Samsung Galaxy S4 vs iPhone 5 vs HTC One vs BlackBerry Z10
Packed with a 5-inch screen, a 13-megapixel camera, and either a quad- or octo-core processor (depending on where you are), the GS4 is dressed to the nines with hardware goods.
So how does it stack up against its current competition? Based purely on a spec-by-spec showdown, we line up the handset with three other popular flagships, each of them on different OS platforms: Apple’s iPhone 5, the HTC One, and the BlackBerry Z10.
