keep the amaze or go htc one S?

bangsters · Apr 4, 2012

Hey guys sup!!!

Anyway, Tmo US is bringing in the HTC One S. Wondering what you guys think about it. Is it worth to switch, or just keep the amaze? I went form htc sensation to htc amaze in 1 month, now i'm not sure if i should do the same and switch to htc one s.....

if it were the htc one x with quad proc then should be a no brainer, but TMO US the way they are argghh, just don't get why they didn't get the htc one x instead....

any thoughts??? Also, I believe the galaxy note is now workable in TMO US, as someone here got it to work with a different radio....

I wouldn't, if people think battery life on the amaze sucks, it'll probably be worse on the one s because it has a smaller capacity battery, as for me the upgrades are very nice but not quite worth it to switch from the amaze. I don't like how OEMS are starting to remove the search button, its something i use all the time.

mrmako777 · Apr 4, 2012

the fact that it has a non removable battery and no expandable memory are the killers for me. hell, i dont like the fact the amaze has an internal sd, but its tolerable

I agree, too soon to switch. Dev. is picking up and once the release of 'you know what' comes out it'll be a free for all. Nobody is working on 2.3 anymore, its the calm before the storm. I see lots of good things on the next couple of months for the amaze

If you don't care about not being able to pull your battery or increase your sdcard storage then upgrade.

Not being able to install a bigger sdcard and not being able to pull the battery are deal breakers for me. 16gb of storage is not enough for me. I'm already past 16gb on my 32gig. Not being able to pull the battery also means you won't be able to replace it with a better extended life one. We all know stock android batteries suck ass.

In my opinion, the one s is not much better than the amaze. Besides sense 4.0 it gots nothing else on the amaze and almost nothing at all when the amaze receives the official ics update.

One series has a kill switch instead of a removable battery (so u can mimick a batt pull, but can't replace a shot battery

) and the no removable/expandable memory is a DEFINITE buzzkill... But it does come with internal storage and that Dropbox hack built in for an extra 23 GB

Either way, I think its ugly and I love my amaze... I'll wait

That's a pretty good point about the battery never thought... What if the battery goes bad you have to send your whole phone! Yikes.

Sounds like one reason I didn't buy an iPhone... Amongst others

I remember when I got my hero, I upgraded from a touch diamond, and I was blown away at the screen. That's what an upgrade should feel like, I look at my old one and then the new one, and you can definitely tell that there's an improvement. With today's phones, unless you're buying something that's got a 3D projection on it or something beamed straight to your brain, I think trying to top what we've already got is going to be pretty damn hard. 1080P? I can't notice much of a difference.

I think you would notice it on a 4.7 inch screen. Hell, my mytouch has a 3.8 in hdpi screen and I can tell a difference between that phone and my amaze. Maybe you need glasses?

The One S is a lot faster than the amaze.. supposedly ~60% increase clock for clock based on the new "s4" snapdragon. But that probably isn't enough of a reason to jump ship unless you have a lot of money you want to burn. The screen is also kind of weak on the One S. Hopefully tmobile gets a version of the X.

It has ics and suppose to be faster but can't upgrade the battery or memory i would pass

I said much of a difference. The current screens are very good nowadays anyway, the differences are miniscule. And I already wear glasses

btw, samsung can kiss my ass!

stratax · Apr 4, 2012

1080p on a 4.7 screen would be so pointless.. it would also be laggy, much more than 720p. even wvga looks decent on the titan, qhd look good, 720p looks amazing, thats a waste of tech/money lol. just my 2 cents.. most people that have normal human eyes don't notice a difference between 720/1080 unless the screen is around, or above 50"

samsung hasnt released a superamoled plus screen with anything above wvga as of now anyways, i dont see why or how they would jump to 1080p. unless they have been working on something for a quite a while

I don't get why some of you like to drop so much cash on new phones that do the same thing. Talk about wasting money.

rbaruch · Apr 4, 2012

From what I've read on the engadget review, the amaze has a better camera for stills. Plus once ics hops along we should be getting better battery life and performance.

I agree, I had to wait for a tax refund to buy my amaze, had the G2 for a year before getting the amaze and that was only because it was free with a new account. I'll stick with it for awhile now, I love tech but I don't find a need or have the cash to upgrade every 6 months when some l "cutting edge" device comes out.
Once some "other" things happen for amaze it'll be even more of a beast.

I also agree on not wasting money. My mytouch lasted me over a year, before that my 9700 was two years.

I will be sticking with this one for awhile. Least a year. 6 months is to fast, lol!
