Then why are you citing websites that claim the HTC ONE is the superior phone? "I can find ten online "websites" that say the one is better then the S4?" It doesn't make sense. Only sales figures will tell you what is the most popular, and in the consumer's view, best phone, not websites' evaluations.

I'm waiting for S5 vs Butterfly. Just heard about Butterfly. Now, that will be interesting.
Dude read the whole thread before you jump in. Some other guy listed a website stating the S4 was better then the one. So I said that means nothing I can find ten that say the opposite. Relax, sit back and read through the whole thread buddy

Meh. If I bought a phone to not root, it'd be an iPhone.

Sorry but you aren't very clear in your posts. Your explanation is illogical. But, I'll keep reading.
To me the HTC One as a concept is far superior to the S4. The Samsung played it safe with the same old, same old and resorted to what Samsung do best gimmicks and cheap quality.

Lol. Maybe most phone geeks. "Most" average phone users don't even know what the cloud is.

Precisely what is cheap about the S4? It actually costs more to build than an iPhone. Please be specific.

I would report the person who is forcing you read the posts in this thread to the authorities immediately!
Seriously, user error vs poor manufacturing build quality, apples to oranges. You should have left it somewhere else. But you threw the first pitch so,

and on and on and on............
Now go find poor build quality reports for the S4.
I have used the HTC One for 1 week before going back to ATT store and exchange for a GS4.
Reasons being:
1.I couldn't get enough details on the pictures I take with the One. Most of the photos I take are between 10am and noon somewhere outside, and that's where GS4's 13MP shines. HTC One's 4MP photos also look blurry on my 1440p screen(3.5MP).
2.The larger Screen(13% larger), I prefer AMOLED's more vibrant color as well. The darker black also looks better since I watch videos a lot in dark room or conditions(in a plane). HTC One's smaller screen looks even smaller when surrounded by the wide bezel around it.
3.HTC One's battery life is worse than GS4 from my experience(based on my usage model), most of my screen time are spent watching videos or reading ebooks(Google Play books have black background white text option) which is advantageous to an AMOLED display phone's battery life.
4. For $290 I can get a 16GB GS4, 64GB Samsung Micro SD card(10 year warranty, total of 68G Useable space) & A good case for my S4, while for $300 I can only get a HTC One 64GB(Total of about 55G useable space). Since I need the media storage space for my 50G of video I watch+ Photos/Podcasts/eBooks(need those on the plane so cloud is no go). This is pretty much a no brainer.
5.I prefer GS4's Size(shorter/wider) and button layout(power button on the side instead of top).
Things I still miss from HTC One:
The dual front facing speaker(Samsung need to figure out a way to have this for their next phone, I suggest remove the physical home button and put a speaker there, then enable to ear speaker up top to work for media playback).
Truth be told both are great phones, it just happens GS4 is the better fit for my usage model thus the better phone for me.

Oh no, another individual forced to read and participate in this thread! Somebody call the Avengers!
I didn't say they should, nor did I say that a manufacturer makes a phone perfect all the time. I'm agreeing with you. Foreign concept, yes. I said "many people" confuse the two. Hence people praising the phone for being metal over Samsung's plastic. That is build materials, not quality.

nice job. You seem to have coupled 200% more threads about One X Cracks then Ones. While I would love to sit here and continue to troll with you, I just lost the lust for it. Enjoy good sir
