I'm due a new phone in a month or two and will probably be going for a HTC One or Samsung Galaxy s4.

Is it possible to use a torrent app to download movies/tv series etc and then play it using the phone via a hdmi cable to a TV in either SD/HD?
Under the impression that with an Android phone (app permiting) I would be able to pretty much do most stuff I can do on a PC, apart from gaming (although there are good mobile games) with the ability to output to my TV. Internet browsing, torrents, films, music and streams.
