Conclusion

Both devices are pretty neck and neck, though the Galaxy S4 seems to beat the HTC One in many of the categories, but not by much. We’ll have to do more camera tests, but right now it looks like the GS4 and HTC One are pretty neck and neck, where it matters, though the S4 does have a slightly larger screen. We don’t have a category for build materials, but the One has an aluminum unibody, while the S4 has a polycarbonate (plastic) build, which is  excessively light. Both phones are quite comfortable to hold. Since both will be available on all four major carriers (we’re not quite sure on the One’s status on Verizon), it will be a tight race. However, if history is any indication, HTC should be frightened. And, you know what, we think it might be. Earlier today, HTC reps were giving hot cocoa and Pringles to journalists in line to see the S4, showing them the HTC One.
