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/

Her reviews are great and in-depth but it's very apparent that she has a bit of a Samsung bias.

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.

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?

looks like a bunch of complaints. and silly opinion. the usual price beef... and more opinion. only his points 1, 2, 4, and 5 are valid. the rest is subjective.
I read this earlier and dismissed the entire article. It is clearly written by someone who has a dislike for the product IMO.
People did the same with the original Note and haters gonna hate... They are obviously not cool like me rocking my affordable, slick looking, one handed operating, sweet Note Edge. *shrug*

Read it, seen the same review on YouTube. This is not the device for everyone. My oldest wants my edge, he wants to upgrade in February to get it, youngest, she is happy with my old Note 3. I'm trying to talk my son into the Note 4, I can't let him have the same device as me.
Good news for samsung galaxy s7 owners that your device is reviewed as the best smartphone ever.

I've been offered a pretty amazing deal on an S6 Edge Plus DUOS, however having read here for the last couple of days it seems there's no decent quality tempered glass protector for this phone and quite a few of the film screens seem to peel up when used with a tough case.
For me having good protection for my phone (I've got an Otterbox on my S5 DUOS) is a must have and as I do work near water a lot waterproof resistance is highly preferred.
The cost difference between the S6 I've been offered and a S7 Edge DUOS is almost $300 so which way do I go?
It appears there is a much better range of accessories for the S7 Edge and it looks to me like the S6 Edge Plus units never really took off (mainly because the S7 was launched so soon afterwards).
What to do, what to do?

Not to be a troll, but you ask this in the S6 Edge+ forum, so what answer do you think most will give you? ?
I had the S7 Edge and didn't like it. Mainly because of the smaller screen, my mistake I know, and I believe that my Gold S6 Edge+ is more beautiful than S7 Edge...

S7 better battery, better night shots, water proof
S6 edge plus better for all the rest (thinner, display, sun days camera shots, "look", cost)
S6 edge plus you can use screen protector OR the case...because the case lifts the film (it does not matter if it's glass or plastic made)
S7 I didn't test this occurrence

I didn't resort to weird assumptions.....your use of language was quite definitive.
You stated "....secondly this is not a question to be made in a forum....".
That's a statement, if you want to be helpful couch you language in less confrontational terms, for example you could have said "...perhaps you would find more opinions if you were more specific in what information you were looking for....", see, less confrontational and looking to be more helpful.
You may not be familiar with an English idiom "Shooting from the Hip", perhaps you would find it useful?
I'll not be posting anymore in this thread as your contribution has made it pointless.
I normally get the latest devices, but got the s6 edge plus on T mobile here in the USA a couple of days ago. I use the leasing program called jump on demand so no money down and the cost should I want to own it, ( never do as I exchange phones often ) was reduced to $485 . That was enough for me to take the obsolete version LOL.
I have edge+ and im loving it.
No experience with s7.

its a no-brainer.
S7 edge is much more superior to the s6 edge+.
much better performance, a much much better battery, more sexy and has a micro sd slot.
the only downside is the price, which is nearly double.
