HTC One has strong(er) radios

[Awake]

I went from the HTC EVO LTE to the S3 to the Note II to the HTC One. I've noticed the HTC One has stronger radios as opposed to the S3 and the Note II. The HTC One can pick up the wifi signal from my home wifi several homes down, whereas I did not get any signal on the S3 and Note II from that same distance. At work we have the top 3 floors of a 12 story building, whether I'm inside or outside the HTC One immediately picks up our company wifi, not the case for the S3 and Note II. I rarely got a 4G signal on the S3 and Note, the HTC One picks up the signal right away. In my personal experience I can say the HTC One does have stronger radios.

HTC and Motorola, in my experience, tend to hold a better signal than Samsung devices. I've heard Samsung likes to run their radios at a lower power setting for battery reasons but I don't know for sure. That being said I've got a sprint one, note II, galaxy s3, victory, and a photon q here. The HTC and Motorola hover around -96 dBm and the Samsung models hover around the -110's.

I'd like to get an actual reason for this but I'm not an engineer.

Yup. No one ever confused Samsung with incredible signal strength. Ask anyone with a Verizon Galaxy Nexus .

This is good to hear.
Hopefully TMO will get the black version soon.

I went through 4. By the latest radio set, it was OK. But not amazing by any stretch of the means.
