Q. I torn between these two devices. At first I was leaner toward the One because it has an amazing build quality, speakers on front, an LCD display (I hate pentile which the GS4 uses). But then I started to sway as HTC is horrible with updates, the S4 is on a newer version of android, Samsung updates devices faster, and its eye tracking features seem nice. I really dont care about expandable memory or changeable batteries. Any thoughts?
A. Samsung Galaxy S4 vs HTC One
I would pick the S4 because(I know you said you don't care about microsd/removable battery however I put it there for the community)
1. It is quicker- 1.9ghz quad core vs 1.7ghz quad core
2.Microsd- you can expand the memory with a 64gb microsd. This a cheaper way to expand your memory and you can have a 16 gb S4 and still have more storage than the HTC One(64gb) if you get a 64gb microsd.
3.Removable battery- This means you can replace the battery if you run out of charge when you are around unlike the HTC One which you have to charge or bring an external charger and charge it from there, however this is an akward way of charging your phone. Also the removable battery can help you prevent water damage as you can remove the battery if it falls in water, thus reducing the chances of water damage.
4.Repairability- iFixit gave HTC One the worst rating for repairability (https://www.google.ie/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&ved=0CDQQqQIwAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fibnlive.in.com%2Fnews%2Fhtc-one-scores-1-out-of-10-for-repairability-after-teardown%2F382264-11.html&ei=4B5fUfGMK46BhAe2-4HgCQ&usg=AFQjCNFFmFehC4KzSZI1YUuOVHA1YZ2Ong&sig2=JNimZy7FL937Y6OkKGcTtQ&bvm=bv.44770516,d.ZG4) and TechnoBuffalo said that the S4 is miles more repairable http://www.technobuffalo.com/videos/samsung-galaxy-s4-teardown-video/
5. Screen- It is amazing and bigger than the screen on the HTC One (yes this is an advantage). Yes it has less ppi (440ppi S4 vs 468ppi HTC One) reviewers say that the difference in ppi is unnoticeable but you can see the difference in colours as the amoled display is has amazing colours. The big screen is also an advantage as it as you can do so much more with it, multitask for example. Also I can fit the Note 2 in one hand with medium hands and actually use it so in my opinion one hand use should not be an issue as the Note 2 is half an inch bigger.
6. Real Multitasking- watch videos while online, write an email while watching a video, send a message while surfing the web, you can split the screen in two so you can multitask without a bother, this cannot be done on the HTC One.
7. Samsung added features
.
a.Smartstay- won't turn the screen off if you are still looking at it.
b.Smartpause- pauses a video when you turn around and turns it back on when you turn back
c.Eye controlled webpage scrolling
d. Airview- check link to learn more http://www.phonearena.com/news/Samsung-Galaxy-S-4-display-Air-View-and-Air-Gesture-demoed-on-video_id40881
e.Infrared TV remote(on One too)
f.External temperature and humidity sensors
g.Use the phone while using gloves
h. S Health- useful for health enthusiasts
i. S Translator- itâs all in the name a translator
j.Etc- I could go on but check the link to see even more features http://www.phonearena.com/news/Samsung-Galaxy-S4-10-exclusive-or-little-known-features-review_id41541
8.Camera features- First of all reviewers say the only place that the HTC One beats S4 camera wise is in low light without flash, the rest are about the same(actually the S4 photos have more detail and are clearer according to CNET) except in video where the S4 wins. So in my opinion the cameraâs are very similar so itâs more about features in the end, S4 wins here
a.Dual shot- take photos from both cameras so that you can include the photographer in a photo
b.Photo with audio message- record a message before or after a photo to add to a photo
c.Eraser shot- can remove unwanted moving content
d.More but those are my favorite
Hope this helped
p.s Enjoy your new phone no matter which one it is

1. Galaxy Note is 4G but Sensation XL is 3G only.
2. Galaxy Note has Super AMOLED display while Sensation XL has inferior S-LCD.
3. Galaxy Note has 5.3" display while Sensation XL has 4.7" display.
4. Galaxy Note has Gorilla glass but Sensation XL is devoid of that.

I think these are enough reasons to choose Samsung Galaxy Note over HTC Sensation XL. You can also check the Samsung Galaxy Nexus which is quite awesome too. If you need Samsung Galaxy Nexus or Samsung Galaxy Note without contract or unlocked at very reasonable price, mail me to yonoulee@gmx.com
Which is better: Samsung galaxy s ii or HTC sensation?
Q. Which do you like more? why? Which mobile company is cheaper with the best deals?
A. I prefer the samsung galaxy s ii.
Reasons : 1.The Samsung Galaxy S2 packs 1GB RAM while the Sensation only has 768MB RAM.
2.On to storage, Galaxy s2 has options for 16GB and 32GB internal storage and the Sensation with only 1GB.
3. Further more, a Super AMOLED display and 2MP front camera for the Samsung versus a S-LCD Display and 1.2MP front camera for HTC (both androids have 8MP rear camera)
4. The Samsung Galaxy S2 has a bigger battery at 1650 mAh vs HTC Sensationâs 1520 mAh, not only that the Galaxy S2 is lighter at 4.1 ounces vs 5.2 ounces, and finally to top it off the Samsung Galaxy S2 supports NFC (Near Field Communication)
In my opinion, I prefer the way the Galaxy looks, and it being a plastic exterior isn't that big a deal, if it bothers you, spend a LITTLE more to get a case (hard or soft).
As for prices, Samsung galaxy prices on amazon have gone down ranging from $450 - $650 (give or take) (This is unlocked version btw)
HTC sensation is roughly $200 with carrier and I think $550 without the carrier. You can check places like amazon etc.
