what's up everyone John render from TechnoBuffalo here at the head-to-head battle of two of arguably the best smartphones out right now in one corner we've got HTC's flagship the HTC One on the other we got Apple's bad boy the iPhone 5 we're gonna put these two guys head-to-head and declare a winner in this smartphone smackdown let's get fightin all right sweet that'll hold these two phones back from each other ever since we got the HTC One in our hands they are ready for a fight so if you caveat here these are two phones as folks are gonna have a pretty solid choice from without the deciding which phone to get obviously the HTC One came out much more recently than the iPhone 5 when the iPhone 5 successor comes out the five s to the 6 we will update this but as of this filming in the middle of March these are two phones that are readily available that consumers are going to be choosing from so in previous battles we've broken them up into categories and speed and see which phone was faster but really opening up apps and browsing websites and seeing which one looks quicker just doesn't work anymore phones are fast every phone even entry-level phones right now are very quick so that's not gonna work the way we're gonna do this video is I'm gonna mention something I like about a phone something I don't like about the other phone so it's mentioned in the HTC One category it means I like it better on the HTC One then the iPhone 5 so let's go ahead and start with things that are a wash means I like them both on both devices and a lot of these things you'll see are things Apple used to have just completely locked down in the past let's start with build quality and this one is a huge compliment to HTC they've learned phone after phone after phone how to get build quality just right and I think they've really nailed it it's from the culmination of years of phone making with the HTC One and certainly the same thing is true with Apple there's a lot of similarities when it comes to build quality unibody aluminum design we've got antenna bands on the top and bottom really done there's a very very nice job with the build both phones feel very cool in the hand I'm not talking cool with like a that movie's cool weird that gasps whoo girls cool I'm talking actually cool to the touch the aluminum absolutely incredible both phones screen quality HTC has done an incredible job with build quality and Apple hasn't really been some of the best in the industry so next let's talk about boom those guys let's talk about camera we did a full comparison post comparing the HTC One camera versus a slew of other smart phones including the iphone 5 we saw some interesting results so I think HTC One is much better in low-light the ultrapixels have allowed more light in to get crisper images with less of blurriness going on I thought the HTC one had better video quality as well 1080p video and also better audio quality the iPhone I thought did a better job in just a normal light settings and has a much improved digital zoom due to the increase in megapixel count so if you want to print images out gigantically certainly the iPhone might be a bit of a better option but for uploading things to Facebook or Instagram you know both are going to be great choices so one was better one category has been better than the other but when it comes to cameras I think both these are great choices neck is something Apple again used to have locked up user interface the iPhone used to be and still is very elegant easy to use and easy to learn that was one of its great appeals Android now I think has that same thing I think sense five for the augment set it's easy to use it's easy to learn and it's a very elegant interface now so hats off to HTC and Android for catching up and in some ways passing what Apple has done next speed both these phones are fast doesn't matter when that thing with quad-core dual core here both of them just work very well apps open quickly games play fast they're both really fast phones you know quadrant scores and that kind of thing really doesn't matter that much to me and user experience is what I like to gauge my phones by and both of these were really really really quick alright so now let's get to what I like better what I like worse let's start with what I like better with the HTC One let's start with this beautiful display the screen I'm not talking about the screen size size is subjective whether or not you want a 4.7 inch screen a 5.5 inch screen or 4 inch screen fan on the iPhone talking about the panel itself this is an absolutely gorgeous display Full HD resolution and that is 1920 by 1080 with a ridiculous PPI of almost 470 things look absolutely gorgeous so I've said in the past talk about the screens videos look great pictures look beautiful but really what I use the phone for most you just noticed a difference so when I'm reading emails replying to texts or browsing Facebook or Twitter or Instagram there's something about the display that really just pops to me it almost looks like there's a sticker on it you have to peel off and a real screen is gonna be below it it is absolutely gorgeous and you compare that to the screen on the iPhone 4 which is certainly not slouch the resolution of 11 36 by 640 with the 326 PPI it's really incredible what HTC has done with their screens here alright next Google search I think is absolutely outstanding the UI I don't think is as solid as serious but when it comes to speed information you get I think Google search has Siri whipped and we did head tech comparisons comparing Google search with Siri but for my money I will go to Google search nine out of ten times over what I look on for Siri plus on the HTC One it's actually British what's the weather today today is forecast for evan is 72 degrees and mostly cloudy who won the Lakers game the Lakers lost to the Suns 99 to 76 what's the weather outside who won the Lakers game seems a little harsh next Google now is something that I really don't think we've seen anywhere else Google now is an incredibly useful tool if you have a long commute home at say how long you have to go to drive home I'll give you sports scores it just does a ton of really interesting things I find very useful you can choose to use it or not use it but it's really nice to be able to have next let's talk about speakers this guy right here booms down it's not just the speaker it's the whole algorithms that go into making the sound come out the speaker's here absolutely awesome in our review of the HTC One we did a versus on the speaker side versus H versus the iPhone 5 you can really hear the difference and we did the test with front-facing cuz you're watching a phone or watching a video rather are listening to music you'd be looking at the screen so that's why the tests were doesn't like that and you guys can hear the difference for yourself so the HTC one does a lot of things really well but and do everything better than the iPhone five let's talk about what the iPhone 5 does better than the HTC one first battery life battery life on the HTC One is no slouch able to get through a full day with 20 to 30 ish percent left on the iPhone 5 you can found an extra 10 percent to that battery life is really outstanding on the iPhone 5 Apple's really optimized the OS for the hardware I think battery life so in the instances where you really really see that also charge time is crazy fast on the iPhone 5 from zero charge to full you can get it almost up there and hour and a half inch fish which is really impressive next is one of my favorite features of the iPhone and iOS and that's PI message I think they've really knocked it out of the park and I know that there are other alternatives for Android I use whatsapp all the time I don't have a desktop what's up application I can't use you know whatsapp on every tablet that's not an iPad I love the way iMessage works I love to be able to use it to text friends and I wish that there was some sort of equivalent on Android we're hearing rumors of Google babble coming out which might unify all the chat platforms but right now apples got eye messages and that really does an incredible job next the keyboard I still prefer the keyboard in iOS was one of the first really well done on-screen keyboards HTC keyboard is no slouch and Ray built-in keyboards are no slouch but I'm not a user of swipe so that really hasn't affected me what I use when it comes to just tapping on the screen I still prefer the keyboard on iOS 5 next integrated visual voicemail I love how well is integrated into the operating system on the iPhone 5 now some phones have integrated some don't on our international unlock you know HTC One it is not integrated after use a third-party app in this case I use you mail but I really like how its integrated right into the operating system to write inside of the phone application a next is app quality certainly there are a ton of cross apps that are available on both operating systems but the quality of the apps are designed for really one or two devices and I think the apps are still have a little bit of an edge when it comes to iOS now certainly you can every app on really any operating system you want as long as into these two but if you're comparing the same app I think it just a little bit better experience here on iOS so we put these two guys head-to-head we talked about different cat or talked about screens and speakers and messaging systems which one is the winner the winner for me is the HTC one is the winner of this head-to-head battle if I had to pick a phone when I was walking in the store and these two were sitting on the shelves I would pick up the HTC One and I would sign a two-year contract to get the HTC One I'm really excited to see what Apple has next the next-generation iOS is gonna do its next generation of hardware is going to be but for right now for my money the HTC One takes the cake do you guys agree disagree I'd love to hear your thoughts give this video a thumbs up leave all your comments down below and of course
