                        You cant compare Touchwiz with Sense 6.sense is a premium thing...once you use it you stick to it
                        probably the best feature of HTC.

                            since it's only 0.1" bigger than the S4's screen which is only 2% bigger then why the whole body gone 10% bigger ?
                            the battery is not an excuse by the way :)

                              'Recommended apps' isn't a new feature. Had it on my GNote N7000.

Heart rate sensor and all that bs might be useful to some of the most gullible people but that ain't a deal breaker for me. Ugly design surely is.

                                  I'm a good music fan and at the same time a camera geek, I think the htc one m8 and s5 tie, i don't see use of 4k video recording and at the same time the heart beat sensor,samsung should focus on issues that value the large number of youth smartphone owners, i even honestly think no one will ever use the s health app back here in Africa and to those beefing htc, what that camera guru from htc said was a chunk true, we almost use the 90% photos on our phones for social networking and viewing pleasure on our phones. Htc the way to go, I don't hate samsung but am just honest...

                                    I own a Galaxy S4, a reliable but horrible looking and feeling device. Had high hopes for S5, but sadly, it suffers from more of the same. Fiddled with it the other day and it feels disgusting and cheap. Camera still appears to suffer from slow shutter causing blur as in the S4. HTC m8 and Z2 are definitely better bang for buck devices

                                      Epic fail, S5 the same boring thing. by the way, sense 6 is much smoother, faster and nicer then touchwiz, which is more a kind of bloatware. if htc m8 had used a decent camera and not the 4 mp shit and a edge to edge design then it would had been "the thing"

                                        Samsung mobile are the best in marketing, but in fact their devices are really bad according my experience and my colleagues too.
                                        Actually after I try the LG G2 I was surprised that I never knew that there is good devices in the market like this in term of battery life is amazing speed and photos are superb and you will thank me very very much for this advise.
                                        This is only a personnel advice according to my experience and my friends in S4 and note 2 devices so don’t spent your money in the air.
