Taiwanese electronics firm HTC had recently unveiled the flagship HTC One smartphone in London and New York City.

 The smartphone sports a super LCD 3 display with pixel density of 468 pixels per inch which is one of highest display resolutions in the industry. Even iPhone 5's retina display is no match for it.

Apart from superior display resolution, does HTC's latest offering have any other tricks in its bag to ace Samsung's record seller Galaxy S3?

Remark:

Considering the above feature comparison, both smartphones have negligible differences between them. They have similar a quad-core processor, memory space and Android mobile OS. Even though Galaxy S3 was released more than eight months ago, it can still give the new HTC One smartphone a run for its money.

With an aluminum exterior unibody case and super-LCD 3 display with 468 ppi pixel density, HTC One scores more points against the Galaxy S3, but it remains to be seen if it can match its rival's record sales.
