Nexus 5 is a bad choice too.It has non removeable battery,get hot,some bugs like not showing notifications and calls.

Galaxy tab pro 8.4 has a leather back.Samsung galaxy s4 has better features than nexus 5.Did you really touched samsung phones or just heard some bad expiriences?

Is speak from the experience of owning a samsung. The S4, if you install cyanogen mod isn't too bad, but the build materials IMO leaves something to be desired. Also non removable batteries aren't bad, HTC have non removable batteries in their phones and there's no issue with that, I even own one now. The galaxy tab pro 8.4 is a tablet, not a phone, with the ability to buy a cellular version so you can surf the internet whilst not in a wifi range. And the back is not leather, it's plastic made to look like leather. If you're set on getting a samsung, then at least get an S4, but I would still go for a LG G2 as someone else recommended or a nexus 5.

Can't take the risk.

Oneplus One is a better build phone than anything from samsung. I trust them more than samsungs fire catching crap.

Isn't that a tablet?

For that price point, as has been pointed out, the Nexus 5 is the best bet. Nexus has the same size screen as the HTC one M8, as well as the same resolution screen. Also, don't touch samsung. Awful plastic phones, I should know from experience, an awful UI in touchwiz that is bloated, slow and poorly laid out. HTC are good, but for the price point you're asking for there are better options.

galaxy tab pro isn't even a phone. Nexus 5's are better phones in general.

Short answer. No. 

less short answer: it's 8.4 inches thats not a phone it's a tablet and you'd probably need to have a bag to carry it around in.

Accidently liked.

Anyway, how could you like Samsung phones? They are the Last phones you should buy in Android because of Touchwiz and cheap plastic build.

HTC is good, but not really anything worthwhile in that price point.

I guess if you REALLY ONLY want those brands you could go for a HTC One M7. But...

You know, I like Samsung phones too, touchwiz is not total rubbish, its usable, I would take it over a HTC any day, but since LG and Oppo exist, rather take them

It is usable, but slow. Combined with their cheap plastic it's  just a big nono for me.

Don't get a samsung, you'll regret it and you can't get quality from samsung, get a Desire 500 if you're into HTC or a One M7.If you want something high en for cheap, get the 64gb version of OnePlus One for $350

It's not a bug, it's an undocumented feature!

Quality? You mean how Samsung phones don't break as easily as the metal phones? There is a phone repair shop next to my store and Samsung are the least broken phones.. Talk about quality. That's why only Samsung have graced my hands over the years.

Every single phone from samsung that I have held in the hand was flimsy,, especially the galaxy s3, the back cover on that thing is really bad,  my friend has a gs3 and a note 2 and his note 2's screen has been cracked for almost a year now, also their so called "smart flip covers" are really expensive and overpriced for what they are(you can buy some nice headphones for that price).And their user interface is really, really bad, my dad had 3 galaxy s2's and he changed the rom immediately after getting them(he didn't get them all at once though, he got one, sold it,got another phone, then another gs2,another phone and then a gs2, he only liked the fact that it was like a square, kind of).

It's not a bug, it's an undocumented feature!
