HTC one or Galaxy 4

[Bonnie007]

I can't make my mind up which one to get.  I love features that both offer.  I've previously owned the galaxy 3 which I did really like, then went back to iphone 5 which I now HATE.  Seems so old fashioned in comparison now. 

But I have read so many reviews on htc and galaxy that I am now undecided which to get!  I like the look of the HTC and the tiles on the front but feel that the icons look 'old' where as galaxy looks richer.

I use my phone a lot for emails, facebook, twitter, texting and photos.  

I have been into shop 3 times now thinking I had decided but then change my mind again arrgghhh.

Anyone else been undecided?

The HTC One seems to win out in most reviews as far as build quality goes, and many reviews say that the Galaxy S4 is gimmicky, but there have been some posts in the forum that some people have had issues with the HTC One microphone. It's a difficult choice to make.

For me, it comes down to how much you value the option of an external SD card and a removable battery.... The HTC has neither of these. Other than that it comes down to which phone you like the look of better. Historically, Samsung have been more proactive with software updates, but it's too early to tell if HTC's stance will change for the One.

Already received software update 1.29.401.12, which is a 229mb with main improvements for the camera (not sure it needed improving IMO) so I reckon HTC are going to do whatever is necessary to ensure the One stays top dog and lure buyers from Samsung (and Apple for that matter)

Should be noted that my handset is unbrabded tho - over to you o2

Have you got 'hands-on' with the S4 yet MI5?

Not had a proper play. Manged to get to look at one on display in Tesco but it was fixed to a plinth. All you could do was stab at the screen.... I like to have a hold and a feel
