After so much anticipation, the HTC One M8 is finally out and it turns out to be an enhanced HTC One M7. As how the leak revealed it, the M8 runs on the Snapdragon 801 2.3GHz quad-core processor with 2GB RAM.
It has a 5-inch full HD Super LCD display (1080p) with gorilla glass 3 offering 441ppi. There is a choice of 16GB or 32GB internal storage with an expandable microSDXC slot. Almost everything about the HTC One M8 is slightly short of what the Galaxy S5 has got to offer.
On the other hand the already revealed flagship phone from Samsung comes with features like fingerprint scanner and a heartbeat sensor. In every way, the Samsung Galaxy S5 triumph against the HTC One M8 except for the design. There is no arguing that the M8 is a beauty but Samsung Galaxy S5 is the beast.
Specs aside, the HTC One M8 is more efficient compared to the Galaxy S5. The M8 has a full on –screen approach like the Google Nexus 5. Then, there is that ultra-power saving mode which promise 14 days of battery life.
Between the two, the HTC One M8 is clearly the better choice. Specs-wise, Samsung is better but every smartphone today is already fast enough.
On the other hand, there is the Google Nexus 6. This upcoming device is expected to arrive later this year and this is the device to look out for if you want to see a smartphone revolution. The specs are still unknown but expect them to be something else.
If there is something the M8 and Galaxy S5 failed to do is offering something ‘new’ to the world. We look forward to Google Nexus 6 in the near future.
