The VERGE's review. Enjoy.

while debate same issue over and over again

Good news for those in Singapore NOW!!

Real demo units arrived!!!



I just molested this phone for 20 mins, now feeling wanted to "rape" this phone...  

What an incredible phone that I have never ever seen on this planet.

Not a single lag in this phone.

Things i tried on this phone:-
- Open camera only needs 0.000001 sec (estimate la...), but the main point is this is the fastest camera launch I have ever seen.
- Blinkfeed is amazing, despite initially wanted to disable it.. after seeing this phone, I will certainly wanted to keep it permanently.
- Played the Real Racing 3 on this phone with BOOMSOUND enabled, WTF... graphics smooth like hell on ultra settings. (Imagine this is only a demo unit and non-rooted phone and has been molested by few hundred ppl before I tested this phone)
- Screen display is unbelievable bright, viewing angles are very good.

What else I can say?...

Buy Z now ( or better choice butterfly) than resell trade in for HTC one n later change to S4
Looking at your previous buying trends I am sure you can afford it
Than you have chance to test all

HTC One vs. The rest - Camera Shoot comparison

http://www.technobuffalo.com/2013/03/12/ht...era-comparison/

There goes the 13mp camera...mehh.

The review shown HTC ONE really quite good compare many smartphones out there. It's consider one of the best!
Oh... even ONE performs quite well in camera! Awesome smartphone 

Super indoor low light snapper based on the examples. The best pics I saw for low light indoor shots.

Low noise and high details. Really impress with the 4 ultrapixels camera. 

most of the reviews shows ultrapixel trump all the 13MP cam.. but the picture taken is abit soft and less sharp in outdoor pics.

So..when can we get our hands on this baby..?
Hope it's not after S4 arrive here

I thought it was already quoted end April here and end March in Spore . Since you are in JB, get it from Spore. HTC has excellent service support in Spore

4mp is enough. unless u do print out your photo at full frame size

btw :

You should add in the comparison chart of wireless QI charging feature.

Another reason I will opt for HTC One instead of S4 is base on my experience of S3 and some review video of S4.

Not wanted to feed the troll but I just want to share my experience.

HTC's Sense UI is one of those smoothest and user friendly compare to other OEM (Moto, Sammy, you name it). Why?

Try to Open the Dialer or Gallery on a S3, you will know what I mean.

Processing speed could related to Processor but more importantly is how well the software optimization. I flashed a Custom ROM on my s3 now, running Xperia launcher. I can feel that Xperia Gallery load a lot faster and less lag. This time S4 had add on a lot their own proprietary apps, I can feel it will be heavy. Base on the review video, I can already feel it, unless it is still beta stage.

Nevertheless, some of their new feature is indeed attractive.

Just my 2 cents

Can I have the HTC One's build quality and design and the SIV's microsd slot and features? but sadly, right now, I cant

S4 will be a huge success. with all the marketing budget. sure many people will buy.
i have no problem with plastic phone, but hope their design the phone better in the future.
Even the " UNDESTRUCTABLE NOKIA 3310" also plastic

Dont compare Nokia 3310.

Nokia 3310 is in year 1995. In year 1995, ppl will not complain if phones are made of plastics due to technology constraints as during that time, technology can't produce zero-gap aluminium and weigh just 143g

We are now in 2013, if phones are still in plastics, ppl will complain as ppl expects more quality build phones.

Only TW on Note2 is smooth. The rest quite stutter. I'm using TW launcher on Note2 but for other phones..use Nova.

Bro, don't poison me any further.  i thought of using the scuff-prone aluminium issue and the late availability issue to justify my possible purchase of S4. Now you sway me back again to ONE. I will be sleepless tonight thinking about it
