Top 5 Smartphones to Consider Before Buying the Galaxy S4 [May, 2014]

HTC One

Take a look at the HTC One before buying the Samsung Galaxy S4. We've purposely left the name ambiguous because we think that both the HTC One M7, last year's model and this year's HTC One M8 are both worthy of consideration this month.

Last year's HTC One was the Galaxy S4's biggest Android competitor. It features a solid display, camera, metal design, and a whole lot more. This year's HTC One M8 improves on last year's model by delivering a bigger display, improved design, and improved camera technology.

The HTC models both run Sense 6 which is much different than Samsung's TouchWiz UI that it puts over Android. Many people prefer Sense to TouchWiz and consumers would be wise to both through the paces before deciding on their next smartphone.

Like the Samsung Galaxy S4, the HTC One M7 is now a cheap, but solid option.
