Here comes the flagship model of HTC. HTC is doing its business of mobile phones in India in a very silent manner. Though it has surely gained a lot of reputation for the HTC One series and they have made sure that they have added a good quality phone to this series.

Earlier days there were only a very few phones called as smartphones including BlackBerry, iPhone and the last was HTC. Though HTC has made the attempts of creating very good Android Phones. The android is the best OS for mobile phone and is used by most of the mobile users in the world.

The main task of this phone is to provide a very genuine user interface experience to the user. HTC has made a point in making this phone one of their best products because they want to showcase their talent in creating the phone with the best quality which they can offer. The cost of the phone might be a concern for most of the buyers but if you see the phone`s features I am sure that Samsung Galaxy S4 users might get attracted to HTC One 801e.

Type

It comes in the category of the phones which needs MicroSIM. So you got to create a microsim for this phone if you don`t have one at the moment. The MicroSIM seems to have caught attention from many people including the Samsung S3 users. The other general feature is that it is just a single SIM phone. It is not a Dual SIM phone.

Performance

It is based on the Android Jelly Bean OS. The performance of the phone is superb. It uses a Quad Core 1.7 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 Processor which makes this phone to be astonishingly amazing. The quadcore technology gives immense power to the phone to be smart.

Display

It has a gigantic 4.7 inch screen. A bit less than the 5 inch and this phone does come from the Phablet Category. It is capable of producing Full Hd 1920X1080p resolution which is mostly in many LED TVs now a days. So an awesome resolution in the hands of the user.

Camera

It has a gigantic UltraPixel Primary camera. The secondary camera is 2 MP. I think that companies should make sure that the front camera should be of good quality as many people now a days are using the video calling and video chatting features. The main thing is that the features of this phone are mostly revolving around the awesome camera of this phone.

Battery

It has a very good battery backup of 2300mAh and the battery has a good capability of being used for a whole day with normal use. I liked the performance of the battery of this phone. The main thing in this phone is what people will purchase this phone mainly due to the excellent battery performance.

Memory

It has a gigantic Internal memory of 32 GB what normally a mid range iPhone has. But for any smartphone this amount of memory is quite sufficient. The phone is powered with the 2 GB RAM which is as twice than the Micromax Canvas HD phone. The phone is immensely fast and the mouth watering display quality is just superb.

Connectivity

This phone has everything including 3G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth. It also has a navigation technology of GONAGLASS which is new and seems to be a lot of effective for this phone. The phone has the latest Bluetooth of version 4.

The phone supports all the multimedia including the .avi files. The default player is very much advanced and the phone seems to be very much useful for the playing of HD videos without any lag. Even the games can be played without any hitch.

iOS 7 launch: Application developers need to keep important things in mind.

iOS 7 has been showcased and these are the important things which the application developers have to look at.

Clarity. There is more clarity in the iOS 7. The text is legible on various sizes, icons are shown as it is, complete focus on functionality makes the design motivational.

Deference. The UI is very much user friendly. It helps to understand everything to the users. The interaction is good.

Depth. There are very much realistic motion in the design. It helps users to get delighted and give them the know how of the new OS.

Dynamic Type is very much stressed upon in the new Apple`s iOS7. It will surely make the user the dynamic.

For Application Developers:

There are two tips given by Apple to its application developers on its launch of the new OS. There are a lot of work the Apple`s application developers have to do. Not only they got to have a check on the UI of the application but also many other parameters. So the developers have to get accustomed to the new iOS 7. There are a lot of speculations that the developers are already happy with the iOS 6 and are comfortable.

But the question is that are these developers are confident and welcome the changes made to the OS. It seems that with the launch of new OS Apple is surely going to launch new products which are compatible with the iOS 7.

The application developer has to keep these constraints in mind while developing an application:

Bars and keyboards should be kept and accommodated to the screen. The transparent status bar. View controllers will help the developers for the full screen layout.
Developer should re-design custom bar button icons.
Create new borderless buttons
Use AutoApp layout for checking out the apps.
Control Center gesture should be used to navigate swipe to go back gesture, while performing the touch handling.
The use of gradients and drop shadows has to be re-checked.
