OK I almost bought the HTC One but I think I'll be going for the Nexus 5 instead for my upgrade from my current iPhone 4. It's more powerful and much cheaper, runs the latest stock Android, has a screen to match. It loses out to the One in looks (although from pictures its minimalistic design is not shabby at all), storage, and obviously sound quality. But if I can get my friend to bring it back from the UK at RM 1,300+ then it's an absolute bargain. Even if the price goes up to RM 1,600, I think I'll be choosing the NExus 5 still.

It's funny because just two or three weeks ago I was contemplating between the HTC One, Xperia Z1 and the iPhone 5S. Three days ago I was all set getting a One, and then the Nexus 5 just appears and suddenly with its price everything else seems ridiculous. the 5S is TWICE as expensive. Crazy.

1. I don't use LTE at the moment.

2. The uk unit has the same LTE band as Malaysia. From what I read anyway.
