HTC One M8 vs Apple iPhone 5S

We’re going cover and compare smart devices and just what to expect from each brand name and software. Make sure you check with the manufacture for warranty and faults, nowadays it’s tough to pick out which smart device is better for your own personel use. Looking into a few fundamental specifics that include display, camera, the battery and prices.

Without any doubt, both devices have the word ‘premium’ all over them – moreover, they use high-quality materials with their casings. However, the designs are generally familiar and were solely based from their predecessors. Despite this, it’s the HTC One M8 that gives a more striking and stunning appeal. Even though both phones are made of aluminum, more is used on the HTC One M8, where you clearly see it wrapped around from edge-to-edge. Additionally, it has more of a weighty metallic-look, compared to the slightly more subdued tone of the iPhone 5s.
Though the HTC One M8 is more stunning and a head turner, the iPhone 5s’ smaller design makes it more ergonomic and easier to hold. Its size unquestionably beats it, since it’s just more conforming in the hand – in comparison to the enormous built of its rival. Still, the winner will depend on personal preference of the users.

Interestingly enough, both phones sport more or less the same placement of ports on their trims. Although HTC has greatly improved the feel of its power button and volume rockers, the iPhone 5s’ set is even more distinctive to the touch, and springier in response. Each phone has something unique that the others lack. For instance, the iPhone 5s has a biometric Touch ID fingerprint sensor used to unlock the phone with our fingerprint while the HTC One M8 has an IR blaster to make it a universal remote, a MicroSD card slot for memory expansion and a secondary rear camera to capture an in-depth information.

Like how the makers of these phones focused on the design, the trend extends to each of their displays. The HTC One M8 sport a 5-inch 1080 x 1920 pixels Super-LCD 3 display, while the iPhone 5s has a 4-inch 640 x 1136 pixels Retina display. If you calculate it, the HTC One M8 has the highest pixel density figure at 441 ppi, easily beating the 326 ppi dent of the iPhone 5s. Though these numbers on paper might offer some kind of leverage, but you’ll easily see a greater level of superiority on the HTC M8, seeing that it’s sharper, more pristine and more detailed. Clearly, it’s most evident while looking at the two side by side, but it’s quite hard to discern it from a distance away.

Depending on the good old LCD technology, both phones boast similar aspects – like their impressive outdoor visibility and natural color reproduction. Indeed, their screens are more than clear under direct sunlight. However, you can easily recognize the bright glow of the iPhone 5s’ display, which has about 587s nits versus the HTC One M8’s 490 nits. At the same time, both phones produce some natural looking colors, but the HTC One M8 is slightly more saturated than normal, making it pop at the cost of being natural looking. The white point is similar though, where the HTC One M8 and iPhone 5s displays have color temperatures of ~7182 and ~7144, respectively.

Physical numbers can only verve so far to show you which of the two phones have the better display; however, it’s what your eyes can actually see that makes the final grit. Taking that into consideration, the HTC One M8’s display has the arsenal to make it the more stunning display. It might not shatter the iPhone 5s in all areas, but you’ll really see and feel the HTC One M8’s superiority the moment you lay eyes on it.

But then again, there are still a lot of aspects that needs to be challenged before you make the final say. Again, it’ll depend on personal preference too.
