The S, S2, S3 were all plastic so chances are the S4 will be the same.

The great thing about tech is everyone has the choice of what device they want, no one should flame you for buying one over the other, buy what suits your needs and what you enjoy since your the one holding it/using it.

I personally like the HTC One and chose to buy it based on the features/design and look of it. I would never be like 'OMG WHY DID YOU BUY A HTC ONE, THE SGS4 WILL ABSOLUTELY SMASH IT' etc...

Yes companies use gimmicks like 'Ultra Pixel' and various other buzzwords but EVERY company does it.... It's called marketing. In HTC's case they can't really just say 'Megapixel' because the size of the pixel is much larger so ofc they had to come up with a new word :)
[One (M7) General] iB4STiD:
is it wrong im counting down the days ? :cyclops:
[One (M7) General] NiCk.JaY:
I'm pretty sure I'm gonna buy the One. Samsung isn't for me. I hate plastic phones, when will Samsung learn? Thumbs up for One

And the average customer will be dissappointed seeing a device with just 4 'megapixel' camera. So ultrapixel is an acceptable name IMHO
[One (M7) General] Goku80:
and so it begins...like deja vu from last year...One X vs S3...nothing ever changes:D

but to throw my opinion...I will wait...wait till the S4 comes out and then i will judge which one is really worth having around..the One will be a lot more easier to get s-off due to the fact it is not T4...all Quallcomms are easy to crack so this one should not be a problem..just look at the recent findings regarding the latest phones receiving the exploit.

S4 being plastic who knows..No one knows what the phone looks like and what it will have on board...i am seriously thinking about going back to sammy just for the fact the bootloader might be unlocked and easier to develop for it.....but again same for the One again if its unlocked to with soff..arrggh hard choice...but best wait for reviews and more important user reviews who buy it on release day..dont go through the mistakes i did last year were i had to send back like 3 units till i got the perfect one...

yes plastic is cheap but look at the One x..that is plastic to...gorgeous plastic though... but plastic is harder to break though when you drop it

rather be safe than sorry
[One (M7) General] kalo88:
Is it wrong I'm doing the same? :/
[One (M7) General] -viperboy-:
Yes, I think it's worth it. I'll be picking one up (Sprint variant) and I know quite a few other members of our team will be doing the same. So you know what that means :D we can't let you guys run around with just a "popular" build.prop tweaked kitchen ROM ;)
[One (M7) General] TheRealGreenVirus:
It's not just the memory, it has also red buttons and the camera has a red ring. And the whole surface feels "rough".

The thing is I almost never buy a new phone, but when I buy a new one I want it to be the best one. I think it would be a shame to buy the HTC One now when they will release a new one a few months later that has not only a better cpu but also a better design.

I currently use the HTC HD2 with an Android ROM flashed on it and basically every phone is better than mine. The reason I didn't bought a new phone yet was that I liked the design of my HD2 and that I don't really need a faster cpu. Well yes everything is faster and I can play better games on the new phones but I a) don't play games on my phone and b) don't really need a faster phone, I can wait a little bit.

I now that there will always be new and better phones and I am okay with that as long as they are released like 5 or 6 months after I bought mine. I just would be sad if they release a better looking and faster phone like 2 months after I bought mine.

Edit: lol, I didn't realize that this thread had 4 pages.

I read the other pages too and I think I will wait till November like that one guy said.

By the way, could you guys please explain me why HTC makes their new phones without SD card slots and without removable cover in the back? What do you do when that phone freezes?
[One (M7) General] leo91919:
Freeze is no problem

Freeze is no problem

i have HTC Flyer and if it freeze i can push the on/off button for a while. It isn´t necessary taht you can remove the battery
[One (M7) General] numbskull100:
I to have a HD2 and am undecided about the One. Been promising myself a new phone for over a year now, not sure if this is to be the replacement or not. HD2 is now getting dated and a it slow at times, but basically functions really well for 3+ years old!
[One (M7) General] Maedhros:
BTW:

HTC announced they will only have 1 flagship this year. So we will have to see if they will have the One+
[One (M7) General] craftycarper1:

Surely if they are only having 1 flagship this year, they can't put out a One+?

A quick google brought this up

http://www.mobiletoday.co.uk/News/24232/HTC_says_there_can_be_only_One_flagship_smartphone.aspx

HTC says there can be only One flagship smartphone

HTC has launched its flagship phone for 2013, with the One hoping to turn around the company's fortunes by blowing apart the 'megapixel myth'.

The device will go on sale in the UK from 15 March and is the latest move by HTC to halt declining market share and profits. It was overtaken by Sony last year as the UK's second biggest smartphone manufacturer.The device features a redesigned version of its Sense UI, with a Blinkfeed homescreen that provides a user with a mix of social media updates, tailored news and upcoming events. It has redesigned its camera, with the HTC Zoe recording footage before and after the shutter button is pressed, giving the consumer access to a range of still pictures and videos. In a gamble that flies in the face of manufacturers boasting of cameras with a huge number of megapixels, HTC has a 4MP camera. However, it said its UltraPixel sensor captures 300% more light than any other smartphone camera and is optimised for low-light. The handset also features front facing Beats Audio enabled speakers.

Peter Chou, CEO of HTC, said: 'People today immerse themselves in a constant stream of updates, news and information. Although smartphones are one of the main ways we stay in touch with the people and information we care about, conventional designs have failed to keep pace with how people are actually using them. A new exciting approach to the smartphone is needed and with the new HTC One, we have reimagined the mobile experience from the ground up to reflect this new reality.'

Phones 4u will have the handset in 10 stores from Friday for customers to try before ordering. It also transformed its Oxford Street, London branch to host an HTC experience zone. It said the device will be available on contracts from £36 per month. EE will sell the 4G version of the smartphone for £69.99 upfront, on a £41 per month contract. Orange and T-Mobile customers can get the phone for the same upfront payment, but on a £36 per month contract. Three and Vodafone also said they would stock the device.

Not sure if it 100% matches what the other person said.

Not sure how accurate this is:

[One (M7) General] TheRealGreenVirus:
I would buy it if they don't release a way better phone this year. The reason why I wait is that people on this forum said that better cpu's will come and I fear that HTC will release a One+ right after I buy the HTC One. I also heard in an Interview that their camera could be better, they say it is a really good camera but they could have made it better.
[One (M7) General] catachresistant:
Articles suggest there will be no refresh this year. There is only the One.

I suppose people will remain sceptical until the year ends, and who can blame them, but consider that the strategy of a single flagship phone has worked wonders for Samsung.
[One (M7) General] -viperboy-:
If you played that game forever, you'd never leave your current phone waiting for "the next best thing after the next best thing" ;)
[One (M7) General] RCJ89:
+1, it is more painful for me than most because I am using a crappy bb curve 9320 for another two weeks minimum, I hope it gets released earlier than the 15th.
[One (M7) General] skr_xd:
I'm sure HTC will be releasing another 5+ inch phone in few months and say we stand in our policy of one flagship per year. But, this is basically a phablet and not a successor of ONE.;)

Remember HTC said that they are planning to bring bigger screen devices this year.

Who knows. May be they announce a phablet at MWC :D
[One (M7) General] craftycarper1:
I'm hoping that by saying they want to concentrate on 1 flagship, and customer satisfaction or whatever, will mean we see source releases and updates more often......i may be way off the mark though.:cowboy:
[One (M7) General] DJ1994:
Honestly I'm not impressed by the one and I used to be HTCs biggest fan boy. I came from the evo lte evo 3d and hero to the note 2 and it is far and away the best experience I have had. I was a huge fan of sense but I have to say Samsung knows what they are doing. The phone is just more fluid it has way less compatibility issues it has stayed fluid longer it's just great. One thing I would suggest remembering when buying the one is that HTC is in 12th place in smartphone market share.... I can't think of that many manufacturers including the Chinese ones I know of. Let's be honest having the resources of the number 1 manufacturer (Samsung) behind updates... Just think about it the gs2 will be running official jellybean soon can you say the same about the sensation? Or even the sensation xe. That is big for me. And if anyone is wondering I still recommend the note over anything.
[One (M7) General] djq:
i mean your comparing a phone that only comes out once a year to HTC's old way of doing business....hopefully HTC picks up the trend of only releasing one phone a year if they do that then they will have just as good of support as samsung does.....if htc keeps releasing like 7 phones a year its going to be hard to keep them all up to date like samsung is doing with the galaxy line of phones

im hoping this is the phone that starts the HTC ONE and next year they release the HTC TWO and so on each year.....

but i guess we will wait and see what strategy they decide to take on
[One (M7) General] DJ1994:
I see what you are saying but Samsung releases a boatload too all the s3's and s2's for that matter were basically different phones the way HTC does. Think hardware differences and development for those. Plus if you think about it the note line as the + line... It is more apples to apples. I hope HTC figures it out but I think for android having the developers on your side is huge as the crowd here on xda is who recommends phones to people who couldn't care as much. They ask their phone geek friend hey what should I get and then we think we'll I have and like the s3 a nexus isn't right for you... You should get the s3. See how I mean so when updates carry as much weight as they do with us that is definitely something to take into consideration. The one is a nice peice of hardware though.... Except for the button set up.
[One (M7) General] TheRealGreenVirus:
Yea I know, but the thing is whenever I bought something, something better was released shortly. Years ago I bought an xbox, I didn't had Internet back than so I didn't know that they would release the xbox 360 soon. The xbox 360 come out like 3 months after I bought the xbox (1). Some thing happened to me with games, I bought Forza 2 for xbox and shortly after that they released Forza 3. I bought the HD2 like a month before the HD7 got released. Same thing happened to me with the gamecube. I had a gamecube for a long time but than it didn't start anymore for some weird reason. I loved my gamecube so I bought another one and a few months after I bought my second gamecube the nintendo Wii got released.

These kind of things happened to me my whole life and I don't want it to happen again. I would be really disappointing if they release the One+ right after I buy the HTC One.
[One (M7) General] RCJ89:
I have owned the GN2 and it was far worse than my one x tbh. it was only batter on battery life, not user experience.
[One (M7) General] DJ1994:
Hmm well I guess to each their own. Mine had lots of bugs and problems. Same with two of my friends. The battery was just a bonus. We all like the note 2 way better.
[One (M7) General] Tomatoes8:
Haha so much Samsung hate here from butt hurt HTC fans.
[One (M7) General] craftycarper1:
Some HTC fans will upgrade from One X to the One, Sammy fans will upgrade from 3 to 4, matter of choice.
[One (M7) General] monkboy24:
Well I'm on a one x+ right now and I'm loving it so far. The HTC one is very nice looking and all but before I can decide weather it's really worth getting it I need to know how a owner likes it. It's to my understanding that most of the one series devices will be getting sense 5 and if that's the case then I think I can hold on to my x+! Software is more important to me at this point:o
[One (M7) General] yvibes:
No point in waiting months and months and then realizing that HTC weren't joking when they said just one flagship a year! The technological world is so advanced and is maturing really quickly, there will always be something better out or coming out after you buy your item. Whether that be with phones, t.v's, headphones and even cars. People complaining about lack of sd card and non removal battery, get over yourself! Who dafuq needs more than 32 or even 64gb! Better start deleting your unnecessary song collection. The battery is 2300mah and coupled with snapdragon 600 so the battery life should be fine...every single smartphone will need a charge at the end of the day, just the way it is! Unless your buying a smartphone to use as a mirror or showpiece. To the people who think they will be screwed if the phones gets stuck dont worry! There are methods to get ur phone running like holding down the power and volume button or something. Samsung has crappy hardware, ugly design and the only reason people may think they're getting more is from Samsung's ****ty gimmicks they have in their software like smart stay and s voice! Sense is defo much better than touchwiz IMO. Let's face it...if HTC stuck to one flagship a year and had better marketing Samsung would be no where in the smartphone industry just like it was back in the day
[One (M7) General] skanj:
I would of got one but no RGB Led notification :banghead:
[One (M7) General] Tomatoes8:
HAHA GS2 >>>>>>> Sensation

GS3>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> One X

Nothing I have seen so far is going to make this round any different.

HTC hardware has always been garbage next to Samsung hardware. I have no idea where the myth of HTC having better hardware came from. If it was actually true then Samsung would be digging their grave right now which isn't the case. I tire of the Samsung wins because of marketing BS HTC fans like to spout. The fact is, there is no evidence that supports that.

We don't know why 30 million people bought the GS3. It could be marketing but it could also be because you know, it is a great handset and the GS2 had a good reputation? According to Apple lawyers it is successful because it copied IOS and Apple in general. According to HTC fans it is successful because of marketing and ONLY marketing. According Nokia fans it is because of marketing and Samsung stealing their secrets.

Who knows. It could be any one of those things or it could be a combination. The safest explanation is because um, people like it and want to buy it over a POS HTC handset. I believe that is the most accurate one and I don't see anything from HTC that changes this. In fact, DJ is bang on, the Note 2 and GS3 are just so much nicer to use with the notification toggles, smart stay, enough ram, great feel in hand and not some crappy piano gloss sides or hard to reach and flush power buttons etc.

Having owned two One X devices, two 8x devices, one GS2, and one GS3, I think my theory is probably better than yours.
[One (M7) General] matheus_sc:
i already buy in clove uk, i have a gs3 and this devide impress me
[One (M7) General] AayushDhuria:
I have owned both GS2 and Sensation (XE) for over 6 months and no way GS2>SXE. If you count update, well I don't use phones for long. But if you'll be updated with development and what Devs say, you'll know how scumbag Samsung is. I'm not just an average touchwiz or sense user. I use my phone for more than 4hours a day, its like a second house for me and I wouldn't like to live in an ugly house with poor electricity and water supply. S2 got jb with broken stuff - words of an elite RD. My friend gokussjx also developer for S3 cries coz of exynos processor. Come on, we aren't here for brand fights.

HTC one looks great, and I'm unable to understand why are people complaining about storage. 64GB should be enough for all your music collection + favourite movies + 5 HD games and lots of pictures and videos o.O you could even keep a whole damn TV show.

Edit: I'd be glad to tell at least 10 ways in which Sensation was better. But this is not GS2 vs Sensation thread.

[One (M7) General] pavlpavel:
Only If I break my One S otherwise I don't think there's really anything new enough about it that makes an upgrade necessary.
[One (M7) General] Linux7:
I do think its not worth buying the one.

[One (M7) General] Tomatoes8:
Someone is delusional. All I have to say is the Sensation used the Qualcomm S3 and was fat. That makes even the Atrix better than the Sensation, let alone the GS2. I would love to hear this delusional post. Okay, what makes the Sensation better? Haha

Just a heads up to everyone considering the One. You would be basically buying an Apple product. I would never support Apple, ever. Not even if it is just 5% each handset. For all we know it could be 20%.
[One (M7) General] djq:
you have to be the biggest HTC troll ever....all your post make no sense and all they do is bash HTC....

is this what you do all day sit on the HTC forums and bash threads.....go back to your own forum and talk about how your phone is so much superior than every HTC ever made
[One (M7) General] Sarsippius:
I think that even if they release a One+ it will be much like the One X -> One X+, putting in a higher binned chip with a higher frequency and extra storage. This is an incremental upgrade obviously requiring much less R&D to produce as the whole phone is virtually the same. So I think it would be unlikely a One+ would upgrade to the 800 chip which might require a whole new pcb etc as well as more software development with new drivers etc.

If you need a phone now I wouldn't hesitate in getting the One, all your examples from the past where you bought consoles just before the new ones released is because you bought so late and couldn't do any research beforehand.

The other option is if you are able to wait a while, if say in 6 months a One+ does come out you can immediately buy that or get a One on the cheap and it would still be a great phone that would last a long time.
[One (M7) General] ReggieSmith:
Don't base it on what you think MAY come down the road. If you do, you'll never buy the phone in front of you. There will ALWAYS be something newer with slightly higher specs coming down the road. If you really NEED a new phone now, then buy what works for you. If you only WANT a new phone, it's best to wait.

For me, I won't buy a phone that doesn't have an SD card slot (or some removable media- who's knows what it will be called a year down the road!) That's not to say the HTC One is not a nice device, although I am confused by all of the variations on One from last year (One X, One X+, One S, etc.) HTC makes solid feeling phones and this one has some pretty decent specs, so I am certain plenty of people will buy it, especially now that you will be able to get incremental firmware updates direct from HTC without having to wait for a full blown ROM update which will need to be bloated by the carriers, etc.
[One (M7) General] gelo01:
And maybe if htc would ever release a phone that is almost similar to the One but with only a 4.3" screen just like our One S, then that would I be upgrading to.. something like HTC One Mini.. :)
[One (M7) General] Dannyada1988:
Acturally..

In fact, the specs of HTC One can be top, and the UltraPixel rear camera is really awesome.

Don't do it. I hate Apple and would never support them but if you have no problems with them, don't switch. Only reason I got rid of the 4s was because everyone had one and I can't stand it when everyone has the same jacket or shoes or phone as me. Otherwise it worked great. If you switch to an HTC phone though, prepare for a nightmare where you have a lot of issues.

[One (M7) General] dmarco:
As much as it might pain me to say this, I am absolutely head over heels in love with this phone. I think HTC has knocked this one out of the park. I have been patiently waiting for the SGS4, however, after seeing the HTC One I am 90% set on getting it. Samsung really needs to work their assess off if they plan on keeping me as a loyal customer. The SGS4 must have the octa core chip and they really need to change the design because I'm tired of this plastic crap. Yes, I am writing this on my SGS3.

:D

P.S. The HTC One's pixel count is something like 468, whereas the Galaxy S4 is rumored at 441.

We might have a new king wearing the 2013 crown... HTC?

Sorry but never in my life would I buy a samsung phone. Specially a flagship one. But no I am not a samsung hater.

Here in our country samsung dominates the phone market. And 2 out of 3 people you see uses samsung phones. And I don't wanna join that crowd of people I wanna be unique on my own so like I said on the other thread. I would rather use a nokia 3310 than a samsung galaxy S4 just for uniqueness sake.

---------- Post added at 02:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:38 PM ----------

If you really want the real name for the camera it should be

4MegaUltraPixels

1pixel on HTC One is 1UltraPixel

and 4million UltraPixels = 4MegaUltraPixels.

But it's just way too long for a name and looks childish so that's the reason why HTC never called it like that.

It would sound like I'm gonna be a superduperultimateomgWTFman.
[One (M7) General] Maedhros:
Seriously? This is the stupidest statement ever. You aren't supporting Apple or HTC, you are simply purchasing a product.

Whats up with the irrational hated from u Tomatoes? U seem to hate Apple and HTC for some reason, while riding Sony and Samsungs D.

He came from the Xperia forum, hes bashing the One to make him feel better about his obsolete device.
