Everything else look amateurish next to this review...
She raises some great concerns about the G2, regarding the following topics:
1. Screen color accuracy.
2. GPS accuracy.
3. Camera exposure.
After watching that entire piece (about an hour long) you become very aware just how many shortcomings this phone has... and it's still one of the best options we have now.

No, everything looks less OCD compared to that review. I have been following her channel for a while but she gets too technical now about things that 95% of people will either not care about or even notice. And she has been known to show a strong bias towards Samsung.
1. The last I checked there is not a single person doing graphic design on their phones or watching the majority of their movies or television on their phones. Who cares that much about color accuracy? As long as the screen pops and doesn't have any super noticeable problems then who really cares?
2. The GPS locks quick and takes me to where I need to go consistently. Who cares if it doesn't show me sitting on my couch and it's a little off?
3. It's a phone and it has been well documented that that this camera takes very respectable shots in most situations. Did I already say it's a phone?

her review is all kinds of wrong, she calls the g2 a midsize phone when its really a small phone, for example
Her rants about pixels and sub-pixels do get annoying.

she could have a faulty unit but I use my GPS a lot and if your driving somewhere, well its good for the phone to tell you that your on the highway when your on the highway and not on a small road. happens several time with my past phone which is very annoying
the night camera video recording is very...bad to say the least. thank god there is fix in the android developement section but it shouldnt be like this in 2013, I had the HTC G2 and it did that (14fps at night) reason why I switch to samsung.

I totally agree. She is way too OCD about things. Im subscribed to her channel and she definitely knows what shes talking about in general but for example, she said that the note 3 display is a let down. Its her opinion but I think the display is great. But she does a great job at going in depth of things.

in my opinion the best reviews come from either lisa from mobile tech review or pocket now(mainly michael fisher)
both present pros and cons straightforward with very little bias for any device/manufacturer
everyone else is either crazy or being paid for

I have been subscribed to her channel for awhile so personally im not saying it just from this video. She definitely knows what she is talking about and I guess she looks at everything with a microscopic eye so to speak. She might be bothered by the gamut or saturation or whatever the case may be about a disolay, I just look at it and if it looks good then its good to go.

Your not the only one but obviously part of the group..it bothers me that people feel the need to post comments on a thread just to.diss the name people call a phone..who cares..I call it whatever i want..u do the same..add something to the thread instead...I've seen a lot of these posts and i think It's juvenile..
anyways I don't really have any complaints..I believe we still haven't seen the true potential of the phone yet..people think the e3d isn't faster than the og but i think the difference will become more apparent in the future .
Define "problems". I've noticed some hardware issues (yellowed screens on three of them that I've seen so far). My friend who has the other one on my plan has the yellowing issue and his phone reboots at random, but the guys at the Sprint store will replace it no problem.
Aside from that, which is easily fixed by visiting the store, my only problems would be with Sense 3.0. It introduces some nice features but honestly, I just think the stock Android interface looks and feels better. That's just my opinion. I am waiting for a CM7 port or some other interesting custom ROMs.
P.S. Almost forgot, the camera gets kinda buggy in certain light settings. It is the auto white balance issue, makes some of your pictures look green. That seems to be a software issue though, so not a big deal. Someone making a custom ROM should be able to fix that. Or maybe HTC will quit dragging their bums and learn to code and test.
All in all I'd give it an 8/10.
this phone has a lot of bugs. camera is really bad, esp in low and high light. the screen becomes unresponsive in spots at times. apps force close a lot. the outside speaker is really low, even after adding volume+.
if the Photon was unlocked i'd trade my evo 3d in on it. for now i'm thinking about selling my 3d and going back to original evo.
oh yeah, signal on this phone is the pits as well.
It aight, its adequate until the next super phone comes out this winter.
I've had mine for a few days now. Keeps freezing where the only way to fix it is to pull out the battery. Has randomly reset on me a few times too.
Are these common problems? I might as well take it back and get a new one.

My biggest gripes with the EVO 3D are:
The 3D camera not allowing me to take photos while the phone is in portrait view. I can't say how many times in the past three days I've been trying to compose some interesting shot of a object in 3D, only to have the camera deny taking the shot simply because the gyro is telling it it's upright. <grrr>
Can't wake the phone up straight into the camera app by pressing the shutter button (or holding it for that matter).
Umm... that's about it. So far at least.

Because carbon is a naturally occurring element and we exhale it every breath, that's why. Just stop breathing and save the planet. Carbon dioxide, which is 100% required for all plant growth on this planet, has no business being classified as a pollutant. Environmental weenies are running amok. Carbon is the building block of life on earth, what they mean is carbon dioxide.

The danger they pose is on a totally different level from carbon dioxide. Be responsible, but don't lose all common sense. Also, name one person who is calling for increased amounts of CO2? We just shouldn't cut or nose off to spite or face because a few nuts want to live in the stone age.

Yeah, Jank. Any natural byproduct is a good thing. Let's all live in $#it then, it's natural, right?
I'm not an effing tree-hugger, but I see the the reason behind trying to lesson carbon emissions. Thinking we don't have the ability to impact the natural systems if this small planet more than any other lifeform is complete BS. We run this world, let's do so in a manner that will keep our world viable for us and our children into the future.
You think the climate hasn't changed since the beginning of the industrial revolution? Read some stats. Some of that change comes from us.
If our phones being carbon free caused them to be $800 I'd say you had a point. But why knock cleaner emissions when it doesn't negatively impact the Market?

Nice argument, yeah, I want to live in filth. Stick to coherent arguments and the topic. When did I say that all/any byproducts are great? Don't make stuff up to make yourself feel smart. What I don't want are people regulating everything on the planet because of whacky science they won't even get peer reviewed by experts who don't think like them, or share the methodology of their research. Bankrupting the coal industry and shutting down power plants because of regulation that is impossible to comply with is irresponsible. Again, there is no proof that "carbon", specifically CO2, is bad for the environment. I am not talking about anything else but this emission/byproduct. They specifically chose it because it is everywhere, and largely benign, and they gave themselves carte blanche power over our lives and behavior. It never ends, dude. I want a clean planet too but I'm not willing to regulate us out of existence because some fruit loops say so.
Oh, and by the way, the price increases are coming, brother. Don't worry about that one.

Honestly, papers indicating carbon's (CO2's) culpability in climate change not being peer-reviewed? Come on! But I guess we disagree on the fact that LG making this product carbon-neutral is a good thing. You think that's a bad thing or what? That's not even regulation. That's a choice LG made, and it likely helps in the free market.
And if we are going to regulate industry, like we should, I would rather we be overly conservative with it. Regulation isn't killing American production.

At first it does seem ridiculous that something we exhale and plants use would be a concern, but take into account how much land is destroyed by us. We constantly chop down forests to build new houses and expand communities. Then pair that with the ever-increasing population. Obviously this would have an effect on the CO2 levels. Perhaps not as much as environmentalists say, but an effect nonetheless.

It's called competition. The Note phones have proven there is a market for phablets. I'm going to guess you're not studying economics or business.

Then I guess this will blow your mind: http://t.co/91c3vTNA
I believe with LG's newfound success regarding the G, a direct attack on the Note would be fantastic, as well as possibly a new tablet. The G2 would fulfill the phablet competition that currently hardly exists. The LG Intuition is too wide, but a form factor like our G with the larger screen would be fantastic. Add a pen display, as well as having quickmemo, and the Note has real competition. Considering LG Displays is suing over the Note 10.1 in Asia, this may indeed be their plans in a nutshell. As HTC slowly falls (sad but apparently true), it's time for Samsung to have a true competitor in the Android market. I would love to see Motorola to come out of the blue, but that seems doubtful to happen. LG has an opening, and I think they should take it. I've been a Samsung fan, and still somewhat am (the siii disappointed me), but I think nothing makes products better like competition. The iphone is competition of course, but there needs to be android competition, or devices will get progressively worse.

... I'm not talking about tablets. If I was talking about screens in general, I would be complaining about laptops, desktops, and tv's as well. But I'm not. It's a personal opinion, and a personal opinion of a few others, that a phone doesn't exactly need a huge screen. To each his own if they prefer that size. Apple has a ridiculously tiny screen, so I'm not really sure why they were even brought up lol. Considering I'm a girl, I have naturally smaller hands and have no desire to hold a phone that I need to doublefist. And even some men agree, it's too much.
No reason to be so nasty, Butler. (;

Sorry, not trying to be nasty. Just trying to point out that just because you (and for that matter, I) have small hands doesn't mean that everyone does, or that there's only one size that the market wants (as Apple seems to believe). Everyone thought Sammy was crazy for putting the Note out there, but since it and its followup have been very successful, it's only natural that other OEMs want a piece of the action. I'd like the big screen (even if I did have to double fist it), but there's no way I'd be comfortable having that thing in my pocket, and I'll be damned if I'm wearing a holster for a phone.
I'll be honest, I can't reach the whole screen of the OG with one hand, but I don't care. I arrange my icons to be close to my thumb, and use two hands when I have to. :shrug:
Didn't mean to offend. :angel:

I'd rock a holster like a fanny pack. :B
Except not, haha. I guess I'm in luck with the whole small hands + long fingers thing (my grandma has always told me I have piano fingers). My only fears of extending my fingers is that it slips out of my hand and falls on the ground. I have a case, but I still use at least one hand to balance it. Can't get too ballsy with this phone.
No new smartphones from LG announced. The tease was a smart remote. Nothing more.

I'm thinking about it. What are your views?

The camera on the One seems a little less reliable (im getting more out of focus or slightly blurry shots) but people have said an update is coming that fixes it. The design of the One makes Samsung look like a bunch of amateurs. The screen is much better too. I'm not sure why, but no one ever mentions how poor amoled displays are out in sunlight. You can't even read them! But the One is nice and clear just like other IPS displays. Battery life is enough to make it through a day easily and I'm really liking the boomsound speakers.

I just wish it had the same battery life. I'm not complaining about HTC's battery life but it's just not as good as the Note 2 but understandably so.

I loved my Note 2, but this has been a welcomed change. For me, the Note 2 was just a little too big and I think that this is the sweet spot.
I can honestly say that I've never used a phone that is this close to the complete package. I don't think you will regret it if you switch, the HTC One is flat out superb.
Do you miss the screen size?

I'm still waiting for my One to be shipped, but I have used the demo at my work a few times and I can tell you that I won't miss the screen size at all. I will miss the deep AMOLED blacks when I'm browsing at night (as well as the battery efficiency), but I'm tired of people making a comment about how big my Note II is every time I need to check an email 4.7" is the perfect size for me.

I've said this in other posts - I "feel" like I am missing something, but I don't actually "see" anything missing. I came from Note and Note II so it takes some getting used to, but this is a slick phone, no doubt.

Personally, I'm glad to shed a little bit of screen size in favor of a more manageable, attractive device. The Note 2 is great, no doubt about it, but the HTC One is better. There's no other way to say it.
I like the screen on this device vs my note 2. Also the screen size for this is much more manageable to hold and use rather than the note 2. I miss using one hand. Lol
The only thing I miss is the battery. However I placed an order for a battery pack in case I need it.. lol

Oh and I prefer build quality rather than plastic. You can really feel the plastic after holding an HTC one. Bwahah

At first it was a little weird to adjust to screen size. But have had phone since this morning and not really missing extra screen. And phone fits beautifully in my hand unlike note 2. That's def a huge plus

battery life is very important thing，i hope it can last for tree days for one charge

i miss the screen size when i'm reading emails, text messaging or surfing the web. it's not to the point that i can't/won't adjust to a smaller screen. battery life so far has been in line with my expectations, meaning it's been enough to get me through my normal workday. i knew going into my "trial run" that the One could not compete on the battery front. yes, the One is easier to maneuver vs. the Note II but not so much that it would sway me away from the Note II. one thing is for sure, the One is one sexy a$$ kit that works well and has not let me down relative to the hype. my decision is which one will get used most often... right now, my Note II has temporarily replaced my laptop (UltraXPS) on flights to/from client sites and when attending meetings (which averages about 4-5 hours every day). the One is being used as my business phone. my plans now are to keep both devices.

This is exactly how I feel! I really, really love the Note II, and it's only been a couple of days with the One, but I definitely still "feel" like I'm missing something or leaving features behind. It's some combination of the removable battery, the screen size, the S-Pen (used infrequently, but cool when I do) and yes... a few of those gimmicky "kitchen sink" features Samsung throws in that are actually useful.
The One is clearly an awesome device, so I'm giving it time. This is a trial run for me as well, and I feel like I'm right back where I was last year with the One X+ vs. the Note II. It still boils down to a "beauty" vs "the beast" choice, and I'm not quite sure where I fall this year.

I liked it, next time since we all know you're "Blue Collar" you could call it "Blue Collar Review: HTC One" or w/e phone you do next.
That way you don't have to feel the need to tell everyone that you are. Other than that I think it was pretty good, no one starts out great, you'll get there!

Great idea. Should have thought of that.......thank you
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
I liked your opinions, they were helpful. The only critcism I would say is your camera angle and view. Maybe you should have a brief into looking at you, then after your intro flip your angle to the phone and show demo's of features of what you like on the phone itself. Typically when I watch reviews I want to see the product. Just waving it around didnt do it for me, but I liked your thoughts and opinions.
Good work man

I really like this review and I didn't mind that you added the bit about you being a blue collar worker and you wanted to look at the phone with a bit of that perspective. I thought that was a good addition to add. The only thing was a lot of "umm" here and there when you were trying to get a point across. I like that it had a more informal style and it sounded like it really came straight from what you were thinking there and not scripted and very formal. But becoming more confident and getting over the nervousness will really make it a lot better because when your nervous and using "umm" a lot, it makes it sound like you aren't too sure of yourself. I liked the video and subscribed because I think you got potential and I liked the style. Hopefully you'll do some more reviews of stuff and maybe even go over individual features you like about the One. Would be a good way to get more practice. Keep up the good work dude!

Heres a few tips.
You tried to give the viewer a diffrent real world perspective from your point of view.
1. You mention blue collar and im a welder etc.
Suggestion. How the htc one holds up well on the job. Beign a welder myself battery life etc etc is very important. And you can site more examples like importance of it in remote locations etc. Where my job takes me etc a Real world outdoor experiance with the htc one.
People dont need to hear/know blue collar etc. And office job etc.
What you can do is spin it in that sense. Not only like does it connect the user with a scenario but it highlights the devices strengths.
2. The method your speaking etc is just like the way you'd speak to a friend. You can use this style just need to refine it more.
Ill keep pondering and update.
