On the other hand both the One and the GS4 include Jelly Bean; 4.1.2 for the One and 4.2.2 for the GS4. These devices do not differ as much as they do in hardware, but they include some cool features.

The LG Optimus G, has the QSlide, which is the capability of performing multiple tasks at once, QuickMemo allows you to write notes on top of your photos and personalize them, and finally Wise Ringtone that recognizes the ambient noise and adapts the ringtone volume to it.

rge speakers with built-in amplifiers which will be louder, clearer and sharper.

 The Galaxy S4 features very cool implementations, like Air Gestures, allowing you to make gestures and giving certain commands to your device without touching the screen.
