HTC One M7 specs and price

HTC One M7 is the newest android phone available here in the Philippines. This smartphone features a 4G network. Powered by a Quad-core krait processor clocking at 1.7 GHz this phone is a good contender against Samsung Galaxy S4.

HTC One M7 has Five unique features,

BlinkFeed

A new experience offered by HTC by bringing new look of the Android stock UI. The feature comes with the latest version of the HTC Sense 5 UI, and BlinkFeed is quite similar to the Windows Live Tiles concept. The feature generates feeds on the BlinkFeed home screen, containing news and social media updates with customisation to filter which feeds what you want to receive. A possible drawback is the extra consumption of the battery.

HTC Boom Sound

The feature demonstrates a whole new experience with music playing via speakers. HTC M7 has two built-in speakers with amplifiers, and the feature enhances the volume without destroying the clarity of the audio. Its Boom Sound is best for watching a movie, playing games, voice navigation and sound trip.

HTC Zoe

HTC M7 has 4MP camera technically but the device uses an Ultrapixel camera and can capture 300 per cent more light than other 13MP cameras in the market. The HTC Zoe makes the camera more useful and more creative in a lot of ways. Using the Zoe feature in the camera app, you can take shots of images with 3 seconds time and can combine them with other Zoe images. The result enhances those boring photos into a live motion picture.

HTC Sense TV and Sense Voice

HTC M7 has an infrared port which allows the device to select TV channels, set-top boxes, access program guides, and more. Moreover, Sense TV is integrated with social media links, YouTube video links, and other similar URLs and then searches any similar shows or programs with their schedule listed as well.

HTC Sense Voice uses the built-in dual microphones to detect loud ambient noise and then dynamically boost the in-call voice to compensate. It generates a clear audio capture even under the noise of a large crowd.

Premium Parts and Aluminum Body

The new HTC M7 is covered with full aluminum metal body and zero gap built to give a sophisticated look. HTC fixed the problem of antenna's weakness under a Full Metal Body. The device has two plastic strips placed at the back of the device to keep the Wi-Fi, NFC, and Bluetooth working properly without any interruption.
