Posted April 8, 2014 Both phones are coming out this month, and I need to know, which is better? I like Samsung's fingerprint scanner, something the HTC One doesn't have, but it does have dual flash and dual rear cameras. Both i believe have 16 MP cameras. Which should I get? Also, which one is cheaper?

Posted April 8, 2014 Author Wow, the M8 seems to be the obvious winner. What's wrong with the S5?

Posted April 8, 2014 Why not One Plus One? Between those two I would say M8. because it was between those 2 devices. Plus a lot of american users don't use AT&T or T-Mobile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted April 8, 2014 Author because it was between those 2 devices. Plus a lot of american users don't use AT&T or T-Mobile Also, not really Sprint, but Verizon has the largest 4G LTE network.

Posted April 8, 2014 The fingerprint scanner is a cheap gimmic, The M8 has a much nicer camera (lower MegaPixels, but they're ultrapixels.) The camera is nifty on the M8 The speed is essentially the same. The speakers on the M8 are AMAZING (they're even better than the M7 [Last HTC One] ) "The Amazing New HTC One (M8)" gets my vote.

Posted April 8, 2014 I'm going to be the first to say S5 because water proof is a must for me.

Posted April 8, 2014 IMO the build quality and looks of the M8 alone make it far better than S5 since they're fairly similar in spec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted April 8, 2014 The M8's camera is a 4MP ultra pixel camera. It's certainly not the next camera out of these two, but it seems adequate for normal, casual use. Otherwise, the M8 seems to be superior to the S5 in most ways. If you can live without the fingerprint sensor, then the M8 is a much better choice CPU: Intel Core i7 6700K RAM: 16GB G.Skill Trident Z @ 3200Mhz GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080ti MoBo: MSI Z170 Krait Gaming 3X Cooler: NZXT Kraken X52 Case: Corsair Obsidian 450D HDD/SSD: (Boot) Intel 750 Series 400GB, (Games) Samsung 850 EVO 500GB, (Data) Samsung 850 EVO 500GB PSU: Silverstone Strider Plus 750W Keyboard: CM Masterkeys Pro L w/ Cherry MX Blues Mouse: Logitech G900 Monitor: Acer X34 Predator @ 100hz Phone(s): Samsung Galaxy S8+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted April 8, 2014 Will you be rooting/roming your phone? If you are in my experience samsung tends to be easier, atleast it was very easy on my old s3 compared to my current lg g2, and my very old htc evo design. If you aren't i suggest the m8, i hate the look and feel of touchwiz and would never touch a stock samsung phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted April 8, 2014 I'd go with the M8 just because of the better build quality. Solid aluminum is way more sturdy than Samsung's cheap, flimsy plastic.
