      Samsung Galaxy S5 and HTC One M8 both are good phones but HTC One M8 has some extra premium looks with metal body whereas S5 has the same old fashioned plastic body but with a grip at the back. Performance wise both S5 and M8 are good. S5 has removable battery and M8 battery can’t be removed. In all, if you like to hold a premium device in your hands than go for HTC One M8 and if you are Samsung lover than go for S5.

      It’s really hard to compare both Xperia Z2 and HTC One M8 as both are power packed and feature rich mobiles. If you want to use effects and do tricky photography than go for M8 and if you simply need big format pictures than Z2 will be better. HTC One M8 has some extra premium looks which brings this device at par from it’s competitors.
