Samsung Vs HTC owners

I was wondering why do all the evo owners that's bashing the nexus s as a inferior phone are the same ones making threads about being on their 4th evo replacement? I'm a evo owner by the way and I'm on my launch one, no problem.

A lot of people apparently hate samsung for phone quality and lack of updates. I have an Evo, and I've had a samsung phone before [not a smart phone], but it never did me wrong. And I have my 32" Samsung LED tv...beautiful. I have nothing against them, personally.

People can't live without conflict and trying to aggravate each other.

I owned a Samsung Epic and an Evo. I'm posting this from my Evo because the Samsung just wouldn't work after the froyo update. Samsung's support is worthless imo. My wife and sister in law both have Samsung Intercept's and their about to get different models of phones because those phones are worthless and the Sprint rep I've been talking to knows it so...
As for the new phone, maybe they fixed the many issues plaguing their other phones but my old Epic's (yes, I tried 4 different ones...) Gps could only get a lock down to 6 meters vs the Evo's 1 meter, and the bluetooth stack on froyo just sucked. Sounds would stop playing, I missed lots of calls... Until they prove themselves again that they can make a product and support it, they won't see a dime of my money.

Some such as myself want to always move onto bigger and better things and Samsung have the potential to be that and do that as that's what they're always selling (See Epic 4g) and they always come up short. The Instinct was dubbed the original iphone killer [email protected], Samsung Epic was supposed to be better than the Evo and it's still crippled with GPS issues and now this phone even with it's supposed better screen still has issues with the color white (with the blue tint) and this day and age releasing a phone with not even a micro SD slot for expandable memory. Samsung is a company that pushes you to almost want to love them, then gives you reasons to LOATHE them. And I mean really loathe them.

ROFL thanks for making my drink the new accessory to my laptop keyboard!

Going from an evo to a nexus s is like going from a BMW to Mercedes; your BMW(evo) is the complete package and still up to date yet you want the Mercedes (nexus) because your BMW has a little extra mileage on it. The nexus s isn't worth leaving the evo why waste your upgrade on a phone that's barely superior. I'm not bashing it I'm just saying who cares about the "pure google experience" that single core processor will be out of date by the end of 2011. I'm not saying the evo 3D will be the best but I wont waste my upgrade on that plastic single core Samsung phone lol.

Threads like these are retarded, like that team crap over twilight, which side are you on? We already have several HTC vs Samsung threads a few pages down.

In my opinion the phone is hideous, was thinking to upgrade but no way in hell am i doing that....
i got a feeling Samsung designed this too look like sh*t, to sell the galaxys2 and save customers for their new stock coming soon. This looks like some cheap Chinese knockoff. But the sad fact is they look a lot better...
what do you guys think.
EDIT...
NEW pictures released look a lot better still not feeling the soft key icons as much though....

looks like a galaxy s2, what did everyone expect?
the nexus s should have been a pretty obvious clue

It looks like a phone

The rear shot is actually the Nexus S. The front shot is Verizon's Prime. In conclusion, you are jumping to conclusions too quickly.

ICS in general is ugly..

The prime was too deep into development when google bought Motorola for them to just abandon the project. If there is going to be another nexus after the prime then chances are it will be done by Motorola.

According to Google (whether or not you want to believe it is another story), the Nexus phones will still be a contest for developers. Just because Google owns Motorola doesn't (supposedly) guarantee that Motorola will be the exclusive Nexus manufacturer.
I really hope this is true, because I am sure this is a major thing manufacturers push for. They may not sell as well as some of the other phones out there, but they get a ton of clout and the developers are very quick to stand behind them. Anything that challenges companies to try to one-up each other is a great thing in my book. That is what drives innovation.

Pictures don't always do an item justice
The N1 is no looker when seeing it online--which i am reminded of everytime I download MIUI from their Rom page
But, in my hand, it looks and feels great-------

i always thought the N1 looked better in photos, in hand the frame is too big and the colour is not to my liking, the images show a more darker black/brown

IMO, the supposed design look hideous but i like the software though, colorful, eye catching definitely except for the damn home menu and back buttons. WHERE IS THE F*ING SEARCH BUTTON! >.< i know it's weird but i am one of a few people who uses it a alot. on my n1 the search buttons serves as quick autorotate on/off and search function as well. Another biggest thing, doesnt that phone in the photo looks 4:3 rather than 16:9 to you guys?

I no longer think Nexus is ugly. The new picture shows aluminium type of edge around the phone. The first leak of the pics prob preliminary. I likes the new pics by modoco.

you're right, but it will win any usefulness-contest among any Androidphone with its trackball

Engadget says its on the samsung website if you simply search for it. No specs yet. Just 2 and a half more hours till the specs are released >

The phone and the software are beautiful. What ever the op is smoking i Dont want any of it. I would snag that phone in a minute If it wasnt a verizon exculsive. I hate verizon with a Passion.

I don't think anyone in their right mind, even the hardcore Samsung fans, would disagree with that assessment. They may not admit it though, but deep down, we all know which phone we feel is most pleasing to look at.

Not to mention the cartoonish and childish look of TW compared to the elegant, premium and matured-looking Sense UI.. S4 do really look cheap not only on the outside, but also inside..

Why yes, yes it does. And so did the SGS3 compared to most of its competitors including the One X. The N2 looks cheap too compared to other devices but look what LG's gone and done with the 5.5" Optimus G Pro. Why do you think that is? Answer: the "cheap" looking phone is a market leader and sells in massive quantities and LG wants a piece of Samsung's pie. LG's taking a "if you can't beat them, join them approach" while HTC's going their own way (again). We'll know which approach wins by mid-year based on sales.

Funny thing I like the LG's design more. It's so sexy and that's the first time I ever said about an LG device not counting the Nexus.

What strange remarks!
The One seems to have awesome build, it definitely feels expensive and looks pretty awesome compared with almost all the competition. Can't argue there. But to post side by side pictures of what could be almost identical phones and say that one is sexy and other not is just silly. We all - I assume - know that the UI can and will be changed by most if not all users that read this forum and another launcher will probably also be installed. That's one of the joys of android.
TouchWiz, Sense does it really matter. I really disliked TouchWiz on my Galaxy S, put that was 3 years ago. TouchWiz on my Note II is crazy smooth and fluid and to be honest never really seen as I use Nova Prime or SSlauncher.
I chose the Note II for the battery, the screen size and the S-Pen. Others choose for other reasons. Lets live and let live.
One last observation. The UI is just a door to the fun stuff on the inside!

Stop that stupid phone comparison threads! They are not welcome (see Guide sticky). We don't need those fan-boy battle grounds.

HTC ONE m9 Leaked

I really hope the video is a hoax

I guess that HTC went with the "if something isn't broken don't fix it" moto, cuz the only major improvement is the camera.

Another leaked video from Upleaks:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGvnyii8xlc
I think it's a fake... Look at the M9 when the guy is taking the photo to the girl: the phone has got a thick black stripe under the screen, while the one over the screen is very thin. Now watch the rest of the video: the upper strip is bigger, while the other is thinner... Oh cm on! And sorry for my bad english
Also these advertisements are really bad made... I'm not really sure they are true!

Really hope this isn't the m9. The black bar is just awful.

ho my god
it s an M8 again :crying::crying::crying:

I really dont get why all negativity, the M8's design is great and better than the competition in every part of the build. So why would HTC Change what yes ain't broken, the Camera is meh on the M8, so its now been improved, the performance if the M8 is anything to go by will be fantastic. There will be other things I'm sure that will change that mindset.
I honestly wasn't expecting huge changes in design and that's cool with me. I would safely assume the M10 or whatever the 2016 model may be will have that change.
I'm sure you'll all be happy when you purchase

I'm a bit disappointed in HTC, banging on the internet doors that they are bringing new things to MWC, just to show us a refresh/fix of the M8 (Yeah I know they will bring more stuff).
They better be calling it the HTC one 8.5 or something, because this isn't a number change worth.
I still think the M7 is a better looking phone then the M8, just because of the radius on the corners, and because the bottom and top speaker have the same width.

what a disappointment

Its not that bad lol I didn't mind how the m8 design was.

I'm not convinced this is the final version of the m9. With the leaks in the past few years, it's possible HTC is creating their own leaks to generate buzz. Regardless, I still love my m8 and am getting the m9 when my tax money arrives.?

I agree. I'm not sure it is real. Look at the poor editing, the screen images are not correctly aligned with the phones edges. Not the professional video I'd expect from HTC.

the only think us htc m9 fans can hang onto is the spigen case picture. If you look at their pictures with the cases there is no black bar the the bezels are pretty small the front facing speakers are redisigned and thats all I need.

Sorry to burst your bubble guys but shown is known to do this, they are restricted and prohibited to release or leak the actual images of the up and coming mobile phones, it would defeat the purpose if unveiling it at the MWC.
Look what they did with last year's Galaxy s5
They thru everyone off on purpose to think Samsung had finally ditched the home button....
But no..
Right after the unveiling they quickly replaced the image with the accurate one. After all, all they really need are he sizes and the shape of the device, the font doesn't matter, it could look like mickey mouse and all they talk need to do is show off the case... the front has nothing to do with the case, the front camera or speakers have nothing to do with the case.... Nothing...

Hmm.... they didn't put attention to detail in this one. Check out the differences..

Well, what might actually be the case here is the picture on the left (the camera app) is actually taking the photo, the picture on the right is viewing the photo in the gallery app so the space on the top which would be the supposed bezel would simply be extra space as the picture isn't full screen.
Take that with a grain of salt, because that whole commercial doesn't really feel that 'professionally done'. It could just be graininess but when watching the screen you can almost tell that some cgi work was done on it.

Based on the this link from amazon the black bar with the HTC logo is gone
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Spigen®-MET...TF8&qid=1424885797&sr=8-2&keywords=htc+one+m9
if it is true, is a good step forward!

LOL i don't think thats the phone, and well spotted with the difference, the smile and no smile on the phone screen, fail

Get real guys that's the M9,not saying there won't be a ultra version also but that's the M9

We're talking about the photo being different. The photo they zoom in on has obviously been retouched and was not taken with the M9 straight out of the camera.

M8 improved upon...

Still don't think the m8's looks have been surpassed. Definitely not by m9 and, from what I've seen, not by the a9 either.
Specs don't, to me, seem significantly better either. No front facing speakers, only 2gb of ram, for UK.

Is it a question ? Open it in the Q&A section next time

No, a, GENERAL, observation re. the m8.

Granted the title and the questioning emoji don't help. However it's basically a general discussion. Not quite on the A9, but the M8 in general.
HTC is literally on a last ditch effort at this point in their history. Where the future will end up with them being bought out, closing shop or hopefully getting back on their feet and becoming a well received icon again.
The M8 is a pretty well designed device, granted it has it's downsides that everyone has their own opinions on. The M9 is its own beauty, but I've stuck with the M8 because it's still a capable device and better looking. With the A9 sure its design language HTC had well before the Iphone 6. However a device as well received and common like an iPhone it will be a copycat to the general public. We can all make our statements against calling HTC copycats, but at this point it's a label that will stick.
I would like to see their next flagship be something to wow us all. A design that is HTC. If they attempt to improve on the M8/9 design again which isn't entirely a bad thing, but a new fresh look would be nicer. The M8 has been the longest daily driver I've kept in a long time. I normally go for their new flagships, but the tides might be changing. Once my M8 gives its last breath if the common trend continues I'll regrettably be moving away from HTC.
For the love of all things not the iPhone. I sure hope not

Then change your title as it has question marks all over it !

I still love my M8 and dont feel the need to upgrade really. It has great looks, great performance... The only thing I miss is the battery life I used to have when we were on Kitkat. Also, there seems to be an occacional lag that only goes away when you clean recent apps...seems to me that HTC rushed the Lollipop update, I hope they fix these issues with the Marshmallow update.
Regarding the M9 I find it hard to believe they will be able to acomplish the 15 days after Nexus window for updates since it still has Sense skin, but time will tell.

Dude, this is exactly my point of view. I hope HTC will make it. Since I moved to Android after breaking my iPhone 4 back in the days I stuck with HTC and I hope there'll be plenty of reasons to continue with it.

Ah yes a question it is......reported to be moved to the Q&A

I bought the m8 after I decided not to buy the m9.
I certainly hope HTC and come out with something awesome once again. I remember really liking the concept drawings of the m9 before the m9 was announced, and those looked amazing. If only HTC would take a hint from those designs...
I really wanted to buy the m9, but it was just not worth it when it first came out.

Using the M8s (as couldn't get M8) along with the P8 and more less shifting towards the P8. As die hard htc fan never thought I will end up with Huawei device. They support is much better and P8 is an excellent device, bar battery life, but it does a full day with some 35% around 6pm still available. I'll skip the M9/A9 and wait for the M10. If not happy then sticking with P8.
