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)

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.

Wow, like seeing some great N1 news! About time!!
Hip-hip-hooray!
N1 also ranked higher than iPhone 4. sweet... Wondering why?
ah finally SOME recognition. But of course, the ipad was ranked number 1
I'm shocked that the N1 was ranked above the iPhone 4. I love my N1, but I have to say that the hardware on the iPhone 4 is incredible.
Perhaps it was rated lower due to its antenna issues.

You guys must be reading a different article than I saw. The one I read was more of the same "sales didn't meet expectations, it's not really that great of a phone but more of a novelty" drivel that I've seen written by everyone who doesn't "get" it.
This year Google tried (and failed) to capitalize on customer frustrations with wireless-phone manufactures and their multiyear contracts as well as the dominant tech company's brand. Nexus One is the first and only phone designed specifically by Google to take advantage of its Android software platform. Nexus One, which Google called a superphone (I can almost hear the sarcastic quotes around "called"), wasn't quite the runaway success the search company had hoped for (failure). The phone was ahead of its time but by only months (== insignificant), and even though you could buy it without a contract, you could pick between only AT&T and T-Mobile (bummer)— and you had to pay a premium to do so (the nerve of them to charge money for excellent hardware!). Still, Nexus One owners get updates directly from Google and ahead of other Android phone users.

It seems like for every positive thing they say, there's two more negative things said or implied. "Still, they get updates directly from Google" doesn't really sound like an appropriate closing statement to an article about a Top 10 piece of tech.
Compare that with the glowing praise for the iPhone4, which was rated one place BELOW the N1:
While sales of 1.7 million units in the first three days of availability are mighty impressive, the iPhone 4's 960-by-640-pixel screen resolution is even more impressive. No competitor has been able to stuff as many pixels into a 3.5-in. (9 cm) LCD. What's more, Apple's front-facing camera and FaceTime software have finally made mobile video chatting popular with regular people.

Is this from cnn also? Just remember that how many people work for cnn knows how to operate a phone. they're are not tech site like engadget our gizmodo our anybody that knows a lot about tech.they only look at the sales number and write **** they want. Probably the writer of that article is an iphone 4 owner that's why he is frustrated when the n1 tops their beloved one. I'd say most of the people there own an iphone or a blackberry device.

Loving the way they rated the Samsung Galaxy S, with its broken GPS and relatively poor performance for its hardware as #2, LMAO. Lost all credibility for it the moment I saw that.
I was a N1 user who moved on to the iPhone 4 (passed my n1 to my better half), I was pleasantly surprised that it got the higher spot! But what I find interesting is the least coverage it got on Engadget.com, which proves their bias against android and to apple. Yes Mr. Topolsky, keep up the sarcasm on your biasness - extremely shallow and I am still upset about the horrid proximity sensor which you guys never covered properly on your review.
Glad to see it ahead of the iphone 4, but as someone else said its funny to see the still negative comments mixed in with the praise. Love my N1 almost a year later.
Happy to see our precious at #5

All his criticisms can be easily alleviated with downloading apps from the Market, but for average Joe who just wants to use the phone as he bought it, he is right I'm afraid.
Out-of-box experience for Samsung phones is still nowhere near HTC, let alone iPhone. A great majority of phone users aren't elite linux hackers. They just want to buy a damn phone and use the damn phone. Samsung has a lot of ways to go in this regard.

He is right about the keyboard and wrong about the battery, but only because he hasn't installed anything on it to customize the phone. The funny part was spending time complaining about how you have to pull down the notifications (he's bound to love that in ios5) to turn off wifi when to me this is an advantage - I can do it right now without leaving this text entry - how is that worse than having to go to a homescreen widget?

The only criticism I would make is that, as with the Google-driven Nexus S, the border around the edge where the screen fits in can rub your ear just that little bit annoyingly when you're making a phone call. The HTC Incredible S is better in that regard.

He can think what he likes. I do.
Charles Arthur is a renowned Apple fanboi, I've hard many posts deleted from comment sections for no reason at all (well, some were valid...).
The Guardian as a whole is ludicrously biased towards all things Apple. Some of their guff is plain advertising.
Also pretty sure that a SGS in the photo, not the SGS2....

And really it's true my GF loved my Desire, thinks it's much better than the iphone, but really can't figure out the SGS2 (she's an iphone user)
To be honest im not convinced the review is biased because he is generally comparing it to the Incredible S. It's just a bad review in my book. I can understand if he said great phone a few annoying niggles out of the box, and gave it 4 stars. But to not even mention that ALL the issues he reports can be fixed by apps is shocking.
If the S2 is a 3 star phone what would the likes of the ZTE blade or the Galaxy Apollo be. Phones that i know plenty are people really like but share the same issues with far inferior hardware? 1 star?
Actually, for the most part I do agree with the author (exception being the notification area for wifi on/off etc, which I think is great).
He's spot on with the keyboard, though. It's crap, Swype isn't much better, and you'll need to pay for anything. Currently using Swiftkey X, which is a good replacement, but doesn't work in the email app. WHY, SAMSUNG, WHY, WHEN IT WORKS IN EVERYTHING ELSE?

The Gadget Show is dire. It is an appalling TV programme. It lasts about 45 minutes (excluding the much better produced adverts) and you would be lucky to find 5 minutes worthy of a tech show.
They do 'challenges' which are purely for entertainment - but fail even to do that.
As said earlier, they are very Apple centric.
The only bit of the show that is any good is the web only reviews, and even then they tend to be very superficial. Then there is the one minute of adverts before the review starts, only to get under 2 minutes of contect.

a bit like top gear but failing miserably lol never really thought about it until you just said
I understand. You love HTC. You love the HTC One. You want it to do better than the Galaxy S IV. You may not even like Samsung phones that much.
But those are not excuses for bashing one company over and over in threads that wouldn't even mention Samsung otherwise. I know I'm probably going to get some hate now because I have a Samsung phone, and yes, I just made a post explaining why I like some of its features over the One (removable battery, microsd). But I'm not saying Samsung is the very best or anything like that. I'm tired of reading threads and coming across random hate. I'll admit, there are a bunch of trolls that come over and bash the One. Bashing the S3/S4 back is not an acceptable response.
I like Samsung phones. I also like HTC phones. I'm not a fan of LG phones, however, but that doesn't mean I go around saying things like the "Craptimus G" or "I'm glad the One doesn't have XXX like the LG Optimus G Pro, that's such a piece of ****."
Some of the threads on here are so bad I feel like I'm browsing reddit.com/r/Android at times. For those of you who don't know about reddit/that particular subreddit, be glad. It's downright awful (up there with /r/Atheism).
If you did want to compare against the S3/S4, you can just say, "I feel like the HTC One is superior to the S3/S4 in XXX aspect. I'm just not a fan of Samsung phones in general." You should not say, "Lol, the S3/S4 doesn't even compare to the One. The only reason anybody bought that plasticy piece of **** was because Samsung has more marketing. It's terrible in every aspect."
I'm no mod. I don't have any power over any of you. I've even been on xda for less time than most of you. But I know one thing for sure.
If I wanted to read hate against a certain brand I would start a thread on modmyi inciting hate against Samsung.

News flash, it happenes in every forum. Go have fun in the Samsung forum, see how they also talk about HTC.
Read one line of your worthless post and that was enough.
Great thread, thanks for making it.

Is the Galaxy S4 just getting announced on the 14th of March or released on that date as I see a lot of websites stating a release date of the 14th surely this is wrong?
BTW torn between a Galaxy S4 and the HTC One (pre-ordered)

HTC one for me fancy a change. Love the look of blinkfeed.
Wonder if I will regret my decision. Funnily I get my phone the day the s4 is released.

Gonna be interesting to see how it compares to the HTC One.
The One benchmarks pretty well, 12k in Quadrant, 25k in Antutu...

I'll buy a Sony/HTC if Samsung doesn't release a phone with those specs yeah... The reason why I don't buy HTC is that it isn't always sure you can S-OFF them...

Meh..There aren't many problems with getting S-Off on HTCs nowadays.HTC's bootloader unlocking tool seems to be here to stay,and it seems to be working ok.Sony is the most developer friendly manufacturer,so if it's developing/modding you care about,maybe Sony's phones are the best for you.A problem that we have with both HTC and Samsung are incomplete kernel sources.I do hope things will get better with the One and the S4 and they become more like Sony,but my gut tells me that I'm probably wrong in hoping...

Those are all from the S3 forum. If you can find bashing of HTC there I'd gladly change my mind.
Geez chill out.

I think you should take fanboy-ism from both sides with a grain of salt. 99 percent of us land in the middle somewhere, but you're in a forum of a flagship device that hasn't even been released yet. The common (and sane) folk don't show up until the device has been released.

I understand. You love HTC. You love the HTC One. You want it to do better than the Galaxy S IV. You may not even like Samsung phones that much.
But those are not excuses for bashing one company over and over in threads that wouldn't even mention Samsung otherwise. I know I'm probably going to get some hate now because I have a Samsung phone, and yes, I just made a post explaining why I like some of its features over the One (removable battery, microsd). But I'm not saying Samsung is the very best or anything like that. I'm tired of reading threads and coming across random hate. I'll admit, there are a bunch of trolls that come over and bash the One. Bashing the S3/S4 back is not an acceptable response.
I like Samsung phones. I also like HTC phones. I'm not a fan of LG phones, however, but that doesn't mean I go around saying things like the "Craptimus G" or "I'm glad the One doesn't have XXX like the LG Optimus G Pro, that's such a piece of ****."
Some of the threads on here are so bad I feel like I'm browsing reddit.com/r/Android at times. For those of you who don't know about reddit/that particular subreddit, be glad. It's downright awful (up there with /r/Atheism).
If you did want to compare against the S3/S4, you can just say, "I feel like the HTC One is superior to the S3/S4 in XXX aspect. I'm just not a fan of Samsung phones in general." You should not say, "Lol, the S3/S4 doesn't even compare to the One. The only reason anybody bought that plasticy piece of **** was because Samsung has more marketing. It's terrible in every aspect."
I'm no mod. I don't have any power over any of you. I've even been on xda for less time than most of you. But I know one thing for sure.

If this forum is like the Teg3 One X forum it'll actually get worse. After release, issues that are bound to come up (because no device ever produced has been issue-free or met everyone's expectations equally) go through Elisabeth Kübler-Ross' five stages (denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and, finally, acceptance) as part of their discussion. As an example, there were clearly assembly-related QC issues and a Wi-Fi issue HTC publically acknowledged with the One X. It took dozens of pages of posts with people sharing the same issues before the "defenders" reached EKR’s "acceptance." And mentioning the "S" word unless followed by a derogatory adjective is a sure way to get the crowd riled. For some reason HTC forums tend to be more emotional. If you view a lot of it purely for the entertainment value it's kind of fun to watch. But knowing that, the best advice is "don't poke the bear."
Something I'm already annoyed about in this forum...

they are still of bunch of ignorants in my opinion :laugh:
We’ve seen it in laptops, as companies like Toshiba finally turn away from racing to the pricing bottom and begin to build truly excellent ultrabooks; we're also seeing it in cellphones, from the HTC One and a small selection of other devices.
I don't need more cores, more gigahertz, or more software features that ostensibly help me use my phone more easily. I need a phone that feels good in my hand, looks good on my desk, does everything I expect it to, and gives me no reason to think it won't last the life of my two-year contract. I bought an iPhone 5 because last fall it was the only phone that fit that bill — now there are several Android options as well, and they’re good enough to make me want to switch back to Google’s OS.
For now, it's a choice every buyer will have to make. You can have the far better-looking phone or you can have the slightly better-performing phone — and you really can't choose wrong. If the GS III is any indication, millions upon millions will choose the GS4. Me? I think design matters. Polish matters. The Galaxy S4 is fast and impressive, but it's also noisy and complex. The One is refined, quiet, comfortable, beautiful, and above all simply pleasant. I love using that phone, in a way I haven't experienced with anything since the iPhone 5. That's why, when my contract is up in June, I'll probably be casting my lot with HTC instead of Samsung.

he should update his HTC One review if he loves it this much, his review certainly doesnt reflect that!
I think it does. And I could not agree more. David Pierce on mobile devices is 100% reliable.

So did Gizmodo UK though that's not saying much
Pretty much everyone who's reviewed both phones side by side has opted for the One
Bound to be differences in opinion - I can totally see why some would prefer the S4. But for me, HTC One all the way. That is if my order ever turns up! Grr.
Even if the One sucked it would have beat the S4 on the Verge. The S4 has a chance to beat the iphone in sales this year, the Verge, as iPhone fanbois, dont want that to happen. Of course, im not saying the conclusion is wrong, i do have an HTC One after all, but the point stands.
