Samsung, on the other hand, uses TouchWiz, it's ain in-house overlay. It's to a greater extent than full-featured, but less user-friendly, in addition to less pretty.
The Milky Way S4 volition come upwardly alongside Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean, the latest electrical current build. But Key Lime Pie is due out soon, in addition to hence fans are hoping the S4 volition live fast-tracked for an upgrade. The One nevertheless packs Android 4.1.2, in addition to HTC isn't known for quick OS updates, but they mightiness speed things upwardly to remain inward the game this time.

Camera
HTC is trying something novel alongside the One. The photographic telly camera is alone four megapixels, but HTC has branded them "UltraPixels." They're larger than typical photograph sensors, in addition to hence HTC says they capture 300 part to a greater extent than lite than normal smartphone cameras, allowing photos inward low-light atmospheric condition that otherwise would yield a greyness blur.

In keeping alongside the Milky Way S4's "make everything bigger in addition to faster" aesthetic, it boasts a xiii megapixel rear-facing camera, a 2 megapixel front-facing camera, in addition to the powerfulness to accept photos in addition to video alongside both cameras at the same time.
Nearly every reviewer says the HTC One is an impressive, first-class phone. It had amend be, because if it doesn't perform well, HTC may larn under. And losing such an innovative in addition to creative fellowship would live a shame for consumers, specially inward a marketplace dominated yesteryear Apple in addition to Samsung.
Compared to electrical current phones, the One is likewise far ahead of the pack, alongside plenty of features in addition to tech to futureproof it (as much every bit whatsoever slice of hardware tin be). But the Milky Way S4 is technically superior, judging from the spec sheet. It volition likewise probable live to a greater extent than expensive, in addition to if it sells anything similar the south III, everyone in addition to their grandmother volition receive got one.
Either telephone volition suit consumers simply looking for an upgrade. For a telephone alongside personality, the HTC One is the amend pick. For the virtually powerful telephone on the market, larn alongside the Milky Way S4.
