Previously I had to choose between S4 and HTC One. Since I'm a newbie, rooting wasn't really important. Whats important is I get to expand the memory/transfer files easily using SD card and also replace the battery easily if needed. So it was a no brainer.
I just hope I made the right choice.

Are you sure? please check your facts.

HOX already get official 4.2.2 while S3 and Note 2 still stuck at 4.1.2

HO will get 4.3 this month while no news for S4.

Updates wise, HTC confirm better.

Just ask HOX users how they feel when their phones get updated to Sense 4+ and the recent Sense 5.

Samsung all along Touchwiz and even that, there is not much changes between 4.1, 4.2 or 4.3 Touchwiz version.

Why not HTC Butterfly S?

Even between S4 and HTC One, I advise you go for HTC One. You wont regret with the 32GB internal memory of HTC vs 16GB internal memory of S4.

Please read how many ppl complain S4 only left with 10GB when they got their phones and no space to install 3-4 apps that is above 1GB each.

S4 got microSD? what the use where you can only install apps and games at the internal memory.....

Not to mention the dual stereo front speakers which S4 dont have.

True that.

Kingmax? Is it good?

I'm surveying Yoobao. Got this seller selling 13000mAh for RM155. Tempting but i'm searching for other options too.

I chose s4 simply because I have heard personally from friends and relative that their htc keeps on giving problem, even after repetitive repair by SC.

also s4 pictures are nicer, although s4 is not as snappy as htc one.

I guess it really depends on what you use the phone for. I only have about 8GB of space to use but since I mostly use my phone to do a bit of browsing, take pics and watch videos (all which are stored in the SD card), internal memory was never a big issue because I don't install big apps like games (I have an ipod touch for that because well, Apple games are much better than Android). No matter how much memory you have there will always come a time when you want more so its safer to go with one with an SD card so your recorded videos or pics won't eat up your internal space.
As for speakers, I almost never use them. Prefer earphones.

yeah..true.....

depends on personals
n
HTC Butterfly S just comes w latest Sense 5, S600 SoCs and lacks the 4G
just have the BlinkFeed and Zoe only... ....

No, only Taiwan version is non-4G.

Malaysia and Singapore version is 4G.

Standard procedure for HTC and Sony fanboys. They only come in for bashing only.
Take a look at their official thread and you will know how many problems their phone have.

Today average battery life with everything off, except WiFi (at home) on, Mobile data(at work) on, Power Save on, screen rotation on, multi-window on is 10.5 hours with screen on time 3 hours. My activities today are just light WhatsApp and SMS, just 2-3 calls that does not last 5 minutes, some light games for less than 10 minutes, surfing for 15 minutes, check mails 3 times.

Today plugged off the charger at 9:30am with 100% battery, just now 8pm already 15%.
