    I think it's not the specifications will be the problem here but the benefits of the unit...

      Anonymous, 08 May 2014Anyone upgraded from S4 to S5 because i want know if screen... moreI did.

      Look my sunlight experience a few pages back (the 5th), but to sum up, i don't know any match to S5's screen under sunlight, it's the best phone i have used under sun.

      And colors can be accurate as you wish under the mode which fits your needs and tastes in display settings.

        The design of this device flopped so much to the extend it changed the head of designs at Samsung. Guess we'll be seeing a better design from Samsung in the future.

            The Samsung Galaxy S5 is very innovated, smooth and a fast phone. It has everything that a flagship device needs to have. Compared the HTC M8 and the iPhone 5S, the phone is better overall in terms of specifications and functionality. However, Samsung really needs to get rid of the plastic finish on its devices. The iPhone 5S compared to the Samsung Galaxy S5 has a better and superior feel in the hands. The perforated back gives the phone a good grip but doesnot add much to the fact that it's still plastic. Overall, the phone is simply amazing, and I would chose it over Apple or HTC. The new touchwiz adds to the phone's innovative features. The fingerprint, as people say, is not as accurate as the iPhone 5S'. I agree to that but the fingerprint is still quite accurate and responds almost everytime. Therefore, I'd say Samsung Galaxy S5 is the best smartphone for now and it's worth buying or upgrading!

                          when it comes to camera features Samsung Galaxy S5 has put a wider array of features on its new flagship, covering most
                          of what the HTC One (M8) can do.
                          Zoe is nice but can't carry the M8 alone and despite
                          having a whole second camera to help it the shallow
                          depth of focus feature is not clearly better than
                          Samsung's. It will work better for moving objects, but
                          other than that the Galaxy S5 results looked cleaner hence I go with s5

                            when it comes to audio quality HTC One (M8). With quality audio hardware,the HTC flagship manages excellent headphone
                            output too. The clarity might be only a tad better on
                            the One (M8), but combined with the far louder
                            output it's enough to make it the definitive winner
                            here. I go with htc in this case

                              when it comes to loudspeakers HTC One (M8) puts great emphasis on the speakers and it comes as no surprise they
                              perform great.
                              The Galaxy S5 isn't that much louder than the HTC
                              and, due to speaker placement, its loudspeaker isn't
                              better at notifying you for incoming calls and
                              messages.so I go with the one m8 in this case

                                when it comes to app package The HTC One (M8) has
                                certain hardware advantages, which help it in the
                                media player department, but Samsung's app package
                                is richer out of the box. The S Health app is amazing
                                too.
                                The HTC One (M8) has an FM radio for those who still
                                haven't made the switch to Internet streaming. You
                                might be switching its music and video players
                                because they lack some needed features and the
                                Fitbit app is non-exclusive, which hurt HTC's case
                                here. I steal prefer s5 in this case of app package

                                  when it comes to performance the Samsung Galaxy S5 is Having a bit more CPU oomph, which in turned boosted web performance,
                                  give this victory to the S5.
                                  It's a narrow victory as the One (M8) held its own in
                                  3D gaming and is still one of the fastest phones so the s5 is better when it comes to performance

                                    When it comes to the interface Samsung Galaxy S5 has The extra security and
                                    privacy offered by the fingerprint scanner are great
                                    and we like having Multi Window even if it won't see
                                    too much use for many of the users.
                                    Sense 6 on HTC One (M8) is beautiful and matches
                                    most of the TouchWiz features, but still has some
                                    catching up to do. Samsung galaxy s5 takes it for interface

                                      For battery Samsung Galaxy S5. This was very close indeed, the Galaxy S5 never really outlasted he HTC One (M8) by more than an hour. That's still more than nothing and the replaceable battery will be helpful for those who don't mind carryinga spare. In some regions the Galaxy S5 has wireless charging, in others a wireless charging back cover is an optional accessory.To be fair, most people don't have a spare battery and very few use wireless charging. The battery life of the HTC One (M8) by itself is very good – almost as good as that of the Galaxy S5. For the battery the s5 takes it

                                        Samsung Galaxy S5. Better sunlight legibility is the biggest contributor for the win, but details like more surface area, perfect contrast and colors, the sensitivity start to pile up quick.The HTC One (M8) certainly has a great display, let down in this head to head comparison mostly by its relatively higher reflectivity. s5 takes it when it comes to display
