"the HTC One runs rings around the Galaxy S4 in night shots"

Maybe Samsung is doing something right here...but the HTC One had an awful camera. I bought it for the low-light camera performance. But it had some sort of hardware flaw that caused low light photos to have a purple haze. HTC had a replacement program, which would have required me to go without a phone for weeks. So I got Verizon to replace my phone with a refurb, which was actually worse. I just sent the refurb back and kept the purple haze phone.

After this I switched to iPhone, not least because if it is defective an exchange just takes a trip to a retail store.

I had the same phone, bought for the same reason, and had the same problem. It was a hugely expensive phone, with terrible, terrible lowlight photos and broken AF.

Furthermore, HTC refused to replace it under their replacement policy, as I had placed a custom ROM on the phone.

The woman on the phone actually said: this is a known hardware issue, but you changed your ROM, so bad luck.

Never would buy another HTC phone again.

Should put original ROM back. It's the same with all phones.
