I hope to sell it in the next month. If upcoming iPhone 6 impresses me, I will buy it and use it as my primary phone. If it's unable to impress me, I will wait for the next year HTC or Samsung flagship phone or new Xperia Z3.

    You just mentioned it earlier. All those hassles.

            Your phone battery will not get low always at the same time of the day. For sure the time varies.

            So how come throughout the time variations you rarely get a call just while charging? Your phone is smart!

                            I think it's little hassle everytime you will charge the other phone you have to enable the divert and disable on the other phone and vice versa.

                            I go to more comfortable, just simply changing the battery, no need for lots of diverting set ups and bringing heavy portable chargers always.

                            One smartphone and a light small extra battery in my pocket gives me lot of comfort and without the hassles of set ups here and there.

I don't need much the removable battery option. I already have pocket chargers for both of them. I use them when I'm traveling long trips.

                              Yeah, removable battery is easy, the only thing you have to do is just remove the dead battery and put the spare battery. However, I can manage it.

                              Finally, if HTC One E8 impresses me, I will buy it after selling my metal HTC M8. I hope Samsung's next Galaxy flagship phone will impress me.

                                And metals have higher ability to electrocute anyone.

                                I prefer less danger, plastic.

                                By the way, S5 have option to change the battery.
                                No need to charge it, just change the battery with extra one and you can continue to use it for calling, messaging and browsing while the other battery is charging on the cradle. You will not miss important or emergency calls and the danger of using it while charging is eliminated.

                                  They are both dangerous.
                                  So the material doesn't matter.

                                  What matters now is the design.
                                  S5 design is not bad.
                                  In fact it is more ergonomic to hold than other smartphones.

                                      Everyone recommends don't answers to a call while charging your phone. It doesn't matter whether your phone is metal or plastic.

                                      There is a huge probability me to buy the HTC One E8.

If HTC One E8 better than my metal HTC One M8, I may buy it. All I need great built quality as HTC, Lumia or Apple device. Similarly, I need to Samsung to optimise their Touchwiz performance. If they achieved those two factors, I will buy a Samsung phone. All I need a phone with great built quality (this doesn't mean always metal) and super smooth user experience.
