Should I get the HTC One or wait for the iPhone 5S?

HTC one

Of all the recently launched phones, the HTC One is perhaps the one that's most desirable to iPhone users, what with its Apple-like use of aluminum, and its beyond Retina display. It shares much that makes the iPhone so popular -- fantastic design, exceptional hardware, and incredible build quality. That might be why Android Central Forums member fettym took a leap of faith, put down the iPhone 5, and went off to try the HTC One. Two weeks later, however, and fettym is back on the iPhone 5. According to the post on Android Central Forums, here's why:

Couldn't get phone to work well with car which is important to me, petty, I know
I use an Otterbox and it made it near impossible with one hand
I find the iPhone Camera to be better quality as I like zooming further than HTC would allow
Too much clutter, IE Blink Feed and Gallery
I like the way Mac/iPhone/iTunes sync seamlessly
Battery was weak compared to what I'm used to in regards to lasting time and charge time
The strengths, and some of the 'marketed features' of the iPhone, such as one-handed use, are often mocked. But here, we see a real-world user frustrated at not being able to use the HTC One with one hand. Even with a case on, the iPhone remains manageable one-handed.

Battery life, seamless syncing between the Mac and the iPhone, and the less 'cluttered' experience of iOS also come out on top. These are all important parts of an enjoyable mobile experience. Once you've had something so good, it's almost impossible to live without. Personally, I've not used a HTC One on a day-to-day basis, but I know that the iPhone 5 battery lasts me way longer than the one on my Nexus 4 ever did.

GO for HTC One, its awesome

  • Which should I get, the iphone 5 or the samsung galaxy s3 or HTC One X? I can't decide which one I should buy. Which phone is the better phone? I know fans of each phone will have their reasons, but which phone really is best? What does 1 phone do that another does not? The spell check when texting messages, which one is the better one? I know how the Iphone one works, are the Samsung and HTC spell checkers similar, which one is better?
  • Which one should i get, htc one mini or iphone 4s? So i'm looking for a new phone and i can't decide between htc one mini or iphone 4s. Which one is better and will last longer? And also i have a lot of music so how much can the htc one mini hold? Is it 8gb or 16gb?
  • Upcoming iPhone 5S or HTC One? Which one would you get? I'm confused between the two. I have to get a new phone because my S4 has a lot of problems, so I will be changing my phone in October. Which one would you suggest?
  • Should I keep my iPhone 4 or get an HTC One? I was thinking of getting a new phone because of my upgrade but my iPhone 4 is still in pretty good shape. If I was to get a new one I was thinking the HTC One. Would it be worth spending my money and abandoning my iPhone for or should I just hold on to my iPhone?
