Way out of your league, right?
Okay readers, you may have had a significant other half that was way out of your league in the looks department (it is of course a big discussion, but you may rest assured that good looks is not the only factor you should take into consideration, mainly because looks tend to deteriorate over time - kind of like Windows OS tends to get messed up even if you don't mess with it, given sufficient time - of course). In that case, you may (just may) be able to begin imagining how i feel after seeing the One (sorry HTC One, there seems to be enough space for three ones - if you know what i mean).
Back to the gorgeous girlfriend, then. Imagine a girl with Gisele looks, Einstein brains and Arnie power that will still fall in love with you, average Joe. Can it be done? Nope? Of course not.

The great news
It is absolutely crazy but this God damned übersmartphone has a spec list that will make you drool over it and costs ONLY 269 EUR for the 16 GB version (299 EUR for the 64 GB - it should be a no brainer which one to buy since there is no micro SD expansion slot)! I am not one to reproduce specs as you already know, but this time they really are worth SHOUTING all over the place:
- Snapdragon 801, quadcore @ 2,5 GHz
- Adreno 330 GPU
- 3 GB of RAM
- 5.5 inch 1080p IPS panel (Gorilla Glass 3)
- 13 MP f/2.0 Sony Exmor IMX214 (6-lens module) sensor & 5 MP wide-angle selfie cam
- Loud stereo speakers
- CyanogenMod 11S OS (based on Android 4.4)
- EXCELLENT price
Oh my God! This thing should cost at least 800 EUR if Samsung or HTC was the one to manufacture it. Which leads me to the obvious conclusion that the whole top tier smartphone pricing scheme is indeed a bad joke. It can be done with 269 EUR, therefore the extra five hundred (until you have what it takes to purchase an iPhone 5S) are a big steal. And you are the victim. Simple as that.
The not so great (but still not very bad) news
- No micro SD
- No USB 3.0 / Quick Charge 2.0
- It is way too big (personal opinion, see it all here)
- It is not an iPhone
The conclusion
Are you living in one of the following countries?
Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Taiwan, United Kingdom, United States.
Get up. Ask yourself "do i want a big smartphone?". If you hear back a yes, then put your hands in your pockets take out 299 EUR and go get the 64 GB version of the One. Get back home. Forget your friends/family for a while. Feel very special. Be happy.
I will say no more.
