Just got new Android phone -- HTC One

I just got a Nokia lumia 1020 and I would tell people to look at that, BECAUSE of the camera @ 41 megapixels. I use it as a phone and a camera, don't know about all that other crap.

 

I have the HTC one , last year's model. It's a great phone but due to dropping it so much I need a new one soon. Thinking of switching to the LG G3, I can really see much of a difference between the One and the M8.

 

How's the battery life?

I had an HTC Thunderbolt a few years ago and it was crap and it literally took at least a minute to boot the phone up? How long does the One take?

 

Thanks for the info Anzir. I may be getting in a new phone next week. I'll have to give this serious consideration.

 

Just got the Samsung S5. Coming from an S3. So far so good. The fingerprint sensor is interesting.

 

Right now I'm leaning toward the S5. Water resistance is very important to me.

I'm also waiting to see if Verizon gets the Sony Z2.

The HTC is out for me. Its too long and again HTC continues to waste screen real estate with black bars top and bottom where almost no other phone does.

 

Picked up the S5 today. So far so good. Only had it bout a few hour's.

 

I'm not surprised as the same thing happened with the iphone. But I'll never use it. I wouldn't use it on any phone. I don't trust it.

 

I had the Thunderbolt when it first came out. The battery on that was a joke. Had to charge the thing twice a day even if I wasn't using it.

 

I just picked up an S5 from the store minutes ago. Dislike! Strictly due to the tactile feel of the phone, and that if my thumb is able to reach the opposite edge of the touchscreen, that means my fingertips are unable to hold the phone securely. And I have large hands!

I loved the S3. Maybe I should go back to it

 

I'd give it a few days. I got a case made by Tech21 and I find it much more secure in my hand.

So far with almost a week with the S5 I like it. The battery is fine and I am able to get through a full day with heavy use, although coming from a Maxx HD it is taking a bit to get used to. The big disappointment for me is the dictionary on the keyboard. It's absolutely terrible. Of course I can download other keyboards to fix this, but it shouldn't be this bad.

 

You talked me off the ledge. Got a case and screen protector and its much better tactile-wise.

 

My wife has just acquired an HTC M8 great phone very stylish but after my IPhone 5S oh so very complicated to learn and use.

I think it's got great potential and the guys in the know say its now " the one" however for guys like me ill stick with the one that's easiest to use.
