Motorola is doing some great things with Android on the new Droids and Moto X, but I still find Sense 5 on the HTC One better meets my needs and fills a vital role for my business Exchange use and media. However, the One is more pocketable and still feels better in the hand.

The Droid Maxx is also well constructed with a soft Kevlar back, excellent glass display that curves down at the edges into the sides, vivid AMOLED 720p display, whopping 3500 mAh battery, Qi wireless charging, and the ability to listen for your command at all times.Įven though the HTC One is an elegant piece of hardware, almost like jewelry, if I was just making a selection based on hardware I would go for the Droid Maxx because of the long battery life, wireless charging, and use of the AMOLED display for active notifications. Combined with the Roku app and WiFi I don't even have to worry about finding my remotes at home. The IR port is a great feature for travelers since you can now use your HTC One in hotels to control your viewing experience without using a nasty hotel remote control. The metal body with curved back, front facing stereo speakers, tight design with no creaks or movement, inclusion of an IR port right in the power button, a solid camera that takes excellent low light photos, and a gorgeous 1080p Super LCD display that is very viewable in sunlight make the HTC One tough to resist.

Nearly all reviewers have written about the fantastic design and build of the HTC One and I have yet to find another phone to match its hardware. However, after comparing the two handsets side-by-side - both hardware and software - my choice remains with the HTC One. Verizon customers can choose either device and be satisfied. I have now been using an for over five months, and I see that Verizon customers finally can pick up the device.
