HTC One review
Editor's Choice
Yeah, but is it THE One?

Why you can trust TechRadar We spend hours testing every product or service we review, so you can be sure you’re buying the best. Find out more about how we test.

We don't usually do a separate page for a new colour variant of a phone - but we're willing to make an exception in this case for a couple of reasons.

1 - the HTC One is so popular among the smartphone enthusiasts that there are many hankering to see a colour update of any kind.

2. It looks really, really nice in red. Sorry, but it's true.

3. There are other colours too

So feast your eyes on the phone in a slightly different shade. If you don't want to, we'd suggest going straight for the verdict.
