[Galaxy S 4 General] Shan89:
Hey guys i know most of you will jump on me but i'd like to point out few things even tho i'm not buying S4 most likely since it's the same to me in design department.

Anyway i think everyone should compare like this , since you can compare it in 2 ways cuz of OCta and S600 version , but lets take s600 version 1st.

S600 S4 & HTC One ( s600 as well )

​

CPU - GPU - They are the SAME why even bother comparing it , what will matter at the end is which OEM optimises it BETTER,

that will prevail here,

also take a look at HTC One antutu , it's scoring up to 25000 with 1.7ghz clock , while s4 scores 20000-25000 as well with 1900 clocks.

+ we know for a FACT 4.2.2 boosts performance , so you can expect even more from HTC One when it gets 4.2.2

Design - I assume everyone agrees HTC has put alot of effort in this one rather then copy/paste like what samsung did 90% of the s4 design

Build quality - HTC As well - besides take a look at THIS regarding samsung's build quality.

Camera - Daylight shots will surely provide more details in S4 while HTC Will produce much better light shots + shutter will be at least 2x faster thx to less Pixels and img resolution.

Battery - it's been reported HTC-s battery goes avarage 6-8 hrs screen time heavy usage, we can't say which one is better here since we don't have any statistics regarding s4 do we ? So it's stupid to say S4 unless it actually gives more battery life , no matter of the battery size.

Software - i wouldn't count either one of these , some prefere touch wiz some prefere sense , this is matter of the personal preference.

Software features - this is all easy portable or will be easily downloaded from play store since devs will start making massivly all this kind of features , tho this i'd say samsung did better cuz of that floating touch thingy.

Speakers - No doubt HTC One , they support amplifiers w/o headphones + stereo and mesure up to 93DB + they're front facing speakers which means you'll hear and experience better whatever you do.

Headphones sound - this one should be also neutral , we don't know yet which one is better.

Display - Goes to HTC One as well , and i'm not talking about amoled / lcd , i'm talking that HTC's display is RGB + more sharp 468 ppi packed in 4.7 while s4 uses pentile matrix with 441ppi on 4.99 inch screen , also viewing angles are better on super LCD3 , as for brightness we don't know that yet.

Display Size - This one is also more of a personal preference.

Development - this is also more of a personal preference but it's a big plus AOSP / CM / aokp roms are way better optimised then on S3 as for touchwiz / sense , sense has viper guys on HTC One side , for those who don't know in short Viper literally changes your device for 500% , take a look at their rom you'll see what i mean.

Front facing camera - so far we know HTC One FFcamera uses 2.1 also records FHD in HDR 30fps and has WIDE ANGLE , we have no info about samsung FF Camera but it's reported to have 2.0 mpx and no wide angle nor FHD HDR recording. So i'd say HTC One this one as well unless it turns out to be the same thing on both devices.

S-off - both devices will have this , those who say HTC One wont because the lack of SD Card are very wrong ,

every QUALCOMM device have had S-off so far , even HTC devices without sdcard ,

HoX and HoX+ use nvidia tegra 3 chipset which is very different , but snapdragon versions have S-OFF.

RADIOS - Neither should have issues here, even tho SOME MIGHT think HTC One will have poor reception cuz of METAL unibody .. don't fool yourself, what do you think those 2 polycarbon lines at the back are for ?

HTC One integrated ANTENA into METAL unibody

and those

2 lines are there to make sure WiFI , NFC , Reception , BT will work perfectly fine.

Sd-card - clearly samsung lol :P

Removable battery - samsung as well

I guess that's it , excuse me if i've forgotten something. And i think it's stupid to include in pros software gimmics , afterall all of that can be ported etc. What matter mainly is the HARDWARE since that we cannot change but software we can.

Anyway as for OCTA chip:

​

- We know it has more powerful GPU and CPU , but we also know it has terminal issues and throttling alot , which is why they downclocked it from original 1.8ghz on a15 CPU to 1.6ghz at 1st then again downclocked it even further to 1.2ghz , and in the meantime A7 Cpu got Overclocked to 1.6 GHZ.

So if terminal issue is very present and 100% there you wont be able to use OCTA potential at all so s600 s4 will be better overall experience.

But i guess we still need to see proper tests on OCTA Chip.

And i guess this would be my 2cents, once again if anyone sees that i forgot something please feel free to correct me.
