The Samsung Galaxy S4 and the HTC One are the two latest handsets on the market, and are pretty much the best of what Android has to offer at this moment. Both have the latest in cell phone technology, although some of you believe that while the S4 has the edge in terms of speed, the One has the better build quality.

We’ve seen all sorts of comparison tests with these two handsets, such as benchmark, camera, battery and overall performance. However, we don’t think we have seen any reviews on video footage of the Galaxy S4 vs. S3, iPhone 5, HTC One, Nokia Lumia 920 and the Sony Xperia Z.

Most video capture reviews display them individually, which means you will find it hard to see the differences, as these smartphones shoot at different frame rates. However, by putting all the video footage of these handsets on one video side-by-side you get a better understanding of their diverse qualities.

The test was conducted by CNET UK, and you’ll see how he strapped all six handsets to a bendable metal rule and then went for a walk. It’s clear to see that the Lumia 920 stood out because of its optical image stabilization, which meant that video footage is much smoother. The 920 also had the most vivid colors, although in some cases it was too much.

The HTC performed pretty well, as did the iPhone 5, but you’ll notice in the video that the footage looked a little too dark, something I’ve noticed a lot with my iPhone 5. The Galaxy S4 is superb when it comes to taking still images, but shooting videos lets itself down because of how shaky it is.

Having said that, we have to wonder if the S4 image stabilization was turned, as it is switched off by default? Also it would have been a better test if a less flexible strip of metal was used, as the outside edges would have had more movement.

Are you happy with this test, or do you find it amateurish?

Even though the iPhone 5 is almost 8 months old, it’s still a very capable handset and sales are still impressive. However, there are two new kids on the block ready to show Apple’s aging smartphone a thing or two, and even though they talk a good talk, do they have the goods to deliver?

We have three videos for your viewing pleasure with one aim, to see how these three handsets fair. However, because this article is directed more for those of you thinking of getting a HTC One, this is our main focus. So the first video will look at the HTC One against the Samsung Galaxy S4, the second against the iPhone 5, and the third all three with each other.

First up we have a HTC One vs. Galaxy S4 benchmark test. This side-by-side comparison is of the best-of-the-best Android handsets, and while we know benchmark test scores don’t mean everything, it does give you an idea. The video runs for a little under 14 minutes, so is very thorough, although we kind of feel the reviewer is a little biased towards the S4, as he keeps saying it has the better hardware, when the two are evenly matched.

The second video is a HTC One vs. iPhone 5 benchmark comparison, and it’s like a comedy moment because of the size difference. It’s clear to see from the start that the iPhone 5S is starting on its back foot, as it has a slower processor speed. However, the results are not as far apart as you would’ve thought.

Finally we have a benchmark test video that puts all three of these handsets together, so which of the three do you think comes out on top? However, this is in German, but the benchmark tests are still the same, so just turn your sound down. We were unable to embed this one, so you will have to view it here.

When the HTC First was announced there was a great deal of excitement, because the performance and hardware were better than you would expect from a $100 contract handset, but also because it was a Facebook Home smartphone as well.

However, things have not gone the way AT&T had predicted, and as such there is now a rumor that AT&T could discontinue the HTC First, as users are unhappy with the Facebook Home-laden smartphone. We have yet to hear conformation from AT&T, but there is growing concern from within the carrier that neither the HTC First nor Facebook Home is something they are fully trying to market.

We’ve had so many people ask how can you remove Facebook Home from the HTC First, and if you do have the handset and are not enjoying the FB Home experience, then at least you are not forced to continue using the interface because there is a way for you to disable it.

HTC First: How to disable Facebook Home – All you need to do is go into the Home settings and the first option at the top is to turn off Facebook Home. It’s really as simple as that, because once you have done that it’s like you are looking at any other Android handset.

In the video you’ll see just by a couple of taps you have a device that is completely different, as the change is dramatic. We like the fact that Facebook Home does not keep reminding you that it has been switched off, and it will not even re-enable itself upon boot up.

It’s not really a shock that the First hasn’t proved too popular with users, but we shouldn’t condemn the phone just for one flaw, which as we have shown can be rectified. The biggest issue as you may have guessed is with Facebook Home. We’ve heard several cases will people had installed the UI onto their smartphone, and within minutes had uninstalled it again, it seems as though Facebook has developed a dud, wouldn’t you agree?

This article should help some of our readers that are still trying to decide what Android smartphone should be their next purchase, and have already narrowed the choice down with the main options being the Samsung Galaxy S4 vs. HTC One. We have taken a look at some of the latest reviews that put these popular Android phones against one another.

Samsung Galaxy S4 vs. HTC One in three confrontations – below this article you will find three videos that were uploaded to YouTube within the last week or so, and deliver hands-on insight and a verdict between the HTC One and Samsung Galaxy S4.

The first video runs for almost 30 minutes and provides one of the longest and most insightful reviews yet, although we won’t spoil the verdict between Samsung Galaxy S4 and HTC One, so you’ll need to watch the hands-on review or skip to the end but we recommend watching it all. You’ll learn more about the specs for both smartphones, media performance, useful features and differences in user interface.

If you care about listening to music on the Samsung Galaxy S4 or HTC One built-in speakers, then this first review clearly points out that the HTC One built-in speakers are a lot better than Samsung’s flagship smartphone. You can also see how smooth gaming is on both handsets and a lot more.

We have included two more HTC One vs. Samsung Galaxy S4 video reviews below the first video, which are shorter in length but well worth watching for more insight. The second hands-on video has over 2,000 likes and hardly any dislikes, so this 11-minute review is recommended by the YouTube community and might be due to it covering most aspects and being right to the point.

Finally, our last video putting the Samsung Galaxy S4 and HTC One side-by-side is a little more bias, which aims to explain why the Galaxy S4 is better than HTC One with 25 reasons. This video has been liked almost 1,000 times and has a lot more likes than dislikes, so again it is well worth a watch to see if they have any valid points in your opinion.

Watch the three videos comparing the Samsung Galaxy S4 and HTC One, and then let us know if any of these reviews changed your mind? If you want to see these two smartphones compared with a focus on cameras, then you should see our earlier article featuring a thorough camera test.

It has only been a few days since we published an article taking a look at the HTC One vs. Samsung Galaxy S4 in a thorough camera test, which is a pretty important choice for some people looking to purchase one of these two Android phones.

Today, we want to highlight the HTC One camera again but this time against the new Google Glass. This comparison had been captured by Android Community/SlashGear and we found the two videos on YouTube today, which were uploaded within the last 24 hours. You can see the two videos below this article.

The first video features the NVIDIA Shield Controlling AR Drone 2.0, which is filmed on the HTC One with 720p video capture (it is worth noting that the smartphone can achieve up to 1080p).

In the second video you will see the NVIDIA Shield controlling the AR Drone again, but this time it had been filmed using Google Glass in 720p video. It is pretty cool to see all these gadgets given a hands-on review.

It is strange seeing a camera test between HTC One and Google Glass, but the reviewer highlights the benefits of being hands-free when video capturing using Google Glass. One problem highlighted with Google Glass had been the gestures, which might take a little time to adjust to when compared to a smartphone.

How do you think the HTC One compares to Google Glass for video recording, especially when it comes to brightness and colors? Take a look at the videos below and share a comment.

If you had to choose between two of the best Android phones right now, the choice would have to be the HTC One vs. Samsung Galaxy S4. There are certainly some people that would favor the likes of Galaxy Note 3, but this is really classed as a phablet and more for those people that want something half way between a tablet and smartphone.

Today, we wanted to highlight a new video that landed on YouTube over the last week titled “HTC One UltraPixel vs. Galaxy S4 camera”. It is a hands-on review with both of these popular Android smartphones and looks at the cameras to see what handset would be the best choice for a camera phone.

HTC One camera specs – the image above is a screenshot from the video and features the mains specs for HTC One’s camera. You shouldn’t be too quick to count the HTC One camera as inferior to the Galaxy S4 based on megapixels.

HTC take a lot of pride in their new UltraPixel camera technology on the HTC One, which might only feature 4 megapixels, but offers increased pixel size to capture more light.

Samsung Galaxy S4 camera specs – Looking at camera specs alone it seems the Galaxy S4 has a big head start over the HTC One, if you look at only the 13 megapixels, but we urge our readers to watch the video comparison below this article to understand a lot more about UltraPixel’s and how both smartphones perform side-by-side.

You can see the almost 15-minute video below, so take a look at the thorough camera test and let us know your choice of HTC One vs. Samsung Galaxy S4? What made you decide on your favorite smartphone?

If you want to see the HTC One vs. iPhone 5 in a camera test, then take a look at our earlier article that features a video and some detailed articles taking a closer look.

It was inevitable that the HTC One and the Samsung Galaxy S4 was going to be pitted against each other in several tests, such as which has the better performance, camera and battery. However, it seems the latter offers better support with one certain application, and that would be Facebook Home.

The reason for this is because the HTC One now comes with official Facebook Home support, whereas you have to take the risk to download FB Home for the S4. However, at least it’s nice to finally see the new user interface on both flagship handsets, even if you have to compromise with one of them.

Facebook Home has been available to download and install for a while now, and we have already heard reports that after installing the UI many of you had been uninstalling it shortly after, as they thought it was a pile of garbage.

Having already given it a try, I’d tend to agree because it just seems utterly pointless. It’s hard to understand whom Facebook Home appeals to, but from what some of our readers and friends have been saying, it’s not for a general users, so maybe just reporters and bloggers?

The uninstall rate does seem to be rather high, but were you one of them who felt Facebook Home was utter garbage? If you are still undecided but find that your handset is not supported, then you can still run FB Home on your handset via a sideload, but this does come with a warning, so you do so at your own risk.

This year may only be five months old but thanks to the arrival of several top smartphones, it’s certainly a great time to buy a handset. And, having turned up in February and April respectively, two of the biggest have to be the HTC One and Samsung Galaxy S4, the new Android powerhouses on the block.

But, despite being well received by fans and critics, how do the pair stack up against the longstanding Apple behemoth, the iPhone? With the iPhone 5 having arrived last September with much fanfare, we take a brief look at the handsets’ key areas to see which, if any, has the overall edge.

Design – Everyone loves a good looking phone, and this is a department Apple has never had much trouble with. The iPhone 5 is no exception; impossibly light and thin, swathed in titanium and dominated by a tidy 4-inch display, it screams class and feels lovely in the hand. Following suit the HTC One also plumps for titanium, although it’s a little bit larger and rounded than the Apple device. A massive 4.7-inch display and attractive speakers make the front look nice, and it’s definitely a step up for the Taiwanse firm.

And the Samsung Galaxy S4? Well, having stuck with the polycarbonate found on previous handsets there’s little to report, and it certainly lacks that high class nature of the other two. Whilst it’s light and ergonomic, it’s hard not to be a little underwhelmed by the overall look of the device.

Display – As well as being varied in size, each of the devices’ displays also have different strong points. At 4-inches the iPhone 5 wields the smallest, but thanks to its LED-backlit iPS LCD nature it provides vivid and impressive visuals. Although it doesn’t have the highest ppi, images look wonderfully bright and crisp and video watching is always a pleasure.

For excellent colour representation the HTC One’s 4.7-inch display does very well, managing to combine both excellent colour reproduction and superb levels of detail into one package, yet despite not matching the whopping 468 ppi of the HTC, the Samsung Galaxy S4’s offering is a real show stopper. At 5-inches it’s not only large, but bursting with vibrancy and clarity enough to make it the best around.

Camera – A smartphone camera can often make or break a potential purchase for many people, and as a result all three handsets come out blazing in the imagery department. With its clever UltraPixels and Zoe imaging tech the HTC One offers an innovative take on the traditional camera, while the iPhone 5 weighs in with some sharp results thanks to its 8 megapixel snapper. Yet, once again, it’s the Samsung Galaxy S4 that proves the most well rounded, with a hatful of modes complimenting a 13 megapixel camera capable of top draw results.

Verdict – Separating the three is a tough decision and it will always come down to what people look for from a handset. With the HTC One offering camera innovation and a premium design, the iPhone’s unadulterated class and solid performance and the Samsung Galaxy S4 top specifications, they are certainly three of the best handsets around, and it may well be down to one particular feature that sways it, depending on the desired usage.

Most smartphone users would put the HTC One, Samsung Galaxy S3, Apple iPhone 5 and Sony Xperia Z in a list of top phones available to purchase right now. This is exactly what one YouTube user thought before they reviewed this collection of smartphones based on their display quality, which the finished review can be seen above this article.

The video runs for just under 12 minutes with the aim to discover what smartphone has the best display, and while this hands-on had been uploaded to YouTube within the last couple of weeks, it seems a little old already.

Some people feel that the Samsung Galaxy S3 shouldn’t be in this screen comparison, and in fact they feel the Galaxy S4 should be featured. Other viewers have commented by saying that this would be an unfair match if the Galaxy S4 were involved, which is thanks to that handset being one of the latest Android phones to release.

Which smartphone screen do you think looks the best? HTC One vs. Samsung Galaxy S3, iPhone 5 and Sony Xperia Z, what smartphone has the best screen in your opinion? Check out the video above and let us know if you agree with the comments.

If Apple does release an iPhone 5S at WWDC 2013, then we will be sure to feature a screen comparison with that handset and the Galaxy S4 shortly after release.

Our smartphones replace so many gadgets we used just a few years ago and have now become redundant thanks to the modern phone. When it comes to popular smartphones with good cameras the HTC One and Apple iPhone 5 compete at the very top of the table, and while it is true that Sony phones could be classed as the best for cameras, the HTC One is one of the best Android phones around and the iPhone 5 sets its own rules thanks to a loyal fanbase.

HTC One vs. iPhone 5 camera thoroughly tested – if you want to learn what smartphone offers the better camera then we have a couple of tests to show you, which aim to deliver the answer you’re looking for. The first comparison can be found in the video below this article that had been recorded in 1080p and the settings are on auto for both the HTC One and iPhone 5.

The video runs for almost one and half minutes and performs a simple video shootout, which features a split screen with the iPhone 5 and HTC One overlapping as people and the background move from one handset to the other. This is one of the best side-by-side comparisons we have seen on YouTube.

HTC One’s UltraPixels vs. the iPhone 5 and Nokia Lumia 920 – if the video below this article doesn’t convince you enough between the iPhone 5 and HTC One, then let’s throw the Nokia Lumia 920 into the mix and showcase another article that performs a thorough review of all three smartphones and their cameras.

The reviewer has published photos side-by-side with the Nokia Lumia 920, iPhone 5 and HTC One, but also with a Canon Elph 520 HS digital camera as well.

Take a look at the review on Tech Hive and see how the devices compare for daytime cityscape, Macro in full sun with bright colors, low-light portraits with flash and without.
