Hello
I've been with android for a while now since the my touch 3g on tmobile.
I've also been following android central a while but I'm new to the forums.
Right now I have the Samsung galaxy epic 4g (not the touch) but im looking to upgrade to either the htc one or S4 really soon.
Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.
Like Meyer said, it's hard to say. I would suggest getting the specs for both phones and list them side by side on a single sheet of paper in black ink. With different color inks, say blue and red, circle or cross out features that are deal makers and breakers. Then, with your list pointing to your device, go to a store and mess around with that one first. You may be surprised that what's in black and white doesn't always mean anything in the real world.
My personal opinion: I like removable SD cards. I like having an inexpensive way to expand my storage to potentially double what my device can have. I typically store music, pictures, video, and ROM backups on my SD card, and leave my internal for Apps (Apps tend to load faster from internal storage, thus why Android 4.0+ doesn't allow app transfer to SD cards). I also like having removable batteries. I have had times putting custom ROMs on my E4GT (Sprint Galaxy S2) encountering bad flashes, boot loops, and the only thing saving me is pulling the battery to start over in recovery.
So, my own list points me to the S4. I am in no way saying the HTC One is a bad phone. It is an awesome phone. I have held it, played with it, and I can see why many people like it. I am actually glad HTC came out with such a powerful phone. Hopefully, this gives HTC some breathing room for the next fiscal quarter or three. Because I think that someone new to the Smartphone market, or anyone who is about to upgrade for that matter, should have a choice in what phone to get. And that choice shouldn't be Samsung or Apple.
