this Baumbach video series is brought to you by $6.00 shirts what's up guys david here from fumble fan the Samsung Galaxy s5 and the HTC One m8 or arguably to the best Android smartphones out right now so in this two-part video series we're going comparing the two but we're not gonna be doing your typical comparison and instead like we usually do here in the channel we're gonna be doing it foam of style where we look at 25 reasons why each of these phones can be considered better than the other and that way after watching both videos 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 the HTC One has a beautiful all-metal build that just screams quality everything from the ones unibody design to the way it's cold when you pick it up in the morning makes it feel like a premium device which is something you can't really say about the Galaxy s5s more plastic materials - in addition to the build quality the curved design on the back of the one makes it slightly more ergonomic fitting a bit more comfortably and naturally in the palm of your hand 3 speaking to the back you notice that there's not one but two cameras on the m8 the second of which is used for recording depth information allowing for things like post capture refocusing and a host of other pretty cool effects for while the m8 s camera has a lesser amount of total pixels each of his pixels or while HTC likes to call ultra pixels are bigger and therefore bringing more light to the sensor resulting in better-looking photos in low light conditions reason number five but lo liabilities can only take you so far so HTC equipped the new one with dual LED flashes which together give you better and more natural-looking light than the single LED found on the galaxy s5 6 with HTC Zoe you can take a brush out of up to 20 photos and continue to record a full on video at the same time but maybe best of all Zoe captures a few photos before you even press the shutter button to help make sure you don't lose any of those Kodak moments due to a slow reaction time 7 like it or not we live in a world where her selfies are a thing and with the HTC One you can capture those selfies in high resolution with better low-light performance on the MH five megapixel front-facing camera eight while this one can ultimately come down to personal preference most people agree that sense six on the HTC one offers a better looking or at the very least a more consistent looking UI then TouchWiz does on the Galaxy S five nine and maybe more importantly the Sense UI on the m8 is less cluttered than TouchWiz on the s5 making things like finding a certain setting to switching camera modes a bit easier reason number ten probably the future that the HTC One is best known for the m8 has dual front-facing stereo speakers which not only delivers significantly louder sound in the Galaxy S five they also deliver much better quality sound as well making the s5 single rear speaker sound almost tinny in comparison eleven if you accidentally drop and crack the m8 screen HTC offers a free one-time repair for customers that are within the first six months of their ownership twelve another HTC advantage is the fact that some of the HTC exclusive apps are on the Play Store which means HTC will be able to update and improve them quickly without having to do a full on system update that typically takes months to roll out due to carrier delays thirteen an example of one of those apps is the HTC gallery which has a unique image match feature where you can match an image to other similar images on your phone and create a whole new album from the matching images easily 14 unlike the Galaxy s5 the HTC One has a built-in FM radio which can be used with headphones to listen to your favorite stations without the need or use of an internet connection which can come in handy when you don't have data reception or or trying to save on data usage reason number 15 with motion launched you can pick the HTC One up and one straight into a variety of things like your homescreen blinkfeed or even the camera with the simple gesture making getting straight into what you want on your phone a lot faster and more efficient 16 when you receive a call on the m8 you can simply lift it to you're here to automatically answer the call without ever having to physically touch the screen 17 and thankfully you can set the e-ring volume to automatically lower when you pick the one up so that way you don't have to risk blasting your ears with those powerful boom sound speakers but you can also set the m82 the opposite where the ring volume gradually increases whenever the m8 detects that it's in your pocket or purse reducing the chances of you missing a call 18 if you ever happen to run low on storage space on the m8 you can go into the settings and use the make more space feature that allows you to clear cache delete apps and manage media all from one convenient location 19 both the galaxy s5 and the HTC One offers some sort of basic cloud backup option but with HTC backup the ma takes this one step further storing everything from your home screen layouts and blinkfeed sources to text messages in call history so if you ever needed to do a factory reset or replace your m8 you can easily restore nearly everything back to the way it was which can save hours of set-up time reason number 20 evidenced by the phone Bob style speed test we conducted while the HTC One and the Galaxy S five have the same processor the m8 has been shown to be faster time and time again with a generally snappier and more responsive experience 21 if you're the type of person who buys their phones at full retail price it's worth mentioning that depending on where you get your phones from the HTC One could be on average 20 to 30 dollars cheaper than the galaxy s5 22 but the bigger difference is what you get even when you're at the same price point for example on a standard two-year contract in the US both phones run for roughly $200 the difference is the HTC One comes with 32 gigabytes of storage whereas the galaxy s5 only comes with 16 making the HTC one a better value from a storage standpoint 23 since both of these phones are running Android both give you insight into the way you use the internet on your phone but the HTC One takes this one step further and also gives you insight into your calls and messages giving you a better sense of how you use everything that your carrier may be charging you for 24 while the flap on the Galaxy s5s charging port provides an advantage that you'll hear about in the Galaxy s5s version of this video it does come with a drawback in that it can be annoying to open and close every time you want to charge the phone which is something you won't have to worry about on the HTC One alright we're finally here reason number 25 many of us use our smart phones to stay connected to the world around us and with HTC blinkfeed the m8 makes it easier to do with beautifully aggregating your social media accounts like Facebook Twitter and Instagram with your own hand-picked media sources from the thousands available all in one convenient feed which can keep you entertained for hours on end alright that about wraps up the HTC One version of this video so if you haven't already
