I keep hearing that HTC is becoming the Apple of Androids. That has me a bit put-off by them. My first android is the one I have now,and the little time I was with the evo I liked, but I was still partial to the amoled display. I don't really have the color issues. My phone doesn't use the dual green per pixel system like the s3. I don't believe the s4 does either though. I believe it's rbg. I'm not sure though, even though this phone doesn't have an SD slot either I really want my SD music lol. 2yrs without being able to play makes me sadface. Not to mention the embedded battery the One has. Idk I've had to battery pull this phone quite a bit (I come from blackberry curve 8530). So a worry about needing to do a pull and not being able to concerns me. I'd also like a removable battery so I can replace it if it wears out without having to replace the entire phone. I mean there's a lot about the One I love. Build quality, reminds me of my old Moto RAZR days xD. I liked my nexus s over the evo though display wise. The colors on LCD displays aren't as vibrant to me.
In the end though removable batteries and SD card slots are quite important to me. Plus I prefer a display that doesn't load the battery like LCD backlit displays do. I know it's like I'm a galaxy series fanboy, but aside from all of the bloat and air gimmicks it just kinda seems more practical for my needs. Nothing against HTC, my best friend has the One and loves it, but I'm a very heavy user as I don't carry a laptop with me and inevitably use my phone as a personal computer.
Oh!!! While I'm thinking about it. My friend dropped his One and his screen cracked. Gorilla glass 2 I believe, and I remember Aaron from phonedog dropped his on his volume rocker and bent the button where he can't use it. I've dropped my plastic nexus soooo many times and it's fine. Doesn't even have gorilla glass and it's screen is perfect just like the day I unboxed it. I kinda think the One is more susceptible to damage because of the aluminum build. That's just me though I suppose.
