[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zodiac100:
Why should it have been deleted, because it asks a question, the answer of which you do not like. That's your problem and not the threads.

The OP said camera performance was very important to him. The honest thing to say to him is that the HTC One will not win too many contests in the camera front and to look elsewhere.

The HTC One is a solid phone, if you're a hard core gamer even though the graphics aren't the best at all. But it's a supreme performer. That's were its real strength lies, processing power and it's design.

For someone who's primary concern is camera, it's not the best bet. That's the honest thing to say to the OP but instead the responses have tried to psyche him into believing something else.

I wouldn't recommend the Z to a hard core gamer even though I know it performs well with most games because I know they're other phones like the HTC One and S4 which will perform better. The Zs essentially the phone for anyone looking for the best multimedia experience owing to its supreme video playback capabilities.

I would recommend the s4 to people looking for the smartest phone on the market with the most features. I only put the htc above the S4 in gaming because it has an LCD display. The loss of clarity and detail I spoke of is even worse on amoled screens.

Don't know what other camera took the other pic but I'm pretty certain it's not a recent flagship camera. Probably some creepy feature phone with 2mp camera. I don't think any high end phone would take such pics. Not even the nexus 4

Well if troll is someone with a different take on things then I happily confess to being one.

These devices should be considered in the round and that's all I'm doing.

I said it before, I'll provide the evidence to back up my claims if you want. Although I suspect most of you don't want to see such evidence.

The last time I posted a video link here comparing the video playback quality of the phones, I got a ban for it. So much for free speech eh?

If you want the evidence, I'll provide the links. I'm talking of facts here and not fabrications.

I don't know how drawing attention to a particular phones flaws can be considered trolling.

I've looked at all three devices in detail and I've concluded that the HTC One is the best choice for gaming because LCD has better image quality than amoled so the graphics look better on the One than the s4. The graphics may look best on the Sony display but contrary to what you hear most reviews say about the Sony's gaming performance, in my experience, it's fine but once it heats up, there's an incredible degree of lag that can be noticed. It's happens on alien vs Predator a lot and sometimes even on real racing so the Z falls out of the running for the hardcore gamers. Where the Z is king is in its multimedia capabilities and connectivity. You can connect that phone to just about anything in a variety of ways. Game pads, external hard drives, usb hosts, tv's, stereos, consoles, blue ray players and much much more.

The Samsung is the undisputed king of functionality. I might not like the look of touchwiz but it knocks 6 bells out of the Sony software, in fact it's like Tyson vs Spinks all over again. Sense 5 doesn't fare much better too against touchwiz. It's by far and away the most user friendly user interface with by far and away the most features.

Different phones for different folks and that's the simple truth of the matter. All this nonsensical hype needs to stop. It's degrading android to iPhone level. Android devices should speak for themselves and leave all that crap to Apple.

For the reasons outlined above, I've always maintained that the S4 will outsell its rivals by a huge margin again. The Sony crowd don't like to hear this and I'm sure you guys won't either but the simple truth is where the S4 is strong, is where it really really matters as far as mass appeal goes. We can hide behind the claims that it's all down to marketing but you've got to have something to market in the first place. The iPhone was different because of its users ignorance. I mean one of my colleagues was surprised to know that you can also get Twitter and Facebook on android devices. He thought it was purely an iPhone thing. Imagine that! No surprises he's not going to be getting another iPhone in future.

I'm guessing you can slowly begin to see a picture of the kind of conversation I like to have.

I'm not interested in joining any group to praise their beloved brands. Not in the Sony section and most certainly not in here.

To entertain myself, I have to push you guys into that sort of discussion. The only thing they want to discuss in the Sony forum is how the Z is the best thing since slice bread and only thing it seems you guys are interested in is proclaiming the 2nd coming of the messiah, the htc One lol.

Oh God! Give me strength.
