There has been a lot of talk about the HTC one and how it is giving the iPhone 4s a run for its money. However, people are still not sure about which phone is actually better. Since the iPhone 4s is the most popular phone out today and everyone knows what the phone is capable of, it is a great phone to compare to when looking to see a new phone’s worth. Here are a few things to consider when looking at both phones and trying to decide on buying one.
Design 
Both phones are very different and you can tell right away. The HTC is obviously much bigger and the iPhone 4s is more portable. The HTC is bulkier than the iPhone 4s and has share edges. This may be a negative feature for some while others might want a bigger phone. Overall, the iPhone 4s design is still superior for the screen and the portability.
Display
The HTC display is definitely bigger with a 4.7″ Super-LCD screen while the iPhone 4s is more traditional with the IPS-LCD screen. However, the HTC has a higher pixel count and so the quality of images might be clearer for the HTC. Most people will actually prefer the One X’s screen and mainly because it is bigger and games are more fun with a bigger and clearer screen.
Performance
Both phones are fairly equal when it comes to the quality of the calls and though the HTC might sound better with the earpiece, it is still la bit weaker when it comes to volume. The iPhone 4s is the opposite as the earpiece is weak but the speaker is louder. However, the iPhone 4s’ microphone is louder and so this is the small benefit.
Overall, the iPhone 4s is mainly for longtime Apple fans while the HTC might be a phone that can make some Apple fans think twice about their loyalty.

Here are a few types of gadgets you can use to help augment some specific features of the iPhone.Speakers and Amplifiers: One of the best aspects of the iPhone is the number of music files that can be easily stored, but you may not want to play them over your headphones all the time. Fortunately, there are a number of speakers and amplifiers that can help boost the sound similar to what you would hear in old fashioned boom boxes. There are several versions that vary in cost from Vestalife to Bose speaker systems. In most cases, the iPhone is docked into a stand that connects it to a small amplifier and twin speakers system, allowing the audio to be heard comfortably in a small room.
Another version created by Griffin augments the iPhone’s own speakers by using a very small amplifier that also doubles as a docking station. This unique item is fairly inexpensive and can fit in small places where speakers might be a problem.Stands: For those who enjoy watching a game or videos on their iPhone screen, but don’t want to hold the phone in their hands, there is a wide selection of stands to choose from. From simple products such as the GoGo Stand which can easily fold up and fit into your shirt pocket to the more elaborate PED3, which cradles your phone almost like in a strange hand holding the phone above the table.Car Accessories: Hands free iPhone are not just necessary when driving, in many places they are the law. One of the more interesting car stands is represented by the Xtand Go, which mounts the iPhone against the windshield, allowing for a solid stand with a clear view of the phone. Other stands, such as the BlueAnt Sun Visor S1 clips to your car visor and allow your iPhone to work with voice commands, leaving your hands free to drive. While researching also have a look at the new Samsung Galaxy S3 or
HTC Sensation XL. Also quite good!
