The one is $50 cheaper than the S4 with a contract... teacher got it due to that fact.

Can't wait for the S4 to come out in Australia. I was interested in the HTC but it's just missing some things I want, plus that ugly beats logo on the back. Yuck.

So, as usual, Australia gets the borked US quad-core Qualcom processor version with the integrated (read crap) DAC while Europe gets the octo-core CPU and the Wolfson DAC. 

 
No S4 for me then until the Euro spec ones are available secondhand.  Why would I 'upgrade' to a phone that sounds way worse than my trusty HTC Desire?

ordered the HTC one today, should get it soon. pretty excited. played with an S4 and the One today and much preferred the One surprisingly

Both the S4 and HTC One look good...but im still very happy with my Note 2 to upgrade.

I'll wait for the Note 3 or whatever it will be called

Yeah, I wish the S4 had a bigger screen... But great phone, battery might not be the best, but it lasted a while while feeding 2 different USB DACs (The Creative one (I wasn't an audiophool at the time! ) which the phone powered, and the E7 while on "Don't charge through USB").

Anybody know if the upcoming Firefox phone will output USB digital audio?

I seriously doubt it considering it will be a first generation device.

I would say that the developer models were the first generation; evidently they were very well received.

Haha I know, I'm not sure if I could go back to a smaller screen

I find the battery is great if you turn off Data and Wi-fi when you don't really need it. Than the battery lasts quite a while.

will have to do... Also, all the NFC, Bluetooth, and random hand control things might wear on the battery... :rolleyes:

Ya those too but its the wifi and data that are the real killers I think.

Most of that I have off and don't use anyway (maybe I should lol). I do, however, leave my screen brightness max all the time.

I keep my brightness on auto... max might wear down a bit too much power... (It did on my S2 Skyrocket...) that phone was COMPLETE JUNK!

I honestly don't notice too much of a difference in battery power when I had it in auto compared to max.
