The S600 is no problem at all, it has a lot of performance. The camera is a small problem, but most of the time good enough for most people. I do however have to be very critical to the 4:3 resolution, i find 16:9 to waste too much space for photos uploaded to social media, and the resulting 3mp of the Ultracrap camera when set to 4:3 is really very low, as can be seen by comparing One to cheap 5mp phones as the Xperia U. So, not always good enough, no, definitely not flagship level when last year lower midrangers beat them in resolved detail.
Another problem is of course Sense, a true and trusted dealbreaker for many years.
HTCs favorite user obstacle for 2013 is there still, the two button config makes sure you cannot do things in an efficient way. One bright thing is they finally managed to move the powerbutton to the side, that was a severe problem with One, so bad that its strange HTC decided to not keep it on top, bad solutions has after all become their number one trademark.
Ridiculous fingerprint sensor implementation, almost as bad as Atrix, its like HTC found this in a textbook titled "How to NOT do things".
Anyway, it beats Z Ultra any day of the week, but that came as no surprise, the Ultra is super crappy.
HTC broke my heat......
The biggest phoblet war ever happen

Well S600 is not that bad, I got Note 3 a week ago, but if you want decent battery life you need to keep it in power saving mode and it is slower than S600 in that mode (not bad at all, but if one cares for the difference it is a fact). So, I'd say I'd gladly replace S800 with S600 for a better battery life.

Anonymous, 14 Oct 2013LOL by far one of the fastest review if not the fastest.I'm guessing cause of the holiday
Since the purchase of my Galaxy Note 3 clearly nothing else is even in the same ballpark. The Note products are proven products on a level unparalleled by any.
the headphones' volume level is the same powerful as htc one/one mini/8x/8s/butterfly ???????? i miss beats
LOL by far one of the fastest review if not the fastest.
Not sure how the device thickness (10.3mm) and weight (217g) wasn't mentioned as a main disadvantage?
No Snapdragon S800 for HTC because of shortages and because they are not any more top manufacturer.
Decent handset. Don't mind the poor camera and the s600 and 2gb ram is the kind of thing you wouldn't notice in everyday use.
I could see myself buying this and running stock android on it.
Very fast review, keep this good job up.
I have one suggestion for HTC.
Start manufacturing great IPS or Super LCDs for other OEMs, specially Sony. you'll earn more money than now.
P.S: I know that the pioneer of S-LCD is Sony itself and that HTC doesn't produce LCDs.
this post is just for laugh!
Read this in 6 minutes... Shorter time than any other review I've ever read of yours o_o
That is a very fast review.
