Well played HTC - One (M7) General

We'll have to see what Samsung can bring in a couple of days but so far the One has smoked every other android flagship this year in reviews and benchmarks, and is also getting a ton of free interest and attention from the tech media. Great job in 2013 from this company

Ok so?? It has been mentioned milion times...you could have posted ur opinion in an existing thread.

Cool, about 2% of the general smartphone buying public buy phones based on that. It's good that you know what your needs are though, so there will be a smartphone made by someone that suits you

Its funny how every time someone starts a new thread the first person to post something always says you have to start a new thread for this. I don't see what the big deal is, and did you have to be a troll and make that comment ? If you disagree with him starting a new thread that's cool but being a douche about it and posting that is the same thing... anyways I agree HTC one stole my heart I just wish they release the phone already

I'm a big time galaxy S fan, and I'm getting the S4 on release date but I must say I am jealous of that ONE. Samsung is never gonna make a phone as beautiful as the ONE.
As for SD and BATTERY, I find that I don't care as much as I thought I once did. With 32gb or 64gb is more than enough. Battery life is decent enough now (except power users like myself)
My wife in an average tech consumer and it's the first time she's excited for a phone release. In her case, the ONE fits all her needs well and above. Save goes for most of the average consumer. Put the 2 phones side by side and which one catches your eye the most. The average consumer knows little too nothing about specs.

AW: Well played HTC
I gotta say that I cannnot hear that things with removable battery an sd slot anymore.
First of all 32gb is enough.
For Removable battery I can say my friends 6 month old s3 battery doesn't work as it should. He loads his smartphone all the night and doesn't get a full charge.
At least for non removable battery u get automatically 2years on guarantee for batt. So please tell me now where is the disadvantage? There aren't also 95% or even 60% of people who carry a 2nd batt.
People who complain (not all but most of them) just see there isn't a sd and a non removable batt and say no I don't want that. But they don't even carry a 2nd batt or like my gf they don't even buy a sd on a 16gb s3....

I must admit, the One looks amazing. If the S4 is what was shown in the recent leaks, I'll most likely be leaning towards the HTC One.

I'm not surprised s4 is just a bigger version of s3 and slightly smaller then note 2 but just as ugly. Lol
Waiting for htc one delivery.

At first I was pissed about a non removable battery and no SD card on my one x but I've since then gotten used to it. Its not as bad of a deal as people make it out to be.32gb should be more than enough on your phone. You don't need to store 174673 HD movies on it...
I really want the one but I swore to myself I wouldn't buy another HTC until they change the way they treat devs and users who want to unlock their devices. I'll hold onto my one x till HTC changes or till a new phone catches my eye that's not all plastic like the s3 and s4 probably too. I would buy Sammy since we don't have to deal with this s-off crap but can't spend $500+ on a plastic phone.

I agree with you on storage 32gb is enough and theres a 64gb option now too.
S-off should be easy since its a Qualcom chip, Nvidia locked down T3 hard thats why there was no s-off for the One X.

Always be happy with what you have. The way this tech moves you can't keep saying "I'll hold out" because every 4 months something newer will come out, guaranteed.
Just like right now. Will I buy a Galaxy S3, probably. But I want to wait till they show what the US versions will have to make my final decision. Will it suck that Samsung will take forever for JB on that phone, yes it will. But I think the 6 months I have with that phone will out weigh holding on to my N1. Consider yourself lucky you had more time with that phone than I will with with S3 by the time something newer comes out.
Agreed
Actually I am thrilled with the One S. Snapdragon S4, Beautiful screen, fast, smooth, 5100 Quadrants, and best of all solid touch screen and 10 to 18mb read speeds. Rooted and ready to flash first rom--
Still miss N1--but sold--

Too bad iPhone brought Sprints funds down and they are behind the technology.. I don't know why Sprint had to get the expensive iPhone. Now because of that we don't have the HTC One series -.- . Once again Apple had to screw up. If only the damn Apple beggars stopped begging Sprint to get the iPhone 4S we would still be in the top. Sprint was one of the few carriers that got 4G first. Now there's only like very little phones and most are outdated. I feel that the evo LTE will epicly fail. No removable battery, which is a big deal when your running a Dual core 1.5ghz phone with 4G and LTE . And HD sounds. The 200 extra mah may be better than the 1800mah battery , but then again, it doesn't really matter.

Poor old HTC

So in light of the following news are HTC going to bring out something special or just quietly dye by the way side?

Bear in mind the current fiasco with ICS and the Desire HD.
So are you going to jump the HTC ship?
Ya well, the one series was a miss with consumers at large ,can't imagine what would have happened if the one x for example had sd card storage and a battery access
We can only hope they die a quick but painful death.
... unless they release ics source code then i don't care what they do.
Sent from my Desire HD
I am already planning my jump over to Samsung rightly or wrongly, but they are talking about launching JB on the S3 and even the S2 in the very near future! And from what I have seen they seem to deliver what they say!
Well I wouldn't want them to die, afterall competition is always good, however I've decided that my DHD shall be my last HTC phone after all that has happened. I'm contemplating on waiting for the next Google phone, immediate updates and a bugless AOSP experience, what else could one ask for?
That is what you get when you mess with all the HTC Desire HD owners!!! Not releasing ICS for their most sold phone and telling their costumers lies about HTC Desire HD performance. And the same with HTC Desire.

They should have concentrated all efforts on savage battery life combined with expansion of mem.

It’s a shame that a company with a lot of promise has now just peed of its fan base and almost washed their hand of them.
If you look at the number of ROMs in the development thread you can see that people pretty much rooted their HTC Desire HD as soon as they got them as the hardware far out preformed the software that was loaded and any potential update (although we all knew these wouldn’t come to light! lol )

Don't forget Samsung is from South Korea, so why keep spending money on SK if you know that "everyone" in SK has a Samsung phone :silly:
I hope they won't cancel the ICS update for developers. They had the same problem with Gingerbread update for the Desire.
They never released it as an OTA update, but they released it for developers.
So let's hope they do the same with Desire HD (in the future).
About One-series. It's indeed a sad story, but I think why most people didn't bought the One-phones was because most of them were probably waiting to see the Galaxy SIII and it seems that the SIII is the number one choice now for lots of Android users.
That or the New Galaxy Nexus (fingers crossed it won’t be produced by HTC) that will ruin the Nexus name IMO

Why would HTC ruin it? I like HTC's hardware
1 months ago I planned to buy the One X along with one of my best friends and I almost sell my DHD (it even already entered the "For Sale" thread in one of Indonesia's largest community forum). But after I read so much informations from early adopter of One X about how bad is the HTC's quality control over One X hardware productions I hold my decisions to upgrade because I don't wanna spend my time dealing with HTC service center.

Large upgrade for others? ^_^

I'm upgrading from a Sprint Evo 4G and I'm blown away when I compare the specs of the two phones, regardless of what Samsung throws out in the next few weeks I'm getting the One, HTC build quality just blows me away, my Evo 4G lasted 2 1/2 years or so and the battery charges like new, and the phone is 95 percent mint condition, with the tiniest scratch on the screen from a drunk accident.
Who else is making a drastic upgrade and from what model?
I'm upgrading from an iPhone 4 I've had for 2 and a half years so this is big for me, especially since I'm moving over from iOS to android. I can't wait.

I'm definitely gonna love it. While a jailbroken iPhone was fun and all, and still pretty customizable, It will never have the extensible customization android has. Also Android has come a long way since the time i got my iPhone 4. Can't wait to root my device when a root becomes available. Been reading up on all my stuff so i won't be a total noob when I get my HTC One.

The mytouch4G was my favorite phone next to my s3. Still runs great, after two plus years. Stepdaughter uses it now and she loves it.
This is the 1st HTC phone I have been interested since the Amaze, which the wife has now. I wasn't that big on the Amaze acfually, but was a nice phone hardware wise.

Yup, a lot of my friends still don't believe my mytouch is running the same OS as them and in some cases still very much powerful. If it wasn't for the One being announced, I probably would've stuck with it for a few more month maybe another year. But the One sold me.
I bought the amaze for my wife. It's a very good device. It just never got that support it needed. I'm probably one of the few that think the camera is great.

Same case here! I went to the town in Liverpool to have a hands-on today. I must say the phone is stunning, and without any doubt captures amazing photos, let alone the extra capabilities to shoot slow-motion videos and sequence shots and the ability to edit them thereafter. Boomsound is not only decent, it is so loud that it could easily fill up a small reading room without any assistance of external speakers. The sound is, of course, crisp and clear.
Ever since the phone is rumoured to release i have been monitoring its progress. Have to regrettably admit that i have never been that hardworking in my studies. HTC One definitely lives up to my expectations, in fact it surpasses them.
Ordered the Silver once i got back. Now I'm dying to get it.
Upgrading from the HTC Incredible S myself, there's nothing actually wrong with the phone, and nothing on the market was even remotely luring me into buying it until I saw the HTC One. I am completely sold on it, never been a fan of GS3 (sure, awesome specs, but I really didn't like the way it handled/felt)
My biggest problem is picking the color, I absolutely adore both black and silver, so I picked the silver out of a coin toss
Upgrading from my HTC sensation. While it served me well, I can't resist the HTC One. Was nowhere near as interested in last year's One-X series...have to say that I'm genuinely excited and counting the days until my pre-order arrives.
DHD all the way! I'll still be keeping it
Sent from my DHD
I will be leaving my trusty 3VO. Though not a huge upgrade, it's still quite the upgrade, and I'm especially liking all I've seen about the upgrade in the camera! I will miss my familiarity, as I changed my digitizer twice and my wife's once, and REALLY miss my lack of volume down button (from the 1st digitizer change)...
I'm coming from my (nearly) 3 year old HTC Desire.... Can't wait! got the black version on pre-order.
Upgrading from MyTouch 4g Slide. It all started when the digitizer got broken into pieces had it replaced then a few weeks it totally shut itself down permanently. Right now am using my HTC Sensation so yeah a big upgrade for me.

[Q] Who thinks that HTC is about to repeat the success of the Galaxy S2?

I have a strong feeling that this is totally their Galaxy S2 moment.
This will be the point where they will finally be noticed.
HTC will keep releasing success after success.
This also includes the possibility of a real Phablet coming Q3 2013 (HTC Note?) instead of HTC One+
Then next year will be the year where they will seal the deal.
Samsung will burn to the ground.
And HTC will rise once again like the times of HD2.
if the phone ever get released in the states
Certainly the ONE should break out for HTC ... but lets face it, in the real (99% of buyers) world it will be smothered in a mountain of marketing foam by Samsung and Apple, and HTC will have to be happy picking up the pieces left over from the war of the big guys.
BUT .. their corporate performance WILL improve and they will be back in the running, but as the top dog in the rest of the pack.
This is HTC's window of opportunity as I can't see Samsung making the same mistake again especially if Samsung sell less then last year which I think they will.
Htc need to take a risk if the opportunity presents itself which it has. React HTC aggressively sell their own product, market it, advertise it properly and it's possible.
S2 moment! Not really. For majority of people out there the no SD card and non-removable battery is still an issue. If One had those then yes they could have nailed it.
HTC should now come out with a 4 or 4.3" version of One (similar premium build and features), maybe 720p SLCD3 screen, with a massive (2800mAH or bigger) battery and a SD card option for a very very good price (below S3). Then only it can see itself coming back to reckoning. They need that big battery in a device pretty badly coz as of now they have that tag of making phones with poor battery life. And its all about perceptions (at least for majority of people).
+1
for the "if ever released" comment
its already rolling for some customers in the UK
and HTC has said USA is their priority market
its us in the rest of the world who will have to wait
jsut a reminder:
Samsung Galaxy S 4 gets April 26th UK release date, preorders start March 28th
I doubt it, HTC don't have the marketing of Samsung or Apple to sell 90 million+ units.

S2 moment! Not really. For majority of people out there the no SD card and non-removable battery is still an issue. If One had those then yes they could have nailed it.
HTC should now come out with a 4 or 4.3" version of One (similar premium build and features), maybe 720p SLCD3 screen, with a massive (2800mAH or bigger) battery and a SD card option for a very very good price (below S3). Then only it can see itself coming back to reckoning. They need that big battery in a device pretty badly coz as of now they have that tag of making phones with poor battery life. And its all about perceptions (at least for majority of people).

I don't think no SD card and removable battery are an issue for most people at all, only some. 4 people I know really well have an SGS3, none of them have a second battery or bother with the SD card. In fact, I think two of them don't even know about these 'features'.

HTC will be success only if the customers can get their phones in Hand in time......Delaying will kill brand loyaltiy

lol, sure why not.
most people couldn't care less about sd card and definitely most people don't care about non-removable battery.
the only people that do care are phone nerds like yourself.
End of.
The sdcard argument is so played out. 32 and 64 gb storage isn't enough?
The removable battery argument I get but the new qualcomm processors allow charging to be very fast

Who's getting the LG G2?

So it has arrived, with it's super thin bezel, 5.2inch True HD IPS LCD, Snapdragon 800 CPU, 3000mAh battery and new LG UI:

With all the GS4 complaints I see around here, some seem fed up with it, so, who of you will be getting this new beast?
Me, I'm very happy with my GS4, yeah it's got its flaws but the pros far outweigh them, and I'm still loving my Octa beast!

Well not me i'm 100% Happy with my i9500
This thread is like trying to sell hotdogs outside of a mosque...

And you think the LG G2 won't have any? I haven't seen an "issue free" phone launched in the past eighteen months by any manufacturer and that includes the Nexi. Some flaws/issues push individual's buttons more than others so going to another phone may be right for them. But they're just trading one set of issues/flaws/compromises for another.

Errm...where did I say it wouldn't have any flaws?
It's simply a thread to see who's leaving and what people feel about the closest competition to the GS4. It's like some of you are reading way too much into it.

Apparently that is Market Dependant, major letdown if the major markets don't get it. Don't know why they don't just release them all with SD slot.

Because some carriers want to force people to use the cloud so that they can sell them more data allowance.

Looks like a pretty cool phone! That button is an interesting idea. Don't know why we have to make it a pissing contest with the sgs4. They are just phones, not gods. Wish phone mfgs would stop leaving out the expandable memory. Wish Google would treat sd like a real memory expansion. All this cloud stuff is for the birds!
Nice to see LG competing. Nice phone!

Nice internals ... to me the back button as i saw it seems atrocious ... the idea is really cool ... the implementation as it seems in the photo is bad for my taste ... i'll stick with gs4 anyway .. i find it pointless to replace phones that early anyway ...
LG G2 is an amazing phone but, I'm gonna wait for the note 3. To be honest I'm disappointed with the amoled screen on s4. My s2 screen was so much more brighter and vibrant.

im happy with the s4 and LG is known to have crap support and non-existant updates, but the G2 looks like a great phone phone hardware wise and the flip cover idea is what samsung should have done with the s-view cover
if im going to trade my samsung it will definetly be for a Sony

If every time a new high(ish)-end phone was released a thread seeking people's "feelings" toward it was started those threads would cannibalize the front page. In the past few weeks we've seen the XZ Ultra, One Mini, One Max, Moto X, Note 3, S-800 SGS4's, Sony Honami, and a S-800 One+ rumor in addition to the LG G2. I'd guess some percentage of people that own a SGS4 would be interested in some of those phones for various individual reasons. Finding those reasons out becomes more a market research study than a discussion about the specific device whose forum the question is posted on. That's why most mods aren't really keen on comparison threads; no matter what their title says.

+1!!!!
This whole 'in the cloud' thing just doesn't work for me, not at all! That's why I like Samsung, they give us both plenty local and cloud storage, so we can choose. I hate what Google has done with the SD card treatment in Android, one of the main reasons why many of us chose Android was iOS limited us in storage, now Google are doing the same, just look at the Nexus 4, 16GB the highest you get, pretty pathetic really.
Keeping my s4. Lg twice. lg never again.
Crappy support, updates what is that. And whit one lg i had hardware issus so 3 times send it in to repair, the same lg did to 3 of my frinds.

Finding a case will be fun for the G2 i'd imagine
Thread closed, I fail to see what the LG G2 has to do with the Galaxy S 4.
