My predecessor models were the S1, S2 & S3 (all without Root) - particularly the S3 is very dear to my in the last 10 months to the heart. I really wanted the S4 was, however, compared the optical aspect of the S3 very disappointed and therefore got me Samsung ventured once to another brand for 3 years.
Processing with my One is good, absolutely spotless! After all the negative reviews diesbzgl. I got my equipment on several occasions scrutinized (actually) and no gaps, no oblique display, rough or frayed transitions of the plastic, yellowish discoloration or pixel errors (PlayStore pixel test) can determine. Too bad that it currently reads a lot of poorly manufactured devices.
The aluminum back looks beautiful, but I am cautious and shy scratch so I've bought myself a transparent ultra-slim Hard Case with EB * y. Even with this case fits the One still super into this bag:
Bugatti Skinny Universal Leather Case size XL glowing coal
The LED notification light can be also clearly seen when the phone is in your pocket.
The battery has now already several charge cycles behind them and I get along well but 1.5 to a maximum of 2 days over the round (for normal to frequent use, but rarely in the game mode). Battery performance I find therefore absolutely satisfactory. (S3 ran 14-16 hours and I had for emergencies always a Power Bank in my handbag)
The display is an absolute stunner. Bright - but not exaggerated colors, pleasantly light just phenomenal (with automatic brightness setting), the entire resolution.
With the camera'm actually quite happy. It dissolves quickly, photo-in video function is convenient Zoe a cool thing (which unfortunately still often forget to apply). The photos on mobile phone, Tab or the 15 "to consider laptop is super, zoom larger (on the PC - not in still images) -. Well, here is the missing MP then make fairly quickly noticeable with the quality, I am satisfied, have with S3 also most photographed only in 2.4 or 3.2 MP.
To be honest, my S3 camera was in some settings, etc. a little more sympathetic.
With the surface Sense5 I coped quickly, it is clearer and tidier than TouchWiz, which I already miss a few small gadgets compared to S3 (which is not necessarily required but)
The missing button bar (is that right?) From S3 I've missed from the beginning. Here you can quickly help with Widgetsoid. I use the non-application as a widget on a home screen but I've attached a firmly fixed bar with My shortcuts which is to be used immediately when pull down the status bar. The app offers a lot of personal settings and gimmicks, solely with the design requirements.
What's bugging me tierisch the kilometers long folder preview in the photo album. What you doing here all uploads by Facebook friends and favorite pages? Can you turn off this somehow? Sure, I can get me another album view from PlayStore, only then will not play me in my preview Zoe recordings, and I thought that was convenient and nice to look at. Basically, however, it is just a touch more and you are in a personal photo album. A small (unnecessary) detour, annoying, but not too bad.
Blink Feed is here - all right, but it does not interest me really with the current offer. If you have Facebook added the mobile streaming only constantly and unnecessarily consumes battery. I have fixed it on the first page of the Home screen, but switches usually only between 2.3 and 4 page back and forth. Blink Feed is just a nice-to-have.
The power button is up there already ok, but it is a pity that the volume up / down rocker switch is programmed to pick up the phone from sleep mode. Here probably 2 hands are required for most users.
(Am a woman and have normal-sized hands)
The stereo speakers on the front are awesome. For example, if I'm traveling with my kids and have, for example, waiting times I let them now and then playing with the phone and Watching movies. At S3, the speaker's on the back and you'd have the volume level even turn up a fair bit to understand everything. Is in waiting rooms just not as attached and uncomfortable. The One with the boxes in my direction - not a problem, a small volume is sufficient and not disturbing other people in the environment.
The 32GB memory for my use almost almost (viiiele photos, MP3's and videos). The 25GB of Dropbox storage I therefore find the right practical and facilitated me much.
The back button often went with me just to Use 3 or 4 times, which I was very annoyed. I thought the field sensors is made too small. Strangely, I've since Software Update 1.28 to 1:29 Not once more had a problem with it.
Everything runs smoothly, smoothly, quickly and respond at the first touch.
Conclusion: I regret never, I have times changed the brand and am pleased that I probably really caught a "perfect device".
Thanks for reading ;-)))

small update 05/27/13
So I am simply amazed by the battery. I'm actually almost up to 2.5 days out of it.
Terms:
Phone about 15-20 minutes daily, Whats App, SMS, Email, Facebook, Play Store, Camera, Photo Album, MP3's, Internet (about 1 hour throughout the day distributed)
I have the phone in sleep mode overnight (about 7 hours).
In 15-18% percent I invite again, takes about 2.5 hours. On outlet.
(The S3 I had the same use at night and in sleep mode and unfortunately never came anyway about my 16 hours)
