Galaxy S 5 vs HTC One

2014-02-24
everybody's michael fisher from the unpacked event in new york city and while Anton and hi mayor chickened out the galaxy s5 as it relates to the galaxy s4 we thought we'd give you a quick look at how it compares the HTC One now we should make the point that the one is about to be obsoleted by its immediate sequel but just so that people who currently carry a one can see because the new one is probably going to look a whole lot like this whenever the leaks are accurate which we think they are this is how they compare side-by-side there's that Samsung new glam look with the textured back don't let it fool you it is still polycarbonate but it does feel a lot better than the hyper glaze just not the not the aluminum of the HTC One see very very clear design q differences here let's take a look at thickness visually they look roughly on par HTC is using some tricks as it usually does on the edges to make the device appear thinner than it is Samsung engaging in no such obfuscation just have a look at the devices side-by-side with power on the screens this is a 4.7 inch display on the left hand side and it's slcd 3 of course 5.1 inch super amoled on the right so the colors are really popping we're also running stock Android over here and this is a good opportunity to show you just how different TouchWiz remains from from stock android of course Samsung hasn't actually used the term touch waves in a very long time but it is their custom UI it's just as heavy as ever but as you can see heavy does not always have to mean full of lag very very very responsive even on this demo unit of course we've been the only ones to touch this today so we'll have to spend more time with the galaxy s5 to see how responsive it is here's that new multitasking view and similar but not identical to the stock Android background on the back side we see the effects a year have had Samsung's 16 megapixel camera with its new rapid focus selectable focus after the shot and so on laying waste on this next sheet should they 4 megapixel ultrapixel shooter of the HTC One course real world design the student real word performance you have no idea how that's going to go we certainly have no idea how they will do how it will do when paired up against the HTC One the all new HTC One but we're fairly certain the new HTC One does not have a heart rate scanner and so we're going to tentatively give points to Samsung on that one flipping back around folks once again just a very very quick look for those who have not had a look at the HTC one next to the galaxy s5 that's what we're playing with and more coming from york michael fisher with adam lane behind the camera stay tuned for more
