Samsung Galaxy S5 vs HTC One M8 - Full Comparison

Samsung Galaxy S5 vs All New HTC One M8 2014. A pre comparison of Galaxy S5 and the Unannounced All New HTC One M8 including display, camera, design, CPU & GPU, Hardware & Software, Sound & battery.

You might wonder how can we compare these devices, when only one of them is officially announced? The Galaxy S5 was made official at the Mobile World Congress, so there are no mysteries surrounding its hardware specs and features. On the other hand, the HTC M8 is set for an official unveiling on the 25th of March, so isn't it a bit too early for a side-by-side comparison?
Well, not really, and the reason for this is quite interesting. In a nutshell, the HTC M8 is one of the most leaked smartphones around, While the leak-streak continues, earlier this week a boxed HTC M8 bearing Verizon's logo has been sold through eBay for $499. Indeed, the level of leaks has reached a point where the smartphone has been sold by an anonymous person, before its official announcement (let alone release).
Needless to say, this gives us an opportunity to compare the Galaxy S5 and the HTC M8 -- at least on paper. We can do this, simply because the boxed unit contained spec sheets confirming some of the rumored specifications, and revealing new ones. So without further ado, let's see how these two giants of the mobile world compare to one another.

Hardware Specs

The first thing we should clear out is that, while we were initially referring to the upcoming HTC flagship by the codename M8, or the rumored "All New HTC One" moniker, it appears that the Taiwanese manufacturer will stick to its old formula. Based on the packaging, the upcoming flagship will simply be called the "HTC One." This might make things rather confusing, given the fact that the company's last year's flagship smartphone bears the same nametag.

Moving on to hardware specs, the new HTC One seems to be in the same boat as the Sony Xperia Z2 -- at least CPU-wise. The One appears to be powered by a Snapdragon 801 processor, much like the Galaxy S5 is. However, the difference lies in the fact that SGS5 makes use of the MSM8974-AC variant of the same 801 CPU which boasts a frequency of 2.5 GHz. In contrast, both the HTC One and the Xperia Z2 feature a MSM8974-AB SoC, clocked at 2.3 GHz. The CPU is being accompanied by 2 GB of RAM on both the SGS5 and HTC One. There's also an Adreno 330 graphics chip. Storage-wise, the Galaxy S5 will be offered with 16 or 32 GB, with the possibility to expand the storage by up to an additional 128 GB via microSD. The HTC One (2014) on the other hand, features 32 GB of storage (at least the model sold on eBay), and there have been rumors of a 16 GB variant as well. Fortunately for HTC enthusiasts, the all new One also takes advantage of a microSD card slot that can read cards of up to 128 GB.

Display and Multimedia Features

As most of you already know, the Samsung Galaxy S5 is equipped with a 5.1-inch Super AMOLED display that's protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 3. The screen features a resolution of 1080 x 1920, resulting in a pixel density of roughly 432 pixels per inch.
The HTC One boasts similar specifications in this regard, as it comes with a 5-inch display with a resolution of 1080p. While the type of display is not specified, I suppose it's safe to assume that HTC remained faithful to Super LCD.
In contrast, the all new HTC One comes with a unique camera combination, boasting two sensors on the back panel that work simultaneously. The "Duo Camera" setup is expected to come with UltraPixel technology and HTC ImageChip 2, and the main unit appears to be featuring an F2.0 aperture with 28mm lens. Sadly, the spec-sheet doesn't reveal the exact amount of megapixels. It has been reported that the main unit could pack 4 MP, while the secondary sensor would boast 2 MP, but this hasn't been confirmed.
Fortunately the spec sheet revealed some details concerning the front-facing unit as well, and as rumored before, the camera boasts 5 MP. It is reportedly a back-illuminated sensor with a wide angle lens, 1080p video recording capabilities and HDR.
Naturally, the all new One comes with a high quality audio setup as well. The phone appears to take advantage of dual front stereo speakers with HTC BoomSound, similar to what we've seen on the original One. Sadly, there's not a lot to say about the Galaxy S5′s speakers, so the One takes the cake.
