      It's like commenters don't realize that most/all manufacturers release sales channel marketing materials like this. I remember when Samsung was trying to climb back into the high-end smartphone relevance after Apple stole their lunch money - same sort of crap about then Galaxies vs iPhones.

          well. they both suck
          i got htc m7 and would never repeat the same mistake again. i got a damaged camera sensor which was not so great when it was not damaged anyway
          the whole body is made of aluminum which makes it like hot lava if i am navigating or doing something thats heavy task.\
          and i would never buy a piece of plastic like samsung
          I am going with sony x z2 this time

            Hahahahaha, funny though, here in my country Pakistan, Samsung is providing the same warranty service as HTC Advantage ( point no.6) and that too for 1 year, not only 6 months. So, get out HTC

              AnonD-59657, 13 Apr 2014There are many reasons why I don't choose either Galaxy S5 ... moreThe whole detail is lack of information.
              Instead Amoled is best in world .. touchwiz is best. The battery backpanel is better option too for convinience and for change of body by just a back panel..battery replacement if needed and alot more . And off screen buttons are best..and thus even apple choose not to leave that. And it never mall functioned any device i used till now. The post was just immature . Just have a deeper knowledge about the best.. before commenting on there mainly special feature ,from which no one has problem except you.. beacuse if you had the prob which no one else have. Than surely you are a hardcore htc fan

                Do extra research before blurting nonsense.

                Front glass is made by Asahi Co. Dragontrail glass, which is comparable with Gorilla Glass 3.

                While the back side glass is from Corning Gorilla Glass.

                  Only reason I will not buy Samsung is that they always launch their exynos version devices in my area and compare that with the snapdragon version there are performance issues with the exynos ones. They are slow and freeze a lot. The build ia another thing though.

                      i use samsung tab 3 tablet. but it crashes few times every day and many times extremely slow. if you put a tablet to market, then u should use proper hardware to prevent crashing. if not, then just dont sell it. thats why , my next smartphone will be non-Samsung. I wanna give to HTC, or LG G2 a run.

                                From the article:
                                "One is really a pleasure to handle and definitely feels better than the S5 in your hand."

                                Are serious, or just brutally lying for some "reasons"?

                                    There are many reasons why I don't choose either Galaxy S5 or Xperia Z2:


                                    A) Galaxy S5:
                                    - Made of cheap plastic but charged premium price (S5)

                                    - Removal battery and back cover make the devices look "cheap" (S5)

                                    - Packed with many not so useful and impractical features that potentially cause device to hang (S5)

                                    - Touchwiz UI is heavily customized and poorly made and far away from the original Google stock Android experience (S5)


                                    - SuperAmoled screen suffers yellow hue and un-natural color (S5)

                                    - Still come with physical home button that potentially malfunction just like what happened to many cases in iPhone (S5)

                                    - Never improve the speaker since S1! It has a small speaker that you can't hear the sound loud (S5).

                                    B)Xperia Z2:(Note: Z2 is still much better than S5)

                                    - The body is too squarish with sharp edges (Z2)

                                    - The screen suffers from yellow hue and dull, and lesser resolution (Z2-424ppi vs M8-441ppi)

                                    - It did not use world acclaimed Corning Gorilla Glass 3 instead with normal glass (Z2)

                                    - The speaker is still inferior comparing to M8.

                                    If Sony can improve the above mentioned issues, it may make Z2 more competitive!

Also Oppo is a Chinese company and their Find 5 was one of the most durable phone with steel frame. I can probably guess many other electronic items you current have is made in china as well.
