The HTC One is HTC's latest and greatest smartphone and it replaces the HTC One X+ as HTC's premier smartphone. Read: HTC One Hands On. HTC's device is loaded with high-end hardware including a 4.7-inch full HD 1080p display, quad-core processor, full metal design and an Ultrapixel camera that looks to be up there with the best of the best. The company has also loaded Android 4.1 Jelly Bean on board with the new and powerful HTC Sense 5.0. While the HTC One isn't out just yet, it will arrive in the U.S. later this month, it will surely be one of the best options on AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile in terms of Android. | ||||||

Are you kidding me????? The lgog (sprint optimus g) beats 3 of those phones in specs and benchmarks.in fact stock it destroys the note 2(snapdragon s4pro is why) and it is top stock score getter on quadrant. 7600+ .please be factual on your stories instead of your flawed opinion. One/experiaz/ LGOG….in that order with specs and benchmarks.. Wow.hope your not paid .'(

Hi just to say that now the s4 is almost upon us and they doo do a 8core processor but in Britain they expect us to buy a 4 core overclocked 1, I wont be buying Samsung because of that fact! Palming us brits off with a lesser 1 cos they think we’ll run out and buy 1 anyway, well I’m not until we get the 8 core like most of the others and neither should you!

I don’t know where u are from but its the average person in the US that gets screwed out of the international (of course) or better soeced phones.FACT. american version of almost all phones are dual core or 1 gig and sgs3 is prime example. Also, s4pro is OLD now although its holders are the highest scoring benchmark phones.the LGOG(optimus g,UN which my thread in XDA was the reason its called the LGOG) IS THE top score getter on quadrant.the N4 would also cuz its same processor but the Lgog Kernel is superior. Now snapdragon 600 is king along with exnyos octa.remember peeps its NOT really 8 cores. Only 4 work at a time.and when the n5 megladon comes out with the sn800 it will b king!!!

Please tell the truth. The sprint LGOG (optimus g) destroys the maxx hands down in almost every category.how can u sat the one gig ram RAZR maxx can out due 2 gig lgog? Other is some opinion in all comparisons but fact is fact.your lie or just plain being phone knowledge inept has cost you my subscription. I want truth not someone paid off like pocketnow( they did a benchmark of lgog with quad core control on,idiots.) Or if your not paid of your inept. DISCUSTING its like the Lame stream media!!!! Sick

I’m from rip-off-britain home of the goverment milked cash cow and if there is no benefit to 8 cores then Korea, home of samsung would be happy with the cheaper 4 core but they have the 8 core, so if its good enough for them its good enough for me and if every1 thought like that like sticking together then we would have consumer power!

And this is wat my mate reckons to the 4-core 8 core thing- He is wrong. The idea is that you have 4 heavy duty cores that use a lot of power and 4 lesser ones that hardly use any power. When you are playing a game or doing something that really requires the power it uses the heavy duty cores, but when you are doing normal tasks like browsing the net or menus etc. then it uses the smaller cores and saves a shitload of power so the end result is that the battery lasts longer. That’s the main point of it. It’s designed to save power yet be more powerful when its needed. (si)

Very close my friend. NEVER is there more than 4cores in use at one time. My main point is snapdragon s4pro/600 and solo 800 Ade superior to ex octa!! Also tegra technology is superior to both of em if they can get there act together to do with LTE.LOL. tame care. And some here at GBM are either inept at there job or paid off liers.. RAZR maxx beat out LGOG in fop & phones. Accept the battery that’s like saying a little leager is better than triple crown winner Miguel Cabrera. Jeez

You got it right man.4 cores re for heavy tasks,while d remaining 4cores help help in sustaining ur battery and smaller tasks like browsing .Everything works effortlessly without lagging.dats jst it.tanks.

Im sorry but lg optimus g was relased without jellybean lg has a horrible update track-record the inter-face sucks also a terrible camera n lately they have been copying samsung alot. having the fastest phones cool but none of these phones are particularly real life slow its the overall experience iphone 5 is smoother than everyone of these phones has a better camera just as fast or faster simpler better update record ppi more apps better resale value build quality etc… which is why the average user loves iphones I cant do being conected to apple for my smart phone though I have an ipad I have a gnote which I love may not be the fastest but overall is the best to me until the s4 come out .truthfully if u have any of these phones you are good all of them are powerful top of the line bmws porches lexus infinity jags Mercedes etc all or nice

I’m comparing specs. Verizon offers both Motorola Razr Maxx HD and Samsung GS3. Why isn’t the GS3 on here? Has same specs as Maxx HD but 2 GB of RAM. I know the GS4 is on its way, but I’m thinking of not waiting for HTC One or GS4 to come out and then to pay full price. The GS3 is down to $49 on Amazonwirleless. I am not a power user, but like speed. Wouldn’t an extra GB of RAM on the GS3 be better than a slightly better battery Maxx HD? The GNote is too large. The DNA is crippled to 16GB storage. Both are out for me. Between GS3 and Maxx HD on Verizon for currently available phones. And my upgrade is ready now. Gotta think the GS3 is still the better phone despite this column. Am I wrong?

FYI, about the ex octa 8 core chip by samsung going into some GS4’s. Sounds like it is pretty new technology. Something that only Samsung themselves will be taking advantage of – on apps provided by samsung. Most app vendors will not be taking advantage of the tech and their programs will run through the main 4 big processors. So, it does sound cool and may lead to a but of new capabilities in the future. But, in 2 years most of us will be on to the next new phones. And by then, if the 4 BIG and 4 little processor concept has real value it will be required for purchases at that time. From what I’ve read any phone with 4 processors is already beyond most apps today and will easily accommodate the demands. As for battery saving with the extra 4 little processors. I believe the S4’s without (the snapdragon sn600 quad-core instead) will be designed to better utilize the power. So, it is still unclear how much better the 4BIGx4little-core will actually perform in terms of a) power or b) battery life. In either case, you are getting a damn fast phone with the best chip available in your area on the market. I also believe the 4BIGx4little chip had some issues with US LTE frequencies. Maybe that was fluff to make us okay with not getting it.
