HTC Corp.’s One mobile device was recently named Best European Advanced Smartphone for 2013-2014 by the prestigious European Imaging and Sound Association, according to the Taiwan-based company Aug. 16.
“We are delighted that six months after launch, the HTC One continues to be recognized as the best phone on the market,” HTC CEO Peter Chou said.
“This award is a testament to the hard work of our designers and engineers who never stop developing the next breakthrough innovation that will propel the industry into the next era of mobile communication and entertainment.”
