I hate to admit it but it's time to abandon HTC this brand just ain't that cool anymore. I am defecting to the dark side and going for the z2! If Darth Vader was to have a smartphone it Would be the z2

I haven't used S4 or G2, but my brother in law has xperia Z1 13 MP CAM and believe me my HTC One takes far superrior pictures eve if they are lower resolution. I don't plan printing them on bilboards! Yes more ultra pixels would have been better, but i guess next year. If M8 have improvement over the M7 in camera quality, upgrade will be well worth. 4 mp is quite enough for everyday casual camera especialy seeing the samples in yor review.

Anonymous, 25 Mar 2014Your comments on 4K recording on a smart phone are somewhat... moreI completely agree with you on 4k video recording. It is just unnecessary in 2014. In 2016, it may be relevant, not just now. However I completely disagree with you on image size. If people buying a flagship don't care about camera, HTC One (M7) should have sold well, right? It didn't. What was the reason? Lousy camera was one of the most important reasons, wasn't it?

Ooo.... HTC
Now 2 min silence for all those who said xperia z2 had huge bezels....
HTC One 2014 = 5" display n totol height = 5.76"
Sony Xperia Z2 = 5.2" display n total height = 5.78"
Xperia Z2 even has larger sensor & is waterproof..
So where are bezel trollers now...???
But HTC on a serious note could've done better but still what would you expect more from it...?
Anyway going for Z2

MdN8, 25 Mar 2014Come on. Not even people who work for HTC believe that. Do ... moreThe HTC One (M8) audio quality is by far the best we've seen a mobile device produce so far - and that's including tablets. Even its impressive predecessor pales in comparison with the latest HTC flagship, which is not only the loudest around, but also delivers perfectly clean output.
The HTC One (M8) did perfectly in the active external amplifier part of the test, posting great scores all over the field. In addition it had volume levels higher than every other mobile device on the market right now.
More impressively, there's virtually no degradation when you plug in a pair of headphones. The stereo crosstalk rises so little that it remains better than what some smartphones deliver without headphones. The rest of the readings remain perfect too, while the volume is as high as they come. What do you know - dropping the Beats logo actually led to even more spectacular performance by the HTC flagship.

As expected rubbish camera. Comparing the improvement of one rubbish over another is a silly technicality. End result is still rubbish compared to what is available mainstream let alone flagship class.

HTC evolved enough to put a expandable memory on their flagman, but failed miserably to deliver better camera. They are clever enough though, to produce some attractive middle-rangers. Hope that will safe them from their competitors.

More and more megapixels don't have any adventage on a phone and its just a Gimmick things. Only matter the Quality of that pixeles, do you see the superb photos in the review???.. The best phone today overall by far. The rest are pure crap and marketing things.

What would you prefer right now? The HTC M8 or the LG G2.
I'm going to buy any of them this week and I would appreciate your opinion.
Thanks
