Samsung Galaxy S4 vs iPhone 5 vs HTC One

[huntsonora]

Thinking about making a change in phones as my contract has been up for 6 months. I've been a loyal iPhone guy for quite a while and am leaning towards the Samsung Galaxy S4

iPhone 5S should be out in a month or so and because if that I may wait a bit

Any thoughts?

What carrier?

Not knowing your carrier and the fact that you can wait a month or two, i would recommend waiting for iPhone 5S and S800-equipped Android phones. S800 is a Qualcomm CPU/GPU chip that is a MUST HAVE for Android phone. Neither current Galaxy S4 nor HTC One have this chip.

LG G2 will be the first phone (on most network) with this S800 chip.

If you're on Sprint, then you MUST wait for the S800 chip phone (or iPhone 5S) because that will allow you to use Sprint's upcoming tri-band LTE.

Hope this helps.

I am currently with Verizon. The HTC One was supposed to be released today but it looks like it will come out Aug 15.

Thanks for taking the time to give your input, I am ignorant when it comes to this stuff

Do you travel international a lot?? Samsung is coming out with an updated S4 later this year that will have S800 (will also piss off lots of current S4 owners) and ability to roam internationally on LTE bands.

In other words, WAIT.

I spend a lot of time in Mexico and Verizon sucks down there. Telcel is a GSM network and Verizon is CDMA so I only get reception in towns.

When will these other phones be available?

Was going to go with the HTC One after reading way too many threads...but work just bought my an iPhone 5. Not what I wanted, but can't complain about a free phone.
