Well:

 

Better battery life

Removable battery

Micro SD card support

Slightly bigger screen

Better camera

Will receive better software support

Better dev support (XDA)

Touchwiz is arguably better than Sense

 

The only thing the HTC One has I can think of is build quality.

For me the removable batter and the micro sd support is essential for a smart phone. I would hate the htc one because i always like to carry a spare battery and i have more than 40 gigs of music so i need a micro sd. I will pretty much not be able to have all the apps and music i would like and i would have to charge the battery when it dies, and i don't always have a place to charge my phone. Touch wiz isn't amazing but in my opinion it is far from bad, it has given me no real issues. Build quality wise who gives a shit... Its called a case. What idiot buys a smart phone and doesn't at least have a basic case for protection. The dual facing speakers of the htc are also pretty dumb because i don't see a situation in which i would care. I will be using ear buds or headphones, and when i get home i will be using my home theater system for music. I don't want to be the douche blasting music in a public place on my phone. My conclusion is that really picking a phone is preference, because i am sure everyone uses their phones for different things.  :ph34r:

Hopefully will get HTC One, but if I can't, either Lumia 1020 or iPhone 5 (when 5S comes out)

Touchwiz is light years behind sense. Its so laggy, and full of bloat. Sense is nearly lag free.

S4 camera is only better in high light pictures that need high detail. HTC One wins anywhere inside where there isn't much light.

Also, what idiot buys a device that looks amazing and puts it in a ugly case? That's the equivalent of marrying a model and putting her in a brown lunch bag.

Its not just boomsound, its beats audio. However the software side of beats audio is complete trash, the hardware that comes with it is nice. We get a stronger, cleaner audio signal. = better sound quality. So we may be able to play loud music, we can also play soft music/sound that's sounds good.

Touchwiz sux I would go for Sense 5 over Touchwiz any day, and I think you're the only person Ive ever heard of to carry around 2 battery's you want good battery life just get a Nokia 3310.

+ People who don't use cases aren't idiots there called careful never used a case on my Nexus 4 since I got it at release and never dropped a phone in my life.

+ if you want to show someone a video on your phone you dont want to squeeze both your heads into a pair of headphones, speakers facing towards where the person would be looking at the phone is incredibly effective.

I find my S2 HD LTE too large, like most new phones, so probably something similar in size to the S3 mini - hopefully they'll be more powerful relative to their big brothers than they are now!

It'll likely be the next Nexus phone made in another 2-3 years (granted the Nexus program is still around). I haven't been disappointed by any of my Nexus devices yet.

iPhone 5S more than likely.  iPhone's just work for what I need out of a phone.

I just recently got a Smartphone (first Galaxy S) with this contract (due next year).  I find that I don't really use the phones features all that much aside from Twitter, F/B, text and phone calls. 

 

So on that note, I'm probably gonna switch to an iPhone just for its "it just works" approach, which for me is just having something handy to communicate with.  I have tablets and a laptop for app / power usage.

Hmm, I want to try Android so the next well-designed Android device with a software interface that is both functional and nice to look at, that isn't too big (below 4.7") and supports wireless charging. The Moto X is really close to perfect for me from what I've seen, it just lacks wireless charging. But it isn't coming to Europe which makes it quite impossible anyway.

 

Perhaps the Nexus 5, but if the next new devices follow the trend they'll all be 5.5" 8-core monsters packed with weird gimmick features. Not my type of product.
