Google is world's most innovative brand name as they do things differently. One such example is the news upcoming smartphones from Google, HTC one and Samsung Galaxy S4 with Google's pure android experience. They are pretty similar to the Google own Nexus series but with a difference that they are manufactured by HTC and Samsung respectively and sold by Google on its play store with stock android. Here we will discuss some good and bad points of one of these device, HTC One with Google experience.
As expected from this phone, major change is noticed in the user experience. There is no longer HTC Sense interface. All we get is simple, clean and elegant android interface which all Nexus devices get. Another change noticed is in the use of touch buttons. Double tap the home button on right opens the recent apps or multitasking window. While long touch opens up the Google now. Back button functionality is just the same. We will now miss some best features of HTC Sense 5 in this edition of phone like Blink Feed, ZOE camera feature. Camera just got very simpler as found in all Nexus devices.
