The Samsung Galaxy S4 has a little sharper display than HTC One max, because although it has a bit smaller screen, and they both have an equal 1920 x 1080 resolution, the Samsung Galaxy S4 also counts with a bit greater pixels density.
The Samsung Galaxy S4 counts with a superior camera than HTC One max, because although it has a smaller aperture which is not recommended for shooting images or videos in low light situations and a tinier back-facing camera sensor shooting worse quality videos and pictures, and they both have the same 1920x1080 (Full HD) video quality and the same video frame rates, the Samsung Galaxy S4 also counts with a camera with way more megapixels.
