At a recent event, HTC said that they chose to make thinner phones than thicker phones with increased battery life because that’s what user feedback dictated. Motorola is a great example of where they’ve tried to appeal to both of those user wants: the RAZR is the thin device and the RAZR MAXX is thicker but has immense battery life.
HTC made sure that thinness wasn’t a big trade-off by saying that all their devices have been optimised to get the (now average) full day of battery life.
We’re quite okay with this plan, after playing with the One X we’re glad they did go for thin over thick.
