I just see HTC one launched in India a few days back.
Honestly it's not so much beautiful.
Black s4 is much more appealing
Screen size and clarity also not as much nice as galaxy s4

Agree, S4 is just more compact, thinner and feels solid in the hand too.

After a month it started squeaking... not so compact and solid...
And that thinnes thing is def not an advantage.
Also see the various complaints of it just breaking it's display while in jeans pockets.
I would change it for a black 32 GB htc one.
Aesthetics aside, S4 feels better in my hand than HTC One, also much better than IPhone 5.
This thread sounds so naughty.

I dont see anything wrong with being a samsung fanboy in a "samsung" section.
Back to topic: Yes, I initially thought the one looks way better, but now that I was able to compare it side by side with my black s4... I really am very happy that I got the s4, and not the one.

As someone already said, "different strokes for different folks."
I understand people preferring the smooth edges of the S4. Me? I personally like the "sharp" edges of the One. Makes me feel as though I have a better grip.
People's hands vary massively. What's right for one is wrong for another.
I have to be honest though, I like many, really wish Samsung had tried a little harder to differentiate it from the S3. I felt I had to go for the One as HTC really do deserve a lot of credit (and my money) for putting so much effort into their device.
Still, I understand Samsung want people who know very little about phones to recognise the S4 immediately. Making it look like the S3 is the best way to achieve that goal.
I am surprised so many XDA folks went for the S4 mind. I suppose it's all about specs for a lot of people. That's why I plumped for the S2 a few years back.

I have bought phones. HTC one designed is much, much better, but with quality assembly issue.. I changed 2 one, and no 0 gap... Whatever, one is very different designs and more premium feeling
I really like the look and feel of the S4, nothing wrong with it and all this talk of plastic being cheap is nonsense imo the phone feels properly made and i have no issues with it and i prefer it to my htc one and I dont have to worry about the body being scratched, yes I have seen htc one videos but i still dont trust it. also i have no issues with weak screen on the s4.
I love my S4 but to put in other terms there is someone that mentioned the phone is easy to break well yes it is but if you take care of it correctly this would not be such a issue I have a Otterbox Defender series for all 3 of my S4s I have dropped my S4 3 times since I've had it, I dropped it onto concrete and have had no issues this by far is the lesson learned by many people dropping any phone is to buy a case. I am unsure about why the S4 is breaking in someones pocket I hold mine there all the time and had no issues but once again have a otterbox defender case on it maybe thats the saver unsure... I have never seen the HTC but then again already used my upgrade so guess have no need to
Bwahahahahaha,this thread is so funny !!!! I wanted to buy the S4 even if it was just an S3 with a real premium finish,I would have bought it.Plastic is definitly not premium,even it's more beautiful than the S3 build materials.10 millions S4 were sold over the world,but the question is:how many if it was aluminium?This number is just because of their marketing force.Look what HTC have done,they're not in the top 3,nor in the top 5 smartphone sellers rank anymore,but they wanted to make an outstanding comeback,and create this amazing phone,they listen to customers expectations,they sold 5 millions !!!! I'm not a pro HTC,nor Samsung,nor Apple,I love innovation,revolution and when you're ranked 1st or 2nd,you have to keep working hard to keep your crown.

I haven't seen a lot of direct comparison between the two phones. Can someone who has used both of them give their input?
Barring that, can anyone give me a give to stick with Samsung? I have liked my SG I but I am able to upgrade now and want either the II or the HTC. The HTC is VERY, VERY tempting, but I worry that since it is new there may be issues. I am also worried about the fact that the battery is not removable. What do you do if (and when) the phone freezes?
So thoughts.... HTC or Galaxy S II?
There's a button con fig to reset.don't worry lol..

If you're on T-Mobile get the One S. I had the international Galaxy SII two days ago and now I have the One S. I love the One S so far and have found nothing wrong with it. The screen, though similar, looks much better on the One S. It feels faster as well, even if through benchmarks it might not be.
I was on Tmo-sgs2 before One S and you can't even compare the two. One S better screen. Better processor. Better build quality. So satisfied I think I'm going to go rub it on my naughty spots....sorry TMI.

Just came from a GSII and holding a One S versus holding the plasticky cheap-feeling Samsung is like night and day IMHO.
But if you have a huge library of music and don't feel comfortable with a built-in battery, the GSII is still a decent choice.

I would like to get the one s, but how is the pentile screen when compared to the s2 rgb? Is there difference in sharpness?

Lol...when the first no sense rom came out..I waved bye bye to sense...I liked the previous sense version.sense 4 I don't gel with. Touchwiz is crap mate...if I had the s2...cyanogenmod would be rocking her straight away. The more incarnations of android...the less I think sense or touchwiz will be needed.

I jumped from the SGS2 to the One S and the difference is night and day. But consideration has to be made that I was also on a SGS before the 2 and the TW made it feel like I just went to a bigger version of the SGS. Or more bloated version. So I think the jump to better made phone and to Sense was easier. The speed and fluidity of the One S is also so much faster. The ability to use the phone one handed is nice too. Resolution is nicer and screen seems a lot brighter...even putting them on the same brightness and doing a side by side comparison. Battery is also great on the One S. I'm not drinking the Koolaid or anything but really I am impressed with this device. IMHO One S wins hands down. But like I said my opinion.

I wouldn't make any decisions until Thursday has passed tbh.. See what Samsung's next phone is saying. If it is just a quad core variant of the Nexus & SGSII with a new shell then the One S has got to be the winner.

I have to agree I've was testing the Galaxy Note 2 last few days and whilst the display on that is an improvement over the SGS3 it was still Meh compared to the HOX.
Sure AMOLED has better contrast and blacks but SLCD2 is just sexy. Crisp text and sharp. Whites are better, colours are less over saturated, brighter, and my god SLCD3 is supposed to be even better!

I really can't tell the difference. I used my friends gs3 yesterday and it looked perfectly fine and usable to me.
I know we get better viewing angles but during normal browsing i'm fine with either.
I completely agree. My girlfriend has an S3 and the blue tint is incredibly noticeable to me. The One X has the best screen of any device I've ever owned, by far.
I'm not thrilled with HTC or at&t nowadays.
I'm considering switching to Sprint within the next week.
But all the mass marketing doesn't warm me to the SG3 either.
Sorry but the bawdy home button and ugly camera and sensor holes are butt ugly.
Lots of cheap feeling plastic, roundy corners, and Touchwiz - all with a bluish tint display that's horrible in sunlight?
No thanks.
SG3 has never been on my shopping list, and won't be.

After owning an iPhone for 4 years straight, I vowed to never purchase a phone with a physical home button again, and I will stick to it! Samsung dropped the ball with build quality on the SIII, anyone who argues in favor of it over a HOX simply hasn't had enough time with both devices.

Are you tied to a contract at all with your N4? The specs appear to be better on the newer phones, but you must hold strong and stay away from hype and read some good Vs. reviews. Personally I'd hold on another year to the N4 (quality, solid, well supported device) and see what next year has to offer.

I used HTC One V, X and S for a certain period of time. They all worked without any problems, except for One V, that one was feeling a bit laggy, but it's the first device in the HTC One line and has only 512mb of RAM. Anyway, I would go for the HTC One
Stay
Nexus for is a good phone! I wpuld suggest you to wait to the end of this year (or maybe little more).

I understand but what might be a better performer for me may be different for someone else and previous devices don't matter, now is what matters. All the reviews online will help you more, trust me. And the nexus 4, HTC One and galaxy s 4 are all fast phones so it won't even matter. What matters is if you like stock android, if you like sense or touchwiz, if you're ok with a plastic phone or if you need a premium looking phone, if you need the best performer in the camera... there are so many factors here and again we all have different opinions, even some of us are having a hard time choosing but if speed is what you're looking for than the nexus 4 is very fast I can tell you that now.

The latest stock version!
No idea what is latest. And as far as I know from reports, it seems the Scandinavian xxuame2 is less laggy than others (that's my current one btw) and that some areas has a different version as it's latest version.

I compared i9505 and HTC One side by side, and One was smoother. I guess SGS4 doesnt have well optimized software yet.
Perhaps. Or the sw you have isn't the best version they've made so far. As mentioned, it differs from region to region it seems.
Can't say I feel a huge difference between my 920 snd my s4 in terms of smoothness. And 920 is pretty damn smooth.
The again it could be my fw contra yours that makes the difference.
So basically I think it's hard to compare one to s4 since there's several totally different "latest sw" on the market. Probably for both phones.

In the age old battle of HTC vs Samsung I can almost guarantee history will repeat. Samsung always comes out on top with better hardware, firmware, updates ect.. So yeah, maybe a stock ONE is slightly smoother than a stock S4 but give developers some time we'll see who takes prize.

I have done the comparisons myself for the sake of what to keep, and all of them reviews and comparisons and not real, what is real is what I like not what others show me. Lags and whatever do not bother if I have to give up 50% of the value add features I get with the S4.
Big regrets to spend the money on the HTC One....

I personally think that samsung went with 4.2.2 which is buggy and slight laggy by itself. They also had less time to optimize the firmware. I have a lot of hopes that the s4 firmware will be optimized as much as the htc one in terms of performance.
Sent from my GT-I9500 using xda premium
Might be something off with the 9500 and it's sw?
Not sure what the bugs in 4.2.2 are, haven't encountered any so far that I've noticed.
Maybe I got lucky with having my fw or maybe I'm just oblivious. I don't know.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda premium
The multi tasking on the HTC One seemed faster because the SGS4 has the slow stock multi tasking animation which was introduced in 4.2.2.
Turn off all animations in developer options and see which is faster
Many are saying that the S4 IS HAVING SOFTWARE ISSUES BUT ALSO see that htc one is running 4.1.2 and maybe in 4.2.2 it will be more better!!
In my case here.. I asked my self what exactly do I want in a phone.. Build quality over functionality? Boom sound over 5inches screen? In the s4 I really got functionality while d one looks like a fast HTC X.. In terms of pixels, u can't differentiate cos anything over 400ppi is awesome. I hardly listen to music with the outer speakers so boom sound is not my thing. With the Samsung s4 I'm never bored. Games performance and bench marks kills the one. It's all about individual choice.

Wrong, its much better implemented then flipboard could ever be.
S4 for me:
5 vs 4.7 on the same candy bar size, while being lighter.
When I decided there was no One Google version.
Having handled both for a while the One lost its "better quality" moniker. I don't like the feeling of carrying a metallic object in my pocket. It is nice to look at, but felt like a foreign object even holding it. And by the way the One is not that "premium" of a construction. Polished aluminum is not as nice as polished stainless steel (as seen on expensive watches)
Bottom line if the one was last year's flagship, it would have been an excellent choice. Now the s4 is simply better.

Ah but the build quality of the One is far worse than the quality of the s4. Thats why I thought you meant the s4 was the build quality and the One the functionality.
Harder to fix when damaged.
More prone to disfigurement upon impact.
Apparently quite a few phones are received with gaps in the chassis.

well I spent a about two hours playing with both phones, both were very good phones, what made
the HTC stand out to me was first pinch and zoom , when i did this on the S4 it would not realign the
words into a single column , which meant i had to scroll side ways on the website while I read a article. I used CNet , Fox news , phonenet , TechRadar to test..
next was the sound ,
For such small speakers , the HTC One put out decent sound, makes it nice if you just want some back ground music
with out having to use the headphones...granted I use it in semi-quite environments ..
The S4 had a plastic feel to it while the HTC one felt really solid, you can twist the S4 where the HTC One you cannot..
I did give the S4 a solid going over, it did have a kinda cool thing where it would follow your eye movement, it work but
but needed improvement... I would have rather seen Samsung spend money on the phone then marketing
like a metal case.. and HTC gives you the tools to unlock the boot.
Depe ds on your preference. One has the stronger body, and S4 has a removable back, which means interchanging batteries, and getting custom designed backs for it. The S4 also has a micro sd (sorry if this was mentioned, for I'm only skimming through), which the One provides more storage for the same price.
The S4 focuses much more on the software features, while the One focuses more on the design of the hardware and software without being too intrusive or overbearing. Sense 5 UI found on the One is pretty sweet and lighter than previous versions of Sense, and also lighter than TouchWiz. TouchWiz is much more fun to explore with the many things that you can do with it.
They both have similar processor, with an exception of the clock speeds (the S4 is 200MHz faster, but the average user - and even some power users - will not tell the difference.
I'm intentionally omitting my preference, for that is irrelevant to your decision. I'm not trying to influence your decision, but provide my unbiased opinions. (Hopefully, no one has enough insight to my decision...)

If you want a very good phone for its design quality, go with the HTC One.
If you are a Samsung fan and longtime user, go with the S4
Go for HTC One

If you can live with the 4 MP camera of HTC One then go for it. That's the only weak point of One against S4 I believe.
