Regular or google play edition?

[Charles Carron]

I'm looking to buy an htc one m8. I just can't decide if I should take one with stock android or the google play edition. What are your thoughts on this?

I'd just take stock. Install a custom ROM and launcher and make it your own (: 

 

There's so much you can do with Android that it's almost not worth keeping the stock one.

Whatever is cheaper. You can root the regular M8 and put clean rom on it.

Then why not just get the google play edition ?

Whichever is cheaper, just put CyanogenMod on the one with HTC's skin on if that's your thing.

 

I got a HTC One M7 and flashed CyanogenMod 11 on it the second day I had it. (Now running 4.4.4 BTW)

I feel stock would have a better resale value, as there is a much larger audience for it.

Want to do this with my M7 but I don't trust myself doing it.

Also I'd go with the regular for that reason and I personally like it better over the Google Play Edition.
