    Htc keeps saying htc One is better than the S4. Well, if they wanna prove their point, they should put an S4 beside the htc One on a stand in every store, comparing the specs on a board. The first thing you will notice is that the S4 is smaller than the htc One with a bigger screen. then u get pulled by the specs. this could make a customer forfeit better design on the htc One.

      Not impressed with cheap plastics and I am fed up with it (I am SGS3 owner). I am going for HTC One this time and maybe will wait fod S5, if Samsung decides to make it feel more premium.

        McKnully, 19 Mar 2013I really don't like AMOLED with pentile matrix at all, whet... moreI guarantee that you won't tell it's penile at 440ppi. The review indicates this screen is awesome and saturation can be dialled back if u want.

        Haters are really struggling to find something to hate... Typically they fall back to looks (which are still a big improvement over the s3) or plastic... The note 2 build quality is great so Ithink the s4 will be)

        Hate away haters... You give everyone so something to laugh at.

          I've read that the S4 has the dreaded colour clipping, as found on the S3 and to some degree the Note 2. Gsm can you confirm this? What do dark scenes look like in video's?

            im really impressed with the features of this phone, specially software ones (of course not the design).
            i will definitely buy one. i think my XZ needs such a great partner :D

              Kantone, 19 Mar 2013plastic for more than £500.... niiiiceeeeI'm not sure, but are you paying for the plastic or the phone it self with the screen and the rest of the hardware?

              Oh, look, iPhone 4 / 4S users pay the glass that breaks if you just looks hard enough on it.

                  AnonD-97279, 19 Mar 2013Great, awesome what phone. Other flagship models which had ... moreMy God !! Why do you bring Apple into an argument always !?? I am sick and tired of this war.. Let Apple and its Iphone survive.. No one's hurt if they bring out a new product.. I own a Note 2 and I am an android OS lover.. But the fact is that Android needs to be streamlined and more efficient. I respect Apple for its design and build quality(not an Apple Fanboy though ) also HTC comes up with brilliant phones but fails in the battery department.. Sony has until the Xperia Z launch had failed to live up to my expectation. But Z is very good..

                    I went and purchased Note 2 instead... And all that hardware and processing power is not yet fully utilized until android os is steamlined.. Benchmarking performance doesnt mean a thing in real life coz I have owned every other Samsung Galaxy phones... From my personal experience a quadcore phone with 2GB of ram is more than enough performance for a power user.

                                        Not amazed by the phone itself, but the camera is awesome, the new king in the camera department in the Android lineup.
