Deceptively light
Plastic materials
Overwhelming amount of software features could be difficult to use for some users
Only 8.9 GB of user accessible memory
Big surprise to nobody
The software is not up to snuff. Let's ignore for a moment that all of the ""innovative"" banner ""features"" mentioned above are at best useless and at worst annoying. The rest of the UI ain't much better. For example

Gorgeous 5-inch display, Slim, small chassis, Great camera performance in well-lit scenes, The rear speaker is sufficiently loud, A bevy of software features for the taking, Battery life that usually lasts most the day
The build and materials feel cheap, Low-light camera performance is poor, Call quality could be better, Intermittent lag and hesitation, Lots of Samsung and AT&T bloatware,

Abstract: Not that we have been avoiding it, but we felt the time was right to do a bare bones breakdown of the cameras found on the top two Android devices on the market right now, the HTC One and the Samsung Galaxy S4 . What makes both of these cameras unique is ...
