As we mentioned in our review, the HTC One’s rear camera has lower dynamic range than other high-end phones. That means it sometimes struggles to resolve photos with a mix of bright and dark areas -- for example, shooting a landscape with a bright sky in the background.
You can usually tell on-screen when you’re going to have issues with dynamic range -- either the sky will become whited-out, or the terrain will become unrealistically dark. To work around this, switch to HDR mode (Menu > Photo capture mode > HDR) or Backlight scene mode (Menu > Photo capture mode > Scene > Backlight). Backlight works best in moderate cases; HDR is better in shots with extreme brightness differences. (And the HTC One’s HDR mode in particular is among the best we’ve seen on a phone.)
Again, remember that all scene modes are reset when you leave the camera app.
