Hasta La Gadget!

A lot of the smartphone color options we see announced are no big deal, but there was a certain something about HTC’s metallic red One that demanded closer attention. We’ve just handled the burgundy bombshell, which has the same hardware credentials seen on the silver and black options (4.7-inch 1080p display, UltraPixel camera, Snapdragon 600 processor), but coated in a metallic “glamour red” finish just in time for summer. The color extends across the rear of the smartphone, the two speaker panels on the front and the chamfered edge that connects the two. The effect is slightly textured to the touch (more than the initial monochrome models, at least), making it a bit easier to grip, while bouncing around any ambient light that manages to hit it. That’s pretty much all there is to say, but you can scrutinize the new choice of color in our gallery below — and check our full review, because the phone’s fortunately otherwise unchanged.

CANFIELD, Ohio — Lionel is one of the best-known model train makers in the world. It has fans (and customers) just about everywhere, and its products can sell for hundreds of dollars. In the last 113 years, it has established itself as the epitome of quality and class.

Yet until just three years ago, its repair operations were disorganized to the point that fixing customers’ trains could take months, and often those repairs did nothing to fix the problem.

Kali and her packmates wanted to prove that the Alpha pack meant business on “Teen Wolf,” and they chose a bloody way to do it. After Boyd came up with a potentially brilliant idea to protect Derek from their attack, it all fell apart when Kali and the twins cut the power. So it was time to fight.

Unfortunately, Derek and his pack were no match for the Alphas. The Alphas quickly gained the upper hand, and then Kali drove home her point. With Derek still wolfed out, she had her own pack hold his hands up. Shen then embedded Boyd onto Derek’s claws, gutting him.

Boyd bled out as the Alpha pack left with an ultimatum. Derek had until the next full moon to join the pack, or she would come back and kill them all.
