So I went out today to my local T-Mobile store to check out the new HTC One, and as far as I’m concerned they ruined it. It’s now a gigantic slab, thanks to the 5-inch screen mania that’s mowed down everything in its path over the past year. They should have kept the old size, even if it meant the screen might be a mere 4.8 or 4.9 inches.
So it’s now off my radar, and I’m pretty much thinking I’ll go ahead and get a Google Nexus 5 instead. Ironically, it also has a 5-inch screen, but it’s nonetheless about the same size as the old HTC One. It’s nowhere near as good looking, but it seems to be pretty functional and pretty reasonably priced. Anyone have any reason to warn me away from it?
