Samsung Galaxy S5 vs. HTC One (M8): Leather and steel

17 April 2014
HTC has made some of the best-looking smartphones in recent history while Samsung has some of the best-selling ones. That’s very much true for the HTC flagship and yet to be seen about the Samsung Galaxy S5, but the clash is no less...

    Will all that being said. I have done research on many makes and models. So far, Samsung is the only one that give a great warrenty on there phones if your screen breaks or gets water damage. They come to you to repair or replace on the spot. No other makers do that, not in South Africa anyway

                  However they all would have certain areas of winning.
                  And it would be awesome to see and maybe get some surprises.

                        Therefore I don’t recommend any body to buy Samsung mobile there is a lot of other brands 100 times better than Samsung mobile like HTC one LG G2 Xperia Z2.
                        Samsung are good in markeeting only that's why they have good sales they are fooling people in their adv. but quality is Zero.

                          lets face it everyone, you can troll on here all you like about what phone does what best etc but what it all comes down to is which handset has the highest sales figures as that is what really counts towards being the best. both handsets have good and bad aspects. let people make their own opinions on the handsets and respect their opinion. everyone is entitled to one. let them make the choice of what to buy and they will choice whats best. all the trolls stop bashing and put something constructive or valuable on here rather than the utter rubbish that most of these comments are. thanks!

                                Touchwiz is a laggy hulk of a thing that only gets worse with time. Not to mention it is hideously ugly. The only saving grace for Samsung phones is AOSP custom roms.

                                    Display: HTC, no contest. The S5 has a real green tint to it, which makes me very unhappy.

                                    And - it is H U G E, for a phone. Definitely hold one before you buy one.

                                    As soon as I can get the wireless charging back for it - I will.

                                    Build quality - my HTC everytime. It is a beauty to behold in the hand.
