I never said it was new. I said it was a good comparison that I personally haven't seen before, so I'm assuming other people in the HTC forum haven't either.

Amazing! Pure genius!! Too good to be true!!!

You know what's great about the Internet? People can find something somewhere that proves just about any point they want to make. Whether it's valid or not.
The s/w at the launch event where the pics OP posted were taken was two revisions ago. GSMArena tested with what was shipped out on the review devices when they did their One vs. SGS4 comparison which was the second revision. They posted this along with pics taken with the newest (and shipping) s/w.
Update, April 12: We got our hands on a retail unit of the Galaxy S4. Here are some samples shot with the market-ready Galaxy S4​
Here's the link for those that are objective...
http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s4-review-914p9.php
Others can just praise and thank OP for his “The One rules them all!!!” post.

This is a bit like arguing which is better a macro lens or a wide angle lens. It's clear the One wins in low light portrait situations and the S4 in daylight landscape like situations. Which is better, depends on the situation. Personally I like cycling and have taken some nice landscapes with my phone because it's easy to carry and you need a phone anyway, so I will miss those pictures but on the other hand I have taken many night shots with my phone too and they are mostly crap but I usually have a camera around then too....
Anyway which one is better depends on your personal use

Phonearena just did a review and the HTC One lost to the Galaxy S4

Example photos?

Hi Guys,
Had my Desire HD for 5 days.. thinking of selling it and buying a Nexus S!
Just wanted to see some examples of photos taken with the Camera?
I've no need for amazing photo quality but still want something reasonable to justify the hassle in switching.
Thanks in advance
I took this picture in a completely dark room: Click to see how well it turned out
Also when you check out that picture, I have a picture of a fluffy green android I took, that was in a relatively dark room. (It's the one taken after December 16th)
Thanks for the reply... link doesn't seem to be working though?

Awesome thanks ... works now i'm at home so must have been my work PC playing up.
Looks good, pretty sure i'm going to swap
* UPDATE *
I'm now a proud owner of a Nexus S .
Went into my local Carphone Warehouse and from the minute i held it i knew i would buy it!
In my opinion it's positives over the Desire HD are:
- Speaker clarity and volume is 10x better
- Handset feels like a perfect size and weight (Desire HD was very big and heavy)
- The Super AMOLED screen is amazing!
- The camera takes photos and videos that i'm more than happy with
Good luck mate, its definitely a better phone than the hd, but the hd is a better spec

Thanks.
Yea i agree the HD is a great phone but for me just not practical.
I found typing on the HD a real pain and made endless mistakes. With the Nexus S it's easy
Welcome.
I also think my NExus S is beautiful.
You know, after spending the last few days wading through trolls who came to this forums just to trash a phone they don't own, don't have any intention of buying, and never even held, it sure is refreshing to see a post from someone who acknowledges the shortcomings of this device and yet, is still satsified with it because it is, in their opinion, right for them.
Thank you for this thread, OP. Let no one else but you decide what is right for you.

Xoom's day out! =)

It was a beautiful sunny Saturday in New York City, so I took my Xoom out for a little shooting test to see the camera capabilities. I have to say, I am VERY impressed by its photo/video quality under normal sunlight environment.
And... there are windows for Alexander McQueen's work... my girlfriend's favorite..

Very impressive, the xoom picture quality as well as your choice of images.
Nice pictures! And quality!
Can you also post a link to archive with full size images? I think I'm not the only one who will be interested.
Also the swallowing seems real. Unles the sword folds telescopically, but It doesnt seem to.
Thats either a really good slight of hand trick where he swaps the sword or he can really swallow a sword. I watched it three times and the only place where he could have swapped the sword was the point where he points to the other exibit, so I don't know.
Love how he keeps looking at the Xoom in the vid

Spotted today at a local Target store.

Possibly real photo of the Galaxy S3's final design!?

I found this at www.sammobile.com!
Look at it:

Oh my god, its BEAUTIFUL! Just look at that design .. ! Imagine that beauty with the next exynos processor, a HD resolution, 1.5 Gig of ram and who know what else..
What do you think?
Sammobile's thread says this:
"The picture above could be true for several reasons: Weber Shandwick is one (or even the) largest PR agency in the world, including here in Germany, Weber Shandwick operates in several sectors, along with Samsung. (This is also very good, I made ​​the best possible experience with those so far). The picture could also originate from an internal document at Weber Shandwick, which to hold a Unpacked event on intended to holdon May 22nd!
So what can we see if we take a clo.es look at this picture. To start with the bezel it is really really small!
We see a shutter-button for the camera FINALLY.
Besides, the design fits the Galaxy S3. Loudspeaker front, above and below the display- a perfect match to the current design line from Samsung. Look at the Galaxy S WiFi4.2 or 1.10 of the Galaxy note, both are the display next to the speakers!
If true, the picture above, it also directly teaser unpacked a Samsung event for 22 May in London - in my opinion, very likely. On 22 May announce where a few weeks later, the Olympic Games will begin to quickly put on the market on time and to have the Olympic Games 2012 Samsung Galaxy S3 in the shops. In my view, could vote at Reddit surfaced image that is so loose - I hope even on it. Then you would have a date and place, I can plunder my account for the plane and the speculation goes in another direction!
May 22nd is the approximate date that the London Olympic Torch Relay starts – of which Samsung are a major sponsor – so this date and event in London make total sense.

Eldar Murtazin (Russian tech blogger) SGS3 is different but thats one is closest to final design

HTC One’s camera greatly improved with software update

According to the Singapore-based HardwareZone, after recently swapping out an HTC One review unit, it was noted that the camera firmware had been updated from the previous handset they had been testing, and luckily, had already taken sample pictures with. HardwareZone was able to compare images taken with the first One running the older firmware, with their newer model, and the results speak for themselves.
HTC says that the final versions of the units that will be released to consumers will contain the updated firmware.

couldn't find any links on the thread, so had to make a new one
btw, this new firmware is coming with the retail products being shipped now itself
LoL firmware did so much better photos really LoL...now its obvious why they are short of camera modules...they have to manufacture more modules with good lens to exchange the faulty ones...thats why One is late and firmware update is only the guise bravo HTC good move...still cant wait for my One
Is it just me or the "Better" phone has a closer distance to the target than the "Bad" one?
Cause obviously... The closer the target is the more detail the picture gets.

I was thinking exactly the same.. Every test should be identical.
Although it doesn't explain that much difference in quality I think.
In case you guys missed this in the other thread.
daleski75 said:
Updated 26/3/13: HTC has clarified that the second unit which we received "has the final commercial firmware, compared to the original unit which was pre-production and had an isolated hardware issue, which resulted in differences between the two sets of photos taken with both devices." According to our understanding, all the commercial sets which will launch in April will come already updated with this firmware. As such, there will be no second camera update for the One, unlike what we previously wrote below.

Low (to none) Light Performance
Just wondering if its only a few that have this...quirk:
When there's nearly zero light, does the photo show as black or lots of noise?

At last I can say WOW!!!

I had my mind set on the HTC M9. The "leaks" from evleaks had me drooling.
Watching the live event left me disappointed, then on to Samsung.
For me that phone is utterly stunning, I can't wait to get hold of this & add Nova Prime etc.

I agree with you, it does look outstanding. I cannot understand why so many people are complaining. Samsung have been rightly criticised for their lack of design, especially on the flagship devices. They did a good job with the Note 4 and they upped the bar with the S6.
The usual iDiots complaining it somehow looks like an iPhone, which apart from a similar speaker grill - it clearly does not... There will be those that gripe about the lack of removable battery and SD card of course (and they may have a point) but WAKE UP! This is a phone made by Samsung that actually looks gorgeous and actually looks like a flagship phone.
I am more of a Note fan so I won't be buying an S6 but am very much looking forward to seeing what they come out with for Note 5 this year if it builds upon this revamp of the Galaxy range.
I think the phone looks great. One issue that will bug the crap out of me is the fingerprints on the back. I want the black one, but may have to get white to mask it.

Next issue is spending the extra money for the 128gb. I need the storage.
Just curious. What do most people use all that storage for.

First take into account the OS size, so 32 is now 30 if you're lucky. If you have a kid like me, you take a lot of pics and vids. Average 13mp photo is 5mb or so each. Now with this phone, I'd have to copy all the data on my 128gb SD off to the phone storage. Taking into consideration I had a S4, S5, N3, N4, G2, G3, iphone 6. All photos and vids from each of those I have on my SD. It adds up.
