Buy it. Don't look at any other phone, just buy it right now.
Today marks the 2 weeks anniversary of me and my baby girl, she's suffered a few knocks but she's still in an impeccable condition - the Gorilla Glass 3 seems to really do its job. Yes we're gonna hear the normal complaints that the phone's made out of plastic, but that seems to keep the scratches at bay, whereas the aluminium on the HTC One and iPhone 5 may be liable to scratches.
The camera's beautiful, no other words to describe it.
The issue is the fact that it's a 16 GB phone, but you only get 9 GB of data usable, but my 16 GB SD card came today, and now all my music is on my SD card, which leaves a few extra gigs of space on my internal memory, and apparently yesterday Samsung started rolling out an update in Germany that allowed the apps to be stored on the SD card, and other countries are to follow soon.
The other issue is there's too many options for some things. Like do I want to use the Samsung calendar or the Google calendar? Google Play music or the Samsung music player? I used Google Play music for my Nexus but because I wanted things like Group Play, I had to convert which is a shame because I actually preferred it, but oh well there isn't too much difference.
It's really between the HTC One and the Samsung Galaxy S4. The HTC One feels nicer in your hand and looks nicer, the SGS4 just has loads of features.
If there's anything you wanna know about this phone just ask me.

I got the Iphone5 a few weeks ago but never had a previous Iphone to compare it to.
I'm very happy with it though. Screen is crystal clear and it's a nice size and functions well.
I looked at the S4 and I have heard good things about it. The thing that put me off though was the size.
My mate sold his Iphone5 for the nexus. He prefers the droid OS.
They also say Iphone users get more sex but nothing yet. Mine must be faulty.

Iphone users apparently also get mugged more.

HTC One - looked at it and will get it next month on 4G.

Yep i've decided i'm going for the HTC One too. Don't want another iPhone and it was between the HTC One and the S4.....AND THE HTC WON (one)
The main advantages of the HTC One are:
However the S4 in my opinion is not an ugly phone in the slightest, however that may be because I have an S View cover (pictured below) which just makes the phone look brilliant. Whenever I look at it I really feel it puts the smart in smartphone as it really does look smart, and I really do feel I'm too young for a phone of this calibre.
Whichever phone you choose, I really can't recommend the iPhone at all. You see people going from iPhones to Androids and them loving their new phones, then you see one or two people going from iPhone to Android and regretting it.
- Its camera is better in low light (though in my opinion isn't as good as the S4's camera overall)
- The speakers are on the front and they use Beats speakers
- It looks and feels nicer

I used to love the iPhone and I used to own an iPod Touch which essentially does the same thing except for the fact it doesn't make calls or texts, but the software just became so boring and restricted, and as Android grew I ended up falling in love with that instead. Now I own an S4 I laugh at the iPhone.

Also 4G speeds are exceptional. It takes about 3 seconds to download an app. I have the BT '76 mbps' fibre optic broadband (meant to be twice as fast as their standard fibre broadband, which is supposed to be 38 mbps, but I'm lucky when mine is even 20 mbps) and my phone's 4G is noticeably faster.
Thanks for all the advice lads. I ended up ordering the S4
You won't regret it.
If you're putting lots of music on it I'd also highly recommend an SD card as you only get over 9 GB of space despite the fact it's a 16 GB phone.
If you wanna make the phone look super-sexy then also treat yourself to an S view cover like I did. I spent £24 on something to cover my screen and I don't regret it in the slightest, though now it's advertised as £8 so I am slightly tinkled off. The Carphone Warehouse were selling it for £45 which I thought was a bit of a tinkle-take.

You can get a new charger off ebay for a fiver. The plug the usb slots in to must be faulty
