Here's what top reviewers have to say:

HTC One has top-notch hardware design and specs that are as good or better than anything else on the market today." - CNET's Brian Bennett praised the HTC One, "I can easily say the HTC One is the fastest, most beautiful phone I've ever used. It should be at or near the top of the consideration list for anyone looking for a phone on Sprint, T-Mobile, or AT&T..."
- Gizmodo's Brent Rose praised the the One's design, "The first time you see the One, there's a "Whoa..." moment. And after you hold it, and use it, that astonishment bleeds into awe. The One commands respect. From a hardware design perspective, this phone is unparalleled."
- Business Insider's Steve Kovach says the HTC One is, "the most beautiful
Android phone ever made." Kovach continues, "It's bigger and arguably more beautiful than the iPhone 5.

Epstein continues, "The HTC One is the closest thing we have ever seen to a no-compromise smartphone."
- Engadget's Brad Molen says, "ultimately, we're smitten with the One's design for all sorts of reasons: it's sexy, it feels secure in the hand and the combination of unibody aluminum and polycarbonate ensures the phone won't shatter into a million pieces if it were to hit the ground."
