Although the HTC One has been tested in various tests (including t3n.com) one of the best smartphones currently available - but HTC seems to have the so-called "Tier One status" lost. This makes it more difficult to obtain the necessary parts, HTC cannot produce the necessary ones as fast as it would be necessary to satisfy the demand. computerbase.com reports that this bottleneck is causing delays in necessary individual parts.
This is a fatal situation for HTC: if the HTC One is not available before Samsung's Galaxy S4, many customers are likely to choose Samsung's new flagship - even if Samsung opts for a plastic case and the HTC One uses the much more valuable materials.
