AnonD-18602, 31 Jul 2014Thanks... But I heard GS5 is using new Exynos which is good... moreNo, the new Exynos is not something that it can change your view towards TouchWiz or S5 for that matter, nor I believe to optimize a framework (or Android skin) you need an insane CPU or GPU. It will only take effect when you are playing some graphically intensive games, or running benchmarks. Do you do those things often? Then you can go for the Exynos model. If gaming is a priority then I think Exynos model is actually better than the Snapdragon version. Can't really confirm, I never think about "gaming" when I purchase a phone, so you might wanna check with others.
Battery life was "excellent" for the short period of time I used it, the best backup I have got from any phone so far. I got 6+ hours of screen on time almost always, once it crossed 7 hours actually. Charging is fast too, should be done in 120 minutes from full drain to 100%.

Thanks... But I heard GS5 is using new Exynos which is good in terms of performance compared to older ones. Is it true? And how's the battery? How much time it is taking to recharge?
I know i'm asking too much. But I badly need the info.

Quantic, 31 Jul 2014I'm looking to upgrade from a S3, my options are HTC One (M... moreS5 over G3 : Because of the display. No IPS is made yet which can outperform S5's S-AMOLED, period.
S5 over G3 : For daylight images. For night time, no comments. They are almost identical IMHO, but for low light shots G3 will have the advantage.
S5 over G3 : If you plan to use the phone with hands, then S5 is noticeable smaller than the G3. However the curved back of the G3 is nice.
S5 over G3 : FAR better build quality.
S5 over G3 : IP67. If that matters to you though.
That's all. S5 runs of TouchWiz, G3 doesn't. However as I have never used any LG phones before won't comment on the performance of LG's UI, but if reviews are correct then it's a good UI, moreover nothing can be worse than TouchWiz.
I personally will pick the S5, as long as I get pure Android on it. I just don't get the fuss behind G3. QHD display? Really? How on earth can one notice any difference from a FHD to QHD display? As long as biology and human eyes exist it's meaningless. G3 is a good phone, but it's WAY over-hyped.
M8 : Brilliant phone, awesome construction. But you know 4 MP camera, well it's not just enough. Also metal chassis will degrade GPS signal reception (inside espeically). Otherwise, a good phone, Sense is fantastic.
If you can digest TouchWiz then definitely go for S5. If you can't, then out of G3 and M8, well I think I will go for M8.

AnonD-18602, 31 Jul 2014Been using GS3(Exynos version) for more than 1 year and I'm... moreE8 all the way. If you don't like the lags on the S3, then S5 is nothing different. It's same TouchWiz, with a new look.
Would have recommended the G2, but it has awful build quality, so no.
