Default HTC one

Just a quick question for anyone with the HTC one. What's the touchscreen like?? Or more importantly how does the touchscreen compare to the one on the iPhone?

Cheers.

Well i had a slight change of plans in the end, how ever I'm now the happy owner of a htc one mini and I have to say its nicer to use than my old iPhone.

So next question, what interesting features does it have hidden away??

Not a lot as Apple have copied a lot of Android features in iOS 7 but the One Mini does have a far superior screen than any iphone Apple offers. Also you have to take the 'smart' out of smartphone for iPhones as you have to pretty much turn off all the useful features in iOS 7 to get a decent battery life (for the 5 at least) just to last the day.

I read that the latest ios is problematic for battery life unless like you said, disable many functions

My Note 3 has excellent battery life, all features are switched on, BT wifi sync eyetracking high level of screen brightness, even power save is disabled, I have more than 50% left after 12 hours of heavy use. The battery is large and the Qualcomm 800 processor motors

I was a big apple fan.

3/3g/4s/5 ditched the 5 as it was less than three days old an I was on my second phone.

The HTC on pisses on it in pretty much every aspect. Bar one. The touch screen is a tiny bit better on the iPhone

It's quad core too so rapid b

The battery on the iPad Mini is awesome, its almost as big as the Note so comparable.

As for the quad core, are you referring to benchmark tests? You should know that Samsung have been found to be cheating on those tests, telling you lies basically.

My iPhone can't even last a day without switching off most features and its not the fastest even though it has an unusable 64 bit processor, those cheating copying Samsung have produced a Note 3 that can use all its processors and last for days mwaaah mwaaah

Fact is their phones don't perform at the levels they test at, the results are lying to you the user.

I smell bull****. My nearly 3 year old iPhone lasts all day on a charge. I can't wait until two years time when you're raving about the 64bit chip in your Samdroid phone.

Samsung will release their own 64 bit processing chipset when all the hardware can utilise it to the maximum performance. But you won't believe the benchmarks

Btw Android has always been 64bit compliant, it's based on linux

i can tell from actually using them haha

i tried my dads htc one xl, and that was slow, and a bit buggy. thus i kept my iphone,

but im sorry the htc one i have in my opinion knocks spots off the iphone 5s i had....

wether you believe it or not thats up to you, i admit apple make great products, but there a bit like a dictatorship in what you can actually do to their products,

simple fact being if i could of jailbroken the iphone i got, id of prob kept it!

Who would believe any Samsung benchmarks, and it's not just Samsung, I think the only Android manufacturer that doesn't bull**** is Motorola, the rest had to make figures up to impress you fandroids.

Android, compliant, LOL.
