s4 mini or htc one mini?

[bubu_bubu]

I know that on paper the s4 mini has the better specs. I'm hesitant to buy the s4 mini because samsung smartphones tend to lag even with the good specs (i have a s2 right now). Can someone who has used a htc one mini and s4 mini tell me how they compare in real life?

I didnt see any difference, apart from touchwiz vs sense, between the s4 mini and the one mini.
But i prefer running cyanogenmod anyway so maybe i just didnt want to see any difference

don't remember all the specs of the htc one mini, but I think it has the better resolution. Anyway I choose the s4 mini because the htc one mini doesn't offer a micro sd slot.

I've never gotten much hands-on time with the one mini so I can't give a good comparison except that the one mini felt sturdier due to its metal frame.

Also, the S4 mini doesn't lag. Especially after installing custom roms

lag? but....wait, you really want to use stock ROM?

install cyanogenmod, it's awesome!!

The S4 Mini is higher performance than the S3 (yes, S3, not just S3 Mini). I've never seen it lag, neither on stock nor on CM ROMs. Note that I don't play any demanding games, though.

In synthetic benchmarks, the S4 Mini is also considerably faster than the HTC One Mini. Both phones have the same CPU, but it's clocked about 20% faster in the S4 Mini than in the One Mini. Furthermore, the S4 Mini has 50% more RAM. The S4 Mini has a lower resolution display than the One Mini, which may be a con for you but it certainly helps in providing a super-snappy GUI.

Had the same dilema, but at the end went for S4 mini, as it has more advantages (at least for me - removable battery, memocard and easy to manage with Odin).
