Samsung Galaxy S4

[Pchan 5,162]

I loved my old BB 6800, I'd hop on it again without question. That physical full qwerty keyboard in unbeatable with the current tech or touchscreen phones (even if I were to compare it with Swype). Another good thing about those phones were their good battery life. Flip side, no battery hungry apps or multiple apps could be run or enjoyed or experienced with as much fun as a big screen touchscreen. Incomparable on either side of the pros and cons. 

 

Anyway ...

SG4 over the HTC One

 

Bigger screen, works with gloves, those new air gesture things - Marginally larger by .3 inches, the rest is gimmicky.

Much higher resolution cam - Pixels aren't everything, its horrid in low light. Gizmodo ran a comparison on 5 different phones, it wasn't the best.

Higher version of Android out of the box -doesn't really matter unless you are a rooter. Both phones have their own skin over android

Multiwindow tasking - HTC One does this, perhaps in a different fashion. I can mutlitask between 9 windows.

Faster chipset - marginally

Storage you can expand - who needs more than 64 gigs on their phone? HTC One has you covered. Not counting apps, HTC syncs and stores all of your stuff on its own iCloud like server.

Can replace your battery for a higher capacity one - Meh, overrated feature. The vast majority of people don't carry an extra battery on them everywhere they go.  My HTC one can go almost 2 days with my standard level of usage.

Thinner, lighter and smaller - plastic, less durable, marginally different in dimensions

HTC One

Dimensions 137.4 mm (5.41 in) H
68.2 mm (2.69 in) W
9.3 mm (0.37 in) D (max)
4 mm (0.16 in) D (min) Weight 143 g (5.0 oz)

Galaxy S4

Dimensions 136.6 mm (5.38 in) H
69.8 mm (2.75 in) W
7.9 mm (0.31 in) D Weight 130 g (4.6 oz)

 

 

 

 

A thermometer, barometer and what not - Weather app...

 

HTC One over SG4

 

Front speaker, FM - Correction, two front speakers and they are amazing. I haven't been this impressed with phone audio quality since my Blackberry 8900. FM? Meh again.. still requires the earphones for antenna as all phones that have this feature. iHeartRadio FTW.

 

Better looking aluminum body - More durable body at that.

 

Optical image stabilizer - I guess i just don't get too excited about cameras... but the instantaneous shutter compared to what i dealt with on iphone is pretty amazing.

These phones are nothing compared to my old LG Rumour 2.

 

 

It had a keyboard and it could text. Who needs apps and speakers!? pfft! pointless features!

 

 

lol.. Its still hard for me to believe that was the phone I was using just 13 months ago.

[DeathscytheX 9,732]

 

BEHOLD!!!!! Nothing beats awesome features like Snake!

[Sledgstone 8,672]

Now thats a good phone. All these new features are horrible. Touchscreens? Screw that. I prefer the classics.

 

lmao. At least new phones are something GG loves.

 

I remember my first nokia. I was 18. That phone weighed probably 8 pounds. I still have it too!

You can pick the things you want out of either phone, to suit your real-time needs or your argument. To me, one's a better phone and doesn't mean the other isn't a good phone which's why I give you pro's of both over themselves.
