It makes no sense to scale photos in a comparison.
The HTC Ones camera is a big reason a lot of people skip over it. To most people these days their phone is their only camera.

Design & build quality: Tie? Now I wonder why they have not made so many phones with leather back. You will hear S4 users screaming in horror after some months have passed.
Battery: What is the point of having a replaceable battery when cheap powerbanks have been invented? Does it mean that having replaceable means having known inferior battery quality?

M8 > S5 - speaker sound
S5 > M8 - everything else
Everyone's preferences vary but I have a feeling sales figures will reflect these realities.

S5 best
Display
At M8 quality even worse than the 8
Cool backlight Z2, expanding the color gamut and "improves the shades",
actually distorts the color because all the images are designed for
standard sRGB and an extension will only be in the negative.
Amoled gradually improved and now he has lost almost all the shortcomings, there was only slight, noticeable only during the rapid motion of the screen (in front of screen) "modulation" at low brightness at maximum (it is comfortable in all conditions) this "modulation" No, I do not know why samsung does so in LG G Flex is no such (there is also amoled)
In OLED (Amoled) white whiter IPS, faster response in comparison to LCD
(hundreds of times better than LCD), contrast and black level is perfect
(hundreds of times better than LCD), colors
do not mix with each other,, ideal viewing angles.
Oversaturated color and blue gray like in tests of arena and anand removed using a cinema mode
Camera
S5 1/2.6 isocell phase autofocus 6 lenses
z2 1/2.3 bsi 5 lenses
one 1/3 bsi 4 lenses
At S5 even crude firmware (new sensor) better color, detail and less noise
The rest of at the final firmware is very bad, especially in HTC
Waterproof
S5 ip x6
Z2 ip x7
one ip x3
Bezels
S5 is more or less thin bezels
Z2 more or less thin bezels
one big bezels
Performance
S5 2048 MB RAM (Dual-channel) LPDDR3
Z2 3072 MB RAM (Dual-channel) LPDDR3
M8 2048 MB RAM DDR2
Body
Metal is bad for the connection know about it all in the industry, aluminum is not a premium material, it is used for beer cans. At s5 soft touch texture like nexus7 instead of glossy plastic s4

Marorun, 17 Apr 2014Nice way of seeing thing. For Camera i would put a Tie. ... moreHTC fanboys are getting creative with their excuse... Seriously Camera is a tie because selfie cam is better on HTC one? Hahaha since when was front facing camera important to you? Why all of a sudden you included selfie cam NOW but never before? You truly are a Samsung hater.

Marorun, 17 Apr 2014Just so you know..
Beside the 2.3 vs 2.5 both chipset ar... moreI've read all your comments and yes, I agree to all of them. But, that's all your opinion and how you need m8.
My opinions were neutral as I don't want any of the device.
I would like to clear some things up:
S5 is not vulnerable to dying when it falls. I have seen lots of drop tests and this thing even survives when run over by an SUV and tesla. So your friend must be severely unlucky to get a defective piece.
The material is not that bad. Yes, the m8 is much better in look and feel but s5 feels good in hand.
Regarding the processor thing. Yes, you can run m8 at full clock for games but that will generate a lot of problems. See s5 has 801ac while one has 801ab. The 801ac can run at 2.3 GHz consuming lesser power than 801ab at 2.3 gHz. Continuing the highest clock takes the toll on processor and the phone is vulnerable to overheating and even throttling, battery drain is unavoidable. I don't think I'll enjoy the game on a frying pan. So, you like it or not, s5 is better in that department. And regarding conduction, S5 is thinner than m8 and if you know, galaxy phones have a heat dissipation region near camera at the back. A metal sticks out from chip to near the battery and then it only has to cover the small back through which heat can travel easily.
Also , I have no concern on these 2 as in my country, the exynos 5422 s5 is gonna be released. That beast has 25% more powerful CPU than these 2.
Regarding the camera, I know it doesn't matter to you, but it does too 99% of users. And many people don't carry their SLRs everywhere. Say there is a sudden development of a party or trip. Also, your SLR can't capture 4K video. And rear camera is much more important than front one. One seldom uses front cam.
I am not convincing you to buy s5. Instead I am advicing you to buy m8. But don't give excuses here for one's weakness. Excuse can be given for anything. Both are good devices and it depends from person to person. Like you prefer m8, anyone else can prefer s5. Don't impose your decision on others, let them choose with a free mind.
Have a nice day

[deleted post]Thanks for a reply. Since I also watch a lot of anime as my pastime of choice it is good to know that even modern mobile CPU-s can't handle it. On the other hand no GPU in the world is capable of decoding 10-bit video so all of that is done by CPU, even on desktops. It does show you just how weak these ARM CPU-s are since my laptop plays anything and everything 10-bit with loads under 30-40%, and it is a dual core processor from 2010.

Tried s5 yesterday and still lack. Samsung is still famous with fake test and announcement . Who believe samsung after what happen on apple trial? Still wait seconds for open phone keyboard and book. Maybe with 4GB CPU and 8 GB ram could be as fast as other.
