Re: This is why the Galaxy S4 is better than the HTC One
I'd be more concerned with how he got a One running ICS.

I have. But then again, I'm not a Samsung fanboy so I don't see bias where none exists.

Re: This is why the Galaxy S4 is better than the HTC One
I have the s4 while my wife has the One. Trust me, the s4 is the better phone. The Super Amoled screen offers a better display than the lcd3 on the htc. Battery life is quite a bit better on the s4 also. Also, all those features you said dont work actuslly do work, perfectly, and I use all of them. The One is a nice phone from htc but it falls way short of the s4.

Re: This is why the Galaxy S4 is better than the HTC One
As a neutral observer I disagree with your assessment. The HTC has it's own strengths. Looking at both phones in a broader overall picture I see neither as being a clear winner over the other. To say either "falls way short" is a gross exaggeration.

I thought Samsung had to stop paying people to do what you just did?

Re: This is why the Galaxy S4 is better than the HTC One
I have compared both phones in direct sunlight and general bright conditions outdoors. The S4 is totally useless in direct light. The HTC's display is amazing even in bright light. In all other respects, they are worthy competitors. Both are great phones. But if outdoor use is important to the user, the HTC clearly is the better choice.

Re: This is why the Galaxy S4 is better than the HTC One
My general rule of thumb is to beware of statements that begin with "trust me". Both phones are OK and about on par with each other. I don't give extreme favoritism viewpoints of either phone any credence

Re: This is why the Galaxy S4 is better than the HTC One
Look...im not loyal to either Samsung or HTC. My first android phone was the HTC Inspire...great phone. My second android phone was the Galaxy S2....great phone. After reading reviews and holding both phones side by side and using them..I decided to go with the HTC One. That doesn't mean the S4 sucks...cause it doesn't...but people will generally say whatever they have to to validate their purchases to themselves.
Both are pretty awesome...each besting the other at various things.
These are the two most powerful smartphones on the planet right now...and I honestly don't think you could go wrong with either one.

Re: This is why the Galaxy S4 is better than the HTC One
I have the S4 and I am really happy. If the HTC has no SD card and you can't replace the battery with a spare then that would be an absolute NO for me. I don't like the big super sized batteries, I carry a spare if I think I need it. No SD card? That is crazy, unless the HTC has 100gb (32gb S4 + 64gb SD = 96gb) of built in memory? I am getting more and more used to the cool gesture features, not sure about gimmicky when everything is usable?
The one big thing I am really impressed with is battery life, I had a S2 and it was not even close with S4.

Re: This is why the Galaxy S4 is better than the HTC One
Thanks for stating the facts, why would anyone want ICS? After getting JB on my S2 and then a newer version on my S4 JB makes ICS look like Win95 to Win7 or 8.

Re: This is why the Galaxy S4 is better than the HTC One
If you add the "support sd card" in the S4 pro points
Then you have to add the "32 giga" in the One pro points
If you want to compare the one with the S4 32 gigas
then you have to add the lot more expense price in the "against points" of the S4
and still you will have less limited availaible storage of the s4

Re: This is why the Galaxy S4 is better than the HTC One
The OP left out at least a couple of important points...
* Which phone (screeen) has better visability outdoors, and which phone has better sounding speakers?
I currently have the Galaxy S3 and am not at all impressed with it's screen when outdoors. Based on past experience, and comparing the HTC EVO LTE against the Samsung GS3, I suspect that the HTC One will probably exceed in that category. And based on current reviews, I suspect the HTC One speakers are far better than the S4

Re: This is why the Galaxy S4 is better than the HTC One
sadly true. I can't understand why they can't figure this problem out. It's really a bigger problem than most people care to admit.

Re: This is why the Galaxy S4 is better than the HTC One
I have both and love them both. I have the 64 GB developer edition of the One and was very impressed with the phone when I received it. When I first got my hands on the GS4, I wasn't really impressed. After using it for a few days, it really grew on me. I can't explain why, but it's a better fit. Some of the features really don't work well (S-Translate is horrible compared to Google Translate), but the overall package is solid. I also prefer the way it fits in my hand and the lighter weight doesn't make me feel like I'm going to drop it when I shift it in my hand. That said, I don't like the glossy, slick coating on the plastic.
In low light photography, the One wins. In overall detail, especially zoomed, the GS4 wins. The GS4 lags in places, whereas the One is buttery smooth at all times. Battery is pretty close, but I find the GS4 to drain more when idle and last longer during heavy use.
People who insist that an SD card slot is necessary have issues. You can't install apps on external memory, so it's really only good for photos, music, and videos. You NEED internal storage and the GS4 16gb model really doesn't have enough. That said, I do like the option of the removable battery and the GS4 charges roughly twice as fast as the One. So, when I'm traveling, if I were to take the One, not only would I have to tether it to an external battery pack when it got low, I'd have to leave it that way for hours. I wish HTC had at least allowed the phone to charge faster. That's one thing Apple did right when they sealed the battery in the iPhone. With the GS4, you get the best of both worlds (replaceable and faster charging).
I'll probably go back and forth for a while, but I'm leaning toward the GS4 right now and I can't really explain why. I like the screen better on the GS4, too, and I didn't expect that.

Re: This is why the Galaxy S4 is better than the HTC One
If you use your phone and take pictures but really videos you will want a sd card. 30 minute video is over 4gb. So do a few videos on the one and then see if you want one

Re: This is why the Galaxy S4 is better than the HTC One
My One is a 64 Gig Dev model, so I don't think that will be a problem.
One other difference I noticed between the two: You can pause video on the GS4 and resume, which is very nice. On the One, you can only stop and restart. Recorded audio seems to be louder on the GS4, too.
