HTC One Red Hands On

In order to provide variety, over the summer HTC announced two new colours for its HTC One flagship – the HTC One Vivid Blue and the HTC One Red. The Red HTC One is likely to be very popular as it features a stylish design with a metallic finish and deep red colour that reminds us of the red Nokia Lumia smartphones.

Aside from the colour makeover, the HTC One Red features the same internals as its HTC One sibling. The same 4.7 inch Full HD SLCD3 display is on board as is the outstanding dual frontal HTC BoomSound stereo speakers and the 2.1MP front facing camera. Under the hood there is a powerful 1.7GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 processor with 2GB RAM and 32GB internal storage.

The back features the 4MP Ultrapixel camera with Optical Image Stabilisation, Full HD 1080p video recording and the BeatsAudio branding. The HTC One Red features a unibody design with embedded 2,300 mAh battery that is not user accessible or replaceable. Just like the HTC One Vivid Blue, the HTC One Red comes with a Red and Black design that comes with the same Red metallic finish that we’ve seen on the HTC One Black and the HTC One Silver.

Of all the colour options available, the HTC One Red is by far my favourite. The metallic red design and colouring is deep and vibrant and stands out from the crowd. If you’re thinking of buying the HTC One, I’d recommend you check out the HTC One Red as it is beautiful to behold and use.
