Nicely done tests and we thank you all for doing them.
Yes at the pixel level these do not perform as well as a high-end compact.

I do very much like the HTC One as a Phone though.

Love this article and the images!

The image matters more than the equipment.
Bravo!

The image matters more than the equipment.
Your work shows that very clearly.
Wonderful images, well written article!
Bravo!

Thanks, the monochrome is my favorite as well :)
