Do not attempt this at home, but the HTC One can shoot fairly decent video in outdoor lighting, while sky diving.
The new HTC One commercial/video shows how you shoot video and take photos at the same time while free-fall sky diving.
A background video shows how photography student Nick looks falling at 126mph hours on his first fashion. It also interesting to note that it the phone is just called HTC One, not HTC One X or One S in the videos that follow.
The HTC One X is currently on preorder from AT&T and will be released on May 6. Features of the HTC One X include a 4.7" HD touchscreen, Android 4.0 (ICS), Beats enhanced audio, dual-core 1.5GHz Qualcomm MSM8960 processor, LTE access, 8MP camera, front-facing camera, HTC Sense 4, 16GB storage onboard, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, 4G LTE data access and 1800mAh battery.

The HTC One S went on sale last week at T-Mobile. The super-thin HTC One S, ships with Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) , HTC Sense 4,1.5GHz dual-core processor, 4.3-inch qHD Super AMOLED touchscreen, Beats Audio enhancement, 1650 mAh battery, 4G (HSPA+ 42) data and costs $199.99 with a contract. Amazon appears to have been offering it at a Wireless discount, however it is now backordered.
The description states "The Experiment: We chucked a photography student out of a plane to see if he could take the perfect fashion photo. We gave him a model, lighting guys, a makeup artist and smoke machines. The only thing we didn't give him was a camera. We gave him a phone."
Halley Atkin designed futuristic aerodynamic style. The model is a metallic body suit with plexiglass and silver boots.
Photographer Nick Jojola was a little nervous. He's from Upland where he lives with his parents. HTC gathered the best sky diving team in the world. It's done with a real plan, smoke and mirrors. Nick had 0.8 seconds to get the shot. Physics professor Bickel wanted a lady to jump out a plane with an evening gown that Flies off, but it didn't work. Nick tested his camera in bar and at night and its features. The jump day was cancelled, once.
Nick was fueled by donuts and hope.
