this phonebook video series is brought to you by $6.00 shirts what's up guys David here for follow up and welcome back to this bum bow style comparison where we're pitting to the hottest Android smartphones out right now against one another in the HTC One m8 and the Samsung Galaxy s5 now if you're new to the channel or don't know exactly what a phone book style comparison is basically what we're going to be doing in this two-part video series is looking at twenty five reasons why each of these phones can be considered better than the other end that way after watching both you'll have a much better idea as to which one is better for you let's go ahead and get right into it reason number one while especially will tell you that the 5.1 inch display on the galaxy s5 is only a tenth of an inch bigger than the HTC one's in reality because the s5 doesn't have on-screen buttons it's usable screen size is nearly half an inch bigger whenever the m8 on screen buttons are visible which is more often than not - but despite its larger size the galaxy s5 screen can be easier to use with one hand with the screen rescaling feature where you can easily resize the entire screen to anywhere between three point five and 4.3 inches diagonally with a simple swipe in and out from the edge of the screen 3 another benefit of the S 5 screen is the fact that you can use it even when you have gloves on which can be a big advantage if you live in a colder climate for like I mentioned earlier the s5 doesn't have on-screen buttons and instead has a physical home in two capacitive buttons which in addition to freeing up screen real estate can also be used as shortcuts with the app switcher button acting as a Menu key and the back button acting as a multi window toggle when being long pressed reason number five speaking of multi window the Galaxy S five allows you to use two apps on the screen at the same time giving you a significantly better multitasking experience than anything you can get on the HTC One 6 with a 16 megapixel sensor the Galaxy s5s camera has four times the resolution found on the HTC ones making for much sharper and more detailed photos 7 but it's not just the photos that benefit from the high pixel count as the galaxy s5 can also record videos at up to 4k resolution which again is four times higher than the HTC one's 1080 be eight while 4k video and 16 megapixel photos are great they do end up creating larger file sizes but thankfully Samsung equipped the galaxy s5 with a USB 3.0 port which when connected to a computer not only transfers files faster but also charges up the battery quicker than the USB 2.0 port found on the Asian c-19 because the power button sits at right about where your thumb naturally rests the Galaxy s5 is much easier to turn on and off compared to the HTC One where the power button is someone in conveniently placed all the way up top reason number 10 love it or hate it the Galaxy s5 is made out of mostly plastic but the advantage of using plastic is the phone ends up being a lot lighter thinner and is generally more grippy than the mostly metal HTC 111 and on top of that the plastic build allows for the s5 to have a removable back cover which opens the door to Samsung's wireless charging kit that when installed allows you to charge the galaxy s5 without ever having to plug it in 12 but the back cover isn't the only thing that's removable as the 21 hundred million battery is removable as well giving you the opportunity to either swap it out with a fully charged spare or even get an extended battery if you so desire 13 unlike the HTC One the galaxy s5 is ip67 certified meaning that it is both dust and water resistant which can potentially save your phone from getting damaged due to the elements 14 with Samsung's s finder feature you can search through your entire phone to find exactly what you're looking for regardless of whether what you're looking for is in a contact a calendar event a notes an app a text message or just about anything else you can think of all from one convenient place reason number 15 so that home button we're talking about earlier isn't just a home button it's also a fingerprint scanner which allows you to securely unlock the s5 with a swipe of a finger and not just that it can also be used as a password for apps like PayPal 16 with the toolbox feature on the Galaxy S 5 you can have a persistent floating menu on the screen wherever you go giving you access to up to five customizable apps making switching back and forth between them quick and easy 17 with the Galaxy s5s private mode you can hide just about any file on your phone like a picture or video for example which will only be visible to you when the password-protected private mode is enabled 18 another mode on the galaxy s5 is easy mode which may not be something you fumble to ever use but it's a great feature for those who aren't as tech-savvy with it converting the phone into a super simple interface with extra large text 19 if you ever run into some kind of emergency on the galaxy s5 you can triple press the power button to have the phone automatically send a text message to the people on your emergency contact list giving them your location a picture from the front and rear cameras and a sound recording so that way they can get an idea of what's actually happening to you reason number 20 speaking of emergencies you might just be able to avoid one by staying on top of your health with the Galaxy s5s built-in heart rate monitor and s health app where you can not only measure your heart rate but also keep track of your diet and exercise 21 unlike the HTC One in the galaxy s5 settings you have a dedicated menu for your phone's default applications which make managing your default apps like a browser or even a custom launcher a little bit easier 22 when you have a missed notification and pick the galaxy s5 up it'll automatically vibrate letting you know about it so that way you won't have to turn the screen on and off every time you grab your phone in order to check for missed notifications 23 on the topic of notifications the galaxy s5 notification shade offers easy access to up to nine customizable toggles while also giving you quick control over your displays brightness whereas on the HTC One S notification shade you only get a button for quick settings 24 if you're the type of person who still makes and receives voice calls every now and again you'll appreciate the incall options found on the galaxy s5 which range from a non obtrusive way of notifying you of a call when you're using an app to being able to record a memo with the call information automatically filled in all right we're finally here reason number 25 unlike the HTC One on the galaxy s5 you can interact with the screen without ever having to physically touch it with air view interview lets you get pop-up previews of what your finger is hovering over which can be helpful in certain situations like when you're trying to remember which speed dial number was assigned to who without having to actually dial it in order to find all right so that's it for the galaxy s5 version of this video and if you haven't seen the HTC ones version yet it'll be annotated somewhere on this screen or link down in the description but before I leave you I want to give a big shout
