By the looks of things, you can't go wrong with either phones so is there a need for this thread to keep on going

Made my choice gonna roll with the S4 on this one. The memory is slot is the deal breaker for me personally.

Oddly enough shipping say's I should have my phone tomorrow....Seems mad early though, anyone know if the S4 release got pushed up?

S4 is a great pick.

really though when you look at it how could anybody pick the HTC One over the S4 when the One is clearly inferior?

the S4 is known to have more features, better battery life, a larger screen, a removable battery, expandable memory, and it has become the premiere Android brand flagship.

i got suckered into going with HTC in the last go round with the EVO LTE coming out right before the S3 and being inferior and that won't ever happen again. i kinda feel sorry for the people that got suckered into the One because all they had to do was wait a few more weeks and get the better phone.

I dunno I almost pulled the trigger on a HTC one day before yesterday but changed my mind. None of these new phones excite me tbh. I'm due for an upgrade but don't know wtf to get :why:

Damn you're making this even tougher.

No clue what to do now :yeshrug:

Choice is such a difficult thing. Maybe I should just stick with Apple. :sadbron::sadbron:

there's no way in hell i'd walk into a store and have both the S4 and One available and walk out with a One. now if the choice was One or wait and i was too anxious to wait i could see having a One but looking at them both together its not even a contest. its clear which one has more features and is better.

this isn't to say the One is a bad phone its pretty close to the S4 but its still inferior to it. honestly i don't care about looks because i keep my phones in Outter boxes from the moment i get them till i get rid of them so when i sell they still look brand new.

While the gs3 was better than the evo lte, this year is a whole different ball game.

I dunno about you, but I am uninterested in a 5 inch phone. the screen size is subjective.
As far as battery life, see
Samsung Galaxy S4 battery life tests are done, here's how it did - GSMArena Blog
This shows that the battery life between the two is fairly equal (differences in minutes )
I owned plenty phones with removable batteries and to this day never walk around with any extras..nor do I know anybody who does.
The memory expansion is certainly a strong point, but 32gb isn't bad (ESP for $200! That amount gets you 16 on the S4)
Also, touchwiz is not really an attractive ui in my opinion.

when the battery life starts to decline on one device you can just go out and buy another battery and have a brand new one and on the other you'll likely have ti mail it back to the manufacturer or participate in what ever device replacement program they have landing you a refurbished phone.

i don't know about you but as i've owned cell phones the battery life a year into owning them isn't on par as it is when you first get them. by a year and a half they don't hold the charge the way they used to. my work phone droid incredible 2 can't even make it half a day after a year and a few months. when i first got it the phone made it a day easy.

Galaxy S4 is the perfect smartphone of my dreams to be honest. They have every single feature that I could think of.

That's because in the droid incredible, there was a lithium ion battery instead of a lithium polymer battery present in the One. Lithium polymer is more expensive and ages by charging cycle. Lithium ion ages even when not in use.

I gotta chance to mess around with the S4 today. I like it. You can't go wrong with either phone, but I prefer the S4. I feel it's more reliable.

While both phones pale in comparison to the Nokia Lumia 920, if your going to buy an Android phone STICK WITH SAMSUNG! HTC does a shyt job with updating their phones and these updates are what make Android a little less frustrating to use.
