The internet browsing on the HTC One is great! It comes with both Google Chrome and Internet Explorer. The use of Google chrome makes browsing on HTC One super fast regardless of whether the wifi service you are using is poor or not. Surfing multiple pages simultaneously doesn't even slow down the browsing speed; this phone was able to open pages at a remarkable speed with 12 tabs open- this is twice the number of tabs previous HTC products could handle.

The awesome keyboard and the ability to store and retrieve your emails in folders make messaging on HTC One very easy. Although most smartphones are able to group your messages in folders, but none of them has made retrieving those emails as easy as HTC One has done.
