In case anyone missed the S4 Advance, it's 99% the phone for a good few quid less.

HTC one here and it's still ticking all the boxes to be honest.

Until you can get a phone that has at least 64Gb memory as standard (Apples excluded) I'm always going to go for one with expansion slots. HTC One does not offer this so no deal for me.  Samsung it has to be.

Have the newer S4's stopped exploding and taking entire houses down with them?

My new S4 lasted 4 months before it melted. Got quite hot for about a month then kaput. The battery's also warp according to the repair people so they keep them in stock buy the ton for replacement. ???

I have an S3 and have been pondering my next update. Regardless of the storage size shortcomings I have been tempted to move away from Samsung towards HTC as I have had trouble with every Samsung phone.

I use Spotify and Netflix why would I need storage?

Windows Phone is where it's at. My Lumia 1020 is brilliant. 64gb memory as standard :D

Horses for courses. I like my music all in 1 place where I don't have to rely on a connection or get hit by roaming charges just to listen to it. If my old Creative Zen Vision M wasn't knackered at the PC connection pins I'd still be using that.

I loved my HTC Desire S with Jellybean.
I now have a Sony Xperia SP upgraded to JB, very ropey.

Ditto I am afraid, poorly written software, terrible battery life and woeful memory consumption, performance that degrades over time, I could go on but you get the idea.
