Better for the future? Did you know that you need at least 4GB of ram in order to get real performance from a 64 bit cpu. Lol. Btw the snapdragon 805 is way more powerful than that chip. Kit kat is smooth like ios already.
anyone who seriously think that iPone 5s is better than Htc 1 m8 he really dumb coz it's obviously htc is way better than iphone.. I don't mind if they prefer the iphone , it's there choice and it's a good phone but it's not better !
You are totally right. the apple junkies do not wan to admit that the other android phones already surpassed iPhone. I must say the user experience is much better than android phones but that's only because the simple layout the iPhone has. but in case off specs, apps, camera and many other things and espsecially the price. Apple fails drasticly. but keep buying expensive apple products people. I will never let apple get one penny from me. again it's not a bad Phone. but if you compare the iPhone with android. IPhone will lose. That''s why they want to buy all the technology and they are gonna say that other companies cannot use the technology. like they are gonna do with beats by Dre. just watch and see. it's the American way., steal something and say it's yours and sew evrybody that makes a use off that technology. the basterds
***** seriously ! (laging) that's ur argument lol .. sure there is android phones that are garbage but most of andriod phones NOW are way better than iPhone ... stop kidding yourself !
***** I play a lot of games on my htc 1 m8 and they're outstanding, plus sharp screen and the graphics are amazing and the snapdragon 801 is doing spectacular job and the games are running smoothly as possible.. don't forget games are mush fun on bigger screen..
Likewise, but they speak to two different audiences. Also, that's the principal attraction that I have to the HTC one m8 - love the aesthetics and that speaker... Wow. The speakers are most definitely stereo speakers btw, beautiful feature.
I am seriously starting to hate iPhones because there are just to damn many of them and all they sell at stores for cases is about 5000 iPhone cases and maybe 2 htc one cases. Its really annoying.
RedVelocistar Buy the dot view case. It's really cool. I have one and it's pretty durable. But I would prefer it without the case for the looks of the phone :)
Going for the HTC One [M8]- I have the Nexus 4 right now, it's nice but I'm having overheat issues and battery life situations that is really inconvenient - so yeah - HTC has won my money for the next 1-1/2 to 2yrs!
It's been favorably reviewed by most people, even more so than the Galaxy S5. I have the Nexus 5 and it's an awesome phone too, especially for $350. Both the Nexus 4 and 5 are rumored to be getting Android 4.4.3 really soon but since you need a phone now, the new HTC One is one of the best. The Next Nexus phone probably won't be out until the end of the year. I buy a new Nexus every 2 years because I really want the newest versions of Android as soon as possible. Unless something happens, I'll be holding onto this one until the 2015 Nexus is out. It's cool you are sticking with Android though :)
To me the biggest selling point of the HTC One M8 is the boomsound speakers and micro SD card slot. I don't care about the extra features, neither the Sense UI. I'm waiting for the Google Play Edition to be released. Are you planning on getting it for review?
Does the M8 take huge amount of OS size ? I heard it took 6 gigs in Note 3 or S5 ( cannot remember which one ). If it takes a lot of space, that would be a downside compere to iPhone.
Haha it doesn't matter. HTC One M8 has expandable storage so you can have all the storage you want! I'm gonna upgrade my phone soon. Deciding between this and the S5 :)
I prefer the iphone 5s. From the outter industrial design to the OS running at its core. Personal preference but I have great respect for the HTC one product line! Cheers!
Death threat? awesome! Now I will save your messages and i'll give them to a friend, so if you kill me.. you'd be tracked down, jailed and your company will be stained with my blood.... Use your brain.
It's cool, the mobile youtube comment system is pretty bad ever since they implemented google plus to youtube. The typing process is painstaking, someone should let google know so they can improve the UI.
Ken! I love your videos man! i am also from Canada. But i have a question that nobody is able to answer for me. What grid size do you use to have the homescreen icons close together like that?!
Just got the HTC one M8 today and its replacing the iphone 5S that I have. The HTC is so much better and fun to use, IMO. Also, like the camera and screen much better, not to mention the M8 is blazing fast.
Nice video. M8 ftw! I picked mine up on the 25th and the phone is amazing. The boom speakers are solid and the camera is perfect, don't be fooled be the number 4 in the pixels, it shoots great pix. Apple fanboys can no longer brag about build quality cuz this phone is solid and feels better than the iPhone and even the M7. The only thing I would change is remove the front HTC logo but it's not a deal breaker. Android>iOS #Android #htc #One #M8
Great review Ken! I'm an HTC ONE M8 user as of June 2014, before that, HTC ONE. Because of the experience with previous Samsung galaxy (boo!), I read up on the HTC ONE and was pleased, used it, loveded it, M8 was an obvious upgrade choice.
I think this video was well put together I think you didn't bash the iPhone 5s your point was clear and concise. I enjoyed the video style keep up the good work. I have seen other videos and it makes me not want to watch them because they truly are bashing the iPhone 5s. Thanks!
I don't know what to do now... My upgrade is next month... and I just don't know! What about the quality? Because I know that iphone hardly breaks down, but other phones you have to send to waranty one or two time during your contract...
Hey, maybe a stupid question, but how do you make your start screen on the M8 (or is it the lock screen) like that with those small weather and mail widgets under your clock? Thanks
I have the iphone (using it now) and my older brother has the m8 and he showed me how the htc line worked and I fell in love with htc it has a better design it feels a lot more comfortable in the hand vs the iphone and I love my music so the boom sound is a must!!!
Nice review. Designwise it's just typical, because of the phabletsize the application of overall brushed steal gives the M8 a kitchen device feel. Makes me wanna slice some carrots on it! Aluminum as a styling is great when used considerately. Nice to tweak the interface to a zillion combinations, but the icons still look 'immature'. Then again, the HTC has a certain target group with this certain 'design'interpretation.
If we're being serious, the camera on the m8 is garbage. Then there's the gimmicks from both phones which is really not something worth discussing. Also some people just prefer ios, which is strange to me but to each his own I guess.
Philitron128 It was meant as a joke. Of course everyone has different opinions and some people do prefer the smaller size and iOS. As you said, the camera is, without doubt, HTC's weakest point and Apple's strong point.
hi i really like your video , i just want to ask you about the music in the background, what's the name of it? in the other hand i think that IOS is better than Android so this is the heart of the mater , thanks
I have had an iPhone since they released the 3. I think you video has motivated me to try something new. Of course I will be watching you next video on why the 5s is better than the HTC One. Thanks for the info!
I not yet got the HTC one M8 but I really hope and demand it because of its amazing camera giving more light when taking at night and the depth and clear picture of the front camera which can be taken selfie for real good piture.
Ken, I love the speakers on the HTC! You sounded DJ yo! I like your video and thank you for posting! FYI. I have iPhone 5c and HTC M8. It's like two different kids and I like them both for different reasons.
When you pick up an iphone, It just works without lag. I can't speak for the m8 or m9 but the iPhone 5s never failed me. All the Evo's had major lag. My galaxy lagged out after a year.
I'm all for apple. However Im more into audio and the HTC has the best speakers compared to any ever made. The build quality is great just like apple and i like the battery life on the HTC compared to the iPhone. Not really into the big screen on the HTC, but I'll over look it this one time. Apple messed up with the 6. Making it bigger was pointless. Should've just updated and speakers and it would've been the ultimate phone.
About to film my video on reasons why the iPhone 5s is better than the HTC One.
Can you suggest some good reasons to use in that video?
Better for the future?
Did you know that you need at least 4GB of ram in order to get real performance from a 64 bit cpu. Lol. Btw the snapdragon 805 is way more powerful than that chip. Kit kat is smooth like ios already.
I wanna say it would be easier setting up iTunes and stuff if you have a Mac computer.
Great videos! I love my M8
Hey Ken, Could u compare the touch responsiveness and latency delay, if there is any.
Slow-motion video capture...
Wow ken your videos are really getting a LOT better. I loved this one!
anyone who seriously think that iPone 5s is better than Htc 1 m8 he really dumb coz it's obviously htc is way better than iphone.. I don't mind if they prefer the iphone , it's there choice and it's a good phone but it's not better !

jelinho100
u descried what is really happening :D
*****
seriously ! (laging) that's ur argument lol .. sure there is android phones that are garbage but most of andriod phones NOW are way better than iPhone ... stop kidding yourself !
*****
I play a lot of games on my htc 1 m8 and they're outstanding, plus sharp screen and the graphics are amazing and the snapdragon 801 is doing spectacular job and the games are running smoothly as possible.. don't forget games are mush fun on bigger screen..
*****
why would i lie to u ?? stop thinking like fan boys and fucking realize that apple is not the only fucking company who makes good phones !!
Comparing a 2013 phone with a 2014 phone, genius!
I see your point, but when I look at the price difference... It doesn't make sense at all lol
***** Still not approtiate match for One M8, even they have six month different. They're selling a phone, called iPhone, and people buy it, literally.
Tommy Thai
Well, i like the iPhone 5s too compared to the M8, but jeez i'm so in love with the metal-built of the M8 and the *STEREO (kinda)* speaker.
Likewise, but they speak to two different audiences. Also, that's the principal attraction that I have to the HTC one m8 - love the aesthetics and that speaker... Wow.
The speakers are most definitely stereo speakers btw, beautiful feature.
Yup, very different audiences lol. Yup, those 2 things basically destroy the competitors from the M8 hahaha..
I am seriously starting to hate iPhones because there are just to damn many of them and all they sell at stores for cases is about 5000 iPhone cases and maybe 2 htc one cases. Its really annoying.
Lol its racist, they all like iPhone more than htc
Maybe its because the HTC One is so beautiful that you wouldn't want to put a case on it?
Varun Ramakrishnan I see your point but I would never want to put a scratch on that beauty.
RedVelocistar Buy the dot view case. It's really cool. I have one and it's pretty durable. But I would prefer it without the case for the looks of the phone :)
Vladamir Moses I have the htc one m7 :(

I'll always be an Android user, as far as phones and tablets.
Me too! :D
Had the HTC ONE M7 and now have the M8, not a Scooby Doo on how either one works but i know how to answer a call and turn it on. Thanks.
To me the biggest selling point of the HTC One M8 is the boomsound speakers and micro SD card slot. I don't care about the extra features, neither the Sense UI. I'm waiting for the Google Play Edition to be released. Are you planning on getting it for review?
You can already order the GPE. It costs $699.
Does the M8 take huge amount of OS size ? I heard it took 6 gigs in Note 3 or S5 ( cannot remember which one ). If it takes a lot of space, that would be a downside compere to iPhone.
Haha it doesn't matter. HTC One M8 has expandable storage so you can have all the storage you want! I'm gonna upgrade my phone soon. Deciding between this and the S5 :)
Nay Linn Ha!!!! Didn't see you coming :D LOL !!! Wait for a while, WWDC is just right around the corner. :D
Hahaha I bet we are gonna see a iphone with a bigger screen.
I prefer the iphone 5s. From the outter industrial design to the OS running at its core. Personal preference but I have great respect for the HTC one product line!
Cheers!
Yeah, the design of the hardware...the look, etc.
Death threat? awesome! Now I will save your messages and i'll give them to a friend, so if you kill me.. you'd be tracked down, jailed and your company will be stained with my blood.... Use your brain.

exactly!
Better phones = Better Phones! =)
whats that wallpaper you have on the htc one m8? looks gorgeous..
so the font & back cameras are better on the HTC than the iPhone? Im trying to choose my next phone, what's your input as well?
Ken! I love your videos man! i am also from Canada. But i have a question that nobody is able to answer for me.
What grid size do you use to have the homescreen icons close together like that?!
Can you please upload a tut how to get your htc like that? I really like it
Good video Ken! I prefer the HTC ONE, because of Android, screen, speakers.
#8 is kinda invalid since that reason has to do with the software rather than the phones itself
But the software is different on each... Therefore it is valid.
It is a valid point, its a part of the phone. and Android is better than iOS
Josh M Lerek Naw, dude. Android isn't better than Android.
Hmmmmmm...
I disagree. Software is a major part of the phone itself. Software decides how the hardware interacts with the user.
Just got the HTC one M8 today and its replacing the iphone 5S that I have. The HTC is so much better and fun to use, IMO. Also, like the camera and screen much better, not to mention the M8 is blazing fast.
Another great video man! You videos are so smooth, big fan! I got the HTC ONE from Verizon on day one, no contract and it was $599
weird... I bought mine in verizon for $650 32gb
Josh M Lerek very weird, mine is also 32gb
Nice video. M8 ftw!
I picked mine up on the 25th and the phone is amazing. The boom speakers are solid and the camera is perfect, don't be fooled be the number 4 in the pixels, it shoots great pix.
Apple fanboys can no longer brag about build quality cuz this phone is solid and feels better than the iPhone and even the M7.
The only thing I would change is remove the front HTC logo but it's not a deal breaker.
Android>iOS #Android #htc #One #M8
I have the new HTC ONE M8 and absolutely love it. What launcher or theme were you using on the phone in the test?
Best video on the M8 I've seen yet. Excellent job Ken!
HTC One M8 will be best metal phone till iphone 6 comes out.
I just got the HTC one m8 a few hours ago. So far so good. I've been a android fan since G1. I really liked your video.
Great job on the video! HTC M8 for me! Best all around smartphone in my opinion!
A fucking TODDLER will tell your the M8 is better than the 5S..
*****
Well m8 does have a "kid mode"
Ken Dai could you please tell me what launcher that is at 3:55.i didn't know you could change the grids.
What icon pack and launcher are you using?
Is blink feed still working if you apply a launcher to it?
Ken , what mic do you use?
I considered waiting for iPhone 6. But HTC is so gorgeous and I already have so much invested in Google ecosystem. Getting the One M8 soon.
Great review Ken! I'm an HTC ONE M8 user as of June 2014, before that, HTC ONE. Because of the experience with previous Samsung galaxy (boo!), I read up on the HTC ONE and was pleased, used it, loveded it, M8 was an obvious upgrade choice.

Switching to the HTC One M8 and staying with HTC One for life.
I don't know what to do now... My upgrade is next month... and I just don't know! What about the quality? Because I know that iphone hardly breaks down, but other phones you have to send to waranty one or two time during your contract...
Great video! Can you please do a camera comparison HTC m8 vs lg g2
Hey, maybe a stupid question, but how do you make your start screen on the M8 (or is it the lock screen) like that with those small weather and mail widgets under your clock? Thanks
Its an app called dash clock
How did you manage to get those icons looking like that on the htc?
which is the best smartphone htc one m8 or sony z2 ?
How did you get the app icons so close to each other in first page?
What is the name of the widget on your home screen on the HTC?
Hey Ken, I couldnt find it on your page, what kind of camera do you use to record with?
how did you get the main home screen of the m8 to be like that? (with the galaxy background)
great video yet again Ken !
I have the iphone (using it now) and my older brother has the m8 and he showed me how the htc line worked and I fell in love with htc it has a better design it feels a lot more comfortable in the hand vs the iphone and I love my music so the boom sound is a must!!!
👍👍👍👍👍
how do I get the lock screen that you have on the HTC one in the video? Where can I get that theme?
Great video planning on getting the m8 in next few days for sure now 😄
Which icon packs, launcher, wallpaper and widgets do you use? It would make a great video! Thanks! :)
Nice bit of kit. Why so expensive here in the UK?
Does anyone have the wallpaper on the htc one from the video? specifically at 0:28?
Can you please upload your wallpaper That's used in your htc one?
Nice review. Designwise it's just typical, because of the phabletsize the application of overall brushed steal gives the M8 a kitchen device feel. Makes me wanna slice some carrots on it! Aluminum as a styling is great when used considerately.
Nice to tweak the interface to a zillion combinations, but the icons still look 'immature'. Then again, the HTC has a certain target group with this certain 'design'interpretation.
Before purchasing the M8, I want to know if the purple/red tint is still happening in the camera? Anyone?
Love the video Ken!
could you tell me what launcher and Widgets your using please
*A few weeks later* "Sorry guys I couldn't find any reasons for the iPhone 5S :/"
If we're being serious, the camera on the m8 is garbage. Then there's the gimmicks from both phones which is really not something worth discussing. Also some people just prefer ios, which is strange to me but to each his own I guess.

I also have an HTC one m8 and it's indoor quality sucks a lot is it defected?
My picture sorts of pixelates
Great video Ken. I am hoping to review this phone as well, do you have a contact at HTC? I wonder if Finns watch your videos too,
Ken, I love the speakers on the HTC! You sounded DJ yo! I like your video and thank you for posting! FYI. I have iPhone 5c and HTC M8. It's like two different kids and I like them both for different reasons.
may i know what launcher u using on your htc M8?
Ken .. Can you do a video about your HTC step up?
When you pick up an iphone, It just works without lag. I can't speak for the m8 or m9 but the iPhone 5s never failed me. All the Evo's had major lag. My galaxy lagged out after a year.
Went from an iPhone 5 to an HTC One M8 and i gotta say, I LOVE IT. :)
Ken your videos are awesome! Now your making me want to trade in my 5S lol.
how do you get the apps so close together on the home screen
I think I'm going to make the switch to the M8! GREAT VID.
HTC One M7 vs Iphone 5s.
HTC One M8 vs Iphone 6.
no need on geekbench 3 iphone 5s better than M8 kkkkkk
dude itz iphone 5 vs m7 and 5s vs m8
nihar raut he meant you should compare the 5s to the old htc one and compare the M8 with the next iphone (presumably iphone 6)
nihar raut Are you okay? Iphone 5s and HTC One M7 were released in 2013, Iphone 6 and HTC One M8 will and was release in 2014.
THAT SHOULD BE !!!

The build quality is great just like apple and i like the battery life on the HTC compared to the iPhone. Not really into the big screen on the HTC, but I'll over look it this one time.
