Running over the entire spec sheet of each phone will take too long - both droids are impressively armed - so instead we'll just list the differences. Here's how one is better than the other and vice versa.
Samsung Galaxy S4 over HTC One
- Bigger screen; works with gloves and air gestures
- Higher resolution camera - 13MP vs. 4MP
- Newer Android version - 4.2.2 vs. 4.1.2
- Multi-window multitasking
- Higher clock speed chipset
- Expandable storage
- User-replaceable battery of higher capacity
- Additional sensors (barometer, thermometer, hygroscope)
- Exclusive software features
- Smaller, thinner, lighter
HTC One over Samsung Galaxy S4
- Brilliant-looking aluminum unibody
- Optical Image Stabilization, image sensor with 2µm pixel size
- HTC Zoe, BlinkFeed
- Front mounted stereo speakers, Beats Audio
- FM Radio
Looking at the two lists above, you'd think the Samsung Galaxy S4 has the upper hand. It's not that simple - not all bullet points have the same weight. For example, we'll take the sleek aluminum unibody over a hygroscope any day of the week. And the megapixel debate for the two cameras will probably take a huge chunk of this article to resolve.
But let's look at the schools of thought behind the two phones. The Samsung Galaxy S4 is the power user's heaven with settings, tweaks and toggles scattered all over the place - with all the proper hardware support too. TouchWiz is familiar and intuitive enough so regular users will not be lost, but they might miss out on some of the more exotic features of the Galaxy S4.
The HTC One is quite the opposite - it aims to make things simple. Zoe looks impressive, but require nothing of the user, it's all done automagically. The Optical Image Stabilization and Beats Audio similarly work behind the scenes to enhance the experience.
