The HTC One will be a hit, pass Galaxy S4 for ONE reason..

[anon5664829]

I Think that point is u keep mentioning iPhone 5 in an android forum where EVERYONE knows iPhones are outdated in software tech......lol
Yea I'll put android 2.3 in my gs3, let's see how fast that is! Hahaha....

No, it is not outdated.stop being such a fanboy

 

[anon5664829]

My point is it can use the ram.
It's been called the fasted android ever, it will be faster than the nexus 4.

No it won't be. And it is NOT using up RAM the software is finally fully optimized for the hardware. Do you even know what RAM is for?

I'm going to disagree with that. iOS, at least until June (and we don't know what happens then) is really close to 20-26 months behind Android. When iOS was compared to Froyo, and even somewhat in Gingerbread, there was a debate about which was better in terms of total functionality (not just the one perspective of easy for your grandmother to pick up and just use). Since Ice Cream Sandwich pulled ahead of iOS they haven't had an answer, and both builds of Jelly Bean are vastly superior to Ice Cream Sandwich. As of today, Android is, as a software system, way ahead. That being said, there are a lot of examples of poor execution with customized versions of Android that take it down a peg or 10 pegs from it's potential. This is why I keep saying that I hope iOS brings the heat this year... because right now Android is competing only against it's own imagination, not against the market. There are no other serious contenders right now in terms of software innovation. I hope you bear in mind the distinction between, selling well, being a great device, and being a more advanced software package.

There are millions and millions of people with iPhones and they love them and 90% of them have the right device. There are around 3 times as many people with Android phones and they love them and 70% of them are right. I'd guess 95% of mainstream consumers would be happy with either or, switching between, etc. as long as they never knew the other existed, because mainstream consumers are looking for basic functionality plus some nifty tricks the device can do. Power users, such as those that develop software, or are heavily invested in the thought processes attached to that industry, ought to look at the larger picture of meaning within their art.

(Percentages used in the 2nd paragraph are intended to convey context and may not be statistically accurate... there is no survey that i know of that actually measures that. They're more my estimation from reading and talking to people about devices, software and the philosophies, if any, attached to that conversation).

It still isn't outdated for me. I do EVERYTHING on iOS that I do on android although Android makes certain tasks easier. As an iOS user I can tell you Android still hasn't caught up with App quality and I wish google would be more strict regarding holo. Also all the email clients on android are **** ugly and don't have swipe down to refresh unlike iOS mail. I will always try and be OS neutral but will correct posts as a result that may make me look biased.

I don't disagree with anything you just said. I actually like the stock Gmail app, but swipe to refresh would make sense.

Also I don't know about you, but I would love an all inboxes option in the stock email app(Nexus 4, so googles stock email client) iOS does this and I may be just stupid but I can't find that option on my N4, it would be great if you could help me.

No need to be rude.

And yes it will open and run games quicker than a n4. Because of the RAM coupled with the CPU/GPU.

With more RAM memory, you don't have to swap the apps out of RAM to disk, which is a much slower task.

And I happen to agree that one of the things Apple actually does well is the software/hardware mix, it runs games very well with lower ram and processors.

Apologies for sounding rude.
But the HTC One and N4 have the same amount of ram and the HTC Ones better processor does not mean it will be faster then the N4 because android is so damn well optimized for the N4.

Ok

I never admitted it was outdated, I put it quotation marks, it's your words not mine. Besides I don't want to get into this fanboy discussion because I like iOS and android, I can use them both and be happy and that's all that matters to me.

I don't know about you two but I make all of my decisions based off of the logo on the phone and completely ignore the trivial details like screens or... operation systems.

Everyone lighten up and smile, it's Friday!

Excuse me? I base my phone choices of by OS which is why I haven't touched WP8 or BB10, you do not seem to understand iOS still has advantages in certain areas.

Ignorance at its best.

 

[Buckeyes]

I just picked up the One today. Great phone. Build quality is second to none. That being said, I'm going to check out the SG4 when it comes out. Have to keep my options open.

Should get a HTC lone with its built in IR blaster that way you wouldn't of had to reach for the remote
