lol, it's funny, at Engadget, the majority of posters in all of the SGS4 threads they have up, are mostly talking about how this is just an upgrade and how they love the HTC One better, it seems the HTC One has made quite the impression even on the general public. :D

Yea but as others have said samsung will spend billions on marketing again and will probably sell more :( I'm hoping the one can at least get HTC noticed again & let them have praise instead of it being forgotten.
[One (M7) General] radiotrib:
add that to the fact that 99% of smartphone buyers don't read Android Central, Gizmodo etc ... in fact I'd be surprised if less than 95% of shop assistants in phone outlets do either (or even read in some cases) ... so what's the hope of getting the vast majority of people to see reason ??? Build a phone that LOOKS better than the average, hype it hard, and you may steal a a few sheep from your neighbours field ... but if Samsung and HTC erode Apple's market share without hurting each other or Android, then I think that's the best result anyone could hope for ...

2013 ?? .. Samsung #1, Apple #2, HTC #3 .. and I'll have an HTC ONE thanks ...
[One (M7) General] Eggcake:
It will definitely again sell way better. It's easy to sell to people now, as the Galaxy brand is marked in their brain. And the features can be sold easily to the 08/15 customer. "Look, you can just wave your hand and do things!" - SOLD! :D
[One (M7) General] horsetastic:
HTC are still recognised don't fret, they literally just one an award yesterday for their windows phone design.....And the One swooped 'Best New Phone' over the Xperia Z at this years MWC. Yes the Samsung wasn't out then but to be honest I have a feeling that if it had of been the One could stil have nabbed the award.....So you see, the people who know about phones recognise how good HTC are at creating gorgeous amazing phones :)
[One (M7) General] vegetaleb:
Trollers rule!!
[One (M7) General] Brac20:
I'm really interested to see how this battle turns out. It feels like it could either be their defining moment or the final defeat. Right now I sense a lot more optimism than after the S3 launch. In the looks department there is no competition, the One is the best looking phone on (or soon to be on) the market bar none. It has the best screen and (what many consider to be) the perfect form factor with the 4.7 inch screen. Despite a few detractors it looks like the 4MP camera is giving far better results than the 13MP that other companies are going for. And by all accounts the audio quality is second to none. It feels like HTC have really hit the nail on the head this time.

Obviously the S4 will sell well. But the real test for HTC is how well they can keep up. The One X is a fantastic phone but it never kept up with the S3 in terms of sales or marketing. HTC need to sink more money into marketing this time, even if that means the One doesn't turn a huge profit it could put HTC back into the spotlight so they can build on it over the next few years. I can see signs of this with the UEFA deal and also the City Tour they have been doing in the UK. I went to the one in Nottingham and there was a lot of interest, the reps were friendly and knowledgeable which helps. Although one answered the question "How many megapixels is the camera?" with "It doesn't have megapixels, it has ultrapixels", although after she went to talk to someone else I explained the camera specs to the guy.

Overall as a HTC fan I am feeling positive about their outlook, but only time will tell.
[One (M7) General] The-Last-Hylian:

hahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

i swear its so bad it hurts actually

i will be needed this link....
[One (M7) General] Shasarak:
I didn't watch the GS4 presentation, and am catching up gradually. Provisional reaction:

- The fact that it has an OLED screen with their usual super-saturated colours is a massive turn-off for me (but I'm in the minority, I know). I'm also suspicious of its lifespan: the screen burn on my S2 is so bad these says it's scary. A new version of PenTile is a bit of a gamble: chances are that at 1080p the difference will be invisible - the eye is much more sensitive to variations in brightness than it is to variations in colour (hence why most compressed video formats throw away three quarters of the colour information) - but even so, it gives rival marketing teams a toe-hold.

- Sound: the One's speakers are a great feature, one that I wish other manufacturers would emulate. S4 might have the edge for headphone sound quality - jury is out on that, but most likely they'll have a better DAC and poorer amplification. For me, volume is useful as I'm partially deaf, so I'm hoping HTC will be a better bet.

- It's sad that eye-scrolling seems to have gone AWOL. This is the sort of feature that would be awesome for people with reduced dexterity. If you want to sell smartphones to the over 50's, then you need to consider people with arthritic thumbs.

- The touch-free gesture stuff is a good idea from a marketing perspective because it's the kind of thing people won't be able to resist showing their friends. But if it works it could also be a major upgrade to web browsing. One thing no smartphone has previously been able to do well is simulate "mouse-over" on web pages. Countless pages trigger effects (like dropdown menus) when the mouse pointer is in a particular region of the screen, and smartphones desperately need a way to register the cursor being in a particular place without also simulating a button click.

- Polycarbonate: more prone to scratching than aluminium, but also much lighter and more resilient to impacts - it flexes rather than dents - so probably a better choice when it comes to keeping the innards of the phone protected and keeping weight down. There are good reasons why police riot shields are made from polycarbonate rather than aluminium. (Partly that they need to be see-through, but other reasons too!)

- Camera: no question in my mind that HTC is going the right way with this, and 13MP cameras are barking up the wrong sensor.

- Performance: no question that it will outperform the One with final software, but it's unlikely to be by a large enough margin to matter.

- Memory card and removable battery: ARE YOU LISTENING, HTC?!

- Looks: HTC looks nicer, but I don't spend £500 on a phone because of what the back of the case looks like. It's a phone, not a paperweight.

Overall: currently I'm not expecting to return my One, but I'm keeping an open mind.

Sorry but I disagree if I am going to spend £500 on something (no matter what it is) I want it to look like it's worth it.

We all know (now ) which phone is the BEST

The big question is the following:

Will be HTC able to produce enough ONEs to cover the demand? or not.

We all aware that Samsung is the best company in the execution of producing-> supply the market -->Sell the phone in mass quantities. S3 proved that in 2012.

It is great to have the BEST phone (HTC ONE) in the market but it is even greater if you can sell it and this can be only done if you be able produce it in mass quantities.

If HTC can overcome the production problems (cross your fingers it does) then I am 100% sure that the "Next Big Thing" is the HTC ONE!!!

I would expect 25 more. I have 25gb from One x, 50gb from SGS3, it's part of the deal. If course your 25gb from the one x will expire after 2 years and it will drop back

On that image. Both devices look similar. But isn't the s4 bigger ? Or is the One shell big which bulks it out?
[One (M7) General] Eggcake:
They are both nearly the same size. S4 has less bezel.

I'm not sure what made the S3 great last year or why the S4 wouldn't be great this year. I mean...they did innovate. IR Sensor, floating touch - not too bad in my opinion. Hardware itself isn't bad either (at least on par with the HTC One). Just the design is awful.

I really don't like neither the S3 nor the S4, but I'm sure it will sell just as well.

"I had the HTC One with me during my hands on time, and the difference is like night and day. For starters, the One is noticeably faster in every context. When flicking between screens, opening apps, and taking photos there was clear lag on the Galaxy S IV, whereas everything was almost instantaneous on the One. To be fair, this wasn’t the final production version of the S IV, and who knows which processor was in the model I had. There’s a chance it’ll be faster at launch."

Not "fanboying" but the lagging seen in the preview videos are due to the fact that its running on prerelease software(remember the htc one GL benches were blamed on that) why should I give a heck about touch wiz when I can root my phone and get an aosp rom and enjoy the power under the hood of the s4. Won't cancel ma htc one pre order, but will surely get the SGS4 (international version) for that extra power. I think I now have a pocket gaming machine on the go, gosh I was soo worried about the one's GL benches. HATERS ARE GONER HATE BUH THE TRUTH IS htc needs a bigger marketing budget if not the are done. Called ma dad back in GHANA( yep that's right) to tell him about the S4 and he said it was in the news of TV3(Ghana's leading TV channel),now that is some serious marketing from Sammy , HTC need to work hard if not the HOX story will be repeated.
