The new One might be hitting Indian Stores soon.
But still a bad news for Google 4.4 fans since there is no support of "OK Google" hot-word from HTC.

Saw some reviews ..wasnt impressed. The dual camera offers some nice 3d gimmick but as a standalone imaging device it cant compare to rivals like the Xperia Z1/Z2 and the Note 3/S4/S5.
HTC should chuck their 4 Ultrapixel thing. 4Mpx is way too low.

And according to them it doesn't need any further improvement.

Can you link me to those reviews ?

i know you are excited about this phone and your ears will only allow praises to enter your brain, but for once be reasonable. This phone will cost at least Rs10,000 (i can bet on it) more than the last gen HTC One, while still maintaining the same flaws. I still cant understand that at this day and age manufacturers still put the power lock button at the top of big phones. Oh, its only HTC that's doing it. The opted for the on screen Navigation controls without minimizing the length proportion. A set back from last year's design.

As for improvement...it just cant be improved because HTC engineers are too lazy,happily swimming in the wads of cash the older HTC One brought in. It sold millions, but so did crappy phones like Galaxy Grands.

Who told you that I am excited about this phone.
I am going to buy z1 or z2. Not this Htc one since I am not a big fan of ultra pixel camera
