I had a choice between the HTC One M7 and the Samsung Galaxy S4... At the time i chose the S4 for its camera, gestures and extra processing power... But now, I'm running an AOSP rom on it and I barely use the gestures anymore (As they aren't in stock android). I would trade this phone for a HTC One M8 easily!
Best thing by far about the HTC One M7and M8 is the build quality.
Take the iPhone for example, you could take 10 iPhone users and i can guarantee at least one of them has a cracked/smashed screen on it... Samsung has the idea that plastic will reduce damage on drops, yeah it does but it doesn't feel anything like as 'high-end' like the One or even the iPhone. But yeah. Build quality is fantastic, might be one of the only phones I'd feel alright about not having a case on it
The speakers... I would say are my second favourite thing. Although Linus said one favourite thing... I can keep typing... They are fantastic BUT i wouldn't use them to their full extent like some people might, I tend not to put phone speakers up too loud (Especially the tiny thing on my S4) as I tend to feel like they would deteriorate in quality over time...
I'll shut up now...
Hi Linus & co.!
