Hello I'm here to explain why I'm very disappointed with some of the YouTube reviewers about the Htc One vs. Samsung devices
PHONEARENA
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdkkKpbOZto&feature=youtube_gdata_player
This site say to their reviewers that the SAMSUNG GALAXY S3 is better than the HTC ONE just because it's cheaper in price, so Wtf with that? They are comparing both phones, not prices, obviously a new phone will be more expensive than an old one, so I don't see the point of telling that the s3 its better than the htc One
PHONEDOG
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHK71jWvRSY&feature=youtube_gdata_player
As this guy is talking about both phones I noticed that he just talks about all of the features the galaxy note 2 has over the htc One but not viceversa, he just talks some of the cons of the htc One and keeps saying that galaxy is better just because of the S Beam feature because he uses it a lot with his family. Omg what is that? just because he uses that feature it means that it's better, he is a reviewer, an arbitrary person, he has to be NEUTRAL PERSON!, imagine I'm an arbitrary person in a soccer game and I give the game to "A" team even if the "B" team scored more goals, but I decided to give the game to "A" team just because I like the uniform...
And trust me or not but much people make their choice basing on the reviews and that is a shot for the back to HTC company
Maybe Samsung gives some cash to those reviewers? That wouldn't impressive me at all.

I haven't watched the Phonearena one yet, but I'm going to now. As for Aaron on Phonedog, I can tell you that he's doing a 30-day challenge with the One right now, and he's made some very good remarks about the device. He also spent a lot of time talking about only one feature of the Galaxy Note 2, and that was the S-Pen feature. While it's only 1 specific feature, there's a lot to go over with it. He's been using it longer and has had it in his possession to figure out all sorts of things it does. If you watch some of the review videos for the One that he does, he's definitely finding the HTC product to be better.
Well I love my Note 2 but to be fait Aaron is a big Samsung fanboy. The Note 2 won every dogfight and the S3 lost only once (in the S3 vs Note 2 dogfight). Or maybe he just really loves touchwiz and all the features it has, one thing well known is that he prefers touchwiz and sense over stock android.
Here is something to cheer you guys up.
Does it matter? As long as youre happy with it.

Awesome review there
What's the problem? Is it that people have different opinions than you? It's their subjective opinions, and i wouldn't dare go into a discussion with you about anything if you get all fired up about this. This is the point of reviews; to see if a product is good or bad, so i can't really see what the problem is. If some guys says that one thing isn't quite that good, you object? Do you know what a review with no negative points in it is? It's an advertisement or an overview. Not a review.
Remember, it's all subjective and every single human being on the planet has its own opinion.
Quit worrying about youtube reviews.

Yup. Quit worrying about reviews and make up your own mind. If you don't have the chance to test it, then wait until you get the chance. It's pretty damn easy.
Not sure about Phonearena, but I consider Aaron from Phonedog to be one of the better reviewers out there. The problem is that people watch these reviews and take the reviewers opinions personally. I watch these reviews in order to form my own opinion based on the facts I learn. I could really care less if the guy thinks the phone is worse at this, or worse at that, as long as I know what it can and can't do and what's important to me.
Best Reviews are coming from Ava. But she hasn't received her HTC One yet. I would recommend to check her site regularly for reviews, since they are really very well made and she is pointing out every single detail you will not find in other reviews. Here is her site: http://www.uoobe.com/
No best reviews are from Erica (TheAngelOfMusic on YouTube)

Agree. I was sceptical the first time a watched a review of hers, but damn she's good. She mentions technical details like other reviewers do, but she explains it so even a noob can understand it.

I don't have a problem with it but my problem is that they are not fair, example Aarons to me is the best reviewers out there but on this he just talked about note features and detailed almost all of them, while he didn't mention all of the new innovating features htc One have, and said about that he love the S Beam feature so that's why he selected note 2 as a winner but a reviewers is supposed to be neutral and much people make their decision because of the desicion of the reviewer
And for the phonearena review, well htc One beats s3 in every category but he declared winner s3 because it's cheaper, so I declare winner a Chinese phone because they are cheaper, no way, that's not the point of a review but they are saying that to give Samsung as the best choice that's why I'm mad about it
I see all the reviews and make my decision about them making my own desicion but almost 80% I guess make their the decision about reviewers desicion

You are just complaining again.. if you are happy with a phone, then be it.. probably aaron finds his note2 good for him.. its called personal opinion... or you could start a youtube channel yourself and say everything good about htc...
.....
Samsung is Korean, not Chinese. Just sayin.

Every reviewer is providing their subjective opinion so their will always be bias as it's just that; their opinion. Who's to say whether a flush power button is any better or worse than a protruding one, it's just opinion. Results from objective standardized tests performed under controlled conditions are the only parts of any review that have no bias or opinion injected in to them. But then everyone rejects benchmarks (unless their device happens to come out on top) which means everyone's reacting to reviewer's opinions. If their opinions are so important find reviews that say what you want them to say.

What are you talking about? Phone Dog's review was great and he loves the One. He had nothing but good things to say about minus the battery life.
At the moment there seems to be a serious lack of reviews. All of the available ones are usually short first impression videos from the unveiling. The only two actual video reviews (and they're honestly not that great) are from PhoneArena and GSMArena. Neither really go into depth, compare the S4 to competitors, or anything else that a potential buyer would want to see.
It's pretty clear that nobody has really received a review unit yet. Android Central would definitely be loud and proud if they had (and they'd also write a kick ass review on it). For some reason I thought I heard a March 29th date that reviewers would begin to receive them, but clearly that hasn't really happened. So does anyone have any idea when we can expect reviewers to receive these devices? My choice between the One and S4 essentially depend on them.

To me it seems lika a lot more then just first impressions, and it's been out for some time already as well. I'm quite certain, that they actually have the review unit, because of all the side-by-side photos taken in their office (matches their usual style), hands-on video that's not done ina a conference room, but in their own little studio and mostly because of the battery tests!! Almost 14h talk time + close to 9h browsing + over 10h video + the charging times in the meanwhile....doubt that they can do that during a short first encounter!!

I'm not entirely sure why you can't understand what I was asking from my OP. It wasn't for existing review, but for a date that reviewers such as Android Central, Cnet, etc, will begin receiving units to review. Anyway, thanks for the link and I actually did read some of the reviews inside of it.

That much I understood, I was just trying to point out, that they (GSMArena) can't do such a review without a review unit, the russian sites as well.
Anyways my guess is, that all the people who were supposed to get review units got them and who didn't are just waiting for the retail units to do their reviews.

GSMArena and PhoneArena are proven to have received their units. Nobody else has. Android Central has specifically made remarks about waiting to get the S4 (they recently said it should be pretty soon). Reviewers definitely won't have to wait until they retail. Samsung wants positive press from popular review sites for people like us and the general consumers who rely on reviews to convince them to get "Device A" over "Device B."

Ain't argueing with that
I just thought that they'd send out the review unit at the same time, unless they favor some sites over the others. Only thing to do now is to wait for others to get their units as well, and to get enough money to get myself one of these as well
T-minus one week until pre-orders on AT&T. The reviews have to be rolling out any day now...no?

So, I see this post today:
http://www.cn-c114.net/578/a858488.html
It was a little frustrating in that the article didn't list the site where the device is being sold through. If anyone knows, update this post, please.
Oh, and this was part the article outlining the perks of the higher end model:
"The high-end version of Mate7 is of amber golden and adopts a combination of 3G RAM and 32G ROM, it is also equipped with the exclusive Huawei gold membership privilege services card, the value-added services include exclusive service hotline, a boot gift bag of Huawei mobile phone application market, free of charge to use a 160G online storage in 2 years, this phone was formally on sale in Huawei mall on September 12th."
Found these two as I was browsing. The first is an actual preview, the second is just a comparison between AM7 and iPhone 6 plus.

It does serve one purpose. To show how horribly designed the iPhone 6 'Plus' is. Look at those ridiculous top and bottom bezels. You would think that since Apple prides itself on having 'premium' designs for their products, they would have figured out a way to make a 5.5" phone smaller than a 6" phone. Hell, even the Note 3/4 is smaller than the iPhone 6 Plus, and they both have larger screens.
But what can you do, right. The lines will be around the block for it. The revolution has begun.
This one is kinda weak...
Not a very thorough review by any standards, but still, it highlights the very decent performance of the AM7. The pic at the top of the article doesn't match the AM7 though. I guess they just used a stock Huawei pic.

It's the same review site, but I don't think that video was made until at least a week after the written review was posted. The date on the written review is the 12th (the same date it was posted here in this thread), and the video review wasn't posted until the 18th. But I may be wrong.

Recombu
Found another one, this time from Recombu (never heard of it before). But once again, seems like the Mate 7 is getting decent reviews.
http://recombu.com/mobile/reviews/huawei/ascend-mate-7/#Our_Review
This is only an initial review, but it confirms that the phone gets LTE on T-mobile. Great news.
http://www.zdnet.com/huawei-ascend-...inum-design-and-solid-performance-7000034132/
This isn't related to the AM7, but it is pretty good advice as to why you might want to think about waiting before getting the first production releases available:

http://www.gizmochina.com/2014/09/27/huawei-mate7-vs-iphone5s-camera-shot-comparison/
This might be a deal breaker, as I use my note 3 which is not great but good enough for instagram etc... this noise is pretty bad though. Probably software related but how long for an update?
One more from Android Central.

Here's the final review from Android Headlines.
http://www.androidheadlines.com/2014/10/review-huawei-ascend-mate-7.html
In it, he reiterates that the Ascend Mate 7 gets LTE on T-mobile. Unfortunately, he says nothing about speeds, but when I get home I'll ask him in the comments.

Agreed, no one has had hands on at home yet.
I'm pretty sure in a few weeks we will start to see some real reviews.
I guess I'll do a mini one when I get mines, since o can compare it side by side to my note 3.

Well the timing is suppose to be metal.
PhoneArena's review of the Note Edge(reviewed 11/6/2014):
http://www.phonearena.com/reviews/Samsung-Galaxy-Note-Edge-Review_id3844
"In case you’re wondering what happens if you drop the phone on its edge, we should say that there is a metal frame that is slightly more protruded, so it would hit the ground first. This and the fact that Samsung has stressed that it uses a special, strengthened glass for the Note Edge, should be a reassurance."

Either your volume was to low or you speak softly. How is the Edge screen and is it worth a higher price than the Note 4?
One of the best/underrated reviewers on the net. Keep up the great work Lisa.

Based on my experience with this site I'd say they're spot-on with these measures.
Doing a little re-evaluation.

Incredibly disturbing
" Overall, I think that Google and Motorola have built a solid device. It isn't without its issues, but there's a lot to like, even if you're someone who has never used a phablet before."
This has been covered plenty of times already in the official reviews thread.
Do you also believe that Nexus 5 can do 8 hours wifi browsing?
That's disturbing also, no?

I'm not doubting the site, but I am highly doubting their review unit. This one as well as Arstechnica seems to have vastly different reviews than everyone else, especially on battery life, screen quality, speed, etc. I'd keep an eye out for updated reviews with the updated build and see what happens

What's the most disturbing is that OP believes that a single mixed review warrants its own thread
Disturbing...
Considering that they likely used the pre-release OS to review on and not the one that was followed by an OTA update on the 12th its no surprise there are issues. Hell the WiFi drain issue was still prominent which is why Google delayed the release of 5.0 to other Nexus devices until it was patched proper.
The review is full of inconsistencies and a few errors as well (listing the screen as a SUPER AMOLED when it is clearly just an AMOLED) if anything is disturbing here is the fact that AnandTech seems to be dwindling in tech common sense and quality since Anand stepped away from the site earlier this year.

I would agree that Anandtech isn't worth going to anymore. They have slipped a lot over the years and I personally don't use them at all anymore for any review.

Agreed, the Android Authority review I found to be a good representation of what we can expect and unbiased to the device and OS.

Yup Anand has been going downhill for a long while. Few on XDA probably remember Anand's screwup of 3dfx GPU reviews.
Of the Big 3 first independent tech review sites: Anand, Tom's, and [H]ardOCP...[H] is the only one left. All the others long since fell by the wayside.
Disturbing maybe, but I will leverage this review with a few facts:
a) this is just one review, the others have been pretty positive
b) this will be an unlocked Nexus phone on Verizon
c) these phones receive the most updates, it will be improved upon. My Nexus 10 is still an amazing tablet.
I will still be getting this device and throwing my Galaxy S5 in a very hot fire.

Be advised, Li batteries don't react well to fires.
