I really want to get that Dot View case for the HTC One, but I don't want to cover up the sexyness. The S5 is a good phone, but you'll probably want to get a case to hide it from the world and protect it's fragile body.

I have been a Samsung owner ( S, S2, S3, S4 ) for the longest time but originally started out with an HTC Hero. I saw your video this morning and had to go check out each phone at Future Shop by my home. I am on the fence. The S5 has a great platform and IP67 protection. However, was quite taken back by the HTC One (M8). Aluminum case, dual rear camera, KitKat, Bigger screen, and all its features. It would probably be the phone I would love to have but since I a locked into a contract with the S4 I can only hope that I get a chance to win one ! Great videos by the way. Most informative than the other videos out there.

I've been using an iPhone for quite a while and finally decided to switch to an android phone. After searching around quite a lot, I keep getting the feeling that the HTC One m8 is perfect for me. I want a pretty and functional UI with good build quality. The camera and fitness features on the S5 just don't interest me all that much. 
So yeah, I'd love to win the HTC One (m8) if possible :D

I own the HTC one M8 and you will not be disappointed.  It is the best phone I have ever owned and the "selfie" mode is fantastic. There is no other phone on the market that takes such good "selfies".  I also own a 5S and previously had the S4, S3 and HTC One M7.  The camera takes great low light pictures but in full sunlight you will need to be careful but it still takes very good pictures.  The build quality is awesome and the ability to take a 128gb says volumes.  Touch sensitivity is the best I have ever experienced and, finally, HTC Sense is absolutely gorgeous.

New subscriber here! I like your thorough review and even pace of video. As for the phones, I used to really favour for M8 but that heart rate feature on the S5 sounds so cool! If only a company would just grab all the awesome hardware features from all the devices to make a superphone, but I guess that might be a patent issue?

the sheer contrast between HTC's design team and their marketing team..My God!

I had the Samsung Galaxy S3 and traded it in for the HTC One M8, and I must say, the phone is amazing. Now, I'm aware that using the S3 as an example isn't the viable but I have had hands on experiences with the S5 and I must say that there isn't must difference. Yes, it's bigger, yes a lot faster, and the camera is amazing but after a while, the gimmicks just fade on you and the build quality just leaves you in distaste.
Both phones are amazing pieces of kit (HTC One M8 & Galaxy S5) but weighing it all, I'd have to say that the HTC tips it (barely). Yes, the camera isn't as good as the S5's but it's still very clear with beautiful tones, the S5 being crystal clear but very vibrant, I don't know, you may like that but to me it seems to smack me in my face. The HTC fits really well in your hand and the curved back helps a lot with that but I recommend getting a case as the aluminium shell renders it as slippery as a... well... I've never been good at similes. 
But in itself, the build quality is sheerly blissful. It's beautiful to look act and feels like it could give the cliché Nokia brick a run for it's money as far as indestructibility goes.
Of course it isn't perfect, WiFi connectivity does seem to be an issue from time to time and other little things.
Both phones are outstanding pieces of technology and it all depends on personal preference; you'll be happy regardless what you choose, but as far as I know, the HTC One M8 is the one the wins it.

Great comparison vid! Both are great phones but I've been an HTC fan since the Evo days, so naturally I'd love to get that M8!

[adrickwong]

The hottest phone in this universe...#HTCOneM8

[DanielMuvdi]

Great comparison! HTC one M8 is for me, is not the best camera, but sense 6 is the winner, and is faster with multitask, is elegant, is a premium phone. 

[MrRoutsis]

Samsung S4 or HTC One M8, either if I could win that would be the biggest thing I've ever won! My birthday was just a few days ago, I'd love to win one or the other! Anyway love your show!

you forgot the importance of the boom sound speaker. i mean, that and the software were the only two reasons i bought htc m8.

[andyar]

keep up your great work, always thankful for your time taking these videos for people like me unsure about choosing a phone 

[JamesJDMoe]

Htc One m8 wins in build quality. its so gorgeous and also it wins in sound quality.
S5 in my opinion wins in just about all the other important stuff. That 16mp ISOCELL camera is premium, slightly faster cpu, plus wins in battery life, display quality, software features, plus water resistant, fingerscanner and Knox for excellent security. 
Thats not even all of it but I will gladly take a S5 over m8 :)

[rashadgraham]

Nice video man! thank you for all the great information for these amazing phones. keep up the good work.

[MeijaJanis]

really would like to understand those who buys samsung. i tried both, decided for m8. those who buy s5 just explain to me WHY plastic with childish UI is better?

how i decided:
everyday thing needed to look and feel solid, in bonus i get good sound.

[rakeshreddy]

great review bringing two big phones onto one platform ...waiting for april 24 

[lowkeyrida]

Htc One M8 is amazing i own it, very good phone

[duniecool]

Guys, you know that Samsung cheats in benchmarks right, Google it and andantech has some nice stuff on it. They both have the exact same chipaet, don't say one is faster than another, they are the exact same speed. If you want to get nitty gritty, despite its lower clock speed, the HTC one has a better temperature displacement meaning it will throttle less often and be able to maintain a higher clock speed longer is games. And you can also always overclock, REMEMBER THESE ARE THE EXACT SAME CHIPSETS!!!! It all comes down to ui optimization!

[Kevin-ckbu]

Give me the s5. You will have to buy a case for both phones anyway. I can buy a metal case but I'm not that excited about the metal, I want longevity and durability
