I know this video is old, but if some one is viewing this page to see what phone to get, either the IPhone 5s, the Galaxy S4 or the HTC one. Get the HTC one. I just got it, and I am in love. The build quality is amazing, the beats make a huge difference, the screen is great and it's the perfect size. The Galaxy S4 runs TouchWiz, I had a Galaxy S3, and TouchWiz is just laggy, slow, and overall hideous. The 5s, has nothing great about it except the touch scanner, which isn't even that great; iOS 7 is just terrible and apple over all is just bad. You can't do anything with the amazing and speedy chip the 5s has.
Watching in 2018 and I still think the HTC One is close to the all time best designed smartphone. I really miss this era of smartphones. Haven’t gotten excited for phones in the last couple years the way I did back then.
I dont know I was thinking of getting the galaxy s4 but it feels too cheap. And HTC one feels like I am going to ran out of memory. And iPhone is just too limited.
For me that 25Gb actual storage on the HTC One is enough, for movies and other stuff that I don't use often I simply connect a pendrive via otg cable or just use dropbox. I like the 5 inch of the S4 but other than that I simply love the Sense 5 on the One. + as said You can install more bigger apps on the Htc and boomsound is simply overkill
Hi.I have SGS4 and it's great phone,trust me.The camera and other things on SGS4 are impressive.I had an iPhone and luckily I got SGS4.It's a big difference between SGS4 and iPhone or HTC One.View only Samsung Galaxy S4 Specs and HTC One Specs.Trust me you will not regret it! Good luck with shopping.
S4 is not cheap. Built is great. Just the plastic cover. It also has the newest gorilla glass. Strongest, flexible one yet. And youre probably gonna get a case anyway...
I just renewed my contract for the GS4 phone but I read a review online were the review writer said he preferred the HTC1. I was a bit gutted but after watching this video, although I like some of the features of the HTC1, there isn't enough in it to make me disappointed with the GS4 so I am happy to keep my contract as it is. Thanks for this very informative review.
Everybody talking junk about the iphone, htc one or s4 got to admit they're all amazing phones/computers. Make something better than either one than you can talk junk
The video was kinda biased towards HTC One, like in the benchmark tests, but overall a good review. That said, i am still confused as to which one i should go for, Samsung is more powerful, HTC is more visually appealing. Thats it...
Borat, I understand, but the applications are so demanding that u ought to have a better ram and a better processor. On paper although JB and KK require much lesser memory, but with the skins and the day to day applications we use, 1 gb of ram is not sufficient. I use an Xperia S and believe me it's damn slow!
Possibly one of the best comparison reviews I've ever watched, no favouritism towards either device and the most useful information on both to make an informed decision. Well done sir.
I owned both. Currently the HTC one. Brilliant design and it gets compliments from samsungers. However, you can't add a contact by typing the phone number on the dial pad. You have to call then add or add from contacts. Galaxy you can. Also the headset that is some kind of urbeats but no official license or beats logos but resemble my urbeats with not as much quality, will not change the music track. It Sucks. When you hit the button on the headphones it dials the last number even when your in your music app. It will only pause music. Not only that the beats audio will pump the music so loud the headphones have no choice to crackle. I love the loudness but they could have come stock with higher quality headphones to match the output. The phone speakers rock. Nothing better end of story. I don't know if this gentleman did all the research but the camera is not in the same game as s4. Picture quality decreases exponentially when zoomed and when not zoomed when I compare to my mom's s4 she kicks my ass all day. Also I hate that I have to have the flip board thing on my desktop. Also no sbeam for video and music. You can NFC pics to other droids but that's all. Att gave me a 30 trial, I fell in love with the sound and that when u watch RUclips or vines the phone speakers are so loud you don't need headphones like I did with my galaxy. Also the design. I dint know that any phone can stand up. It's like the man of steel of phones. God like. When my thirty days was almost up I compared the two, and it came down to the fact that I can live with a shittier camera. Oh by the way the reason I live with the camera is because this gentlemen forgot the most important part. THE CAMERA RECORDA IN SLOW MOTION VIDEO AND ITS FUCKING AWESOME. And the sound. At the gym over crappy gym speakers the sound is so loud in my phones it blots it out everything like xerxes army blotting out the sun with their arrows. And that's without noise cancel. The design kicks ass and I'm happy. The screen display rocks too. And with SwiftKey keyboard app texting is ultra fast with predictions. Samsung just got too cookie cutter. And after having all 4 I had to make the switch.
Hey, just to let you know you can add contacts by entering them in, just type in it and the option to add the number pops up once you've entered a certain amount of digits. Just so you know lol
I had couple of HTC phones, my most recent one was One S. After considering One vs S4 for a long time, decided to change and I went for S4. This was a bad decision, and honestly - I find older HTC ONE S better than the S4, so I can only imagine what am I missing by not getting the One. S4 lags, TouchWiz is TERRIBLE, my old HTC 1.5GHz dual core felt much, much faster than this quad 1.9GHz. TouchWiz is so heavy, it just wastes all this power. Camera is very bad, with a quite big delay on the shutter. All this super technology they keep advertising? Works ONLY on the stock samsung apps which you won't use anyway (Internet, Calendar, Email). Phone in general is good and nice, but there are so many small things that makes me regret buying it, like no date displayed in the notification bar, no ring volume setting while phone is locked, complicated settings all over the place. If you still can't decided what to buy - go with One.
Excellent, & I have to say it again! EXCELLENT video quality and production mate! Outrageously professional, straight to the point, with no bias... this was exactly what I needed to see & you nailed it. many many thanx... keep'em coming!!
HTC wins. Galaxy with its laggy user interface (an aside, but how do they do that when it’s packing a 1.9GHz quad-core chip?) and a tacky plastic body that seemed custom designed to collect fingerprints
Yeah I remember that phone. So beautiful. Hope they make a flip as pretty as that. But for now I guess we'll just have to settle for these... well at least they're on sale plus.google.com/104923498734515538555/posts/7Z1Gm18r5iQ
S4 is like trainers you wouldn't wear going to restaurant, and HTC one is like nice shinig shoes, buitl quality is better and over all, S4 offers a lot of futures if you spend your time only using phone witch means you have no life, so go for HTC One and get a life !
I have had the HTC One for about 6 months now. I love how smooth Sense 5 is, and how fast the phone is. The speakers are great, and I have been pleased with the phone overall. But the camera indoors i would say is the phone's weakness. You can get some good shots, but it might take you 4 or 5 pictures to get that good shot, maybe more if you have a moving subject. So that can be annoying but other than that I really have enjoyed my time with the phone
Also, I don't know what the process of rooting the S4 is but if you're interested in rooting your HTC One it's a bit of a process if you're on Verizon. Certainly do-able but I've just noticed it was considerably more tedious than any of my previous android phones (Droid 2, Droid 3 and GS3). Using HTC Dev to unlock the bootloader is not available for Verizon. As for everything else about the phone, it's fantastic. The speakers sold me and they sound superb both in my car and from the phone itself
Hi there Thank you for your video. Very professional and very helpful. I would like to know which phone would you go for!?? I had the one X and I love htc I fell in love with my one X but I lost it now so I don't know what to go for! Do I go for something new or do I stick to what I love and know. Please let me know and have a good day : )
OUTSTANDING review of two great phones. You're a lifesaver. I'm helping my sister research phones and these two just happen to be the ones I'm recommending to her. Your vid and especially narration of features, is excellent. Well organized and so, so informative. Thank you for the hard work you put into this!!
Between the HTC 1 and the Samsung 4 .... Which one takes better pics at night ? I am loving the HTC as my primary usage will be to pics, social media and loads of games n videos
Pretty accurate, I have had the One for about 3 days now and it's great so far. Had a galaxy s2 before hand so the improvements are huge. First aluminum body I have touched on a phone. Liked and subbed.
this phone comparison was excellent the step by step of the qualities of each phone was great a lot of reviews don't cover the things you covered. video and audio quality of the review was great too makes it that much more enjoyable to watch. Thanks! I watched this video because I'm debating if i should get the Galaxy S5 or the HTC one 2 or (m8) using this as a possible guide to their next round of phones
Great review. I'm not sure if this has been mentioned in the comments or not, but the reason there seems to be some complaints about charge rate on the HTC One is due to the fact the software will default to USB charge which limits the current to less than 500mA which is what most USB ports are rated for. In order to achieve fast rate of charge the phone needs to be plugged into a capable device that is configured to trigger AC charge mode on the HTC. (the stock HTC charger does this) The trigger is nothing more than both data pins being shorted together. There are cables sold specifically for this purpose (Search amazon from Micro USB Charge only cable) You can of course make your own cable. I am able to draw over an amp of current when charging with capable devices using such cable. Capable devices include anything that can actually supply this much current at 5v Most backup battery packs rated for iPad will supply up to 2.1A and some newer USB ports (especially USB3.0) are also rated much higher than 500mA. In order to view which charge method HTC One is using, click on settings, then go to power and while connected to charging source, you should see status at the top which will say "Charging - USB" or "Charging AC" the latter is what you want. BTW, I wish you have mentioned the slow motion video capability on the HTC when talking about cameras :)
Great video. Question though: I've had HTC phones for years (EVO and the newer 4g LTE) and the only big issue I've had w them is they seem to erase numbers randomly after a few years and glitch around the two year mark. This has scared me from wanting the ONE but is the galaxy more ir less the same as your typical HTC considering the different brands?
I don't think there is a winner It's more about What you like in a phone For me it was the HTC One because of the camera features (yes, for me features like zoe and sequence shot are much better than the sg4's), the build quality (HTC is an absolute winner here) and BoomSound (the best sound quality in the market. And Yeah it's louder than the S4)
I am leaning towards the Galaxy S4. But I am not sure about the HTC One, I have heard lots of people say the HTC One is better. I am not sure which to get, what do you recommend?
for internet surfing and facebooking; which is the better preference; or even online video chatting for the long distance lover. Which is better? HTC or S4/S5? I am leaning more towards the HTC because in the video the display seems to be brighter and clearer but that could just be a preference on first glance.
Really cool assessment, thank you. I think the Galaxy S4 is good, but what about durability, and glass breakage. I'm not easy on stuff and that makes a difference to me. Are there quality physical protective devices for the phones?
Hi, gave your vid a thumbs up, enjoyed the watch. I am still undecided though. I was really wanted a physical keyboard like Blackberry Q10 . Don't want iphone because of this locked feeling? I don't know, its so difficult to decide. Im scared of touch screen keyboard and it seems a pain. I am interested in the S4 , Sony Z1 and WAS interested in the HTC One. I really prefer the build look and quality of the HTC and SONY but yeh pros and cons like battery removal BUT that's just s silly factor?
The thing is (and yes I own an htc one m7) with the speakers is that the "if you consume a lot of media" comment doesn't mean much, simply because no one should be using phone speakers in public and if you do please stop, if you have a job or a life in general, if you're not home chances are you'll be using earphones/headphones and the boomsound speakers, they are amazing and surprinsingly loud at the lowest volume setting.
@Henry vanegas i don't agree with u about the headphones which come with the HTC one,they are the best stock ones (compitating with the new Iphone's) and they deliver clear and crisp sound,beats audio (on) make them even better.
My brother in law has HTC and made the choice based on a lot of research. The sound and low light superiority as well as the easier hand holding from slightly smaller size were the swaying factors. This video does a great job of visual comparisons to help you really figure out what's most important to you. I'm leaning on HTC myself. I will be choosing android over my iphone4. My lenovo $120 tablet has led me down the road to the PITA break I am getting ready to embrace with the transfer of data from Apple's platform.
Very good video. We were looking into a new carrier and comparing uses of family members, this helped alot. For me its an LG G2 or S4, for the wife and daughter, hands down the HTC One they will love.
The aluminum doesn't affect Well that's better than Galaxy s4 at least, like iPhone 5C, Galaxy S4 is plastic and the HTC One looks much nicer than the Galaxy and it is a better, the shape of Galaxy doesn't even look handsome and it is too big and not portable enough unless u get Galaxy S3 which is pretty much the same as S4, but lower-end, the HTC One may be the real Android phone like the Google Nexus, but it HTC One is close enough and it beats most Android phones out there and every single iPhone even if jailbroken with or without shitty iOS 7 and this is coming from an iPhone 5 user who got the phone before these 2 phones came out, I need to get the HTC.
In my opinion, looks don't matter to me. I went to Best Buy today and actually witnessed that the HTC One had 3 bars signal strength while the S4 had 5 bars. I then looked again just to make sure, and the HTC One had dropped all the way to one signal bar while the S4 stayed the same. I know the displays are not connected to a cellular network, but the signal still dropped on the One, while the S4 remained constant. Anyway, choose wisely. Who knows, maybe it's not the aluminum but the phone itself. I had an iphone and despised it; small screen, laggy iOS, and just very limited. I once put an aluminum case on it, and it dropped signal dramatically. So, that's why I say that the aluminum on the HTC One is causing bad signal. There's a reason Samsung put plastic on the phone (no signal fluctuations.) Just put a silicone case on S4 and BAM!! no problem whatsoever.
Plus, you will probably end up putting a case on the HTC One just to be on the safe side. I go for S4 because of better performance and that Samsung doesn't only just make phones.
Thanks so much for this great video. Extremely helpful... esp the side-by-side audio & video. I had the HTC, but traded for the S4 because of the "build". Found it more difficult to press buttons & use, esp with gel cover on. But the sound was fantastic.
I personally don't have an S4 so can't really compare, but after watching this and various other videos not knowing which phone to get (it was between s4, HTC One and Iphone5) I finally chose the HTC and I couldn't be anymore relieved, all my family are I phone users and I personally would chose the HTC over the iPhone any day, absolutely wonderful phone.
Well I did get the S4 and still do not know if I made the right choice. Like I had some issues with the battery. (being good and then suddenly not so good) I hear about the high percentage having problems with the batteries. Then even I have problems with my SD card. And the fluidity overall is not as I expected it to be. I own an old S2 and it is more "fluid" than the S4 in transitions mostly seen in gallery when the same images are displayed . One thing that keeps me is the Display.
Thanks for the video....I made my choice... I know what I will buy for the next year. I think i'm gonna take the HTC one... I want something new...I had the samsung s2... and it's almost the same as S4, I know that the S4 is more powerful and better than the S2 or the HTC one... but the HTC ONE is also good... Not a big difference between the both (S4 and HTC one)... (i like the speakers of the HTC ONE)..
I recently upgraded and ordered the s4. I told my partner to get the htc one for himself as he loves watching movies and ufc etc. The htc one screen seems great for this. Plus his phone came with 32gb memory whereas mine has 16gb. To be honest the main reason I chose the s4 is because I love the whole layout that samsungs have. Everything is familiar to me, but the screen is much better than my previous galaxy note. I have to say I do get quite jealous of my other halfs htc one, as the screen is AMAZING..crystal clear and the blacks are really dark, something I admire. Also the speakers are ridiculously good. If you like watching movies often I would say get the htc one, whereas if you are familiar with samsungs and touchwiz, i say stick to them!
Is AT&T have fast LTE? And with the HTC One having kind of an outdated version of Android, will it have an effect on the experience? I might be planning to change to AT&T instead of Verizon.
First... thank you. That was very informative. I recently bought the HTC One after struggling between the 2. Wished I'd checked your review first. However, I still would have chosen the HTC for what I need. Love the phone, and don't need the extra features. Great sound with the Beats headphones, too.
Hey Jonathan, I just watch the video, I already own the htc one I think the video was great, I got the htc one for the boom sound, I'm a huge music and movie lover so this phone was perfect for me, the fact that the phone is fully made of aluminum was a plus not only does it feel great but it is tough. I have put my HTC one through God knows everything and it's still going strong. I disagree with what you said about the battery life being better on the s4 than the One.
This video was amazing! Thank you so much for this. I recently dropped my stupid iPhone 5 in the toilet and I've been contemplating on what phone I should get next! Due to the fact that I have to have it for two freakin' years! So after watching this video, I've decided to go with the HTC One! Super super amazing. Thanks for getting straight to the point with that one! :) Very much appreciated.
Great review, im a customer from venezuela sud america, please any recomendation about any serius online store to buy the s4 ? i wanna bring it to my country. thanks.
Possibly one of the best comparison reviews I've ever watched, no favouritism towards either device and the most useful information on both to make an informed decision. Well done sir.
I know this video is old, but if some one is viewing this page to see what phone to get, either the IPhone 5s, the Galaxy S4 or the HTC one. Get the HTC one. I just got it, and I am in love.

You can't do anything with the amazing and speedy chip the 5s has.
i think u should try apple products...u ll change ur mind,.....
Zakzikocsc Zakicsc I've had two.
falconpawnch7 Its funny that the apple fan boys think that the people who don't like apple products have never tried one.
remember when phone were created just to make and receive calls.
Remember when you couldn't move anywhere with them? insane,lol. yay future.
Watching in 2018 and I still think the HTC One is close to the all time best designed smartphone. I really miss this era of smartphones. Haven’t gotten excited for phones in the last couple years the way I did back then.
watching in 2024 and I think its one of my top 2 phones ever next to the iphone 4
If only the One has removable storage and battery!
As much as the Samsung seems to out perform the HTC, I just can't get over that it's made of plastic!
I dont know I was thinking of getting the galaxy s4 but it feels too cheap. And HTC one feels like I am going to ran out of memory. And iPhone is just too limited.

I guess he already got a phone, btw I don't really think that hipe around gorilla glass v2 or v3 matters that much
The smallest things can make a big difference. You can use your key on the screen without scratching it. And those extra inches of a drop can matter.
I just renewed my contract for the GS4 phone but I read a review online were the review writer said he preferred the HTC1.

I really love HTC One, I got mine from Amazon and I saw they are on sale now : amzn.to/1coNDCn

Or we can simply disable these crapwares. What do you think, will this help in making a leaner OS?
This is a great and very informative video, its to bad it only makes the decision harder.

S4 might have a bit better specs but the thing is made like a toy, htc one invested more into the build quality, which nowdays is more important
10 years ago I had a Motorola razor flip 1 of the best phones ever

That phone was one of the best most durable ever. STILL fetches a decent rate even on Ebay amongst collectors.
Can anyone please tell me the name of the track used at the starting of the video.
HTC
YEAH !
I broke my television remote now I use my s4 lol!
S4 is like trainers you wouldn't wear going to restaurant, and HTC one is like nice shinig shoes, buitl quality is better and over all, S4 offers a lot of futures if you spend your time only using phone witch means you have no life, so go for HTC One and get a life !
thats by far the most stupid thing i've ever heard. you clearly have no life lol
I have had the HTC One for about 6 months now. I love how smooth Sense 5 is, and how fast the phone is. The speakers are great, and I have been pleased with the phone overall.

Wish htc did this again.
HTC is the winner, but the iPhone 5 is the best! :D
HTC ONE IS DA BOMB!

i got a htc one on black friday for $30 Bboy Aqua

htc one is the truly better phone
I bought S4 and I love it.
Which to get? Someone had own both these phones give me some advices. Thanks
HTC One is the best phone in the world! I'm going to get it.. Never want this fucking S4... Them just sucks!
Htc one is better.... Works smoother.... Samsung is shit
Htc one is much better
Hi there
Thank you for your video. Very professional and very helpful. I would like to know which phone would you go for!?? I had the one X and I love htc I fell in love with my one X but I lost it now so I don't know what to go for! Do I go for something new or do I stick to what I love and know.
Please let me know and have a good day : )
HTC One all the way
Apple sucks!
Why?
because, it's not android. Internet logic .. SMH -___-
Visual Uprising In fact Android sucks, Android just lag, ugly design & virus
ehh apples pretty goog but samsungs better
Addison Rudd Can you tell how Samsung is better than Apple ?
htc one is awsome i have it
This is the way to do reviews. Straight to the point, no bullshit. This guy has it down. Thanks man.
Samsung suck
HTC!!
LOL android: THE COPY IF IPHONE
*****
still better than android though :)
Love the way you do the review. Clear side by side comparison and details explanation. Awesome!
Htc takes the win
Samsung stuff is error prone!
You just put HTC closer to the microfone...LoL///
OUTSTANDING review of two great phones. You're a lifesaver. I'm helping my sister research phones and these two just happen to be the ones I'm recommending to her.

Galaxy s4 shit
Between the HTC 1 and the Samsung 4 ....
Which one takes better pics at night ?
I am loving the HTC as my primary usage will be to pics, social media and loads of games n videos
Pretty accurate, I have had the One for about 3 days now and it's great so far. Had a galaxy s2 before hand so the improvements are huge. First aluminum body I have touched on a phone. Liked and subbed.
this phone comparison was excellent the step by step of the qualities of each phone was great a lot of reviews don't cover the things you covered. video and audio quality of the review was great too makes it that much more enjoyable to watch. Thanks! I watched this video because I'm debating if i should get the Galaxy S5 or the HTC one 2 or (m8) using this as a possible guide to their next round of phones
Great review. I'm not sure if this has been mentioned in the comments or not, but the reason there seems to be some complaints about charge rate on the HTC One is due to the fact the software will default to USB charge which limits the current to less than 500mA which is what most USB ports are rated for. In order to achieve fast rate of charge the phone needs to be plugged into a capable device that is configured to trigger AC charge mode on the HTC. (the stock HTC charger does this) The trigger is nothing more than both data pins being shorted together. There are cables sold specifically for this purpose (Search amazon from Micro USB Charge only cable) You can of course make your own cable. I am able to draw over an amp of current when charging with capable devices using such cable. Capable devices include anything that can actually supply this much current at 5v Most backup battery packs rated for iPad will supply up to 2.1A and some newer USB ports (especially USB3.0) are also rated much higher than 500mA. In order to view which charge method HTC One is using, click on settings, then go to power and while connected to charging source, you should see status at the top which will say "Charging - USB" or "Charging AC" the latter is what you want.
BTW, I wish you have mentioned the slow motion video capability on the HTC when talking about cameras :)
Thank you for doing this awesome review and not being biased like so many others
Spent all day comparing these two, and your video was the clearest report!! Thank you!
Hey man awesome review I think this is one of the better S4 vs HTC One reviews I've seen on RUclips..........Subscribing!!!
Great video. Question though: I've had HTC phones for years (EVO and the newer 4g LTE) and the only big issue I've had w them is they seem to erase numbers randomly after a few years and glitch around the two year mark. This has scared me from wanting the ONE but is the galaxy more ir less the same as your typical HTC considering the different brands?
I don't think there is a winner
It's more about What you like in a phone
For me it was the HTC One because of the camera features (yes, for me features like zoe and sequence shot are much better than the sg4's), the build quality (HTC is an absolute winner here) and BoomSound (the best sound quality in the market. And Yeah it's louder than the S4)
Does the htc one model will be selling for a while , or is there a newer model coming soon?
I am leaning towards the Galaxy S4. But I am not sure about the HTC One, I have heard lots of people say the HTC One is better. I am not sure which to get, what do you recommend?
for internet surfing and facebooking; which is the better preference; or even online video chatting for the long distance lover. Which is better? HTC or S4/S5?
I am leaning more towards the HTC because in the video the display seems to be brighter and clearer but that could just be a preference on first glance.
Really cool assessment, thank you. I think the Galaxy S4 is good, but what about durability, and glass breakage. I'm not easy on stuff and that makes a difference to me. Are there quality physical protective devices for the phones?
Hi, gave your vid a thumbs up, enjoyed the watch. I am still undecided though.
I was really wanted a physical keyboard like Blackberry Q10 . Don't want iphone because of this locked feeling? I don't know, its so difficult to decide. Im scared of touch screen keyboard and it seems a pain. I am interested in the S4 , Sony Z1 and WAS interested in the HTC One. I really prefer the build look and quality of the HTC and SONY but yeh pros and cons like battery removal BUT that's just s silly factor?
Hey, I know EXACTLY where you took that picture with the HTC one at 11:53. We have a small car meet there every Friday night. Just off the 10 Freeway.
The thing is (and yes I own an htc one m7) with the speakers is that the "if you consume a lot of media" comment doesn't mean much, simply because no one should be using phone speakers in public and if you do please stop, if you have a job or a life in general, if you're not home chances are you'll be using earphones/headphones and the boomsound speakers, they are amazing and surprinsingly loud at the lowest volume setting.
@Henry vanegas i don't agree with u about the headphones which come with the HTC one,they are the best stock ones (compitating with the new Iphone's) and they deliver clear and crisp sound,beats audio (on) make them even better.
My brother in law has HTC and made the choice based on a lot of research. The sound and low light superiority as well as the easier hand holding from slightly smaller size were the swaying factors. This video does a great job of visual comparisons to help you really figure out what's most important to you. I'm leaning on HTC myself. I will be choosing android over my iphone4. My lenovo $120 tablet has led me down the road to the PITA break I am getting ready to embrace with the transfer of data from Apple's platform.
John, have a look at the nexus 5. A good choice if you have to purchase a phone and you are moving to the google proficts
Very good video. We were looking into a new carrier and comparing uses of family members, this helped alot. For me its an LG G2 or S4, for the wife and daughter, hands down the HTC One they will love.
Hmmm Help!! should i buy xperia L , moto razr i or galaxy s4 mini???? I just want to know about what phone is best...
Why does the HTC One have aluminum on it?? Doesn't the manufacturer know that any metal cover will cause horrible reception?
The aluminum doesn't affect Well that's better than Galaxy s4 at least, like iPhone 5C, Galaxy S4 is plastic and the HTC One looks much nicer than the Galaxy and it is a better, the shape of Galaxy doesn't even look handsome and it is too big and not portable enough unless u get Galaxy S3 which is pretty much the same as S4, but lower-end, the HTC One may be the real Android phone like the Google Nexus, but it HTC One is close enough and it beats most Android phones out there and every single iPhone even if jailbroken with or without shitty iOS 7 and this is coming from an iPhone 5 user who got the phone before these 2 phones came out, I need to get the HTC.
In my opinion, looks don't matter to me. I went to Best Buy today and actually witnessed that the HTC One had 3 bars signal strength while the S4 had 5 bars. I then looked again just to make sure, and the HTC One had dropped all the way to one signal bar while the S4 stayed the same. I know the displays are not connected to a cellular network, but the signal still dropped on the One, while the S4 remained constant. Anyway, choose wisely. Who knows, maybe it's not the aluminum but the phone itself. I had an iphone and despised it; small screen, laggy iOS, and just very limited. I once put an aluminum case on it, and it dropped signal dramatically. So, that's why I say that the aluminum on the HTC One is causing bad signal. There's a reason Samsung put plastic on the phone (no signal fluctuations.) Just put a silicone case on S4 and BAM!! no problem whatsoever.
Plus, you will probably end up putting a case on the HTC One just to be on the safe side. I go for S4 because of better performance and that Samsung doesn't only just make phones.
I want to know how the iphone 5 compares to samsung galaxy note 2 &3.. thanks
Thanks so much for this great video. Extremely helpful... esp the side-by-side audio & video. I had the HTC, but traded for the S4 because of the "build". Found it more difficult to press buttons & use, esp with gel cover on. But the sound was fantastic.
what do you think about the new Moto X?
Which one is the more comfortable to hold?
I personally don't have an S4 so can't really compare, but after watching this and various other videos not knowing which phone to get (it was between s4, HTC One and Iphone5) I finally chose the HTC and I couldn't be anymore relieved, all my family are I phone users and I personally would chose the HTC over the iPhone any day, absolutely wonderful phone.
Well I did get the S4 and still do not know if I made the right choice. Like I had some issues with the battery. (being good and then suddenly not so good) I hear about the high percentage having problems with the batteries. Then even I have problems with my SD card. And the fluidity overall is not as I expected it to be. I own an old S2 and it is more "fluid" than the S4 in transitions mostly seen in gallery when the same images are displayed .
One thing that keeps me is the Display.
Thanks for the video....I made my choice... I know what I will buy for the next year. I think i'm gonna take the HTC one... I want something new...I had the samsung s2... and it's almost the same as S4, I know that the S4 is more powerful and better than the S2 or the HTC one... but the HTC ONE is also good... Not a big difference between the both (S4 and HTC one)... (i like the speakers of the HTC ONE)..
Best phone comparison video I've seen, so helpful. Cheers
hey Jonathan,
have you ever had issues with the HTC One where the camera has purple/pink tint showing when you open it and the phone feels hot?
HELP!! im looking for a new phone samsung s4 or htc one which ones better ? i have iphone s4 htm
+Aoife xbeauty HTC ONE i have the s4 and it broke after two weeks !
+Aoife xbeauty Why would you want either of them now... They're almost 3 years old
why does it matter about how old they are ?
+Aoife xbeauty Because availability and mainly performance?
+Prabhas Kurapati That doesn't mean its worth buying now
HTC is currently $49.99(U.S) for sprint with new OR existing (yes existing too) contract, on Amazon, get them while they last!
iam looking for a cheap one should i get S4 or htc one? suggest me phones that are cheap and great if these 2 are not good
At best buy the HTC one is 149$ off contract
I recently upgraded and ordered the s4. I told my partner to get the htc one for himself as he loves watching movies and ufc etc. The htc one screen seems great for this. Plus his phone came with 32gb memory whereas mine has 16gb.
To be honest the main reason I chose the s4 is because I love the whole layout that samsungs have. Everything is familiar to me, but the screen is much better than my previous galaxy note.
I have to say I do get quite jealous of my other halfs htc one, as the screen is AMAZING..crystal clear and the blacks are really dark, something I admire. Also the speakers are ridiculously good.
If you like watching movies often I would say get the htc one, whereas if you are familiar with samsungs and touchwiz, i say stick to them!
just got an s4 the New Trent iCarrier looks really good but looks like its only from USA.
Is there anything like this can be had from UK?
Can you root the htc one and run touchwiz? I want the S4's camera software and windows.
Is AT&T have fast LTE? And with the HTC One having kind of an outdated version of Android, will it have an effect on the experience? I might be planning to change to AT&T instead of Verizon.
This is suck an amazing, complete and professional review. Amazing. Congrats !
First... thank you. That was very informative. I recently bought the HTC One after struggling between the 2. Wished I'd checked your review first. However, I still would have chosen the HTC for what I need. Love the phone, and don't need the extra features. Great sound with the Beats headphones, too.
They both look awesome, most unbiased phone review I have seen but I may be choosing the Htc because of the build, size, look, speakers, and quality
Hey Jonathan, I just watch the video, I already own the htc one I think the video was great, I got the htc one for the boom sound, I'm a huge music and movie lover so this phone was perfect for me, the fact that the phone is fully made of aluminum was a plus not only does it feel great but it is tough. I have put my HTC one through God knows everything and it's still going strong. I disagree with what you said about the battery life being better on the s4 than the One.
And with this phone, HTC reached it's peak...
I'm your 301,514th subscriber :D
Whats the battery percentage displayer that you have on the home screen of the htc?
This video was amazing! Thank you so much for this. I recently dropped my stupid iPhone 5 in the toilet and I've been contemplating on what phone I should get next! Due to the fact that I have to have it for two freakin' years! So after watching this video, I've decided to go with the HTC One! Super super amazing. Thanks for getting straight to the point with that one! :) Very much appreciated.
Great review, im a customer from venezuela sud america, please any recomendation about any serius online store to buy the s4 ? i wanna bring it to my country. thanks.
This S4 is so sick with it man. I'm going crazy over this air gesture feature!
that is the greatest comparison i've found on youtube between Htc one and Galaxy s4 . thank you
Hi! I'm living in the netherlands. Do you know what shop sells the best htc one? Low price?
don't mind the limited storage on s4, just needed to be rooted and LInk2SD installed
Nathan you shouldn't be too addicted to technology
Of course Mother :P

Possibly one of the best comparison reviews I've ever watched, no favouritism towards either device and the most useful information on both to make an informed decision. Well done sir.
is it worth getting htc one 2 year contract now ?
