With all the data of the new HTC One M8 in hand it's time to see if the Taiwanese company will debut on the market in a heavyweight able to get ahead of the other competitors , and among them , the most prominent in the segment Android, the Samsung Galaxy S5 . We analyze the similarities and differences between the two terminals.
Filtering ad nauseum, we can finally talk about the new HTC official features One M8 and with them in hand, playing to see if lives up rivals to be found in the market during 2014. And the first is none other than that, for now , has every chance to continue leading the Android segment , we talk about the Samsung Galaxy S5 .
Design
Here we find the first difference is that HTC continues with the design based on metallic materials, something that has been missed in the Samsung Galaxy S5(top rated iphone 5 cases) continues polycarbonate and for taking design back cover skin pseudo- Galaxy Note 3 . This also results in favor of the Korean model , to a lesser weight reaches 145 grams compared to 160 grams of the new HTC One M8 .
Both have a 5-inch screen - 5.1 "for the Galaxy S5 - and , therefore , of similar dimensions. They offer a superfine frame around it . The Samsung model has dimensions of 142 mm long by 72.5 mm wide, are essentially similar to the M8 One is slightly longer , 146.4 mm , but narrower with 70.6 millimeters. However, there is enough profile difference because while the Samsung Galaxy S5 down to 8.1 mm - without being the slimmest in its class - the HTC One M8 has a thickness of 9.4 mm but with a rounded back cover to make it more ergonomic .
To finish the design, it should be noted that the Samsung Galaxy S5 is resistant to immersion in liquids and has IP67 certification, something that lacks the HTC One M8 than other proposals slouch in this regard as well as front Sony Xperia Z2 .
Screen
How we mentioned before, the Samsung Galaxy S5 has a diagonal slightly higher than the HTC One M8 , 5.1 inches compared to 5 inches . Both screens reach the same resolution , 1080p , but differ in the technology used in the case of Samsung is a SuperAMOLED HTC WHILE SuperLCD but opts for both tie in both 441 dpi density and use Panels 3 for Gorilla Glass protection.
Performance
And here there is a small difference. Both feature the Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 a quad-core Adreno 330 GPU processor. However, for HTC has opted for MSM8974AB model, it has the same Z2 Sony Xperia , which is slightly different from the Samsung Galaxy S5 MSM8974AC . This makes the first range 2.3 GHz and the second up to 2.5 Ghz . As already explained, and concretized Qualcomm itself , the difference is that the GPU Adreno 330 HTC One M8 goes from 450 Mhz to 550 Mhz while the Galaxy S5 reaches 578 Mhz.
Moreover, both tied in regards to RAM finally is 2 GB for HTC One M8, as much as can be found in the Samsung Galaxy S5 .
Cameras
And this really is the defining point of the HTC One M8 . As is known, has a dual optical Ultrapixel 4 megapixel technology , allowing you to take pictures of 2592 х 1944 pixels resolution. Meanwhile, the Samsung Galaxy S5 has a 16 megapixel camera , which is a resolution of 5312 x 2988 pixels. However, HTC claims the Ultrapixel technology, despite its apparent lower capacity gets better results than traditional cameras. The photodiodes of the HTC One sensor are 2 microns while the Galaxy Camera S5 is 1.12 microns , hence the manufacturer says that its performance is similar to a camera 13 megapixels, but with better ability to capture colors and lighting.
However, the final verdict in this regard we will reserve for when we can have both hands on the terminals . Currently , the most notable difference is the presence of dual optics on the HTC One that achieves 3D and blur effects , which can be achieved with the Galaxy S5 but with software involved. Both have touch focus and refocus images after the event, as well as a number of specific software with filters and other additives to enhance photos .
Yes, in the video recording part differ as only Samsung Galaxy S5 is capable of taking pictures as 4K while the HTC One M8 stays in 1080p for 30 or 60 fps. Rounding out this aspect 2.1 megapixel camera for Samsung and 5 megapixel on the front of the HTC One M8 .
Connectivity , capacity and autonomy.
In terms of connections, both are also almost a carbon copy . They offer Wi -Fi 802.11 a / b / g / n / ac - with support for DLNA , WiFi Direct and MIMO - Bluetooth 4.0 A2DP , NFC , infrared port and microUSB 2.0. They both also support 3G (HSPA +) and LTE networks Cat4 , allowing up to 150 Mbps downstream and 50 Mbps upstream .
Moreover, the Samsung Galaxy is available in two capacities , 16GB and 32GB , while for the HTC One M8 only confirmed the 16GB model . Yes, both are compatible with the new microSD cards up to 128 GB to increase this figure.
As for the batteries , again the Samsung Galaxy S5 stands one step ahead with a 2800 mah battery instead of 2600 mAh HTC One M8 . Furthermore, the Korean is removable , which can not be done in Taiwanese .
Software
Here also are tied while they are totally different . And both offer Android 4.4.2 serial KitKat but little resemblance to each other thanks to TouchWiz and HTC Sense 6.0 interfaces. Both of them has set paths Play Google applications so you can try the experience with each other, which is so extensive and comparative merit a particular part will do shortly. Notably , however, the different approach between UX Magazine Blinkfeed Samsung(best galaxy s4 case) and HTC for presenting content on the desktop screen , but again , opt for one or the other is almost a matter of taste.
Yes, one as much as another expected paths " Google Edition" and even HTC One M8 already seen the first images .
Other fixtures and fittings
And we can not forget that accompanied the Samsung Samsung Galaxy Samsung S5 new Gear 2 and Gear Fit, besides offering a heart sensor on the camera and one fingerprint on the front . Brand new HTC One is left in the camera with no optical double "special" than the usual sensors : gyroscope , accelerometer, etc. .
