HTC One M8 Vs Google Nexus 5 is a good comparison to test if the newer M8 will fare well against the more stable Google product, Nexus 5? Sometimes, it is difficult to go past the aura of a new smartphone that is pricier and the discerning consumer needs to have these facts in front of him.
As far as display goes, the size of the M8 is something that has been touted about since its release. And it is safe to say that everyone loves big displays, while mini smartphone versions have their place for convenience.
Taking center stage of the M8 release, is Snapdragon 801 system on a chip (SoC) operating on a at a worthy 2.3GHz. This chip, coupled with 2GB of RAM, will run any app as smooth as possible. You can take that as a given, though it is not 64-bit. The Nexus 5 has the Snapdragon 800, which was considered to be a bid deal at its time of release.
Considering the depreciation in the Nexus 5 relative age, the HTC One M8 makes a good argument for purchase. This is true particularly if a phone needs to run heavy apps and it will also add to the crispness of the operating system.
With a more space, the M8 hosts a larger battery HTC One M8 has a 2,600mAh, which converts into 20 hours talk time. The battery on the Google Nexus 5 is a 2,300mAh battery. Not a big difference considering the strength of the battery at the time of Nexus 5 launch.
The main camera on the HTC One M8 has received opposing feedback with some reviewers saying it is better than that of Google Nexus 5. Equipped with two UltraPixel lenses the HTC One M8 takes pictures in near-3D. More significantly, refocus enabling allows for fast continuous shots. HTC One M8’s 5-megapixel front-cam blasts the somewhat pale 1.3-MP Nexus 5 cam.
Although not many smartphone watchers use it just for the cam features, if you’re considering a better than mediocre camera, your best bet is the M8.
In other areas like network connectivity, the two contenders function in a similar manner as do most smartphones.
Price is clearly a selling point for Google's Nexus 5 at £299 for 16GB and £339 for 32GB. The HTC One, however, has a SIM free at £535, a more expensive proposition by any standards.
“While features like the dual Ultrapixel camera and strong specs, coupled with a good-looking build make the HTC One M8 a very solid competitor, Google's Nexus 5 still cinches this one for its incredible value and robust all-roundedness” reports itproportal.
