Thread: Samsung Galaxy S4 versus HTC One - recommendations ?

I dont have either but my brother just bought an S4 and the screen is truly beautiful and with a 13mp camera .

Ive got the HTC one.

Got it on strength of battery life and the better camera software and setup

I also enjoyed the HTC's porting option which bought everything from my old phone over via WIFI, I only lost one play list and one save game

My daughter also has the HTC One, and she is very happy with it. Quality of the handset is pretty good, we live in a fringe reception area, and the battery life is still good.

Don't underestimate how important the ability to reach all areas of the screen is.

S4, no questions

SWMBO just got the S4. Pros - it is bloody brilliant at everything and very easy to use, even for a technological dunce like me. I thought the iPhone was good until I used this, now I think the iPhone is way past it.

The only negative is the HUGE size of it. If you want to watch video or play games on it, it is good, but try putting it in your pocket...

That's the only down side I can see. It is lighter than the iPhone too.

Would I personally get one? - no, just too big for me, no where to put it, but if that isn't an issue, then I can highly recommend it.

Hi,
I went through this a while back.
I would suggest visiting a few shops what sells these phones and talk to different people about them. Some will give you very good information. They will also ask you questions on what you will use it for and advise accordingly.

Watch out for phone reception too. Do a search on the net. I believe the HTC one gets good reviews for signal strength and battery life in poorer areas.
I liked the fact that the HTC had TWO speakers and they were on the front. S4 on the rear so harder to hear when laid down with screen up.
Just to add to the mix. The S4 has a new stable mate. The S4 Active. It is waterproof to one meter for 30 minutes. Even has software for taking pictures underwater. It has differences to the S4 but is sold at about an Equal price.
I was going to go for the HTC one because it suited my needs the best. However. I probably would now pick the S4 active because I have killed my last few phones with water.
At the end of the day both phones are good but it is down to want you want the phone for and which fits that criteria the best.

Good luck with your decision. It will be interesting to know which one you went for and why!
Chilly

Iv got the HTC and love it. The front speakers are fantastic. Super easy to use as well.
