Have you traded in your Samsung S5 or iPhone for the M8?

[ugxvibe]

Just curious to see how many people are doing this. I'm sure it works in the other direction too but they can make their own poll in those associated forums.

Explain the top reasons (pros/cons) why you either made the switch or didn't. Thanks!

I traded my HTC One M7 for this phone. The battery life, camera improvements and overall design/feel won me over.

I like them both honestly but I can't see myself giving up my Note 3... Samsung needs to hurry with the Note 4 .

When I was at ATT this morning they told me they have had a lot of people come in and switch out the S5 for the M8...

That's interesting about the Att store. Did they say why?

Same here. I prefer the larger screen so I will wait until either the note 4 or perhaps the one max 2. I would like them to release them sooner, but most like we will have to wait until September/October.

Interesting. Did they say why? And what made you switch?

my guess... it's better while the s5 is an s4 with a heart monitor.!

Major issues I faced were around TW being so laggy, the wanna be finger print sensor, the speakers, and it wasnt worth the upgrade for me. I played around with the M8 and it seems a lot more efficient with the OS/Sense.

They didnt say why they had come back but I have to believe it wasnt much of an upgrade vs the s4 and TW still sucks!

Traded the S5 for the M8. No regrets. I greatly prefer Sense to TW. I asked if the S5 has been selling like hotcakes and he said oh yeah! but there have been a lot of exchanges.

What was your main reason for switching?

Makes you wonder how many of those people were part of the Iphone -> S5 switchers. Going from 4s to stock android was a little bit of a shock for me, so I can only imagine from iOS to TW.

Was getting tired of Touchwiz. Needed a change. Sense is very nice. Well made. Plus the One is more smoother and faster in my opinion than the S5.

Nope I wouldn't never give up the s5 to get the m8. Why would I downgrade.

Might do it tomorrow. S5 is really nice, but I don't really enjoy it. Too many hiccups to deal with coming from a n5.
