Better off waiting for a Nexus 5.

Google Edition S4 removes the bloatware from the Samsung S4. The only difference will be that the Google edition will run Stock Android and will be light years faster than the s4.

It also removes any advantage the S4 had over it's competition. All those new features it touted? Gone. Besides, the snapdragon 600 is more than capable of running a smooth phone even with bloatware. The hardware has surpassed the demands of the software.

That's my point.

The Google Edition costs more right? You can just use CM10 on the S4?

I would get an HTC One if it weren't for the horrible experience I had with my HTC Inspire 4G (no 4G, no software support, broken GPS, battery stopped working altogether after 1 year, volume buttons fell off, horrible WiFi). They already stole enough money from me.

I hate arbitrary statements like "had android". Which phone? Which OS version? Having a droid 2 on gingerbread is a lot different than a flagship phone like the gs4 or HTC one. Night and day.

Out of all the phones I have had, HTC makes the best. I went through 3 Samsung's before calling it quits on them. Never had an issue with my EVO, EVO 3D, EVO 4G LTE, One S or One. Also had GS2 and Samsung Moment. My SO had a Samsung something or other that suuuccckkkeeed.

Point is I still consider Samsung's if they actually make something worth buying at the time.

Or you could provide a viable comparison. Either or would be better.

I am still using galaxy nexus which is almost 2 years old.
I got iphone 5 from my office and gave it to my wife.
Never really like the idea of their exclusivity. lightning cable etc.

I like simple things with Android. I am still using my micro usb cable from my previous android.
Even the charger I am using at home was from my old motorola windows phone.

in the office I will just come to next table and borrow my friend's blackberry charger.
