HTC One
Samsung S4
137.4 x 68.2 x 9.3mm, 143g, 4.7 inch with LCD3, Gorilla Glass 2
136.6 x 69.8 x 7.9 mm, 130g, 49.9 inch with Super AMOLED HD (Pentile) Gorilla Glass 3
Snapdragon 600 Quadcore @ 1.6Ghz, 2200mAh battery
Snapdragon 600 Quadcore @ 1.9Ghz (NA), 2600mAh battery
After that, most of the things are a wash like camera features and individual pros and cons like front facing speakers for the One and microSD for the S4. It's also a bit impressive to see companies continue to push the envelope on phone size though as usual... A bigger battery would be more important. For another comparison, the Note 2 has these dimensions :
151.1 x 80.5 x 9.4 mm, 183g, 5.5 inch

They just sold an insane number of phones with nearly this same design, why would you expect they would change it drastically?

Can't agree with this enough. Samsung had no reason to change things drastically. The other struggling Android companies do. Judging by how the keynote launch went, we don't want Samsung to be TOO creative...
Edit: looks like Swiftkey is going to come native on the S4.
We are very pleased and proud to say "Yes, SwiftKey software is on the Samsung Galaxy S4" swiftkey.net/en/blog/yes-swiftkey-software-is-on-the-samsung-galaxy-s4/
