I know the screen of the S4 Active has changed to TFT. How is that compared to the screen on HTC One?
I'm going to look at and possibly purchase the Active today. I will report back with my findings.
So I went to look at it... it took me less than 2 minutes before I decided I had to have it. So I bought it. It is a REALLY nice device, and the screen is nicer than the regular S4's. Compared to the One, the screen is just a hint brighter on full brightness, and pretty much on par with colors. I think the One might be just a tad richer, but that's about it. No doubt, the Active has a gorgeous display. It seems more responsive than the One as well. Definitely happy with my decision.

It's awesome. I like it better than the One believe it or not. It's noticeably more responsive, the screen is amazing, and it doesn't feel anywhere near as fragile as the One. The hard buttons are nice, but will take some time to get used to. The only thing about it is the dialer, man is it hideous.

Screen is nice and on par. Battery I have found to be not only better than the HTC one but also the original s4 as well.
That's without using any power saving apps or settings. I'm going to take some photos with both and compare them. I may post them here if anyone is interested however it's cloudy and raining today.

Ever heard of the Sony Xperia Z? Hideous buttons on a High-end phone? No thank you. However, the TFT screen does look pretty nice. I'm sure if HTC wanted to make a water resistant device, it would be on par with the Xperia Z and wayyyy nicer than the S4 active.

Selling my One
The screen on the Active is sick. I think it looks better than the One. I might sell my HTC One or keeping it. I'm falling for Samsung once again until the Note 3 comes out in fall.
Just got my S4 Active today...
I really like it much more than the "original" S4...
It just feels much more solid and the screen is beautiful... used it for about 30 min then I sold my HTC ONE

Hello,
I really like the Note 2, I've gone back to it two times already, once from a Iphone 5, and the 2nd from a Lumia 920. The lumia 920 was great for photos, but the windows UI was extremely boring. I hardly use the S-pen as well, I just like the big screen. But I do have a small wifi problem with my note 2 right now, in which a new replacement is coming in soon. Any Note 2 users out there planning to ditch and get the HTC One?

Over the past year I have carried every major new phone in AT&Ts lineup and this is the first one I have been truly excited about. I haven't been able to put it down. The Note 2 was significantly better than the Note, but can't hold up the jock strap of the One. Screen size is the only this the Note has going for it, the screen resolution on the One is ridiculous and more than makes up for the size.
Quality over size. And yes, that is what she said.

So far not blown away by this device. Blink is a bit limited. I think I prefer flipboard or scope. Havent really played with the camera yet, will do this weekend. Performance is really not much better than the hox. I'll use this for the week I guess and see comparisons between this and the sgs4. This screen is smaller than the nexus 4 also, some apps look smaller. I think the sgs4 will have a bigger screen and similar remote control? Anyone else not super impressed thus far?
Not too impressed with mine either. Buttons are absolutely horrible, build quality isn't blowing me away either. Might stay with my nexus 4 and it's sane button arrangement

Yea nexus 4 screen isnt its weakest con. I think the battery and camera are worse. But I'm surprised how good the remote control worked better than my 3 remote controls I usually have to use.

It seems a few of us disagree with you.
the phone is great but i feel that sense slows it down =/ i got my phone today renewed my contract with an early upgrade paid almost 500, and now im slightly regretting it.
Shouldn't be stuck on stock Sense for long. I think once someone gets an AOSP-based 4.2 ROM up and running smoothly the One will be good to go.
Here's to hoping the so-called bootloader blunder will continue for a while to attract some good developers. If HTC shuts it down then this device will more or less suck compared to Nexus 4. ( just my opinion, AOSP > all OEM skins and is more important (to me) than hardware specs)

I'm usually the first one to criticize Sense, but I haven't felt like it's slowing down this phone at all. There's the occasional jerky animation, usually just when adding widgets in the launcher, but that's about it.

The camera on the One seems a little less reliable (im getting more out of focus or slightly blurry shots) but people have said an update is coming that fixes it. The design of the One makes Samsung look like a bunch of amateurs. The screen is much better too. I'm not sure why, but no one ever mentions how poor amoled displays are out in sunlight. You can't even read them! But the One is nice and clear just like other IPS displays. Battery life is enough to make it through a day easily and I'm really liking the boomsound speakers.

Personally, I'm glad to shed a little bit of screen size in favor of a more manageable, attractive device. The Note 2 is great, no doubt about it, but the HTC One is better. There's no other way to say it.
I like the screen on this device vs my note 2. Also the screen size for this is much more manageable to hold and use rather than the note 2. I miss using one hand. Lol
The only thing I miss is the battery. However I placed an order for a battery pack in case I need it.. lol

i miss the screen size when i'm reading emails, text messaging or surfing the web. it's not to the point that i can't/won't adjust to a smaller screen. battery life so far has been in line with my expectations, meaning it's been enough to get me through my normal workday. i knew going into my "trial run" that the One could not compete on the battery front. yes, the One is easier to maneuver vs. the Note II but not so much that it would sway me away from the Note II. one thing is for sure, the One is one sexy a$$ kit that works well and has not let me down relative to the hype. my decision is which one will get used most often... right now, my Note II has temporarily replaced my laptop (UltraXPS) on flights to/from client sites and when attending meetings (which averages about 4-5 hours every day). the One is being used as my business phone. my plans now are to keep both devices.

This is exactly how I feel! I really, really love the Note II, and it's only been a couple of days with the One, but I definitely still "feel" like I'm missing something or leaving features behind. It's some combination of the removable battery, the screen size, the S-Pen (used infrequently, but cool when I do) and yes... a few of those gimmicky "kitchen sink" features Samsung throws in that are actually useful.
The One is clearly an awesome device, so I'm giving it time. This is a trial run for me as well, and I feel like I'm right back where I was last year with the One X+ vs. the Note II. It still boils down to a "beauty" vs "the beast" choice, and I'm not quite sure where I fall this year.
Well... as the title says, I just got my HTC One today! I love this phone so much...

I also just found out yesterday about HTC killing off the One S. Didn't know about that when I sold mine, but now I don't regret it one bit! The commercials were totally right, this phone is everything my phone wasn't. I LOVED my One S, but the ONE is absolutely incredible.
Htc updated the international model to 4.2.2 but knowing HTC it wont be long this phone will quit having updates from htc and if it does it will be year later. I used like HTC when I had the Sensation but after owning the Amaze I became very disappointed with them. Lack of support and dev support were just or worst than LG. But I did played with the One and the S4 side by side and like both. Like there are stuff I like about the one just are there stuff I like about the s4. But I know that Samsung has become very loyal with updates and support. Although back when I had the sensation I hated samsung because of the way they treated vibrant owners

Honestly I am not too worried about getting timely updates. I like the phone the way it is. If I wanted to make sure I got updates quickly, I would have stuck with my Nexus 4 which is an inferior phone to the One.

By better he means 13MP than 4MP with a bigger block for more light. I played with both phones today and the s4 beats it one on day light where you will be using the camera 90% at time. Also S4 low light feature is not bad.. But when HTC comes out with a new Sense version is sad but they will not put it on the one. just like they did with the rest of their devices.. The only reason I would get the one if for something different. I've been jumping back and forward with samsung and htc.. Now LG is another story, I wont be spending my money with them because they dont have good support.

Overall, the camera is better in the s4 than the One. I've played with two sets of demos of each phone and tested the cameras side byside inside the tmobile stores. My findings were, the One had problems focusing on targets that the s4 didn't, also the the One pictures are not as clear and detailed as the s4 in both distant and macro shots. The one most definitely has a slight advantage over the s4 regarding low light shooting, but when it comes to the average user everyday use, you'll be shooting in good to decent lighting and you'll want good sharp detailed photos from them!
I'm just sayin

Having always had Samsung phones and loving them till s3 with all of the bloat, I was really thrown off by touchwiz. It is too bulky and feels laggy, not to mention it makes interface plain ugly. To me, every app on htc one makes android more appealing, while s4 does opposite. I ended up rooting and putting 4.2.2 on my HTC one with elemental x kernel and ordroid Rom... My god... This thing flies, and battery easily outperforms any device I've seen.

Even the note 3 with iys rumored 8 core cpu and 2+gb of ram will lag. It's not all about processing power, it's about a well optimized operating system

Anyone who has lag doesn't know how to setup their phone.
Just changing the CPU governor greatly effects the phones responsiveness/lagginess. Changing the tunables within those govs will change it also. Kernel settings, ram settings, controlling background app functions all completely change how the phone responds.
For performance and no lag I run mine on fiops or deadline with interactive. Interactive set with high speed freq set to the my highest frequency, go high speed [email protected] 70, min sample at 90,000, and timer rate at 18,000. I also change all the kernel's VM settings so that the system writes it's information more frequently and favors the current foreground app and drops old apps more frequently freeing up memory.
Not great for battery but I experience zero lag.
I don't remember stock settings but typically its set to a happy medium with ondemand and cfq. With low ideal frequencies/sync frequencies.

I've seen no appreciable lag on this device. It really is a nice combo of hardware. Nothing like a flagship phone.

Agreed. If you have lag on an s4 .... like the meme says .... youre doing it wrong.

Yeah I've been a lifelong HTC guy. I love my ONE, but battery is killing me. I've never had a SAMSUNG so I'm a little nervous about the S4. I may wait till the 12th for G2 but patience isn't a virtue I possess

If you don't mind Fisher-price build quality, go for the s4 if you can't wait. My girlfriend has the one and my battery easily doubles hers with double the screen time

I know. I do not care for the Samsung plastic, you think g2 will be better? You have s4?

I came from nothing but htc devices to an s4. Other than the cheap construction and weaker reception, I love it. I'm not familiar with the g2. Who's making that one?

If you use cases with your phone y9u wont notice the cheaper plastic personally I use hard plastic cases on every phone I've owned so the build material doesnt effect me because they all feel the same

Oh yeah. They seem like good phones. I'll never own one simply because, well, who has one? Which means mediocre at best developer support. After having a rezound and very little dev support, I will only go with Samsung purely for the features and great rom development or only for flagship htc devices.

All I can think about LG is lame a$$ phones other then the nexus phone. I can't bring myself to even think of LG. They will have to have better phones for awhile before i would consider them. Moto has always had the best quality phones but lack luster update times but that should get better. I have have always had Moto phones but this year i finally went Samsung GS4. Easily the best phone i've had to date.
Personally i never drop my phones and are never in my back pocket so i don't really care much if it's plastic or metal. Plastic just makes it lighter. Plus like a few said once in a case, it matters not if plastic or metal. It's such a ridiculous gripe about plastic or metal. I want the best phone period. That is IMO the GS4.
Meh, just my 2 cents
