Hello Everyone

There have been some people trolling around here with capacitve button issue..well all that is false..

About the phone -

- Awesome phone..fell in love with it in the first meeting..

- Superb sound quality ..both earphones and speaker

- Fabulous screen.. love this one!!

- excellent design.. it cannot get better than this..

- camera is superb ..beautiful images in dark..best i have seen till date with any smartphone..love this one!! daylight images are also good enough and will improve after the update just released.

- Battery - decent battery ..gave me around 1.5 day back up with normal usage.. 3 hours music, 1 hour calling , internet on wifi..

- Highly recommended ..wait for this one...HTC ONE is surely something you will enjoy in your daily life..

On Samsung S4:

- Screen is very good.. both mobiles have good screen.

- ugly design..didnt want to feel that i bought cheap plastic after spending so much..

- software glitches ..touchwiz lags even on octa core(with 4 cores working at a time).

- music quality is very good but not better than htc one.

- video recording is poor

- image quality good in daylight but night images have a lots of noise and less light.

- Battery back up similar to htc one..

- UI is very bad...feels like using samsung grand or S3..no premium feel.

Verdict :

Guys if you want to enjoy your smartphone go for htc one..don't get lured by benchmarks..this tiny difference doesnt mean anything..and what difference does that benchmark make if even touchwiz lags on S4..??.

Blindly go for HTC ONE!! BEST MOBILE I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED!!

              Samsung has done it all. Plastic or not, we're not going to be using this phone for hammering nails into woods, so it's more than enough. Note 3 and the Megas will soon arrive.

                          lot, 25 Apr 2013why not fm radio? its more useful from barometer and basic ... moreBecause only few people use FM radio, they are not the main target.

                            bharat, 25 Apr 2013no 4g s4 is waste that price Your network should support 4g if you intend to use a phone which supports 4g.

                                      Can someone kindly confirm or rectify that i9500 listed above is NOT LTE compatible? The online specs are very confusing but seem to indicate that the only the i9505 is indeed LTE; which seems feasible, as the predecessor i9300 was not, while the i9305 was LTE compatible. I checked the i9505 specs from GSMARENA and it also lists LTE in the features, but so does the 9500 here, so I am totally confused...

                                        k, 24 Apr 2013From where do you get a free FM radio download.Just download TuneIn radio app. It also works without headphones.
