Check out our full review of the HTC One smart phone.

Talk of the HTC One being delayed first started in mid-March, and was swiftly confirmed by an HTC spokesperson. Then, at the end of the month, HTC sent out a statement saying the phone would be arriving in Europe at the beginning of April, and North America a few weeks later, but before the beginning of May. Now, AT&T has shared some good news, as the HTC One will go on sale with the network on April 19, and pre-orders will open later this week.

When you hand over $200 and place your signature on a two-year contract, you’ll get a shiny 32GB HTC One in return, but if you dig deep and throw $300 at the AT&T sales person, a 64GB One will be yours instead. As hinted at in a recent commercial, the 64GB model is an AT&T exclusive, so if you need the extra storage space there’s only one place to go.

The deals don’t stop there either, as anyone who pre-orders either device before April 18 (and signs the dreaded contract, of course) will receive an HTC Media Link HD for free, enabling you to wirelessly share content with your TV. According to the press release, this little gadget is worth $90, so it’s a generous gift.

Here’s a quick reminder on the HTC One’s specifications. The aluminum unibody holds a 1080p screen measuring 4.7-inches, and a 1.6GHz Snapdragon 600 processor powers the phone. Android 4.1 is onboard, and HTC has added its new HTC Sense 5.0 UI, complete with streaming news and social network update aggregator BlinkFeed. The One also has HTC’s Ultrapixel camera for improved low-light performance, dual stereo speakers driven by a built-in amplifier and 4G LTE connectivity. AT&T will offer the HTC One in either black or silver, and you’ll be able to pre-order the phone from April 4. In the meantime, you can read our hands-on report here.

The ESR Black Friday deals offer discounts on iPad and AirPod cases

I know, I know, you've probably been inundated with a ton of early Black Friday deals. Me too. But continuing with some more ESR deals, this time we're back with something a little different. Where before, you were looking at great deals on cases for Apple's devices. Here, we're looking at cases for the iPad and AirPods. With the iPad, it adds a bit of functionality, like doubling as a rotating stand for hands-free viewing. The AirPod case, on the other hand, supports MagSafe charging but offers ultimate drop protection to your earbuds and their wireless charging case. Let's take a closer look.

The future of the Google Pixel Tablet doesn’t look good

Google’s Pixel lineup has been pretty solid lately -- at least, for most of its hardware, anyway. But there’s one Google Pixel device that seems to have flopped so hard that it may end up being a one-off thing, and that’s the Pixel Tablet.

If you’re hoping to hear some news about a proper Pixel Tablet 2, we have some bad news. According to a recent report from Android Headlines, it seems that Google has already canceled plans for a Pixel Tablet 3. But wait! Another report on Android Authority claims that it was actually the Pixel Tablet 2 that was canned, not the Pixel Tablet 3. Considering that you can’t have a third iteration before having a second, I think it’s safe to say that whatever the next version was going to be, we’re not going to see it — at least not for a while.

My favorite smartphone camera of 2024 isn’t made by Apple or Google

When I needed to take photos of a car for a series of stories this month, only one phone came to mind, and it wasn’t one of the top devices made by Google, Samsung, or Apple. It’s the fantastic Xiaomi 14 Ultra, and over the course of a few days, it cemented its place as my favorite camera phone of 2024. Here’s why.
Why is it the best?
The Xiaomi 14 Ultra Andy Boxall / Digital Trends

I already held the Xiaomi 14 Ultra’s camera in high regard after having reviewed the phone and tested it out against other cameras. I especially loved the versatility of the brilliant Photography Kit accessory. But most of this happened earlier on in the year before other brands had the chance to release serious competitors. I knew I had to give it another try, just to be sure of my feelings.
