The company has developed and released an update that is said to improve both color reproduction and dynamic range in "certain conditions," according to a statement released to SlashGear.

The HTC One, the company's new flagship phone and would-be savior, will be available on AT&T starting on April 19th for $199.99.

HTC One review
The Android market has changed radically in the past couple of years. Where we once had a spec war, with manufacturers racing to release ever-more powerful smartphones as quickly as possible, now it’s turning into a marketing battle — and Samsung is winning by a mile. HTC, by comparison, isn’t doing so well. The company has learned some important lessons about not flooding the market with iterative designs, and the culmination of that is the aptly-named HTC One. It’s HTC’s flagship,...

Inside the HTC One: betting the company on two daring features
HTC was once a dominant, if not the dominant, player in the smartphone industry. It began by manufacturing smartphones like the Palm Treo, entered the market with Windows Mobile devices, and created the first Android smartphone. Yet HTC’s early lead in the space has evaporated: Apple created the iPhone, Samsung has dominated the Android market, and the carriers — once HTC’s greatest allies — are less relevant than ever in creating consumer demand.
As a result, HTC’s last quarter...
How does the HTC One stack up against the competition?
HTC has just announced the One, a new flagship Android smartphone for 2013. The HTC One runs Android 4.1.2, but an update to the latest version, Android 4.2, is promised at some point in the future.

HTC One: hands-on with HTC's phone to rule them all

We got to spend a brief amount of time with the new phone and...

In case all the hints, leaks, and brazen demonstrations hadn't already tipped you off, HTC has a new flagship Android smartphone and it's called the HTC One.
