Came from HTC One M8....Likes and Dislikes

[RockyMtnRedRaider]

Overall, I enjoy this phone more than my former M8. Things that are better and worse in my opinion:

Better:
*Screen (quality and usable space)
*Battery (battery life & the fact it is removable)
*Camera resolution and bright scene performance
*IP67 rating
*Customization (almost too many options)
*Security features

Worse:
*UI (HTC Sense is superior to Touchwiz)
*Overall speed of M8 is better
*Low light camera performance
*Speakers
*In-hand feel and build quality

Yeah, the speaker audio on Samsungs has never been what I would call really good. It don't help that I have severe Tinnitus.

TouchWiz can be dealt with, just install Nova Launcher Prime, or a similar launcher. I'm really sold on Nova after having tried out several in its' class.

* Nova Launcher - Android Apps on Google Play

The "in-hand" feel, all of them are too slick to hold. I just put a case on them.

Let me add: weight. I find the S5 is much easier to hold for long periods of time. M8 was a heavy phone.
