The HTC One M8 and the Samsung Galaxy S5 are two of the hottest flagship devices in the Smartphone market. The two devices launched just weeks apart and are now in a struggle to win the hearts of Smartphone users around the world.
The M8 is a spectacular device, plain and simple! The One M8 has all that you would want in a high end Android device. We are talking about its fantastic looks, awesome technical specification and nifty software enhancements such as blink feed.
The Samsung Galaxy S5 is the phone that has everyone talking. The Galaxy S5 has some of the most sophisticated features ever on an Android handset.
We are talking of a fingerprint scanner, a 16 MP snapper, and a heart rate sensor to track your vitals while on the go. Not forgetting the badass ultra power saving mode that squeezes out an extra 24 hours out of the S5 at a 10% battery charge level.
