Re: HTC One (M8) ... or Note 3
They are both innovators. Clearly Samsung entered a new product sub-category with the Note series. And it's been very successful- so now they are not innovating/changing that very much. HTC has in the past pushed the boundaries very hear...remember a vast four years ago...the HTC Droid Eris? The HTC Incredible?...when Samsung was barely on the radar screen. Samsung and AT&T had a bad issue for months with the non-functional GPS and it seems it has only recently been fixed with the KK4.4 update.
HTC has certainly pushed ID beyond what Samsung has done, but the innovation of the camera sensor and the effects resulting from that are sheer gimmickry and they should have made that camera as good as the iphone before messing around with gimmicks.
Bottom line seems to be:
N3: Big screen, removable battery, stylus/writing/drawing
M8: Stereo speakers, beautiful ID, clean non-intrusive skin
