Previous HTC One was outsold four times over by Galaxy S4

Re: Previous HTC one was outsold four times over by Gs4

This is very very sad. HTC makes fantastic phone. Samsung...not so much. Yet, because they spent hundreds of millions flooding the market with advertising folks will buy it "just because". Pathetic...

A lot like popular music, just because it sells more doesn't mean it's better. There are obviously a lot of people with bad taste, or people who really don't care.

I think HTC is doing more than trying, they are knocking it out of the park. Higher sales don't necessarily mean it's a better device, if that was the case then Miley Cyrus (or whatever popular music you young kids listen to) would be the best musician on the planet.

I didn't say better device did I? .

Bad taste in your opinion.. Just because they may not share your opinion doesn't mean they are wrong with their choice. I like the Note 3 for two main reasons.. Screen size and I like swapping my batteries so I'm always mobile... But that's my needs and not everyone needs that so those factors may be pointless to them... Doesn't make them wrong they just have a different opinion and different needs for their phone.

I did have the M7 and loved it. I would like an M8 as well. I love most phones.. Just the Note has my heart right now .

I was referring to popular music, not phones. I am a musician and these "artists" today are not very good, musically speaking that is.

I personally don't like the UI and gimmick features on the S series. Since I got the M7 last year, I will keep buying HTC phones in the years to come as they really pay attention to what consumers want.

What do consumers want in your opinion?

I didn't imply Samsung is low quality, I'm talking about a comparison between the Ones and Galaxys. They are both recognized as high end devices with great features. It all comes down to what I said in the last post, IMO of course.

If HTC made TV's, refrigerators, etc...you could see a much closer competition in the phone sale battle because people would feel more comfortable with purchasing a brand they know. Unfortunately it takes word of mouth for the most part to get the M8 sold and it's not wholly their fault. I actually commend them for deciding to take on Apple, Samsung and LG in the phone market.

Actually I would think of 'DROID'

100% agree and most people I know also think of droid

It is a broad question. However, for example, HTC M8 has SD card slot and higher battery capacity. Simple UI of Sense 6 has proven that the market favor it. They still need to improve a lot, but they are heading to the right direction.

Don't mean to come at you, but how has the market proven to favor sense UI?

There is not statistical survey yet, but from my personal observation, reviews from both editors like The Verge, Engedget and users always say good things about the new Sense 6 UI. I personally prefer it more than the vanilla KitKat.

I wouldn't say that editors are representatives of the general smartphone market in anyway.

I'm not much a fan of vanilla kit kat myself, I prefer skins because I can always go stock or root if I want

I agree. But if you read the user reviews on Engadget, you may see more realistic opinions from the real users. I am using ARHD ROM on both my M7 and M8, so I love Blinkfeed and other features of Sense 6

Re: Previous HTC one was outsold four times over by Gs4

I would guess that the most accurate view of the 'normal consumer' would be reading comments from reviews of non-phone websites like Forbes, etc..

I consider anyone that goes to a review site to be a hardcore tech fan, so I wouldn't really consider them the general consumer. The reason for this is that I think if you were to ask 10 people you know if they heard of the verge or phone arena or android central, maybe 2-3 would respond with a yes.

So I'm not sure if they would be considered part of the general marker, just my opinion

Re: Previous HTC one was outsold four times over by Gs4

Except the dual flash is nothing new, a 5MP 'selfie' cam is neat, but again, nothing new or technically radical, and the dual lens system, well, let's just say they could have invested a bit more time on it before releasing it. And by the way, Lytro made this kind of photography 'popular', not HTC.

My statement was in regard to the idea that they cut corners, which they clearly didn't. You're bringing up other matters and putting words in my mouth just for the sake of bashing the M8. I'm not interested in entertaining an argument with you. I bought the M8 because I love the cam. And, I say that as someone who loves photography and spent endless hours in the darkroom back in college.
