    Haven't seen a thread about it so...

    Is it any good? I'm not really feeling Samsung and I don't want an iPhone either.

    I have always been an HTC guy, but went with the S4 this time around because of the AMOLED screen. It's a really close match up, you should go to a store and check em both out.

    I did alot of research between s5 and the one. Ended up with this one. Both have pros and cons and researching them you will find heated arguments going both ways. It ultimately comes down to preference. Go to the store and try em both out.

    Personally just never really been a fan of touch wiz.

    I've seen that the S5 and the M8 have a lot of similarities specs-wise. It's coming down to a few things for me.

    I don't like TouchWiz either, while I'm loving what HTC has done with Sense. Also don't like the plastic Samsung uses on its phones use, it feels cheap. The metal build on the One feels and looks great. I actually love the overall design of the build. Heard the speakers were great too and that's really appealing to me. A couple of things I prefer on the S5 are the AMOLED screen, the lock button being on the side of the phone, and the camera... I don't use that too often though.

    I'll probably go with the M8, but I'll still check both in the store just to be sure. Thanks!

    Disagree

    They both have their strengths and weaknesses

    touchwiz is the worst interface of any android interface, and its not even close.

    its ugly, the sounds are stupid, and almost no customization available.



    to the OP, get the One. you wont regret it

    using nova doesnt change the fact that you still have TW or sense framework

    and no, they are not equally crap

    lefty's opinions have to be taken with a grain of salt, because for years he was absolutely adamant that iOS >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> android in every figment of every human's imagination and always would for all eternity, and the moment he got an android, he flip-flopped.

    Back in the day Sense 4 was pretty bloated and ty, but Sense 5+ >>> Wiz. SW has some handy things, but the package is just so ugly and there's so much necessary .

    I still prefer AOSP over these skinned abominations like SW, Sense etc. anyways. They offer no value to me, no matter how hard I try to use em. Throw in the features from custom AOSP ROMs like LiquidSmooth, Carbon, Beanstalk etc. and it's no contest.

    I don't, it's negligible at best. I'm pretty sure Anandtech has already shown little to no difference b/w the camera apps on pic quality (when comparing to S4 and HTC One Google Play editions).

    You're also just not gonna get substantial differences in photos any way you cut it. S4's 13MP cam is always gonna take exceptional photos in the day ( @ my photos of Valley of Fire) and an average/mediocre nighttime camera. That's not gonna chance whether you have AOSP, GPE, TW, etc.
