Hey guys and gals, I have about 2 hours to make up my mind. I know this is almost pointless to ask on the HTC One forum, but I will anyways lol.
I just signed up to AT&T about a month ago and chose the S4 at that time. I have been going back and forth and toying with the idea of getting a One.
There is a guy locally who wants to do a straight trade with me. What do you guys think? What would I gain with the One that I don't have with the S4?
Thanks!

I have had my One for a couple weeks and I'm coming from an S3. The only things bothering are can't remove the battery and no MicroSd. I'm quickly realizing that I don't need to carry around my entire music library on the card, but having to annoyingly plug in sometimes 2x a day isn't going away. The speaker in front are awesome as well as the metal body. I don't know if I'll trade it in, but as of now I'm liking this phone a lot.
Thanks for the info. I went and checked it out and backed out of the deal. I don't think I would ever be able to get over the button placement, rooted or not. And the feel of the buttons was not fun either. And the notification led was a joke. They may as well not even put one. For some reason I really rely on the s4 one lol.
For now I'm sticking with the s4 but I will update this thread if I change my mind.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda premium
After using quite a few Android devices, the button placement didnt take long to get used to at all personally. Plus I really dont like having a physical button to press at all, thats just another moving part. The S4 is decent but theres way to much Samsung crap installed on it that gets used a few times, then forgotten about as well. Sure I could root it and install GE roms or what have you, im just very partial towards HTC myself over Samsung. A company that has its back against the wall is more likely to pump out a quality high end device to try to win back its market share, and the One is a perfect showing of that as opposed to Samsungs "blanket the market with alot of devices" approach
Either way, the One and the S4 are the TOP of the line at the moment, and you really cant go wrong with either.

Lol. I played with the X in a store and thought it was a joke. Flimsy feeling build quality, horrific camera and vanilla Android with a couple extra features.
If I wanted that I would get a nexus 4 for much cheaper. Except it has much better build quality.

The X is faster than any phone (I have all of them). Excellent build quality. Active notifications, touch free, Motorola Connect, best battery on any phone (actual use) and fastest (even faster than my Z Ultra with quad core 1.9ghz).

Other than a few extra software features, what does it have over the nexus 4 which is much, much cheaper off contract? I understand the nexus doesn't have LTE, but the Moto X is extremely overpriced for what it is. It felt like a toy in my hand, I don't understand where you get excellent build quality from.
And there is already a free app in the play store that does active notifications. Even though I don't currently own it, the One blows the X away. Just my opinion.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda premium
Yeah I thought the One was good until I got the X. It has separate processors to handle the touch free (if you installed that free app your battery would die in an hour). I thought the X would suck be caused of specs. I buy every new phone an d compare them. I hated the Nexus 4 so no comparison. Terrible battery, felt weird in the hand, wireless charging was good. The new X has a crazy good feel in the hand. And those software add ons are huge.

I went from a s4 to the HTC one and I'm glad I did the s4 is a s3 with a bunch of stuff crammed in it the phone was rushed I think that the s3 was better I didn't get that wow factor or that I got a new phone so I can't put it down whith the s4 if you come across that trade later down the road take it the HTC one is the better phone this year and I had all the samsung phones all the way back to the samsung nexus I think they drop the ball this year

Have a moto x and HTC one from Att been using HTC one as daily driver for about 5 weeks paid 199 for it got the moto x for free through a friend that works for Att last Friday and they are both brilliant devices with their on separate charms and personality with that said I find myself using the moto x more and more its just as fast as HTC one and feels more comfortable in the hand its a very good device for everyday use it is better than s4 I had and I think better than my beautiful highly speced HTC one but that is just my opinion from using both I don't think moto x will be a hit because people look at specs and price at the expense of user experience. Get a moto x give it try might be surprised as I was.

With the Moto X having a 720p display instead of a 1080p like the HTC One or GS4 I would hope it feels fast. It doesn't have to push all those extra pixels. But even with the higher resolution display the HTC One is smooth too. The build and speakers are a nice plus.
Still stock and loving it. If I ever get bored I will just root and flash something else.
Sent from my HTC One
To say the HTC One is faster and never used the X is just stupid. I am not a fan boy and love my One. I am just telling you facts. When the Note 3 comes out with the 2.1 or 2.3 quad core, it will run same as X. My Xperia Z Ultra has a 1.9 quad core and is slower than X. Moto has 2 separate processors on top of its dual core processor to handle information. It will be the sleeper hit of the year. It's first Android phone that is as fast as an iPhone.

AT&T is sending me a brand new LG Optimus G to resolve a customer service issue I experienced with them while trying to troubleshoot an issue, actually a few issues I was having with the phone. So, I have 14 days after it gets here to decide on if I want it or the manager handling my claim said I can contact him and he'll send me the One X+ or the Note 2 instead. Amazing service, especially since I am not being forced to re-new my contract or return my One X that I currently have. What is your opinion?
How big are you?
If you are a largish person with big hands, I'd say go for the Note 2.
I had my heart set on the Note 2 when I went to upgrade my phone. My heart sank when I held it in my hand. It was way too big for me.
So I came home with my LG OG. Can't be happier.

The Note2 is way too big for me and I had the HOX+ after having the HOX. Returned the + as it wasn't close to being the same phone as the original. It was laggy and ate battery like crazy. So I went back and exchanged it for the LGOG and I love this phone! Battery life isn't great, but I still like it better than the HOX+.

I wear XXL men's gloves and I still think the Note 2 is too big. Unless really you want the stylus (which wasn't a big deal to me), I say go with the LGOG. I've had it for a full month and it's been a great phone.

I was really close to buying the Note 2 but after playing with the LGOG...I was sold.
After playing with the LGOG I knew I made the right choice personally.
The stock software isn't given nearly enough credit anywhere on the internet.
To pretend that touchwiz, sense, or any other flavor comes close to the amount of customization this phone has on stock is well.. sad.

This is same dilemma I am in. I have 11 days left to decide but I have an unlocked international One X that has the variant 3 Tegra in it (all 4 cores can run 1.6) and I got the JB update. Each day I like this phone more and more. A few reasons...idle battery drain is amazing, speed and screen are incredible and I saw in store the 16 gig SD was able to be increased to 80 total internal and SD so I figured I would try. I do have one more line to get though...

Is there s off for One X+? I know they way they are updating the OneX to Jelly Bean is a long process with all of the different international cids. There is zero lag on my One X running JB and I am sure X+ is the same but actually I used one in an AT&T store and it was same speeds as my variant 3 One X. Then I tried it again at another store and it was much faster. There's no Sense lag on JB. I am probably going to add a 2nd line and change to family share and split between both phones

That's what I said HTC is not real unlock bootloader, you still have to flash fastboot cmd. There is real unlock bootloader for X+ but need extra hardware and gold card cost extra money , currently only few knows how to do it. Not software not software hack like LGOG.

Hrmm,
I honestly would go with the Optimus G.
Optimus G Pros Vs Htc one X+
-snapdragon s4 pro versus tegra 3 ( s4 pro is 24nm as opposed to tegra 3 40nm) smaller which equals more efficient(also newer)
- light skinned UI vs htc sense
- in terms of aesthetics I think optimus g is better overall. extremely sleek!
-newer better battery I think its lithium ion polymer vs lithium ion
I'm getting my first smartphone via the FedEx man in two days and it's an HTC One X+.
I was seriously considering the LG OG, but, I've not yet had a chance to play with either phone. I ordered mine via walmart wireless, because I was able to get the One x+ for $150 with a $100 wal-mart gift card.
Reading this stuff though, I think I owe it to myself to head over to the AT&T store and check out the LG OG. I can always return the X+ and go the LG OG route. My only concern about the LG OG is that I play a lot of games on my phone and the lack of 'Tegra Zone' games is a bit of an issue. Although, I'm not sure I can name 1 Tegra title that I just HAVE to have.
I briefly owned a Nexus 7 but had to return it due to a hardware fault. If only I could look unto the future with a crystal ball and see what kinds of games are going to be coming out in 6 months, lol. That is what I really need to know!
Anyways, sorry to be so long winded, it's my first post so I can't help it. Only 9 more to go until I make an a$$ of myself in development chat! Yay!
I am planning to get a new phone and i cannot decide between the One X+ (international ver.) and the LG Nexus 4 (N4).
I want:
Extremely Smooth.
A nice UI (User Interface) to brag about.
A future proofed phone
Hard Gaming
Downloading - Wifi g/b/n optional /a
Above average battery life - lasts a day or more.
And lastly, i will not root my phone as soon as i get it - but i might think about it. But, it may be unlikely.
For:
I would get a N4. but, i hate the fact that i would not be able to get HTC's awesome widgets. - Weather...
The N4 is basically similar to Apex Launcher.
Against:
I am getting tired of the sense interface. It is very similar to Gingerbread. - which makes it kind of boring.
Nexus has the new gen specs - flagship processor, 2GB Ram..
I am actually happy with my current HTC Desire Z - rooted with ELITEMOD. But the thing which annoys me a lot is the battery life - 7-8 hours minimal use - no games.
Other phone suggestions are welcome. Not LG, GS3, iPhone.
PS. I like touchwiz, but the SGS3 is not a option.
I dislike the name LG, so it is not a option - Yes i am picky. With a exception for the Nexus series.
...A decently new phone which WILL get the Jellybean update.
Update:
If you are reading this in 2013, I recommend getting the HTC M7, Nexus 7, or if you are in the main stream get the S4, or the New Samsung Galaxy Note (not the note 2).
Rumours say the M7 n the new galaxy note will have a camera which is above 10 megapixels. Rumours also say the HTC M7 will have a tegra 4 processor.

How about the Razr HD Maxx?
3300mAh battery, so plenty for extended gaming sessions, and it is due to get Jellybean very soon. Might not be cutting edge enough on the specs front though with only a dual core S4 & 1gb ram.
I've only had my One X+ for 8 days and haven't done much gaming to be honest, but I have noticed that extended periods of browsing can chew through the battery, so gaming would run it down even quicker ( depending on your screen brightness level I suppose )
Tbh if the Razr had an lcd / ips screen I would have one now instead of the One X+ as I hate amoled screens. That was the only thing that stopped me picking one up.

For me it's how they can over saturate the colours, and that whites can look more of a grey / blue colour than proper white. You do get deeper blacks with an amoled screen though.
It doesn't bother most people to be honest, and a lot of people like the over saturated look, but I personally prefer the more natural image quality & colours of a good lcd / ips screen.

Just to chime in
I've been kicking around the same decision re: Nexus 4 vs HOX+. Having a Nexus 7, I love the look of stock Jellybean. Not a fan of the Sense Graphics/Themes and find the look dated (as mentioned in this thread already). If there was a foolproof way to install AOSP on the HOX+ and get the Google OTA updates, that would make my decision for me. If anyone knows of this option, I'm all ears.
Not to hijack the thread or anything. If I have to start a new one, I will. But since the OP original decision making process may require this info (really reaching here) then it could be answered without a new thread subject.
On another note, the reason for my leaning to the OneX+ is: Design: the feel of this phone in the hand is second bar none. Screen: Superb. Storage: Huge and therefore, lack of SD not a concern. Second Iteration: the kinks have been worked out of its construction, quality appears very good. Camera: One of the best 8mp on a smartphone with good camera software to boot.
Negative: Software: UI Design looks old, less sophisticated to my eyes. Updates: with stock Sense 4+ they will be slow and most likely stop before updates stop rolling out for the Nexus 4 stock.
Get the HOX+ its a no brainer really!!!!! Its the best device out right now!!! Even better than the DNA. I just got mine today, coming from a HTC ONE X, this phone is perfect. Its got 64gb of storage, jb, and sense......what else could a guy want?!!!! Its the perfect device in my mind.

I love my DNA but in your situation, I'd take the One without hesitation. Although our support is good (to me) the One will get wayyyy more support due to the widespread release and availability. Personally, I'd do it just for those two b*tchin-azz speakers
I have the Droid DNA and played with the One side by side at the announcement a couple weeks ago. The One has alittle more weight to it. The design of the phone is incredible though. The dual front speakers, etc. And you know they will support the One and delay on the other devices as usual. If you trying to get on VZW though I dont think its coming for them. Right now Tmob, Sprint and ATT.
Its the same phone. Depends on what you like to look at.
After the htc one honeymoon period its just a DNA with metal body.
This goes with every new phone coming out this year.

And a better processor, and camera, and more storage and battery capacity.

If you're referring to the new HTC One, if i'm not mistaken about its name, then it would probably be the better choice to pick that because it's 'slightly' better. Not to mention global and will probably give you a little more support.
Although if you had to pay more or wait / do anything special for it. DNA would be my choice, they're both so great that it doesn't really make a difference anymore. Storage could be an issue with some people, but not in my case.
There is only ONE answer

Go for the HTC One, it will get more ROM support for a longer time, has improved in every aspect over the DNA, and is HTC's only flagship for 2013, or so they say. The DNA may not go beyond sense 5, while the One will surely go beyond

same base CPU with diferent Name. JUST WITH MORE CLOCK... and with a Custom Kernel you can Get 1.9Ghz on your DNA to
SAme GPU Adreno 320...
Is the DNA with different Chasis thats all...
Diference is the Camera and more Storage and more battery (with custom Kernel and Roms you can get better battery )... I prefer the DNA because is Bigger is nice feels great
i live in mexico and i dont need to be with a carrier and i will wait tile 2014 and see what can me offer the HTC DROID DNA is more than enough for the moment thats my opinion
SAME THING WITH METAL BODY... im fine with 8MP camera ... that takes 1080p Videos

The DNA uses a snapdragon s4 pro, roughly based on A9 architecture
The One uses a snapdragon 600, roughly based on A15 architecture

I love my dna but you'd b nuts not to get the One. It's HTC flagship for 2013
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda premium
I also love my DNA and i have had many htc phones last one was the HTC One X which is also a super phone and although the HTC One seems like a great solid aluminum phone its been downgraded to a 4.7 inch screen and the 5inch screen has spoiled me and its great on my hands... I will personally wait to check out the Galaxy S4 that apparently looks back at you and u can control with your eyes
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
The HTC ONE is a better phone in almost all aspects, aside from a .3 inch smaller screen (which is preference anyways). I don't see a reason to get the DNA over the ONE unless you needed Verizon's network or got a DNA for cheap.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda premium
ok guys i make up my mind....i will get another dna because i love the black and red combination.....one is the new flagship but i can get dna without paying anything because i sold my dna with broken digitizer for 500usd....also i live in Greece...europe..so verizon it;s not a deal for me....i like silver htc one but is too expensive for me at the moment...having one x+ right now....today i am gonna post my dna...tried sense 5 and i liked it.....thanks for your help...i know that one is a better device but not too far of course...my dna is running smooth...is not laggy or something...like my sensation xe...so...a new dna would be the best choise for me at the moment.....in the future maybe get that "one" but want to have a hands on first....release date for Greece is around the end of April..so right now i will enjoy DNA!
I'm thinking about changing phones I'm on T-Mobile with my amaze no longer under contract. I was looking at what they have to offer and had 4 thoughts. I'm looking for input.
1. Get the iPhone 5 and sell it to make a profit and keep using my amaze
2. Get the HTC one the processor isn't much faster than the amaze and the camera isn't as good and it also lacks SD card slot
3 get the nexus 4 16gb looks pretty nice quad core processor and is aosp but still lacks an SD card slot
4 keep my amaze and wait till it craps out.
What do you guys think? And I checked out the HTC one forums and saw sports on there so I personally ask you sports how's the HTC one

It depends. The one is a good option because it will probably be popular enough to attract development. Plus there's a 64GB option. And the Camera is actually pretty good. And I think it has LTE. Have you considered a GSIV

Just went through this. New HTC one is very fast, don't let mhz ratings fool you. Go use the phones until the sales guy kicks you out.
I tried new htc one. Old htc one, nexus 4 and LG Optimus g cousin, s3 and note 2. All much faster than amaze. All great phones.
In the end because I didn't want to lock into contract, nexus 4 and LG Optimus g were hundreds less than the rest. Went with Optimus for LTE. Arrives this week.
Hoping when s4 is finally on display in my area I don't regret it. Based on reviews like trusted tech heads at arstecnica the new LG Optimus g pro phablet is the benchmark king. Out shortly if you like the size.
Keeping my amaze as my ORD phone.

Go with the ONE. Hands down, the best phone I've ever had. I got the chance to play around with the s4..wife has the note2. It's a good device but nothing like the one. S4 was choppy and laggy, the other stuff is just rusty bells and whistles. My ONE chews up everything I throw at it...no lag. I watched a few videos on it here and there but today I watched Zero Dark Thirty and was blown away. I'm keeping this [email protected]!

Before picking up any phone I would make sure to check out what bugs people are noticing in the forums. Things like how the amaze capacitor lights bleed etc.
No regrets on not waiting for s4. Tried one out for an hour yesterday. Great phone. Just not hundreds of dollars greater than others I looked at. Happy I went with unlocked lg.

I've been using a HTC One for the past couple days and it's really fast. The front speakers sound clear and pictures are all right. The phone has no grip though so you might want to pick up a case on Amazon. The profiting from an iPhone sounds like too much work for not enough money. The Amaze is still quick for most things so unless you hate it I think you should keep it.
Go with the HTC one. It's great and development is amazing! Battery is also awesome. I get 4hrs screen on time! Sense 5 is also very fast and minimalistic making it an aosp like Rom that just tons of extra features!
I upgraded from my amaze.
You can also use the HTC logo as a Menu button so you won't lose screen realestate from an on screen menu button.

If you're like me, you're ready for a new phone every year around this time. I was hoping to see a DNA2/Butterfly2 from HTC, but that doesn't look like its going to happen. Alternatives are few unless you want to go Max-sized with the HTC One Max, but at 6", that's just too darn big. I thought the Note series was too big, but the Max has even topped that.
Anyway, for those of you looking to move past the DNA (don't get me wrong - it is still a GREAT phone, especially running Viper 2.0!), what are you thinking?
Maxing out with the One Max? :cyclops:
Settling for Samsung?
Trying to Live Good with LG G2?
Or just holding out until something better comes along?
I voted for the One max in the poll above, but honestly I might be turned away by the huge size. I already have trouble typing one-handed on my DNA sometimes, but the expandable memory and huge battery would be a nice upgrade for sure.
If the size puts me off, I'll probably just wait for whatever follows up the HTC One. I'm grandfathered into unlimited data anyway, so I'll likely be buying whatever my next phone will be either at full retail or from eBay/Craigslist/Swappa.
I was really looking forward to the One Max. I wouldn't mind the bigger size because of the idea of using a bluetooth mouse and keyboard on remote desktop. However, now that the specs are officially released by HTC, there's no way I'm settling for the Snapdragon 600. Considering other recently released devices are using the Snapdragon 800, like the Note3, HTC is making a huge mistake with the slower processor. I'd like to stay with HTC, but I'm not settling for a 600. I'm starting to lean towards a Note3 but I'll probably wait for the price to come down a bit.

That's the phone I'm waiting for. Giving up Verizon and my unlimited for it. But it will be worth it. I miss the Dev support that came with my gnex. Also not having Verizon mess with my updates will be nice for once
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
Nothing that's a big enough improvement yet. The One is barely better than the DNA, and the Max is just a blown up version of the One.
Nexus 5 likely won't be on Verizon, so I'll be waiting for next year's flagships.

The specs are not that impressive on the N5, IMHO.
I plan on staying with the dna for quite a while. Nothing out right now really catches my eye and is convincing to drop my dna. I hate Samsung so I'm just going to end up waiting for the next best HTC phone.

I pulled the trigger on the DNA when Best Buy was giving them away. So far I am loving HTC coming from Moto only for years. I hope when it comes time for another upgrade there will be another awesome HTC phone for a great price.
I will most likely end up with the HTC ONE or a Nexus 5. Probably the One though. I like sense 5 way too much and the One is too solid of a phone to pass up.

Post DNA plans?
The DNA was my first phone on Verizon when it launched. I'm not due for an upgrade until late 2014. If I had to choose a device from the current crop, i'd pick the Moto X or the G2. But I'll wait until 2014 to make a real decision, but I would like to stick with HTC if possible. And by possible I mean if HTC has a device on Verizon with a similar screen size but higher ppi, much larger battery, more storage and the latest version of Android.
But that's what everybody wants right?
I would get the HTC One Max as soon as I could :upgrade or no..... I'd buy it the day it was available.
The new size is perfect for what I want in a phone.
But because I am into esthetics and the feel of a phone: that "rubberized" back cover, and I don't think I will ever see that style again, I'll keep the DNA.
I never cover my phone with a case!
iPhone 6
I'm sticking with the DNA for now.
One Max = too big for my personal taste
N5 = wont be on Verizon, and due to company rules, I dont have (or really want) another choice of carrier
G2 = nice... but not a big enough upgrade/difference for me to pull the trigger
Its interesting because with CM 10.2, I really feel like my phone is running so well that for the first time in a long time, I'm not itching to upgrade. Very weird feeling. But I think its due to the fact that there isnt a single app/game that I use which has problems or lag on the DNA.
Truly a supreme phone.
Yeah I love my DNA slick thin light but feels solid as do all HTC phones in my opinion. There really isn't a phone out or coming out that would make me feel jealous. This phone benchmarks with the best of them and we have a slew of roms out. Plenty of development by top devs who know a thing or two about fixing these issues we have.

I'm going to definitely stick with HTC if at all possible. If they updated the One with wireless charging, possibly a 5" screen (current size is good too) and the latest tech, I'd bite as soon as it came out.
