way we use our mobile phones. Read more in our articles including "The HTC One before the build" and "iPhone 3G: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly".
