GS4 vs the One - GSM Arena

Well you are lucky being 15 and addicted to tech isn't easy!

Posted via Android Central App

when you are 15 there are much more important things to be addicted to. Then again, way back when I was 15 there wasn't much in the world of mobile tech to be real excited about.

I don't have any extra lines. Just an addiction and fortunate enough to be able to feed that addiction. I know that sounds rather douchetastic but it certainly isn't meant to. Some people spend their money on trucks, golf, whatever as hobbies. Me, I like cell phones. As long as I buy my wife the occasional purse or whatever it usually doesn't cause any issues.

I have just as much of an addiction to my phone as the next nerd, and plenty of funds to supply my habit, but just can't justify spending money on something that I wouldn't use properly. Whether it be $1 or $1000, I don't think I'd put that second phone to good use.

Trust me, I'm trying to find a reason. I'd love to have two different personal phones for ****s and giggles.

continued education, perhaps?

I gave up my country club membership when we had our first kid as I rarely have time to golf anymore. I guess it was replaced with a different hobby that wasn't quite as taxing on my time.

I remember this comparison from a while back. I always knew that GSMArena was a reliable source of information. They did an excellent job with the camera review too. They even exposed the fact that the HTC One takes worst pictures than the HTC One in low light settings (See below...and no that isn't a typo..the merged shots were taken with the HTC One):

If you're looking for a reason to carry a second phone, consider changing your choice of that second phone. I would have zero use for the One along side my S4, but I do have use for my Nexus 4. In the next week or so, I'll have the latest version of Android to play with. So regardless of what phone gets released that year, I'll always have the latest Nexus to play around with the changes that Android gets.

Yeah I was really surprised by that.
But I've read from photographers that it really doesn't matter much cause nobody prints these photos except review websites lol.

Amen brother. Honestly I think I might hold out for the Nexus 5 considering it's right around the corner, but you totally read my mind.

Especially if Google and LG (if that's who is making the next one) price it so aggressively, it'll be even more of a bonus.

Last year I was only with Rogers and always had two Super Phones.

I do have two lines, signed up with Bell last September because of their mobile TV. I love NFL, besides the two games I get to watch on mobile TV I get Red Zone which cost over $30 with Rogers. I also have another 6GB of Data which is the reason why I got it, we don't get Unlimited up here. I'm paying $100 for both which is amazing because I know a few who are paying that much for just ONE LINE.

Yes, I do show it off. I can admit it.

"Did you get the S4 or the One." I love their reaction when I take both out. LOL

I want to throw a phone in the mix here, the HTC DNA which is every bit as good as, if not better than the HTC ONE IMHO.

What I like most about the DNA vs the ONE :

5" 1080p display
Full glass face
Wireless Charging
Polycarbonate curved back, this phone is very comfortable in the hand, and like the Sammy fans say, plastic is much more durable (I dropped my phone from about 4 feet onto a tile floor and not even a scratch).

Where the ONE is better than the DNA :

Processor Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 1.7 GHZ vs Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro 1.5 GHZ
Camera (4 ultra pixel vs 8 mp)
IR Blaster
Sense 5 (supposed to come to the DNA later this year)
ZOE
More internal memory options

Then we might as well throw in the Nexus 4 and the OPPO Find 5

True, the N4 and S4 have completely different strong points, while the S4 and the One tend to excel in similar areas.

Exactly why I'm taking Eric's advice and going with a Nexus device. Just going to wait for the new Nexus 5.
