          when it comes to camera features Samsung Galaxy S5 has put a wider array of features on its new flagship, covering most
          of what the HTC One (M8) can do.
          Zoe is nice but can't carry the M8 alone and despite
          having a whole second camera to help it the shallow
          depth of focus feature is not clearly better than
          Samsung's. It will work better for moving objects, but
          other than that the Galaxy S5 results looked cleaner hence I go with s5

            when it comes to audio quality HTC One (M8). With quality audio hardware,the HTC flagship manages excellent headphone
            output too. The clarity might be only a tad better on
            the One (M8), but combined with the far louder
            output it's enough to make it the definitive winner
            here. I go with htc in this case

              when it comes to loudspeakers HTC One (M8) puts great emphasis on the speakers and it comes as no surprise they
              perform great.
              The Galaxy S5 isn't that much louder than the HTC
              and, due to speaker placement, its loudspeaker isn't
              better at notifying you for incoming calls and
              messages.so I go with the one m8 in this case

                when it comes to app package The HTC One (M8) has
                certain hardware advantages, which help it in the
                media player department, but Samsung's app package
                is richer out of the box. The S Health app is amazing
                too.
                The HTC One (M8) has an FM radio for those who still
                haven't made the switch to Internet streaming. You
                might be switching its music and video players
                because they lack some needed features and the
                Fitbit app is non-exclusive, which hurt HTC's case
                here. I steal prefer s5 in this case of app package

                  when it comes to performance the Samsung Galaxy S5 is Having a bit more CPU oomph, which in turned boosted web performance,
                  give this victory to the S5.
                  It's a narrow victory as the One (M8) held its own in
                  3D gaming and is still one of the fastest phones so the s5 is better when it comes to performance

                    When it comes to the interface Samsung Galaxy S5 has The extra security and
                    privacy offered by the fingerprint scanner are great
                    and we like having Multi Window even if it won't see
                    too much use for many of the users.
                    Sense 6 on HTC One (M8) is beautiful and matches
                    most of the TouchWiz features, but still has some
                    catching up to do. Samsung galaxy s5 takes it for interface

                      For battery Samsung Galaxy S5. This was very close indeed, the Galaxy S5 never really outlasted he HTC One (M8) by more than an hour. That's still more than nothing and the replaceable battery will be helpful for those who don't mind carryinga spare. In some regions the Galaxy S5 has wireless charging, in others a wireless charging back cover is an optional accessory.To be fair, most people don't have a spare battery and very few use wireless charging. The battery life of the HTC One (M8) by itself is very good – almost as good as that of the Galaxy S5. For the battery the s5 takes it

                        Samsung Galaxy S5. Better sunlight legibility is the biggest contributor for the win, but details like more surface area, perfect contrast and colors, the sensitivity start to pile up quick.The HTC One (M8) certainly has a great display, let down in this head to head comparison mostly by its relatively higher reflectivity. s5 takes it when it comes to display

                            I was getting a second hand Samsung S4 yesterday but had a play with one and now ordered a S5 which is on the way ..I had to order online as our Carphone Warehouse has been out of stock most of the time trying to keep up with orders,,then folk are pre ordering so stock coming in goes to them..They had some blue in but I wanted white.Either S5 is selling well or there is limited stock or our Carphone Warehouse is just not getting enough stock in.

                              Tcool, 07 May 2014I am not using the phone mobile data Internet. I connect it to: -Huawei 4G mobile WiFi when ... moreAre you in UK?

                              Our 4g is just around big citys and way off big coverage..Some folk are using a MI-FI connected to the Three network to get decent speeds even tho only HSDPA+ some are getting 20Mb/s download from the MIFI..I am on Three network HSDPA+ but get maximum of 5 Mb/s download in my town...

                              What I am getting at is UK is small island and fairly rich yet compared to some poorer countrys we are miles behind in speed and network coverage,,although they say they have 98% coverage there are thousands of areas with NO signal,nothing..Since using CSD then HSCSD back in 2001 speeds where I live have been pitifull so I am looking forward to 4G..

                              We should have 4G by end of year where I am but will believe when I see it..The thing is that Three UK are getting better speeds on HSDPA+ than 4G speeds on other networks in most places which is bad news..

                                Tcool, 08 May 2014Yes but the S-view cover for S5 has a faux leather looks and feel.Actually the Note 3 and S5 Back cover is still plastic, thou it was moulded to look like leather. Now the S5 S-View case is faux leather material with actual stitching along the edges. Compare with Glossy S4 back cover, S5 back Cover look's like a big "Band Aid". Which is ok because it has a better grip.

                                  Good luck!

Am an iPhone user since 2007, when my boss gave my an S4 last year i kinda like it because its very different from iPhone. So i use my S4 for work stuff and iPhone for personal use. Then i decided to get S5 two weeks ago, I still use my iPhone as my personal use. They are two Very nice and Very different phones.
