Taiwanese electronics firm HTC had recently unveiled the flagship HTC One smartphone in London and New York City.

Remark:
Considering the above feature comparison, both smartphones have negligible differences between them. They have similar a quad-core processor, memory space and Android mobile OS. Even though Galaxy S3 was released more than eight months ago, it can still give the new HTC One smartphone a run for its money.
With an aluminum exterior unibody case and super-LCD 3 display with 468 ppi pixel density, HTC One scores more points against the Galaxy S3, but it remains to be seen if it can match its rival's record sales.
