I just upgraded to the HTC One M8 and love it! I’m not a fan of plastic phones and that’s always been a turn-off for me with the Galaxy models. The design is excellent. My biggest frustration with smartphones has been the poor battery life. It seemed I was always charging my old Nexus 4 and it was quite frustrating. Sunday, I hiked Mission Peak in Fremont. It took three hours and I listened to music the whole way, while running GPS (Map My Walk). I also snapped photos at the top. By the time I got back to my car, I still had 78% battery remaining. My Nexus 4 would’ve been dead.
In addition the Nexus 4 only had 16GB . The HTC came with 32GB and is expandable so I popped in an old 32GB MicroSD card to quadruple my memory. Finally, the HTC is able to use T-Mobile LTE for amazing download speeds (24 MBPS).
Thanks for posting the comparison!
That is my biggest problem with the Galaxy. It just looks and feels cheaper compared to the HTC One.
My biggest problems with the HTC One are the lack of a removable battery and the picture quality is reportedly not as good as the Galaxy.
