Hello, I wanted to start discussion as I was wondering about a big problem in iPhone 5 (maybe One also).
So, as it seems silver is the "original" aluminum color. And the black is "anodized" - anodized could be great thing - until they fall on the ground.
In the case of black iPhone 5, it falls and shows original aluminum under anodized one. It is not a problem to users which change phones constantly. But I want to have the One for a longer time. And I really like the black
Nokia I think anodize aluminum deeply, and that's not an issue, but One?
Guess we'll have to wait to see some drop tests...
And please do not comment like "get the silver then" or "go buy the case"
See the black iPhone 5 damage (minimal thanks to aluminum, but shows original metal) - If damage is bigger it will be seen easier and be ugly...

from previous HTC devices like the Desire HD, Sensation, One V, HTC anodizes deeply, very deep in fact in case of Desire HD
however with one exception their black One S had a different micro oxidized finished which wasn't nearly as great
if you're not clumsy and takes care of your devices well, then get a black. otherwise get a silver to be safe.
on a scale of 1 to 10, i rate myself 9 out of 10 in taking care of all my gadgets. i can definitely say im safe with a black one.
I dropped my Xperia once in 10 months (edge damaged but not easily seen) - And if it was iPhone 5 it would be really ugly :\
But you see above iPhone is scratched and shows original metal, keys and phone in same pocket example :\
Someone found some black drop test?
well they failed with black anodization (micro arc) on the HTC one S, I own one, beautiful device, but don't look at the sharp edges, and especially around the USB connector, it got some unwanted silver accents. I always carry it in an original HTC slip Pouch, never dropped the bare phone.
The One S black is not anodized, its micro arc oxidized and hence the problem
a better example would be all their other phones and if you want black, its best to look for the black One V as reference
And One S was never intended to be expensive fpagship
There are conflicting reports about this.
To quote The Inquirer: http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/review/2254085/htc-one-review
Unlike the iPhone, the HTC One's aluminium casing feels like it's not quite as prone to scratches - and after throwing it in our bag that contained keys and pens, the One came out completely unscathed.

But I remember one more review of the black device where the reviewer showed chipped edges like the iphone5 pic above.
I think with some basic precaution it can maintain the finish. I am myself getting the black one. It just looks out of the world.
Anyone remember the Xperia X1, that was made by HTC - That fell in bits & the paint flaked like mad on the black version, which I had.

The first google phone aka Nexus 1 was totally made by HTC in a way that Sense was easily ported from Desire,so you can say that it was a HTC Desire rebranded for Google

Thanks, that was quite a positive review (again). I was planning to get a black one and have changed my mind about a dozen times, they both look so good, but the black color scratching off was never a concern for me. I have some anodized aluminum flashlights which I keep one of in my pocket with keys all the time. That's because I won't put my phone in the same pocket as my keys, and still won't. Even so, the flashlights don't have any scratches that go through the finish.
Eagerly awaiting the US release...

Strange that the "new" redesigned case has date of manufacture -> 08w39 and the "old" cracked one is -> 08w44... Could it be that they knew it all the time that these cracks will be happening, but instead of mass recall the "cracky" cases they sold all of that saying "What will be will be...."

Thats because it is a sticker on the phone. Not the case.
somehow i dont think its the redesign issue, something else thats unknown must be the problem, my xperia date is 09W08 with the same design as the second pic, still no cracks...
Uh... where's the difference in the design? Can't really tell.
Had a crack in the same place, and now also have the "new" redesign case replacement.

No sharp corner in the new design. The first thing you learn to not have when you study design. Everyone learns that except the tossers at SE

yeah bro SE has the worst designs...
Does somebody have the old design on pic without the crack so it will be easier to see?
Edit: Fixed it. Nobody can miss the difference now.
if you look closely you can see the difference. the corner where the crack starts is different from the one without the crack. the corner is filleted (ie. rounded) where as the corner with the crack is pointed.
i was gonna wait before i send my x1 to get the housing replaced. i didn't see why people would send the phone in for repairs when SE haven't even come up with a redesigned housing yet and just end up getting cracks all over again. but now, it seems like a good time to do so. btw, i've counted a total of 8 cracks on my x1.

Good choice. This was my second time I had it on service for a cracked case and if you put it all togehter (had it on service three times) I have had my phone on service for 63 days. That's 2 months on a phone that isn't a year old yet.
time to repair
I have the problem where my phone won't charge unless it's turned off.
But now I also have the cracked case problem.... So I think it is time to repair.
I really love the phone... but at that price, I expect better quality. I just hope they don't keep it too long.

I have dropped mine more than 10 times. 3 of them hard falls. Not a crack or a scratch on it. I use it all the time, in my pocket, on the desk, in my hand, etc.
Especially compared to the beauty of the HTC Desire.
It's the software that is so amazing...

By the way, the front looks hot as hell however. It's just that discolored back that's turning me off.
EDIT: Fixed links
sorry, plz update the pics, we see some TW logo and not pics...
I really like the look of the back.
Also it looks like the DHD is slightly thinner than the Desire!
The Desire has that same gordy brown colour, i think earlier versions was titanium blue, like in solopalmari's early video, the early video also has a noise cancelling mic;(
Starting to like the look of the Zee better
JD
You thinking about changing your mind JD ?
Well it's personal taste really isn't it, I don't really like the look of the Desire, but I love the front of the Desire HD, the back I don't really like or dislike.
Personally I thought the Desire was quite the ugly phone and that the Desire HD is the improvement. Neither are as appealing to me personally as the HD2 aesthetically though.

I was, and then i just think of all the extra power it has, and relent mate)) Hopefully we should get it by the end of next week)) I had the same problem choosing between the desire and the legend, then in the end always opt for power)) z is a nice phone though, dont you think?
JD
I like the design very very much.
My only concern is about the non aluminium part and how they fit with the aluminium parts.
I'm a bit OCD in that I like symmetry - so the front of the Desire annoys me somewhat, so I am pleased that the HD is symmetrical! I can forgive the back as I wont be looking at it so much

Couldn't agree more.
Both Desire and DHD are ugly as hell in my opinion, especially compared to HD2 - if only I could get a stable build of Android running on my HD2 - black screens happen more and more often the older any build becomes on mine
I have fell in love with Android since using it on my HD2 which has desired (no pun intended) me to get the DHD - the screen is the only thing putting me off!

While I can understand peoples views on the aesthetics of the DHD, surely most of you will not see the back while you are using the phone.
A large percentage will put the phone in a case or gel glove so will not see the colour of the back.
The DHD's aluminum case is a lot stronger than the Desire which is cheap bendable plastic and easier to damage.
The DHD phones hardware and software is better and the screen is larger, and, I have heard rumours, you can make phone calls on it.
I think it looks fantastic actually. Only issue I have is the plastic bits not being flush with the aluminum body, they look a bit off in some video's. Besides that I think it all looks pretty sleek and hopefully that issue is just a pre-release thing.
The black version looks way better than the brown imo. Thats what i didnt like about the deisre, that damn brown color was fugly.
http://img839.imageshack.us/img839/6311/desirehdcolors.jpg
I don't like the brown, but I do prefer the front of the DHD over the look of the Desire.
I'm not sure if I'll prefer the look of the brown DHD over my black Desire. I guess I'll find out when it arrives.
I prefer the brown version in the picture above ^^
I love the DHD looks! I have yet to see it in the shops though !

so heres the story. it was on my kitchen table. my cat jumped up on the kitten table. the phone fell OFF the kitchen table. it landed on my wood flooring, and BAYYM. shattered like a christmas orniment. i can say the screen is fragile.. very different from my Galaxy S phones, which have been dropped numerous times, landed on concrete, and have dropped inside of a machine at work (lol). guess this is why samsung desides to make those "cheap feeling" light weight builds..
sigh. already ordered a replacement screen here ;The HTX One X

Not sure what your implying......you dropped the phone, got unlucky and the screen cracked. It's more the design of the one x than the materials. The screen is similar to the lumia where the edges are curved but exposed.
Samsung and one x both use polycarbonate. If you dropped it on the back, Im pretty sure neither would suffer any blows. One x just has a matte coating and is unibody.
And the one x weighs less than the Sgs3 I believe by a few grams nothing noticeable. So not sure how you can imply light materials.

As much people think plastic is cheap, they use this type of plastic for a reason.
I really think Samsung knows what they are doing. Consumers don't know half of the reasons why parts are chosen. The material scientist make their chose for a reason. They do test like these.

Tell me, drop a phone and it's not probability and chance the screen will crack. Surely if we go by the OP's statement. HTC using the same polycarbonate material implies Samsung's are just as easily to crack their screen. Is it not? Why don't you use your brain for once, instead of going around calling me a troll when I've probably owned more Samsung phones then you, clearly been around the Samsung forums and development more than you and a member longer than you.
It's HTC's design, when I had a galaxy nexus it was the first thing I said in the One X vs. Galaxy Nexus thread. The screen design is similar to the Nokia Lumia, where the edges are curved but they are exposed, if it falls and hits the edge in any way, it has a higher probability of cracking.
It's purely design, not Samsung choosing to use Polycarbonate when HTC is using Polycarbonate on the One X also.
Think and read before you speak please. Learn to spell also.
First of all I'M GETTING THE GS3, but this thread is ridiculous. The materials on the two phones are the same. Both phones use polycarbonate ( The GS3 is shinny and the ONE X is matte ) and Gorilla Glass 2. You were unlucky and this could happen to any phone if it landed the wrong way. XDA is getting worse every day! It seems like many iFans decided to try Android cause this brand loyalty in these forums is getting ridiculous! Why people can't accept that someone might like a phone which is not the same as their choice. The ONE X is a great phone too. We should be happy that the best phones in the market right now are Android phones. I miss the days when XDA was all about development and community spirit!

There's a lot of people that usually complain about why stuff looks the way they do or why couldn't the engineers put this and this in there.
What the chart shows is an example of a test dozens of engineers put together. We usually use programs and run experiments in all kinds of conditions to determine which materials are the best to use at the right price and will last the longest, etc and etc.
Just know even though the SGS3 uses a plastic case, it doesn't mean they didn't go through multiple materials and a selection process to make the case that they did. Sometimes the materials are chosen because they are recyclable and bio degradable etc...
Sometimes people need to realize that what they want isn't what they really need or want that's all.

Look at the button layout. It's exactly the same as the 4S. Hold button followed by 2 circles.
Look at the screen size, exactly the same as 4S, even I don't think they'd go miniature again when most phones at +/- 4.2"
Earpiece - exactly the same
Camera & LED flash - exactly the same position
Fruit logo and phone info on back - exactly the same position (if you've ever used an iphone)
The rear glass (and front glass if you're feeling brave) can be changed relatively easily, many friends have done it with different colours etc - this is just another different back for the phone.
Should I go on....

Anyone with some basic electronics knowledge can replace parts, which if not made by a very dedicated person, could probably be readily available from shady 3rd party retailers.

Omg. That is but ugly. I would not have bought an S3 if it looked like that. To me the S3 is pure beauty. Compared it to the One X in the shop today and IMHO it **** all over it. I also own a 4S and it looks so 2 years ago.

I an't saying it should look like that...just that Samsung has to dare with their design....
Do you see the Black matte finish...a treat!!!

Let's just agree that you don't get the point...
Me, not like you, I'am so affirmative...But if it happens to be the real design, it will be extraordinary well made..That's it.
They were able to design something refreshning with 75% of the old design...
That what is called ' le touché'

If you look at the history of fruit phones, they change the designed every 2 phones (ignore 2G)..
Trust me... This time, I'm right. If it's not a modded 4S (Which it most likely is), then it's some Chinese knock-off.
If that's you called new iphone5, I say is ****. Same old designed just like its UI. No thank you.

That's not a 4s you dip****. You just came off as the most arrogant douch on this site, and to top it off you're wrong.
Dear everyone,
Why u so dumb?
http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/12/06/13/leaked_photos_of_possible_assembled_next_gen_iphone_emerge___rumor.html
A set of rendered photos depict a what fully-assembled version of Apple's 2012 iPhone may look like, based on previously leaked components [updated].
The renders, which were published by Chinese site iPhone中文网 (Google Translation, via MacOtakara), are based on rumors that have suggested the next iPhone will have a smaller dock, larger speakers and a metal back. While the original report was duped by the pictures, they originally stem from a Flickr user, who explained they were modeled in Rhinoceros 3D and are an authentic looking forgery.

Closed, this is both off topic to the SGS3, it's also flamebait bait and the rumor mill working overtime.
Nothing to see here, carry on.

Dang you beat me!
Friends, Will be updating this thread with drop and shock tests of the HTC ONE.
Here is one of the good ones I found, and if you come across more, please do mention them and I will add them into the OP for sure
damn that bloody glued speaker cover
most stupid idea ever
at least provide a way to clip it back in!
the One X in this test would have only lost its screen...
but yea this video confirms the back cover + frame are unibody....
they dented together bent together and never seperated
Oh man, I can see that speaker grille getting super annoying in future carelessness. Not looking forward to that!

here we can see the unibody back + plastic frame, they sustained the damage together and only in the extreme point of impact do we see slight seperation
the ground it fell on is really rough
still the front glued covers are absurdly stupid!
MAD at Speaker Covers
My One X and Desire HD surived very simliar falls without ever a flying part, not even the Desire HD plastic patches did ever fly (they snap in and not glued)!
but when i saw Jonas phone i was really worried this would happen and yup it does!
stupid glues should be banned from phone assmebly!
Is there a blog that would do the drop tests in at least a little bit scientific way? Because you can drop a phone 10 times on its back and nothing will happen but you need just one drop on the face to shatter the screen...
Screen looked fine but the dents were pretty bad.
At least on first drop the screen never cracked like the iPhone.
Deffo getting a cover! lol
nothing wrong with breaking or dents the ground its falling on is really rough
the one and only problem is the flying speaker covers
ERE! One thing I can't get my head around is how Nokia managed to construct the Lumia 920 to somehow withstand being launched about 20 meters through the air without breaking (and yes I know it's more of a lump) but how has no other manufacturer managed to emulate such tank like design?? Surely it can't simply be packing I mean the weight difference between the 920 (185g) and the One (143g) is really not that great a difference.....it's about the same as one of those little boxes of raisins.....And I can't see that being a defining difference between being damaged from hip height to being damaged from a throw.....Anyone think of how/why this is?

Nothing that a drop of superglue won't fix, so it's bad but not critically bad I'd say.

I assume you're looking for how many times a phone will land on its face out of the number of times dropped? A scientific test would require repetition, which I don't think any blog has the resources to do. Plus, when it comes down to it, you can't control how you drop your phone. I think it's enough to know that a full-on frontal drop will result in a cracked screen.
Soooo my concern is this.
Do you think even if we don't drop, this adhesive can go off in time? I mean can it fall by itself in time?

the One X and Desire HD are tank like as well, in case of the One X there are no covers, its full unibody as well, screen protected by metal frame
Note to self: Do not drop it. EVER.
These pics and videos of the damaged One are breaking my heart

Oh yes no doubting that the DHD is a tank, mine has been more then abused and laughed it off for the most part....Though not sure if you've seen the dop test of the Lumia 920. The bloke hits it across a car-park (or something) with a bit of wood and it doesn't brake. Some of the hits the phone takes would literally obliterate most others and he has to throw it full pelt, screen first in to a concrete pillar to break the screen lol.. I've literally not seen anything like it from a phone before. I'd love to know how they managed to make it quite so strong.....
(here's the link to show you if you've not seen it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3c8il_Q6SU .....and no I'm not bigging up the 920, I know it's a good phone but it has far more flaws than the One.....I'm just referring to it in regards to its construction)
actually i'm really pissed
and if this speaker cover bull**** is not improved in later batches, i might reconsider...first time ever i see on an HTC
and i meant One X, One S, One V, 8x, Explorer, Sensation, Evo 3D, Sensation XL, Desire HD, Desire, Nexus One, HD2
non of them had easily flying covers!
these drop tests were quite brutal , usually no one drops them like this and on concrete thrice.. but i think the phone is quite good still in terms of what really happened to it..
my heart was pumping when the one was being dropped, such a gorgeous device!
I instantly remembered Lumia920 drop test. They were unable to shatter the screen like that. Lumia is using Gorilla2 as well. Why the big difference?

It wont be improved unless they got some amazing glue. An impact like that will cause it to bend and fly off. Waiting for later batches wont improve that.

I never understood that.
People buying a phone because its aluminium and its oh so pretty and not plastic, and then put it in a (plastic) case which makes the whole thing look like a toy in a condom so it wont dent.
