This is why I think the Galaxy S4 is better than the HTC One

Re: This is why the Galaxy S4 is better than the HTC One

They could not keep it in stock because they did not build enough, and the price is cheap.

You can sell it for double the price because again there is not enough stock, and the phone is not available worldwide.

So you are agreeing with me that Apple is not the only company that can get away with selling a phone without a micro SD card or removable battery? That is what I was responding to. Not making enough means they were selling pretty well. Many people would have paid a lot more for the N4 to get it so Thaks for agreeing with me that they have sold a ton of N4's all without micro SD card slots and removable batteries...

I did not buy it because it was cheap, I bought it because it is a Nexus.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think I am

I'm just going to say your wrong, only because you are a fan boy that pops up everywhere spewing negativity towards any phone not named galaxy S......, basically you have no idea what you are talking about, yippee, the galaxy is the best phone ever! Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, i should tell everyone! I'm hoping Samsung comes out with a "love making port" on the S 5 just so you have something other to do than troll! :banghead:

Worthless post for those of us who use SD cards for nothing but music, of which I have a veritable sh!t ton.

Nope. All the points he made apply no matter what you use it for.

I'm picking up a plastic galaxy S4 to go along with my BMW M3. Because I don't like my car made of plastic. Duh

Me too! Do me a favor and call me when the 500GB sd card comes in stock ok? Whether 16, 32, or 64 it all makes no difference to me because it's like dropping a penny in a pond for my music collection. I'll still be swapping my play lists out the same amount of time whether I have removable storage or not.

Then go to the HTC One forum and see why the HTC One is better... back and forth... back and forth. Samsung's media hype is definitely "better."

You are wrong, the HTC One also has the dev model, "Creative features" my ass!, How is the camera better?, ONe has LED notifier, Micro-SD is dead, Faster processor- no just no.

Re: This is why the Galaxy S4 is better than the HTC One

How in the world are people saying the S4's camera is better than the One's because it has more megapixels? This is wrong. Megapixels do not determine picture quality! More megapixels does not mean that the camera will be better!

After a point more mega pixels are bad as the add "noise to the photo.

Re: This is why the Galaxy S4 is better than the HTC One

I agree with you Hustleman! That would be like renting a luxury hotel room and stripping off the luxury amenities after, lol!

P.S. - Was going to do a suped up car being stripped to stock analogy but didn't want the AOSP camp getting their panties twisted so I went with the latter, lol!

Have you ever used stock Android it blows a way touch-fial I am sorry but that is the truth.

What he posted is absolutely true. MicroSD is dead in android and Samsung has a horrible implentation of it. If you truly have that much music, then you'll also know how frustrating load times on microSD cards can be when they're full.

Case in point: on my old S3 I had about 30 gigs of music on my SD card. Every single time I went into the music player the lag was ridiculous as the phone tried to read the card and as I scrolled through the library at the same time. It was so bad that I had to actually stop using music on the device.

Re: This is why the Galaxy S4 is better than the HTC One

I personally am disappointed that the HTC one didn't get a micro sd card slot, I don't know about other androids as this is my first but I store and run all my apps and games from it in addition to my music and photos. It's not a deal breaker but I'd prefer the option. Plus if my phone dies my stuff doesn't die with it especially if I hent done a most recent cloud back up and I'd rather use my existing ?32 64gb card over paying an extra ?100 (just guestimating based on apples method lol) for the same amount of storage. It's also quicker to transfer all my stored data over to a new phone by popping the card right in over waiting to download everything from the cloud or waiting an hour for your data to transfer from the pc

Re: This is why the Galaxy S4 is better than the HTC One

Sense 5 is a HUGE pro for the HTC. Sorry but touchwiz cant touch it...see what I did there? I am still not impressed at all by the s4. They need to get away from those ugly SAMOLED screens. Not to mention, the US isnt getting the gimmicky "octacore" processor but instead get quadcore, which I have had since early january in my DNA.

Re: This is why the Galaxy S4 is better than the HTC One

This...sucked. Why can't people ever connect the dots when they think anymore, was it really hard to put some thought behind your list and flesh things out while making more sense of your list?

Better design and front facing camera....on who's merit, say something. Better stock UI...why, why not highlight something they do well here.

Faster processor....does that mean it has been taken advantage of, or you will use it? Do you need a faster one to send texts...how does this help? Why is the camera better, and what makes the features better if you don't use them? Is bigger better when it comes to display, what about resolution, aspect ratio, and how colors as shown?

LED is generally a good thing to have, but what creative features does the HTC have....don't tell me none.

Bigger battery...so what, if it has a bigger screen it needs a bigger battery right? So it is only natural, doesn't make it a good point, usually a smaller battery is better, it means you are doing more with less.

When did swift key become great? Sounds like a cop out for typing and becoming a better human being.

Also, you have mentioned nothing about reliability, warranty, update schedule....think more buddy

I'm not saying the HTC One is a bad phone, it's a great phone and it's one of the best phones now

Great screen, Awesome UI, and I really do like the HTC Zoe thing is cool and I love the new Sence, and amazing speakers.. But other than that...That's it really

No option for extra phone storage, even if some don't need it, the option makes it much better, so they force no extra storage (besides cloud)

No removable battery, I have already learned my lesson with that one

SwiftKey IS great... Have u not used it?

Bigger Screen needs bigger battery? Hmmm not really

Faster processor makes a difference when playing games and the more the better, even if it's only by 2


I only did a quick comparison I'm not doing a full review

Re: This is why the Galaxy S4 is better than the HTC One

I have to clear this up:

The Galaxy S4 (US version) is running a 1.9Ghz Snapdragon S4 Pro - NOT the Snapdragon 600 in the HTC One. The Snapdragon 600 is faster clock for clock than the S4 Pro, that's why Samsung is running it @ 1.9Ghz to give it a chance against the 1.7Ghz 600.

Re: This is why the Galaxy S4 is better than the HTC One

People care to much about phones now a days lol..

Each phone will be good. I have zero doubt the S4 will be great and the HTC One will be great as well.. Each will have features unique to it.. Because if it was the exact same then it wouldn't matter what phone you get.

So Sheesh. Guys chill.. You can't argue someone's opinion. That's like me trying to convince my one friend that Android is better than iPhone when he is a die hard Apple lover and his opinion will never be like mine... It's pointless.

Re: This is why the Galaxy S4 is better than the HTC One

Processor is negligible. Personally don't care for MicroSD. Camera better based on what? One doesn't have LED notifier? It should be like my One X where the LED is in the speaker grill. Saw it in one of the pics. Creative features are mostly gimmicks for me. Bigger battery doesn't mean better battery life.

If you're happy with the S4, great, but HTC One all the way for me.

Samsung Galaxy S4 will definitely win with it's specs but the design of the HTC is just amazing. Overall winner: Samsung Galaxy S4 - Proud to use all different Galaxy Series.

Not sure why folks keep making this claim: same cpu (on us model), same resolution, same amount of ram, camera at least based on preliminary shots is in HTCs favor, battery on sgs4 is slightly higher in capacity but based on radio strength and the larger display id be surprised if there would be a significant difference in battery life, sound and speakers likely in htc favor, removable battery and sdcard debatable but well give that one to Sammy, screen quality will probably come down to personal preference, slcd will be sharper and brighter, amoled will be more vibrant and possibly draw less power.. Etc etc.. In other words i fail to see the 'zomg the sgs4s hardware is so much better' arguments. It will be interesting to see how the octa cpu performs vs the s600.. But i guess from a US perspective that will matter little.
