Htc One vs GS4 Video !!!! WARNING: VERY BAISED

[enik]

His lips are moving like a Godzilla movie! That being said I have never seen anything of value come out of android authority, so I don't take them seriously anyways.

Re: Htc One vs GS4 Video !!!! WARNING: VERY BIASED

I'm a strong proponent of making up your own mind. Strong. I chose the One because it fit what I wanted, and because folks who I trust, and who think similarly to me, had a multitude of great things to say about it.

Unfortunately, life doesn't always present an opportunity to collect first hand information. Sometimes you must trust others. To disregard that, and that's what I take from your comments (so correct me if I'm wrong), would be silly IMHO. You should use all sources available to you, then make up your mind.

And as a personal note, I'm friendly with several folks here. Not all share my interests, such as my ardent passion for the Nexus and AOSP. My friends here are not "ins," nor do I represent any AC opinion. I'm my own man and wish to be treated as such. I don't get paid by AC, HTC, whatever. I wish, because I'd be making bank, but alas .

Fair enough. I thought a lot websites "special members" and their higher ups worked accordingly like some I've had the pleasure of meeting, I guess not. But I also suppose that that in and of itself is a good thing. And no, I'm not saying that at all. I'm saying actually become familiar with each device you're interested in, gather some opinions by yourself, and if you need to read some reviews before going out to spend hard earned money. The average joe, whom of which buys the most phones, isn't as affluent in phones as I'm assuming a former advisor would be or myself, it's fine for that person. But I'd also advise that person not to let said review be the sole factor into their whole buying experience.

Ya honestly, how can Screen, and Design be better on S4? Less pixels and Bluish white better than properly calibrated screen and more pixels?!
How's design better? Even Touchwiz vs Sense 5.... I'm not even gonna go there.

Re: Htc One vs GS4 Video !!!! WARNING: VERY BIASED

The moment the design round was a tie I knew it was going to be a biased comparison. And the display round should have been a tie if anything. I seriously can't. I even like the S4, and the iPhone 5 for that matter, but you can't just deny the truth. But I guess that's what bias is all about.

Re: Htc One vs GS4 Video !!!! WARNING: VERY BIASED

ITS biased becase he says the design is a draw which the one clearly wins hands down
he says the screen is better because its 5 inches and then he says performance is better because is scored a bit higher on the one says the battery is better because it has a bigger capacity and removeable.
Many other things.
I think he is paidd by samsung.

You do realize that your opinion is not fact. I don't care at all for the large speaker grills and large bezel on the one and I'm not the only one.

And then you rattle off all of those reasons where the s4 beat the one in the review and say he was payed? You fanboys really do the one a disservice. You take what should be a great phone, and a positive review and then just start whining about trolls and Samsung must be paying everyone.

There isn't anything I fundamentally disagree with in the video. However, I think the point system he used is a bit misleading.

For example, the ONE's display get '0' points where as the S4 gets '1' point. Even if you accept that bigger is better, it would make more sense to give the ONE '0.9' points and the S4 '1' points.

I think if the point system was more fine grained, the end result would be much more closer than is indicated by the 7-4 score he came up with.

I agree, I think a reasonable person watches this and takes away that the phones are very evenly matched.

Maybe when he said "WARNING: VERY BAISED" he was taking about himself...

The features in the s4 are gimmicky, and some even make it sluggish in performance. Samsung needs to do more optimizing rather than throwing a bunch of cool software perks on the phone. The HTC one is possibly the fastest phone I've ever held in my hands because HTC optimized their hardware better than Samsung did. The camera is better on the one because 90% of all pictures you take with your phone go directly to Facebook Twitter or Instagram so they don't need to be huge. I'm not impressed with the s4, Samsung had the world in its hand and ended up not delivering. HTC wins this battle, maybe Samsung can come back with the note 3, but for now the ONE is the phone to have

or maybe the OP thinks the definintion of "bias" means, fair, intelligent, concise & reasonable?... cuz to me that's what that review was.

Just because someone is not blown away by the One doesn't make them biased : ) I personally thought it was ugly as all get out when i FIRST saw it, but after Alex Dobie's review i came to appreciate its outward beauty..I've alays loved HTC, but the internals of that phone just present too many compromises fo me.....However, personally (and i KNOW i am going out on a limb here...) i think the Droid DNA is HTC's finest phone yet. With its slim 5 inch form factor, full 1080p res, & beautiful waterfall edge glass, had the sides been white instead of red like the Butterfly, had the word "Droid" in its name been nowhere to be found AND had Verizon NOT not gotten its grubby little hands ANYWHERE near it, that would have been my dream phone...lol

Re: Htc One vs GS4 Video !!!! WARNING: VERY BIASED

Whining about other people whining (that's what you are doing right now) is just as bad

Before you go for the snarky response check my tone and compare it to the op's. I'm not capitalizing everything with multiple exclamation points and making wild accusations. If that's your only counter argument then I'll assume I made my point.

And I make it a habit of punting out unsubstantiated claims and weak arguments. People try to sway others on hear with false information and bogus arguments and it's just not right.

If you can't take your phone narrowly losing in a review without screaming troll then just don't bother getting on the forum at all

As an owner of the DNA I will agree I have all but got over its limited storage and battery it is a well built phone with a stunning screen and nearly lag free

Or you could quit following me around. Unless you want me to post your history in this thread as well.

And don't make things so personal, there's no need, we're all here talking about phones, keep some perspective

Re: Htc One vs GS4 Video !!!! WARNING: VERY BIASED

It's better or worse depending on what you're looking for in the phone.

I for one, am looking for a phone find more use in the good speakers, better low-light capable camera and aluminum body. I don't fancy the air gestures or the eye tracking stuff that the S4 offers, so the HTC One beats the S4 easily for my personal use. You probably have different needs/uses and the features that the S4 offers, might cater to you needs better than the One. So, I don't think one phone 'beats' the other, or puts the kids to bed. It's just about what features are more important to you, when both phones are this good.
Disclaimer: I purchased an HTC One.

Definitely agreeing with this
I'm getting the S4 because I want the MicroSD Card for easier file transfers, and I have been pretty fond of the removable battery since my GS3, switching from Nexus
I also love all the camera features more than the HTC One's camera

Re: Htc One vs GS4 Video !!!! WARNING: VERY BIASED

All my android phones have been Samsung....with that said any android fan should want HTC to do better than Samsung on flagships this year. Samsung won't be going anywhere, I just want HTC to stick around and this phone is their chance.

I am telling all my non techy friends to get the One.

Re: Htc One vs GS4 Video !!!! WARNING: VERY BIASED

it's perfectly boring.

 

[SeanBlader]

His video review was pretty fair - he did gave proper praise to HTC's features even though he preferred GS4.

He did however give the battery category to Samsung based soley on the battery capacity, he didn't bother to take into account if manufacturer enhancements drained more, if the camera, or processor used more battery, let alone did the screen or speakers use more battery. He basically glossed over the whole battery discussion, and you can't say there's not a duscussion to be had, he just GAVE it to Samsung. That's like saying a Tesla Roadster is better because it has a bigger battery than a Mazda Miata, despite one having a 200 mile IDEAL range, and the other having no problem going 500 miles.

 

[Golfdriver97]

It does all come down to preference. I prefer having a removable battery and an SD card slot. The removable battery because I have had bad flashes of custom ROMs where the only way I could start over was pulling the battery. The SD card because I like keeping my images, music, videos and backup files off of my internal drive.

I admit his reasons for giving the edge to the S4 for a removable battery is biased, but in performance he did do a benchmark test, and the results are displayed. I really hope this phone does well for HTC, paving the way for them to gain some market share.

 

[Sorniel M Davila]

This is a very biased video.
