Samsung Galaxy S4 HTC One advantage compared:

· Larger screen support gloves and gestures
· Higher resolution camera 13 megapixel
· System update (Android 4.2.2 Android 4.1.1)
· Multi-window tasking operating and other proprietary software
· A higher frequency of the processor, scalable storage
· Can be replaced with a higher capacity battery
· Additional sensor (barometer, thermometer, hygrometer)
· Slimmer body
HTC One compared to the Samsung Galaxy S4 advantage:

· Better aluminum alloy texture
· OIS, 2 micron pixel size of the image sensor
· HTC One, BlinkFeed software
· Beats Audio support, and FM Radio

Perhaps advantage through the above analysis, it seems like Samsung Galaxy S4 is superior, but in fact, it is not so simple, because the advantage is not only reflected in the number, as well as its practical significance. For example, HTC One smooth metal body clearly more attractive than the Samsung Galaxy S4 hygrometer. There are two actual shooting of the phone quality is worth a careful discussion. At the same time, the presentation style is very different: the Samsung Galaxy S4 seem to be more emphasis on playability, the system contains a large number of regulatory function, TouchWiz for new users is easy to use, but there are more advanced motion-sensing capabilities need to learn; HTC One opposite style biased fool of operation, in whether HTC Zoe software, or optical image stabilization, Beats Audio sound function, basically do not need a complex set of regulation.

If you ask me, which one to choose, the answer is Samsung S4. I am now a user of Samsung product which is Samsung Galaxy S2. Since I am already familiar with the phone, as in the system, applications and etc. it will only take me a few hours to learn about the new functions in Samsung Galaxy S4. Plus, I am a camera addict. Therefore, the 13MP camera of S4 will give me a lot of satisfaction when it comes to the quality of the images. Besides that, the air gestures makes me easier and faster to look up the gallery images and to browse the internet. I also would like to throw my votes on Samsung Galaxy S4 for its larger storage (External 64 GB + Internal 64 GB maximum) because I love to download the High Definition (HD) videos by using my phone. Thus, with this larger storage I can downloads as much video as I can as well as the Images.
