The Galaxy S4 body is a little lighter and somewhat thinner than HTC One, even though they were released with only a couple months difference. Both devices in this comparison have Android OS, but Galaxy S4 has 4.4.2 version while HTC One has Android 5.0.
The Galaxy S4 has a bit better looking screen than HTC One, because although it has a quite lower count of pixels per inch in the display, and they both have an equal resolution of 1920 x 1080, the Galaxy S4 also counts with a little bit larger screen. HTC One counts with a very superior memory capacity to install games and applications than Galaxy S4, because although it has no slot for an SD memory card, it also counts with 64 GB internal storage.
Galaxy S4 features a little better performance than HTC One. They have the same RAM memory amount, 4 cores and a 400 MHz GPU. The Galaxy S4 features just a bit longer battery performance than HTC One, because it has a 13% bigger battery capacity. The Galaxy S4 counts with a superior camera than HTC One, because although it has a tinier camera sensor giving a lower image quality and a smaller camera aperture which is not good for low light photos and videos, and they both have the same 30 fps video frame rates and the same video resolution, the Galaxy S4 also counts with a lot more mega-pixels back facing camera.
Despite of being the best phone of the ones we are comparing, the Galaxy S4 is also by far the cheapest, which makes it a great choice.
