Another One vs S4 comparison - Sprint HTC One (M7)

Ok, I lied. We all bought the One. If you regret it, get the S4. End of story. I for one love it. If you're unhappy with the S4, you can always switch back.
Delete if you want, mods. Just had to vent. Tires of people saying one is better than the other. This isn't a p***ing contest guys!

Red S3
Sent from my SGH-T999
Vivid dev is struggling right now due to some massive infighting, I wouldn't go there,
OneX is not an upgrade to me with non-removable battery and no SD slot.
Heard pros and cons on the S3, guy at work has one and it didn't feel as bad on the "cheap plastic" feel I heard described previously, I would try it for myself if I was about to switch.
S3... development is the fastest i've ever seen for any device, but you'll have to deal with overcrowded forums, and a little hostility here and there... yea its a plastic phone, but feels solid, has nice weight to it, and feels even better with a case on it...
One X

Nexus 4 for HTC ONE!

Hi
I have a friend who got the new HTC One and he wants to trade it for my Nexus 4.
Would you people do it?
Is it worth it?
I kind of like it, and i want a new phone but i want people's opinion in the matter, what would you do?
PS: I have no complains with my Nex4 what so ever, has not fail me even once. Just that i got that offer pending.
Do it. If you decide you don't like it, you can sell it, buy a new n4, and still have money left over.

I would never trade my Nexus for a non-Nexus device. Pure Google experience is not something I would ever want to give up..

he's got a point. its always worth trying especially since you would be able to sell it. do a pro/con list of both devices and then ask yourself if its worth it.

I would do it. I have a one x and was thinking of getting the one. Htc makes good phone. As was mentioned, you could always sell it and come out ahead after getting another N4.

Your kind of right, i really like the pure google experience, but if you come to think of it, if i root the phone and install CM for example it will be the same thing as i have right now. I don't have my phone stock for the pure google experience.
if given a chance, HTC One is the only device for which I will trade my N4. both are amazing.

You know how the nexus is already. Find out how the one is. If you prefer the nexus then sell the one and buy a brand new nexus or trade it. I'm sure it would take about a minute to find a trade for it.

I'll chime in with those thinking you should do the switch for the HTC One - I have tried two of Samsung's TouchWiz devices between my Nexus devices, and while I never kept any of them for more than one month before switching to a newer Nexus, I haven't regretted trying out "the other side".
And it helps that the HTC One seems truly awesome, if given the offer I would probably accept a switch just to try it out.

I'm not exactly new here since I've been a member since I got my HTC HD2 way back. I've just never contributed much to these forums. But I've always come here to find new roms and try cool things. I then moved up to a galaxy S2 Epic 4G Touch. I ended up hating that phone so much. Sprints updates really messed it up. So I finally have my HTC One and its the best phone I've ever had. I used to do a lot of different custom Roms on the HD2 but not so much on my newer phones these days. I've only rooted my HTC One for now. I kind of like the Rom that came on it.
Not new to XDA but pretty new to the One forum. I'm coming from the S3, and the following: Motorola Photon, S2, HTC Evo Shift, HTC Evo 4g, HTC Hero, Samsung Instinct 2, Samsung Instinct. I'm sure a few more where in there along the way.
HTC One is hands down the best phone i've owned.

how dumb am i for trading my htc one :(

how stupid am i for trading my htc one for the nexus 4. there was nothing wrong with the htc but as of late i have enjoyed experimenting with different phones.
i just watched this review and it really made me miss my baby http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5zKOwrzZUA
nothing i can do now i guess i just hope this phone stays relevant....DONT TRADE YOUR HTC
I am sorry to hear that, mate. There's nothing wrong trying different devices, but I'd never trade up my HTC One. It took me days of research and I realized that the One is the best device for me.

Man thats foolish, on the other hand if it would be the other way around you would have been so glad you traded your nexus 4 for a htc one. i know i would be.
I traded mine for a S4. That lasted 1 week and I traded back for a other One. I've had a lot of different phones to test and none have that feel like my HTC.
The S4 was nice but Touchwiz is not a well coded interface. Camera is over rated on the S4 and was my main reason for trading. It's not that much of an improvement over the Note 2 sensor.

Just got a new HTC One last night after selling my BB Z10 after a couple weeks (the BB really was nice but it has major issues with Contacts management & sync w/Gmail-Google Apps).
Anyway loving this One but I'm keeping my Note 2 because it's a fantastic phone as well; I have a cheap secondary tablet plan on a separate SIM so the Note 2 is now more like a mini-tablet.
While setting up the One today I ran thru all the test for defective sensors etc, and happily everything works. Once I scraped off the excess glue and other rough edges, the thing is now perfect
Not a recommend trade IMO.

The Nexus 4 is a great device, but I hope you got some cash on top of it for your One. To be completely honest, I really love the HTC One, but I missed the Nexus 4 so much that I just bought a white one with a white bumper and a wireless charging orb. You are only dumb to have done this if you didn't get any cash on top bro.
I will trade you a very good condition HTC Inspire 4g for your nexus 4 if you want!

No. The S5 still has Samsung's Touchwiz monstrosity and it still looks a bit cheap. The camera does look amazing, I'll give it that. But after having the Moto X running (mostly) stock Android, I can't imagine going back to a skin like Touchwiz.

No. It has TouchJizz, ugly dimpled back, 5.1" screen, and physical navigation buttons.

My initial impression of it is not good, but I'll wait for reviews and a chance to play with one before making final judgement.
The Z2 blows the S5 out of the water.

What he said.
Are you kidding? It's bigger and uglier than the s4, the stock ROM is supposedly 8gb, there's no innovation, the fingerprint scanner is basically unusable with one handed usage, still uses a pentile screen, new touchwiz looks as bad if not worse than the old one etc.

Not even in the least. If anything, a terrible phone like that makes me love my X even more.
It reminds me of a Note.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk
I don't see anything coming out or announced that would make me leave my x this year.
I would be more tempted to check out a new iPhone than anything Samsung is putting out these days. I just can't stand the look of their phones anymore. I had an S3 and the S5 looks pretty much the same in terms of design. same dumb home button, same obnoxious backlit buttons, same clusterfudge of features that do nothing for me and never will.
Its gonna take a really really great phone to get me to throw away my custom made, beautiful piece of technology.
