Well I for one was not disappointed with the phone. I have a GS2 and was going to upgrade to the GS4 or the HTC ONE.

I most likely will choose the GS4. Even if I had the GS3, I would still upgrade to the GS4. There was nothing disappointing about the phone. If the phone looked slightly more different, then everyone would be praising how great it is. I personally care more about how a phone functions then how a phone looks.

If we are going to talk looks, i LOVE how the HTC ONE looks. Here is my problem with them though.

I have had an HTC Amaze and an HTC ONE S. While they were great looking phones, with some cool features, I ultimately hated the functionality of the phones. They had so many bugs and small little issues that annoyed the heck out of me. I remember being send the GS2 as a replacement for the HTC Amaze and loved every bit of it. I ended up sticking with it with no regrets. Sure, the HTC AMAZE and ONE S has a brighter screen and the AMAZE had some GREAT build quality, but the little issues just got to me. Which is why the reviews from owners of those 2 phones have not be excellent. Not to mention I need me some removable memory and battery. The only real big positive about the HTC phones are the cameras, which now with the GS4 I expect the cam to be much better then usual samsung.

Now if HTC has fixed all that with the ONE, I would be more inclined to buying it. From there track record though, I just don't know yet. Need to wait till they both come out.

For me personally, Samsung is just a safer bet. Can't tell you how many times I got replacements for the AMAZE

Mind you, I dont root my phones and dont plan on it.

With my terrible experience with the One X+ I just bought a couple of months ago (S-ON, no dev support, Sense 4+), I'll be heading back to Samsung. I enjoyed my S2 more than the X+.
[One (M7) General] fernando sor:
Come on discuss the specs or go back to Sammy forums. Your just trying to piss people off. 4.2 is not that great of an upgrade and has had some issues
[One (M7) General] Sensamic:
SD card? Bigger battery (reviews say the One has terrible battery life)? Comes with 4.2.2 instead of 4.1 and will update faster to Android 5.0 and get 5.1 when the One won't as it will have already received two big updates from 4.2 to 5.0? Bigger screen? Correct buttons instead of the weird way the One has them? Better camera? Better RAM?

Either way I'm getting the next Nexus.

Hey Samsung does it for a lot of people. I personally think the two db trolls who dropped in here need to get a life but I can see why Samsung has built a following. I do predict tho that htc will cut into their market share.
[One (M7) General] eg1122:
@Sensamic that's just your opinion. I say wait for side by side comparison and reviews if someone is not sure what to get.
[One (M7) General] fernando sor:
Updates are decided by the carrier. Really this shouldn't have to be explained to anyone with any knowledge of how the major us carriers work
[One (M7) General] eg1122:
Very true, we all know Samsung will probably sell more than htc, but HTC will sell a lot more than it did in 2012
[One (M7) General] fernando sor:
And we won't be holding a plastic toy phone in our grubby little mitts either
[One (M7) General] Sensamic:
Carriers all you want, but the One will get 4.2 and 5.0. I haven't seen any phone get more than two Android updates.

I'm getting the next Nexus probably. I like the One design and build quality but it's still too soon to upgrade. I'll wait to see what Android 5.0 brings. By that time the One + could be released.

[One (M7) General] omnius1:
+1. Especially the "SG3s" comment. sums the S4 up perfectly. Thanks for proving my predictions of what your new phone would be Samsung, and congrats for joining the iPhone world of uninspiring stagnation.

Obviously I prefer the HTC here, but Samsung have become so Apple-like now I'd actually even buy a Nokia WP or the Blackberry z10 before I would go with Applesung iS4 now.
[One (M7) General] eg1122:
Sh** I might hook the one to a gold chain and rock it like flavor flav does his clocks. Might go well with your HTC pimp stick.
[One (M7) General] fernando sor:
That's ridiculous. Key lime will be released in may. They have no reason to even update to 4.2 that update has had issues as anyone with a nexus 7 will tell you. You have no idea how this will play out. And try getting a timely update even with a nexus phone if you're on Verizon. Sorry this is commen knowledge. Not sure what your proving here by making statements based on ignorance.
[One (M7) General] Livebyte:
Android 4.2.2 is awesome.

It will be awesome when it comes to the One.

Samsung's implementation will suck no matter.

Ugly & hideous.

It embarrasses me as a web designer.

The only thing I was impressed today was their Samsung Hub.

Very well designed.

Functionality on the other hand....
[One (M7) General] fernando sor:
I think jelly bean is awesome. 4.2 is a minor update tho I do like the quick settings
[One (M7) General] Livebyte:
Quick Settings in my opinion, Samsung did it better.

Google did it horribly.

They need to shake up that part and it will all be perfect.
[One (M7) General] fernando sor:
I disagree. I can't stand the horizontal eqs. Tho I dev and I spent a lot of time working on htc quick settings code. Those are still my favorite.
[One (M7) General] thugangel662:
It has ddr3 ram & a bigger battery.
[One (M7) General] eg1122:
Maybe they are trying to compensate for something else....just saying
[One (M7) General] -]Megacharge[-:
I'm still getting the HTC One. I saw nothing from the SGS4 that makes me want to drop the One for it. After seeing and learning about the SGS4 today, I'm not even moved by it in the least. Ugly design, gimmicky features, and marginally better performance at best. HTC One still maintains it's status as the winner.

BTW You should add a poll to this thread.
[One (M7) General] fernando sor:
I do think going with a bigger battery was smart but remember they have more screen real estate to push. 5 inch phone needs at least a 2500 mah

---------- Post added at 12:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:26 AM ----------

I have to totally agree. I see an s3 with an updated screen and software. Ugly ugly phone.
[One (M7) General] big_b0sss:
Exynos octa + same GPU as iPad 4 sgx 4 I'm coming :cool:

I don't mind plastic as they are more durable than metal or glass also I would love to have a 5 inch full hd display.

Wish sgx4 had design like HTC one or HTC one had spec like sgx4

Either way not perfect but I like spec more than beauty ;)
[One (M7) General] fernando sor:
Really the only one here making any sense about the s4 is Barry. The rest of you are mostly trolling. If the device had been a hit you wouldn't be in here trolling. You would be talking it up on the Samsung forums.
[One (M7) General] jmlott:
For me, the biggest reasons I'm sticking with the One are:

Speakers - I can't tell you how many Youtube videos we try to watch as a group while smoking at work and no one can ever hear anything on any phone. I guess we'll be watching everything on my phone from now on ;)

Source code releases - I am coming from a Galaxy S2 and I couldn't be more upset with Samsung and their refusal to comply with GPL. I had to unroot and deal with the crappy Samsung bloatware because of all of the issues with rooted roms and kernels. If Sammy would release source like they are obligated this wouldnt be an issue. HTC does not have this issue. They actually work with developers and release source on time.

I don't really put any stock into the differences between Sense and Touchwiz or the stock Android version because I will be running the latest Cyanogenmod with ADW Ex as soon as it's available (which will be a lot sooner than the S4).
[One (M7) General] brainimpact:
When you look at the S4 rationally you will quickly realise its just a S3 refresh. Its just had a specs bump with a new sensor added and UI tweaks with lots of new Samsung bloatware apps, Most the new software features already have alternatives on other devices or downloadable from store, the ones what do not will quickly be copied and released.

[One (M7) General] eg1122:
Hmmm lets see....my pc has a single processor with 4 cores which equals quad core. Samsung has two processors with 4 cores each. They call it octa, but its not an actual 8 core processor since processor is singular. So therefore Samsung has dual quad core processors....lol

People will flame me for this, but I actually love the idea of BlinkFeed. Always wanted Flipboard as my main homescreen since forever but in a more integrated and elegant way.

HTC One is superior. End of story.
[One (M7) General] panda_mode:
Whichever has super LCD wins for me. But I'm happy for Samsung, too. They certainly are more feature packed than the One.

Also, at first I was iffy about the icons on the htc one. Flashed the theme and now I kinda like it lol.

I hope it will be solved with the release of the SDK, and I presume massive support from the dev community.
[One (M7) General] fernando sor:
I think they actually added a few recently and will continue to build on it. I'm on pulse, reddit and flip board all day anyways. Be great to have that in my homescreen

Samsung aped the One's features I put an arrow next to, and they also aped Blackberry's business mode. The SGS4's camera software seems much less robust than the One's though.
[One (M7) General] Livebyte:
SGS4 camera software to me seems really good. Impressed so far but that's pretty much it.

I really love the idea of Dual Camera that picture with a sound thing?

I actualy prefer Zoe.
[One (M7) General] Squirrel1620:
In my case, htc dug their own grave with (again) leaving out external sd expansion and removable battery. Those two things are what I am looking for in my next phone so based on that alone it looks like I will be buying Samsung.

I will feel bad leaving htc I loved the rezound, but it seems they are just not making what I want and Samsung just is.
[One (M7) General] -]Megacharge[-:
I've heard lots of complaints about lack of SD and removable battery, but I just can't see this as a viable reason not to buy it, when you can pick up Duracell instant charge for cheap, and use your phone while charging it without having to reboot from a battery swap. If the battery fails (which is extremely unlikely as it's lithium polymer), I'm not worried, the battery is covered for a full two years of warranty. If somehow I needed more than 64GB's of storage, I could always use OTG external storage.

Really, the lack of these two things aren't deal breakers, and have become nothing more than a rally cry.
[One (M7) General] snorkle:
I have never had a Samsung phone that didn't have hardware problems... then again almost everything I buy is a lemon... I have to go with build quality
[One (M7) General] alanzo27:
I'd have to disagree. As soon as I saw the One I fell in love with it. The dual stereo speakers, premium build and Sense 5.0 are impressive. When I saw the S4 launch I was unimpressed. It just didn't do anything for me. I'm probably one of the few that like the hardware unified. No messing around with back covers and 32GB is plenty of storage in my experience. I'm really looking forward to getting my One. :D
[One (M7) General] lurchbyrep:
As with every new phone announcement, I am baffled by the discussion of pixel matrices. I have found several sites claiming that the S4 has a PenTile AMOLED, but I cannot find the source, nor can I get any evidential verification. How do we know it is PenTile? I admit that I didn't watch the entire Unpacked gala--who has the time, Samsung? But, I know that Samsung has never before been in the habit of revealing their sub-pixel arrangement in a device launch. Did I miss something? Did they spill the beans this time? Has someone taken a high-res. photo of the screen that I don't know about?
[One (M7) General] kopkiwi:
Leaning towards the One.

I love the 64GB internal that both offer, but I NEED that SDcard and the ability to have total storage over 100GB is a massive tick.

I don't think there is going to be such a massive difference in camera quality that it would sway me one way or the other.

The massive thing going for the ONE is it's vastly superior build quality, it just looks stunning. The S4, much like the S3 just looks cheap, the plastic feels cheap and it's aesthetics are quite boring.

Yeah I'm definitely getting the HTC One. No point in me going from an S3 to a S4.

[One (M7) General] rl421403:
Me getting S4. Although HTC One has better build quality but for everything else, HTC is not the company I would bet on. It will probably never get updates after one or two.

On the other side Samsung is adding more and more features in each update and from last year when I purchased S3, I already got 3-4 updates. Plus they already working on another one with all these latest features.

On hardware side, I think S4 has upper hand on HTC One. Battery is larger, processor is faster, S4 Screen is bigger but phone is little smaller. S4 Screen is better. Not to mention expendable microSD slot and replaceable battery.

So I would not want a phone with better built quality but strong specs and better features.

I think that's the main reason why I switched from iPhone to S3 in the first place. I know a lots of people might hate me for saying this but iPhone has best build quality among all phones out there.

So definitely Galaxy S4.
