The note 4 is better at most things, but has worse software and bigger bezels. The g3 is also more customizeable.

Not horrid, it's better than most HTC phones, but it isn't great.

So? It will get people who are generally more informed and will give accurate information if you put it in the right section. More answers isn't better, a flood of wrong answers is worse than a stream of good ones.

It's not that bad. I've had many HTCs and they're all pretty horrible in battery life, but the M8 will last you though a day no problem.

Hmm..I'm an extremely heavy user and thought having a spare batt is useful haha
