    AnonD-224578, 08 May 2014Actually the Note 3 and S5 Back cover is still plastic, tho... moreThat "band aid" back cover will be replaced with a leather faux back once you put the S-view cover and it will look more appealing without sacrificing the water resistant property.

      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

                        I was getting a second hand Samsung S4 yesterday but had a play with one and now ordered a S5 which is on the way ..I had to order online as our Carphone Warehouse has been out of stock most of the time trying to keep up with orders,,then folk are pre ordering so stock coming in goes to them..They had some blue in but I wanted white.Either S5 is selling well or there is limited stock or our Carphone Warehouse is just not getting enough stock in.

                          Our 4g is just around big citys and way off big coverage..Some folk are using a MI-FI connected to the Three network to get decent speeds even tho only HSDPA+ some are getting 20Mb/s download from the MIFI..I am on Three network HSDPA+ but get maximum of 5 Mb/s download in my town...

                          What I am getting at is UK is small island and fairly rich yet compared to some poorer countrys we are miles behind in speed and network coverage,,although they say they have 98% coverage there are thousands of areas with NO signal,nothing..Since using CSD then HSCSD back in 2001 speeds where I live have been pitifull so I am looking forward to 4G..

                          We should have 4G by end of year where I am but will believe when I see it..The thing is that Three UK are getting better speeds on HSDPA+ than 4G speeds on other networks in most places which is bad news..

                            Tcool, 08 May 2014Yes but the S-view cover for S5 has a faux leather looks an... moreActually the Note 3 and S5 Back cover is still plastic, thou it was moulded to look like leather. Now the S5 S-View case is faux leather material with actual stitching along the edges. Compare with Glossy S4 back cover, S5 back Cover look's like a big "Band Aid". Which is ok because it has a better grip.

                              Good luck!

Am an iPhone user since 2007, when my boss gave my an S4 last year i kinda like it because its very different from iPhone. So i use my S4 for work stuff and iPhone for personal use. Then i decided to get S5 two weeks ago, I still use my iPhone as my personal use. They are two Very nice and Very different phones.
