So I have had my s3 for over a year, and am getting a bit bored. Saw that the htc one is up for a great price at best buy, so doing some hard thinking about upgrading. However, worried that this will be more of a lateral move, and maybe I should wait for 2014 for a true upgrade from current s3. Questions...
1 how is the battery? Anyone had both phones and can speak to the differences? My s3 isn't getting the best battery life these days, but I do use it a lot, and would keep same usage on the htc one.
2. I know the speakers sound great on the hc, but what about with headphones? Is there a noticeable difference between the two with headphones on?
3. The lack of an sd card is a big concern, since I do have a 64 gig card full of music. I now use all access so think it won't be as big a deal, but my s3 is a 32 gb, and I've got less than 8 gigs left now, so not a lot of room for the future, so worried I may start to get tight in two years if I swap
4. I take a ton of pics, but many are outdoors. Concerned about the outside camera quality vs s3. I know the low light is superior on htc one, but how is the outside quality for shots?
5. Finally, is it more of a lateral move? I love the design of it, but for functionality, it does feel a bit like I am upgrading too soon, since the s3 isn't a bad phone. The s4 is boring from an s3 perspective, but with the latest htc woes in the news, plus the fairly equal functionality, I just worry I'm only doing it for the excitement of getting a new device, which may wear off.
Thanks in advance!
