Tcool, 14 May 2014Actually this is your previous reply: "The best phone... moreThis is your comment "Yes I have HTC Desire 600 dual sim. It's good for calling but not as superb as you said."

Why did you say it's not superb? Then what is actually superb? Please justify your opinion.

I actually compared My HTC One with the high-end phones. Among all of them no phone ever reached the call quality of the HTC One.

What I guess here is, you must have compared your mid-range Desire 600 with the high-end phones and then you are saying it's not superb. You replied to my first comment as "It's a joke" which means you don't agree with me.

I have even used a HTC mid-range phone such as HTC Desire X, when it's comparing with the many mid-range phones such as galaxy Ace and Xperia go it had a great call quality over many mid-range phones in the market. Indeed, it's not good as high-end phone such as HTC One or Galaxy S5. According to my experience, generally HTC Phones have the best call quality. Do you understand now?

According to you, which phones have the best call clarity, please justify your answers. Did you visit to the website that I gave you?

    "The best phones for a superb call clarity are the HTC phones. No phone in the world come closer to the HTC phones in caller clarity."

    You didn't say any flagship phone or mid range phone or whatsoever. You only said "No phone in the world come closer to the HTC phones in caller clarity."

    Now you speak in particular phones. Are we playing games?

      Tcool, 14 May 2014Yes I have HTC Desire 600 dual sim. It's good for calling ... moreActually Desire 600 is a mid range device. I got a Galaxy S5 and a HTC M8 as my birthday presents. According to my experience M8 can easily beats the S5 and even my previous M7 has a better call quality than the S5.

      Then, comparing with my father's iPhone 5S, still M8 or even HTC M7 has a better call quality. One of my colleague who using a Xperia Z1 said its caller volume is very low. Sometimes he can't hear properly when he is in a noisy environment. I even felt it.

      One of my friend at the university who using a Lumia 925, asked me to use my phone to take an emergency call because his phone is out of battery life. After the call he told me "your phone (HTC M7) has a very good call clarity, unlike my Lumia, sometimes it has a noise distortion between conversations."

      According to my limited experience only the BlackBerry Z10 has a better call quality after the HTC One M7. However, even BB Z10 can't come closer to the HTC M7.

      Call quality can be change according to your network service.

      If you need to check the call quality of any phone, type on Google e.g. "HTC One call quality test." Then you can see a website called cnet.com. Visit to that website, you can here to a sample audio. It's like this

      http://www.cnet.com/products/htc-one/2/

      You can compare any phone with the HTC One. If you find a phone that can beat the HTC One, please let me know.

                      Your boyfriend doesn't have a phone and he cannot afford unlimited minutes?

                      He is not yet your husband and he intrudes your private life, what more if you get married?
                      He is just showing that he doesn't trust you.
                      That is not love.
                      You better get rid of him while it is still early.

                      Go girl, you can do it.

                      If you cannot do it, other option is use a basic cheap phone for calling only and lend it to him whenever he needs to call his other woman! LOL!

Those other nonsense heart rate monitor, fingerprint scanner will attract some kids for sure, but well wise persons won't even think for a second about those nuisances.

                              Now is it worth paying 75% extra for the S5 than what S4's price is now just for build quality? Heck NO! I mean how stupid one could be.

                              The last device for which I paid a lot was Note 2, it was piece of cRaP, so waited for three months after S4 was released just to buy it at a cooled down price, turns out money superbly well wasted again, as it was THE WORST phone I have ever owned, surpassing that BlackBerry flip phone I have used back in 08 or 09!

                                  It would be good when S5 mini comes out and they use the same screen tech plus 4k video that would suite me great..

                                  Apparently there has been a camera update just after I returned S5 ,,typical but anyhow still can try S5 again when price comes down its not end of world..If you can handle size of phone S5 is a good device.

                                    When you consider buying the S5, you should consider many things. As every year a new S is launched, some new features are added and the main hardware of the device is upgraded. But compare the S5 to the S4, you will find what is newly added ? A fingerprint sensor, a heart rate meter, IP67 dust-water certification and a slight increase in the camera and the processor.
                                    If you are a new buyer, are you willing to pay almost twice the price of the S4 for just a couple of new features and slight upgrades. I know that many people would easily change their phone every year so they find this normal, but I and many others don't. I am talking here about the average users. If I want a new phone now and got its cost in my hands now, I would buy an S4 and save the price difference for something else. And if I am about to save, I would save until I got my money ready, then wait for the S6 to roll onto the market and I would go buy the S5. Why???
                                    Because every time a new S is on the market, the previous model price gets ridiculously low. That also means that I am losing a great value in my phone if I want to sell it. And the changes made in every model are not life changing. Though the S3 is two years old now, but when you consider its specs it still is a great phone with 720p display with pixel density above 300ppi, a quad-core processor, a clean 8MP camera and almost the same user interface as the S5. What I need to say from all this is don't be that stupid person who will go buy a brand new highly priced S5 3 or 4 months before the release of the S6, as you will be wasting your money and a four months later you lose much in your phone's price and it is outdated. Or the other stupid person who throws away a galaxy S4 to buy a brand new highly priced S5.
