The One with Sense enabled was already pretty much the snappiest
phone we've ever used. With stock Android, it's even faster. Apps open
just a little bit quicker and swiping around the UI is just a little bit
smoother. The biggest difference you'll notice, though, is that it's
just cleaner. Android 4.2.2 (Jelly Bean) is a very minimal OS. Apps like
the calendar, the clock, and even the apps drawer are more paired back
and easier to use. Desktop customization, for example, is much simpler.
You
still get the same great phone on the hardware side. From a design
standpoint it's still our favorite phone ever, and it's by far the most
satisfying to hold. The screen is incredibly sharp and looks just as
good as it did on the skinned version. The dual, front-facing speakers
still sound incredible (best sounding phone ever), and when you have
headphones in you have that same Beats by Dre EQ, which focuses on the
bass a little more and sounds very good (the HTC One has a dedicated
pre-amp to help with this). Unfortunately, it's not all good news.
The
worst news is that the camera doesn't work nearly as well anymore. You
might recall how the HTC One's ""ultrapixel"" sensor took the win in our
smartphone camera battle. Clearly, HTC's camera software had something
to do with balancing that rather unique sensor, because the stock
Android camera app doesn't do nearly as good of a job. Photos tend to be
washed out, over-exposed, and under-saturated. Even in low light, it
isn't as good. This is the biggest disappointment of the stock version,
and it should be something Google can correct with a software update,
it's just a matter of will it,Large collection of quality cleanersydney at

cleanly laid-out and easy to use, but you lose a lot of the advanced
shooting features found in the Sense camera app (though many of these
reappear in the editing menu in stock Android's Gallery app), in
addition to the specialty modes, though you do gain Google's
mega-panoramic PhotoSphere, which is fun but is ultimately a small
consolation.
Then there are other small things you took for
granted. In HTC Sense's dialer app, you can start punching a friend's
name into the number pad (using the superscript letters) and it will
quickly pull up contacts. The stock dialer doesn't do this, so you have
to scroll through your long list of contacts. HTC Sense offers built-in
profiles-an easy way to switch between Normal, Vibrate, and Silent
modes. Not so in stock. Also, the HTC One has a built in IR blaster for
using your phone as a remote control. Not only does the stock version
not come with a preinstalled app that lets you use it, but as of right
now there are no apps in the Play Store that can take advantage of it,
either. We were told that would be coming, but we don't know when (we've
reached out for more information).
There's also the rather
steep sticker price of $600. That's not crazy for an unlocked,
unsubsidized phone, but people who are used to paying $200 for a
high-end phone and have their wireless carrier take care of the rest (as
a part of a two-year contract, typically) may experience some
sticker-shock.
There is, of course, on major advantage to the
stock version we haven't mentioned yet: Updates. The stock version of
the HTC One will all but certainly be upgraded to the newest version of
Android right along with (or at least close to) the Nexus program. The
One with Sense, is still running Android version 4.An cleaningservicesydney is

The stock HTC One runs on AT&T, T-Mobile, and other GSM carriers (i.e. not Verizon or Sprint),An cleaningservicesydney is

NYC, and when we had four bars of LTE we averaged download speeds of
over 20Mbps and upload speeds of over 12Mbps. We did have some problems
with our radio, initially, but after talking with Google it appears that
was unique to our particular test unit. And once we worked out the bug
(it chose the wrong APN, for you geeks out there), it performed
flawlessly. So, really, our only major gripe here is the camera. We've
reached out to Google about it, and will update if we hear anything
back.
Samsung's TouchWiz is such a heavy skin that it slows
things down despite the super-fast 1.9GHz quad-core Snapdragon 600
processor in its belly. With the HTC One, stock Android made it kinda
faster. With the Galaxy S4, it's definitely noticeable. Scrolling
through menues and across screens is faster and smoother. Apps generally
open faster, and most importantly, there is now almost zero shutter lag
on the camera, whereas the TouchWiz version can lag behind by as much
as a second.

Stock Android is stark in its cleanly minimalism by comparison. The
stock apps look better and are more intuitive to use almost without
exception. Desktop customization is way simpler. We were also able to
install and use Google Wallet on it (not so on the HTC One), which
typically blocked by AT&T, we though.
On the hardware side,
thankfully, photos the 13MP camera look almost identical to those on the
TouchWiz version. Again, the camera app is much simplified, and though
you gain PhotoSphere and easier access to HDR, you lose a lot of the fun
camera modes that Samsung came up with, like Drama Shot (which
superimposes several images of a subject in motion into a single shot)
and animated GIFs. As you know, the Galaxy S4 features a micro SD card
slot, and while you can read files off of it (photos, etc.) you can't
take full advantage of it. For example, there is no native way to move
apps over to your SD card, as there is in the skinned versions of
Android.
There are, of course, things you lose that you will
miss. Again, TouchWiz's dialer lets you punch in numbers to get to your
contacts quickly, stock Android's dialer doesn't (please fix this,
guys!), and you lose TouchWiz's profiles feature as well. TouchWiz has
some handy shortcuts to settings within the notification screen and some
people may miss those, but for our money, the way stock Android handles
it is better, and keeps your notification panel looking cleaner and
easier to read.
