Given that the Samsung Galaxy S4 is about to hit the market, and the HTC One is already attracting a lot of attention, we want to know which phone will make it as the must-have for 2013 so far. We’ve reviewed the HTC One (you can read the review here, we thought it was great) but not yet the Galaxy S4, as we’ve not yet got a review unit, but we will soon.

However, there’s plenty known about each phone, and in our experience, the decision made on purchasing one over the other is not made based on how the device works, it’s how the specs look and whether it’ll make you stand up and pay attention.

We’ve set out the specs of each of these flagships below, and while we’ve highlighted the more impressive specs, we want your vote — which is the flagship of 2013?

So, give us your vote. We’ll leave this open for awhile to measure as many people’s opinions as we can, but we want to know — which one takes the crown in your opinion?

Also, stay tuned, because I have a sneaking feeling that Ausdroid might be giving away one of these beasts to one lucky reader. Alternatively, we might be giving away one of each! Stay tuned!
