| Amazon drops HTC One price to $79.99 in honor of Father’s Day Posted: 13 Jun 2013 10:10 AM PDT Most everyone seems to agree that the HTC One is the best smartphone money can buy. But what if you could buy it with half as much money? Tomorrow, Amazon will host a one-day Father’s Day HTC One sale, cuting the price of the device to a mere $79.99 (if you’re willing to sign a new contract with Sprint or AT&T). Those looking to renew their plans with either of the carriers are treated to a $99.99 price – half of what you’d pay if you walked into a Sprint or AT&T store to purchase the phone. If the HTC One is not your cup of tea, there’s always the Samsung Galaxy S4, which is listed on Amazon with a $168 price tag. AT&T HTC One (New AT&T Customers: $79.99, Upgrading Customers: $99.99) Sprint HTC One (New Sprint Customers: $79.99, Upgrading Customers: $99.99)

| Samsung Galaxy S4 stress test video shows how durable the device really is Posted: 13 Jun 2013 09:18 AM PDT When we think of device durability, our minds immediately turn to those gruesome drop tests scattered across YouTube. The video makers hope their unscientific test will show consumers how durable a phone is by dropping it from several different heights. While the videos can be entertaining, they really don’t give us a lot of information. Fortunately, manufacturers go through a myriad of tests before a phone is released to make sure it lives up to quality standards. The choice of construction material for the Samsung Galaxy S4 may not be as high-end as that found in the HTC One, but the video below shows that you don’t necessarily need a metal chassis to survive drop, impact, heat, pressure, dust and water tests. What’s your take? Would you rather have premium construction materials, which may scratch and dent more easily, or a plastic build that can stand up to the random acts of torture we subject our smartphones to on a daily basis?
