Hi guys and girls. I just picked up a SGS4 LTE Snapdragon 600 Quad Core today..its the same processor as HTC One, just clocked faster.

All I can say is, after USING it, I feel it is inferior to the HTC One, and the HTC One is clearly a better phone.

+Sense UI looks better
+Bundled apps are minimalist, useful stuff that you need such as Flashlight, TouchWiz comes with rubbish I don't want to use like ChatOn, WatchOn etc. etc. Just too much bloatware
+The screen, Super AMOLED. On auto brightness, its always confused and too dim for the surrounding *indoors*. Screen quality is acceptable, and no complaints from me
+Did I mention the Sense UI looks better? Everything, from the apps grid, to the fonts used
+The phone seems buggy, my Jawbone goes wonky with it.

The only part is, the camera is not purple in low light.

Oh well, I miss my HTC One very much, but I can't accept having a RM2k phone that is faulty.

I wanted to buy Xperia Z1 but they have faulty yellow hue screen. The  Xperia Z1 which has a perfectly white screen is also inferior in viewing angles compared to their Xperia Ultra, which they claim is the same screen but its not. Samsung's AMOLED flagships easily beat the Xperia Z1 screen.

So.. I pronounce HTC One is still the king of Android for now. If your camera is working, I hate you. If your camera is purple, I pity you.

im in the same boat as u.. sold off my purple tint htc one for s4.. i won't say its that bad.. but clearly sense > samseng bloatware..

im ok with s4 tho..the only other reason htc one annoys me us that there is no way to wake up the phone except for pressing its power button(without rooting).. if they had a home button like s4, i might still be using a htc one..

i had some app as well for waking up.. but they're all battery hungry..
and the once using proximity sensor isnt that sensitive
oh well.. im happy with my s4 so far.. but i do look back here once in a while to see any improvement hahah

the reason why i don't like Samsung is primarily it's hardware design DNA and the feel of it. Well it looks great on advertisement, but them u get a feel on it... doh.gif nowhere close to the build on Apple, HTC, Blackberry, Nokia and all others... It's their sheer marketing power and their creativity on putting tons of "bloatware" aka useful features that wow consumers but most of them won't even use in life.  doh.gif also, i don't like the oversaturated screen of AMOLED but i have to admid, they have improved ALOT... I love Note 3's screen  nod.gif but the back of the so called leather feel cover feels doh.gif  doh.gif nuff said...
PS: i don't really mind the touchwiz although i don't like it, just flash other custom rom. only thing for samsung to improve is changing their design DNA  laugh.gif

yeah the hardware of s4 isnt exactly world class.. but nowadays most of the phone in casing/cover anyway.. make with what material also useless since all covered up.. hahah.. i cant wait to see if htc improve their future phone tho.. maybe their next flagship will have a decent camera.. (and maybe they can fire all the CS in malaysia or appoint new ones lol)


btw with my htc one.. the purple tint not only exist at dark area.. but also in the morning.. all my pictures had purple tint on the side in the bright day light..thats why i was so @#&@*# and sold it..
kinda envy those with perfect camera tho sad.gif
