Androidkampen: Galaxy S4 against HTC One - Swedish Dagbladet

Samsung has long had a good flow in the market and is currently the market leader position. Galaxy S4 is the sequel to its successful Galaxy S3, which in turn followed on from the successful Galaxy S2. The one with a keen eye probably look a certain pattern here, and it need hardly be mentioned that there is also an origin Galaxy

components and software inside has changed, but the origin of philosophy is basically the same – the aim is to build a phone with the sharpest components available and with time, the Company supplemented with additional features such as gesture and eye control.

On paper, the Galaxy S4 and HTC One two very similar phones. They are based on the same powerful quad-core processor and has the same connectivity, but labeled it clear that there are two phones built by companies with radically different conditions.

while Samsung has emerged strongly in the market, HTC has gone reversals in the sales statistics. One is the phone that will reverse the trend.

If you put the two phones side by side, it becomes clear that it is not entirely wrong to have the gun sometimes.

Galaxy S4 basically looks like the Galaxy S3, it requires a trained eye to distinguish the new model. HTC One does not look right like any other phone on the market. When you take both phones in hand, the difference is even more pronounced.

Samsung drive on the plastic as main material, and even if the structure is stable, it is class difference compared with the shapely aluminum construction HTC One. The Taiwanese phone is better in the hand and feels much more lavish.

In terms of components, the two phones are thus quite similar. Software-wise, it’s mostly a philosophical question which you prefer – both have their strengths and weaknesses. After the latest update, HTC’s software layer on top of Android, Sense, aesthetically pleasing, and new features like Blink Feed – bringing together social media and other sources into a single flow – are pretty slim.

Samsung continue driving on their Touchwiz, but have added a lot more effort into new features such as gesture and eye control. The phone pauses Youtube video when you look away, or automatically scrolls when you reached the end of a page fails, however, better in theory than it works in practice. In reality, it is more a gimmick with development than anything useful.

camera of the HTC One is another example of the Taiwanese manufacturer was pressured to try something new. Where the Galaxy S4 and most competitors boasting 13 million pixels, the HTC One only four million. Instead they have focused on larger pixels and let the marketing department rename them to ultra pixels. The idea is that larger pixel area will collect more light. In poor lighting gives it utelning, which is HTC One hard to beat – but when you zoom in or viewing on a larger screen, it is clear that the detail is not as good as the competition.

nutshell, both Samsung Galaxy S4 and HTC One very good mobile phones. Galaxy S4 is a bit boring election, with its plastic version. But it also takes home the award as the little safer choice as One lacks both removable battery and memory card slot.

But if you look up one more notch and look at the market as a whole, it is clear that it is the incremental improvement ‘time in the mobile world – it is evolution, not revolution that apply. The tempo is so high that it is easy to be blinded by speed.

Compared with an almost two year old Galaxy Nexus so, today’s higher resolution screens, processors, more cores and higher clock speed and the cameras have gotten better.

But little change has actually taken place. Something major development leap was taken. Manufacturers can say what they want about eye tracking, ultra pixels or water protection. Development is proceeding rapidly, but the trend is the same time and stomps on the same site.

For my part, get the next development leap happily come to the battery area. It’s really the only thing I miss with my old monochrome Nokia phone – a severely Snake-dependent despite so did it himself several days on a single charge.
