Phone materialship, HTC hands down. Samsung is definitely THE industry leader though.
Both the One and the S4 are neck and neck as far as I am concerned. They are equals and both have pro’s and con’s.
I just like the one piece aluminum shell the new One has. It’s just a sexy phone.
Also, 32GB is more than enough for me. I only have 8GB of music and like 3GB of pictures on my phone…so it’s actually over kill. I don’t need removable storage, etc. and my current HTC EVO 4G LTE has no removable battery and I’m fine with that.
