[Q] Should I get an S4 or HTC One

Hey guys. Over the last few weeks i've been debating over whether i should buy myself an S4 or HTC One. They're both awesome phones, which is making it all the harder for me to decide which one to get. So i decided to ask which one you guys would suggest.
I would mainly use the phone for heavy internet browsing and listening to music.
Also I will most likely put a custom rom on the phone so I dont really care about what software features it has.
Over here in Australia the HTC One costs $750 whereas the octa core galaxy S4 costs $699.
If you suggest a phone make sure to let me know why it's better than the other one.

Not sure what to buy next?

$750 is ridiculous for the nexus 4 when it really should cost $300. Can you buy it in eBay from us seller? At that price difference definitely Samsung or the n new HTC. Newer more advanced phone, cheaper.

I replied in the official thread, but wanted to let you know that im not talking about the nexus 4, im talking about the Samsung galaxy s4 and the HTC One

HTC One is much cheaper you can get is for about $720 (second hand on eBay probably costs ~$500) and the quality that you get is pretty good. For example if you compare the quality of the pictures taken with both HTC One and Galaxy S4 there are almost no difference. However, if you are looking for a long battery life definitely S4 is better but more expensive though.
If I were you I would buy the HTC then use it for a couple of months and then buy another new phone

1st theres like a million of these threads. Second:

Third:
Go visit the s4 forums.
Then visit the htc one /m7 forums.
Use your new found knowledge to make a yoda like decision.
And now:
Thread reported, it is

Since this has been asked in the "official" thread, I am going to close this one...

[Completed] [WHAT PHONE] $200 android for Rooting & flashing ROMs.

Jan 2015 I bought Oneplus One used it for a year and finally sold it on Jan 2016 and bought iPhone 6s 64GB for more than $1000. Since then Ive been using it and frankly Im terribly disappointed and frustrated by the whole iOS eco system. Not to mention the higher cost of same Apps vis-a-vis Android.
Im now planning to get a second phone, an android, for my love of rooting and flashing custom ROMs and for changing more than a wallpaper in the name of customization. And eventually sell my iphone after a year since selling it now will cause heavy depreciation loss to me.
Ive set a budget of $200 to buy a custom rom happy android phone, please tell me which phones should I consider. Im open to used phones too.
Please note that phone should have rich custom rom development activities.

Best Budget phones 6" screen or bigger....

Really looking to get a new phone pronto!!! The ones I am considering are:
mi max 2
mi A2
oldriver S10MAX
maze alpha x
ZenFone 5
Vivo V9 4GB 64GB 6.3"
UMIDIGI Z2 Special Edition 6.2" x
Lenovo Z5 Smartphone
The old river s10max really sticks out to me but I really can't find much on it. I would love to hear any and all feedback from everyone about any and all the phones. XDA is my goto for anything android! By the way I use pre-paid ATT and I live in St. Louis Missouri. Thanks in advance!

Outside of the Asus, I'm not sure I would want to risk going with any other ones there. Support, OS updates and general quality are my main concerns with those. Hell, even BLU is better I think. If you want low budget devices, BLU, located in Miami, has these white label devices that run fine. Great prices on Amazon, fast shipping and good return policy. Either that, or Sams Club/Costco. There's usually 2 unlocked devices there are an affordable price. Usually Samsung branded. Much better support and return policy.
My 2 cents.
