26 March 2013
Two phones carrying such a weight of expectations that one would think they’d have no time and energy to worry about each other. The Samsung Galaxy S4 has to outsell the S III and the HTC One is...

      True if you use your phone constantly 24hrs/day. But at least half of the time it will be in standby mode, where it looses dramatically (Endurance rating (3hrs/day of calls+browsing+video and the rest is standby mode) HTC1=48 vs GS4=63
      However, I still choose HTC One (:

I wan... moreI ask this question before and many comment add after that, but with no answer although I feel like it's a very important question to be answer, Moreover I feel resizing image of one is't a pro way to compare pixel of HTC one camera with pixel of SG4 camera, and some who it is misleading for customers who don't understand who resizing in computer been accomplished.

          In the last this is a mobile camera used by most of user to capture images to use in a normal customer field not a pro field like a posters, if you want to do so then you must buy DSLR camera or I believe you don't know what professional images mean.

Yes with cloud and all its less needed, but a physical always right there back up can never truly be replaced. It's always there, always accessible, and always a good speed...and physically there. And you might not use up your memory, but with 320kb and flac and 20mbps video framerate many people can. I agree on variety and choice though. Its the spice of life. I favor the S4, but I would be much happier to see many with it as well as others witht the One and the Z and Nokia and the Lenovo

With the expandable memory I strongly believe thats also preference as well. With so many cloud services available, we no longer need to carry a memory card in our phones and remove it. Just log in to your cloud storage provider. Thats my opinion and preference anyway. I appreciate we all choose our phones for different reasons. The point I'm trying to make is that it is neither a positive or negative of the phones nowadays which dont have memory card or removable battery, as ive explained some of the positive reasons why.

Though they have lacked on some things and a Spectacular Nokia style droid would be amazing for us and them. But yes...Sony fans have reach near isheep status

                                        Fantastic job gsmarena. Many thanks to you. As expected, GSIV turned out as the superior device. One looks good but GSIV too isn't bad by any means. Only pinch is that it doesn't feel like something really new and I don't think that's a big problem. The victories One scored over the Galaxy were narrow and low pointed. Frankly, videos looked the same on both. Reverse is for the GSIV victories. Screen is a huge key n selling point today and as is the camera and don't forget that battery and card thing. Superb job by Samsung. GSIV rocks.
