I am either going to get the HTC one or moto x but I am really on the fence about which is better for me. I really care about battery and data connectivity moztly. I would like to root and use custom roms if either allows that. I did see the HTC one beats the moto x in display sharpness but the moto x beats in brightness which is important to me. What do you guys suggest?

TBH, I would take the MotoX right now. I like the size of the MotoX, the always on features, and the battery life on it. I think it'd be a better choice for me based on the fact that I do not game as much as I used to.
I was in your boat about a month ago and the real selling point to me was the design, speakers and the camera on the HTC one. And it's a powerhouse with impressive battery life. Plus the TV app is prett neat. Aside from all that, the features on the X seem much more practical and it's a great price.
That is such a toss up right now. I think I would go with the Moto X, I really like the active notifications.
But don't get me wrong,.I love my HTC One.

I have the One on Verizon, and my girlfriend has the Moto X on Verizon.
I love the build quality, solid feel, front facing speakers, and Sense UI of the One. It is an awesome phone, my only real critiques are the camera, that it doesn't have a 3 soft-touch-button layout like my old DNA, and that ViperONE isn't officially supported yet
However, Motorola is on fire with the Moto X, I have to admit. It is an awesome "daily driver" phone, and Motorola is hitting a grand slam with their fast updates, the way they are updating some of the native apps through the Play Store, etc, they are just doing an awesome job with this phone. I've never really liked Motorola or their phones, but I have to acknowledge that I really like what I'm seeing from them and hope that other manufacturers catch on.
I like not only the ideas that Motorola is implementing with the Moto X, as mentioned above, but the actual product itself. It is a very nice quality feeling phone, with good build quality, the perfect size, and excellent performance. I haven't ever been tempted this much by a non-HTC phone..if I could snag one for <$300 on Craigslist, I would probably pick one up to flirt with.
I didn't buy into the Moto X hype until my girlfriend ordered a Motomaker Moto X, and I've got to toy around with it. I see what all the hype is about now.
I guess I can't believe I am saying this, as an HTC fan, but Moto X. I think it will offer the best day to day performance for the average user, with the least amount of bugs or hiccups. If you consider yourself a power user, grab the One.
Not sure how soon you're considering it, but at this point we might only be 2-4 months from the HTC M8 (successor to the One), and it could be worth the wait? Keep that in mind.. although who knows how long we'd have to get that phone on Verizon.

Ah well I went with the moto x and then someone offered me a mint HTC one with cases 32gb for 370 after I paid 360 for a new moto x. Ug I think I would of taken the HTC one due to its nice metal construction but got the moto x otw so I will keep that. Do you guys recommend to root the moto x or keep it stock? Hopefully the moto x is better on battery than the HTC one

I got the Diztronic clear case for my lady.
The HTC one is my preference. I am VERY interested in the MotoX I wish I had one to play around with, if I had the extra cash I'd easily grab it for a "back-up"/bring to concerts so I don't hurt my htc one lol, but I have played with it and reallllly enjoyed it.
Also not a big moto guy, first (smart) phone was OG Moto, which i exchanged within the 30 days (the good old days before crApple) and got the HTC Eris, that started my HTC Love.
But I would honestly also highly suggest looking into both deeply and consider the options, I know Moto usually has boot strap which is pretty amazing, but HTC one is s-off (well unfortunately not anymore until the new OTA gets/if updated..)
so yea, this is a tough one
I also hate saying it, but I am interested in the Samsung Galaxy S5, if made from metal like the rumors, would be a much bigger competitor to HTC.
I still prefer HTC, but I thoroughly enjoyed both the SG3, and SG4. Both un-expectedly phones I loved and won't sell. Unless maybe to fund the MotoX, might be time to dump s4 for the MotoX, but the sg3 will be one of those phones like the HTC One, that just won't even get sold.
Keep in mind that another great option is the Droid Maxx--if you want great battery life. It is basically the same phone as the Moto X with a better battery and better build quality, but no motomaker.
But I think other than the battery the One is a much better phone. Best option now is to wait until the M8 or the galaxy s5 is out.

I also just made the switch from the One to the Moto X, and so far I'm quite happy. I bought the developer edition, since I like to tinker with custom roms and can't be bothered with safestrap.
I do miss the solid feel of the One, though.
HTC One 100%! But I'd still tell you to go to the store amd try them all out to see what you like best. Really depends on your needs.

If the Moto X didn't have an AMOLED screen, i'd probably go with that. The over-saturated colors and decreased visibility in outdoors really kills it for me. I do like the overall package though.

and dont forget to share your experience of using new phone
I have been asking myself this question a lot lately.
I'm loving my One, but I've had to work really hard to get the battery to something even half way decent. I'd love to play with an X for an extended period to see how much different the ergonomics, speed and screen quality are for me.
But it sounds like all of the X converts are very pleased. Either way, I'm sure you can't go wrong.
___________________________
OP - I realize that last bit I wrote wasn't actually helpful in any fashion. My apologies.
However, you said you're mainly concerned with battery life and data connectivity. I think with that being the case, you'd be happier with the X. By most accounts, battery life is phenomenal with high screen times, and the Motorola Radio's are typically some of the best I've used for signal and speed.
Don't let the specs on paper fool you either. Even though the X has a 720p display, it's still a fantastic screen. Also, just from playing with a couple of the X's my friends own, it's one of the most comfortable devices I've held lately. And the X8 architecture seems to be about as responsive as my One in most every task.
The X definitely has things well figure out from what I have seen and with what seems to be substantially more longevity vs the One, it may be the route you want to go.

Hey guys, Saw this thread over on the TF prime forums and thinking its needed here.
So im probs gonna be picking up a One X, mainly cos i think its a amazing phone. But heading into this forum, and its pretty much plagued with negative threads about what isnt working, why they dislike the phone etc... and it generally gives a really bad air about the phone. :/
So, in order to restore some pride for the One X, post here what you like about the phone.
I will go first, i havent even got it yet, but i love
1. The screen
2. Sense 4.0 i think is beautiful, fast and initiative.
3. the size and weight etc are just perfect.
what are your favourite parts of the One X?
The screen, not only does it look fantastic, it feels fantastic.
The weight....this phone is so light!
The camera...best cameraphone i've experienced, how far technology has come compared to 10 years ago
The speed...instantaneous opening of apps
1.The camera! Really is amazing..
2.The screen..just wow
3.The speed
Screen is amazing. Originally I wanted a one s, but after seeing them side by side the choice was obvious. I also didn't plan to use my phone for games originally, but tegra is superb - shadowgun is unbelievable for a handheld (or even Xbox360)
Camera is super fast - I can take pics and vids of my toddler (who certainly doesn't stay still for long) no probs

hey buddy yes i have. will miss checkrom and yeah the s2 community but to be honest the guys here are great as well and development is even greater. no spoiled brat devs and not one that thinks he is the dog's bollocks..the devs here are great and are amazing and roms man are just great...so many tweaks, and man development has only just began give it time and this development can only get better.
i was going for the s3. but the deal i got here with the HOX i could not turn it down. Plus i love sense. anyways great to see you here and look forward to chatting to you soon again..hit me up if you need any hand sometime
To be honest, I have not experienced *any* problems with my HOX.
Definitely the best part is the screen. The backlight is so even that the display almost looks like a sticker on top of the screen
Speed is fantastic, I LOVE Sense 4. In some respect it's like an iPhone for Android: it just works. Just better. I am running the unlocked stock image and I have to admit, I don't miss a thing (except TomTom for Android but that's a different story). Ten thumbs up from me.
No problems here only excellence. Had two different colors no problems on either. Only excellence. Party on

I have not but can say that stock google is probably the only plus vs this
The screen, the raw power, the screen, the flawless build quality, the screen, the camera (best one HTC had ever made), the screen and... did I mentioned that the screen is awesome? Like someone here said - images looks like a sticker, not a LCD image. Colors are great, pixel density is great, backlight is even, daylight visibility is good enough. I love the gentle haptic feedback of the keyboard, it almost feels like a real keyboard. Build quality is just what you should expect from HTC - excellent. No cracks, no squeaks, no cheap feel. The sound is fantastic (I was lucky enough to get urBeats headphones as a gift for being one of the first 500 to get the phone).
Last but not least - the community. HTC owners on this great forum have always been the friendliest devs I have ever seen and once the S3 is released hopefully the sSheep will stop with their bashing of the phone (mostly based on watching YouTube videos and reading reviews from sites that marvel the idiocy of the iPhone and the messed colors of the amoleds).

The screen...I absolutely love how beautiful it is, looks stunning against the black/white of the chassis. O, and the chassis. Smooth to the touch, lightweight and not at all "too big" (as some of my friends suggest). The camera is simply amazing.
I love Sense, always have, and with this device, I think HTC have really stepped up to the plate. ICS is just awesome.
I waited a long time to upgrade my Desire, kept putting it off and putting it off...Desire S, hmmm, not yet...Incredible, hmmm, not yet...Sensation, maybe...but not yet. OneX, yep sold. Stunning phone, have had no problems whatsoever. Love everything about it!
The crazy fast camera! Let's you take candid shots without blur
The screen makes everything jump out. And I'm just hooked on Sense. I always find small functionalities and details that describes well thought-out design and UI, despite complaints about its bloat.
One X to rule them all

Hi guys,
I really need your help to decide on whether or not I should trade my Galaxy Note for the HTC One X. I currently have the international version of the Note but since last week I have been hating it for the following reasons:
1) I installed ICS update on it and it's really garbage. The Touchwiz skin really makes ICS update not apparent at all.
2) Buggy official ROM. As you might be aware, there is a currently superbrick bug on the Galaxy Note even for official ROM. The phone will be bricked permanently after a wipe in CWM. The one to be blamed for this is of course Samsung.
Because of these bad supports, I am kinda leaning toward trading in my Notes for the One X. However, I heard some bad points about the One X too such as bad battery life, bad multitasking (especially since last update) and being too hot and got throttled down.
Can you guys share your opinions on this ? I tried the One X out at the store and I quite like the feels of holding the One X. Just try to look for some advice before I decide.
Thanks and cheers for your help,
Well I traded my note for a one x and I'm so glad I did while I was impressed by the note the one x is such a beautiful phone
Yes the battery life isn't as great but what phone these days has a battery that will last forever lol
Nevertheless HTC are bringing updates out quite frequently so I expect this phone to improve in areas that people are complaining about I haven't had any problems so can't comment

HTC One X why pay $200 extra for basically the same thing that next year will be out of date anyways. Plus the One X rocks! Use the search their are plenty of comparisons.
I have both Galaxy Note and One X I love the One X display compared to the note it really is an amazing looking screen the apps and widgets just sit on top like their floating on water and phones all around design is killer. Everyone that has saw it has been amazed. I can't see paying an extra $200 for the GS3, I just don't see much of a difference yeah the GS3 will probably beat the One X in benchmarks but not by that much that you are really going to be able to tell during everyday use.
The one X has handled everything I've thrown at it so far. and by the time it wont be able to run an app or game it will be time to upgrade anyways.
Its personal preference pay $200 more for the s3 or buy the One X and be happy with a phone that is amazing. 32GB with 25GB dropbox is enough for me I remember trying to fill 16GBs and it was hard and if I need to I can move things back and forth from my computer with a simple USB cord.

LOL, I was asking about the Note ha ha but thanks anyway. I currently have the Note and wondering if I should go HTC One X next. I am sick of how irresponsible Samsung are. The Note will be my last Samsung phone.
Hello
I too came from a note for a one x.
The beauty of the one x is far superior, over the years HTC have worked hard on presentation among other things, samsungs stock, im an oversized iphone look hasnt changed in years.
When it comes too stability browsing, the Note beats the HTC into submission im afraid, but this is because it runs a solid and stable GB os, far superior to the crappy versions of ics we run on the htc, and before anyone jumps in screaming ICS rocks, wake up, if you think ICS is bug free and the finished article then youre clearly not seeing the facts. GB is more stable, but there again, its been around a lot longer, i expect ics will be just as good when it is the polished article.
The note was way too clumsy as a phone, one of the reasons i gave up on it, the one x is much nicer in every design way possible, plus the one x has superior power over the note, and i wouldnt worry about battery, i get a day from my one x, thats no different to what my note gave me.
The main reason i left the note was because the custom development side of the note forum on here became a massive issue for me, too many releases were responsible for bricking peoples Notes beyond repair, it became unsafe to flash custom software from over there, not that im blaming anyone, great group of lads, but the minute that happened i lost all faith.
The development just became a Miui thread in the end practically, it was time to move on, ive had a htc before and i know on here, some of the developers and cooks have a very very good reputation, one of the reasons i chose HTC because i know when these lads finally get to grips with the s-on problem there will be no end to the development, and the note hasnt even had official ics yet, what a joke, i think with android 5.0 around the corner, the future of htc and one x is safe on this forum, youll get updates a lot faster than on samsung.
Horses for courses my friend, it is your choice, but i agree with toonarmy, HTC ONE X, bring it on, it can only get better from here on.
Read my post on the guys thread who was asking GSIII or One X Rom support
Thanks for your informative post. That's true though. I have the Galaxy S, S2 and now the Note and I feel they are pretty much the same. The Touchwiz skin turns out to be worse than I initially thought. To make it worse, they cover ICS native skin with this fugly skin and make it so fugly beyond repairs.
To top it off, because of the superbrick bug, I am so scared to flash any official ROM and to even update my device to official ICS ROM. This really killed the whole purpose of getting an Android phone, which is to do whatever you like with it.
Beside, I did some wipes when I was in ICS and according to the guys in the Galaxy Note forum, my eMMC might have been damaged. I really don't want to deal with all the warranty repair hassle so it might be the right time for me to get rid of my Note.

Take the One X and you won`t be sorry. I had the Note and i didn`t use the whole pen utility`s (notes and drawings). I just loved the big screen and the powerfull cpu. But the amount of pixels slowed it down quite heavily in performance.
The One X seems snappier and more direct imo.

My bad I'm so used to post saying should i get SG3 or One X, man that drives me crazy.... They both are good in their own rights. But anyways once again my bad just a little jumpy with all the SG3 or One X post I see. People need to search and their are already hundreds.................X10 SG3 or One X post.
I should have added some useful info since I own both. Here is how I see it the Note is a good PDA IMO. Its just doesn't have the feel of a phone to me, its not really good to carry around for everyday use. Its nice size screen for certain things I use mine like a tablet basically. I just needed something I could carry in my pocket and the note just didn't really fit right, I don't really like touch-wiz it feels like you are still on gingerbread, the way its designed. The display kills it when trying to watch a video it shows artifacts in the blacks, like really old .AVI videos. Thats just my personal opinion.
I think, htc one x. Sound is good, lighter and more compact than note.

My friend has the note, and I did a quick comparison with my one X.
The one X is super smooth scrolling between homescreens etc, wheras there is a noticeable lag on the note, in nearly everything.
The screen is good on the note, but the one X is so much better, in both colour reproduction and of course pixel density
And the one X is really nice to hold and use on an everyday basis, whereas the note is unwieldy and too shiny, so really slippery in hand

For me it's simples, build and feel quality. Samsung consistently produce sub-par products in the quality of materials department........and that's being kind.
HTC have always produced premium feeling hardware and the HOX is no exception.
Note or One X
Had my HTC one X for a week now and very happy with it. Previously had a Galaxy S and wasn't impressed with the Touch Wiz interface so that put me off the Note as did the size ,thought 5.3 inch was a little OTT.
Very happy with it so far. The stock Rom runs very smooth even with the Vodafone clutter installed. If it carries on as it is now i wont even look at custom ROM as there will be no point.
Only downer is the battery but as pointed out by someone earlier that's the deal with a smartphone . I charge once a day and although i would like it to last longer i can cope. Think those of us who have had a few smartfones now accept we have to manage the battery ourselves so if im at work and not using it i turn to 2g, brightness down and turn off auto sync and i can get from 9-6 with 91% left then i can go mad with all the bells and whistles on when im out and about with worry. Seems like a hassle altering the settings for different situations but it only takes 20 seconds in reality with a few well places shortcuts.
Love the feel as well, very hard to let slip in the hand unless some more plastic y phones.
Now I think HTC one x quality is perfect rather than the first batch of phones.. I got the first batch also with flaws but HTC swapped it with a perfect one.. ht24 serial rather than ht23.. by the way, I held the note side by side to my one x and the camera and screen of the one x is much superior than the note IMHO.. the guys posted before is right same old style, feel and interface with galaxy series nothing new just the size rather than sense UI..

I have both and I like both.
I prefer One X cause it's more portable and has clearly a better screen. GNote has the advantage (while One X doesn't get S-OFF) of allowing to install custom roms without voiding warranty and of the bigger screen, which really makes a difference for e-reading.
I have both and I have ended up using the One X more. There are things that I really love about the note, but the updates and ICS on it are a let down. I for one really like sense and have since win mo days. To each his own
Hello
I am planning to buy HTC One X international version for about 468$ from a local store where I can test it and so on. I now wonder if I should wait for a newer phone release within the same price range or wait for HTC One X price to drop more or maybe even wait until the HTC One X+ price drop and get it instead .
So
Get The One X now for 468$
Or
Wait until it becomes cheaper like 400$ or so few weeks later
Or
Wait for the One X+ price drops to 468$ and that way I get the better version for the same price of the old one
Or
Wait for 2013 phones to be released and get one of them instead or get the One X really cheap .
What do you guys think ? It is worth waiting and for how long ?
It's a good phone, but the One X+ is obviously better. (It's not much of difference, imo). But the price is a bit too high. You can score the X for a better price through sellers here or on eBay...

I just got a One X myself and it is a pretty decent phone but if i had the chance to go back buy a different phone i certainly would.
Firstly the battery life isn't very good i have had a lot of problems with battery.
Secondly i have had a lot of reboots and freezes with the stock ROM this might be something to do with me being with Three who are useless and haven't provided important updates etc to us.
If you can get the s3 or Nexus 4 get one of them, if you are into iOS get the iPhone you know the phone is going to be stable, get updates on time etc.
Like i said the One X is a decent phone but it does have its problems
Good Luck with you're new phone
I think the One X is a VERY good phone. Obviously there is a smudge of bias on my opinion as I own one but from having used an S3 for a 1 month period before deciding that I didn't want it, I can tell you why ***In my opinion*** the One X beats it
Firstly, the screen is devastatingly beautiful, the colors are amazing, it's got sublime viewing angles near 180 degrees if i'm honest and it's just brilliant for watching HD content on, plus the screen is big enough that you can actually appreciate media content on the screen. Being picky when it comes to screens, it pains me everytime I use the S3 and I can see the pentile pixel grid and all the whites have a green tint to them.
Tegra 3, now I know it's a bit of a gimmick, but it gives a noticable difference in graphical quality than any comparible phone without tegra such as the Nexus 4 or the S3, also works beautifully with the screen
Design, much like the One X's screen, it's body is really well styled, the materials feel very premium and the handset just feels good, the design just has that wow factor which I felt when I first saw the HTC Legend. The S3 in this category cannot hold a candle to the one x, when I feel that glossy polycarbonate, my mind scream CHEAAAAPP!! I know it's not and I know it's the same material that the One X uses but it just doesn't feel like a £400 phone should. Also opening up the battery cover on the white version, you just see disgusting cheap white plastic everywhere which for a picky person like me isn't that great.
Camera, now this is a very subjective area and I much prefer the pictues the One X produces, the S3's pics feel very very saturated in terms of colors where I feel the One X is more representative of the true color, again, this is entirely subjective and that's how I felt.
Sense UI is amazing, yes it's heavy and yes it's buggy sometimes but it's so much more polished than Touchwiz feels and I just like the interface more, there's more "customisability" and it's a nice nice interface to use. I prefer the vanilla android UI just because it's really good nowadays but at the time of purchasing, there were no other phones that bragged the same specs which came with stock Android, and even now if I could change the One X for the Nexus 4, I don't think I would for the reasons above.
Final reason I got a One X is because I really like the fact no one knows what it is and that not many people own one. It's like an exclusive club which people who appreciate Sense can join!
We seem to have veered off topic.
Waiting is a mugs game, it'll always get cheaper, there will always be something better coming along.
What BenPope said. Basically the choices boil down to pretty much buying One X+ if you can afford it, otherwise One X, or you could wait for about a year (or longer) for Tegra 4 devices to come at around mentioned price range.
I bought One X about two weeks ago and all I can say is that I don't regret that decision for a moment.

It's a good phone, but the One X+ is obviously better. (It's not much of difference, imo). But the price is a bit too high. You can score the X for a better price through sellers here or on eBay...

Thank you all guys . I've decided to wait until Nexus 4 32GB is released so I will get one or I'll get
the 16GB version instead .. when it is available in stock... Anyway , Nexus 4 seems my final choice ... Thanks again for your suggestions :good:
Long time lurker as you can tell but this M8 has me quite interested in jumping ship from my Nexus 5. Has anyone made this same jump? Regrets or thoughts? The Nexus 5 is a very bland but solid device, IMO. The One M8 looks pretty much awesome. Thanks for the replies.
Currently have been using the G2, N5, and now M8, the M8 is a great device, something about how it looks and feels makes me want to use it more, but I am also an AOSP fan, both the N5 and One are smooth when it comes to general usage, once AOSP is on my M8 I probably won't carry my N5 around.
I would say why not? The biggest thing you'll gain is far superior battery life. Well you'll get a MicroSD slot too, but that's almost useless unless HTC fixed the writing permissions. Or if you root (which is likely), you can manually fix it.
I decided to go ahead and order the developer version from HTC. The fact that the Nexus 5 is SO stripped of any kind software enhancements is one of the things I dislike about it while I love that theres none of the att bloat. Tried the Note3 but good grief is it huge. And while the stylus is cool I never, ever used it.
Ive had my Nexus rooted with custom rom up until it started rebooting all the time and just put it back to stock. Now the battery life and signal are back to horrible, lol.
Anyway, hoping the dev edition gives me the best of both worlds. Some of the HTC stuff but none of the bloat.

Yep! The Moto X is also pretty great, and I've considered cancelling my M8 order for a DE one. I used it in store and it's actually really nice. Probably gonna stick with the M8 because it's so much newer though XD
I think about to switch from my "Nexus 5" to the "HTC One M8", but I'm not sure yet. Is it worth it in your opinion?
It looks really very elegant, but does it runs just as smooth without bucking like the Nexus?
Does anyone have a direct comparison between the two phones?
How about if you start games or apps, is the HTC faster?
It has really nice features, such as with the tap to the screen.
How it looks with the battery power? Does it last as long as the Nexus? Or is it even better?

Depends so much on what do you want from phone. Gf has N5 and I have M8. My battery lasts longer, her device gets faster updates, both have about same kind of camera quality but not in the same way etc etc. If you want a flagship device you get M8 but if you already have N5 I'd wait for the prices to drop or maybe Nexus 6 or some other new model.

I am very happy with my Nexus, but HTC looks very high quality and has a newer processor. But my Nexus is not old, so I do not know if it's worth it at all.
One reason to buy it would be the front speakers and the Unibody

I made the move from the Nexus 5 to the M8 and I can tell you without a doubt that the experience on the M8 is greatly superior to the Nexus 5. I used to love the bare-bone nature of the Nexus/GPe device but since using this new M8 with the new Sense 6 I have been converted to the HTC way of using android.
Also the build quality and feel of the device on its own just did it for me. The Nexus 5 has been a great device for the last 6 months but it is no comparison for the way the M8 looks and feels. I'm usually the first in my circle of friends and family to get a new phone and since my purchase of the M8 on launch day I can assure you that everyone has been admiring my M8 with envy (this includes all the Apple lovers).
The camera on the M8 is brilliant to mess about with and the user interface is extremely well thought out compared to the stock android interface. BUT I can confirm that in reality the camera quality is not even on par with the Nexus 5 never mind the S4 that my other half uses. I am a photography enthusiast and own loads of DSLR's and can inform you this with some expert knowledge.
Now the battery life on the M8 just blows the Nexus 5 to pieces. I can easily go full day and half of M8 use, this is in comparison to me only getting 3/4 of a day from the Nexus 5.
In conclusion my Nexus 5 has hardly seen use since the day I got the M8 and will soon be finding a new home with one of my friends. My advice would be to upgrade and you will not be dissapointed.

I am on Verizon and considering this as the phone to get for my upgrade, I currently have a DNA which I love. However it doesn't seem like a substantial upgrade from the DNA.
Rumor has it that the Sony Xperia z2 is coming to Verizon, should I wait for that as it seems like a bigger upgrade.. my options are rather limited on Verizon. I dislike Samsung.

I was in the same boat. I had the DNA as well, which I loved until the last update which made my phone very sluggish overall. Text messaging became super slow and crashed often, even after a reset. So upgrading was as close to a no-brainer as you could get. Even still, I loved my DNA phone. I am not big on Samsung phones, they feel very cheap to me and I feel Samsung is the Apple equivalent in the Android world so I am against them as far as phones. So when the M8 was announced, I was pretty excited. Went to Verizon last week to test it out. I read about all the complaints. Phone is too big, camera sucks, too heavy, etc. Needless to say I wasn't expecting much so I was surprised when I got there.
My comparison to the DNA... Worth the upgrade. The DNA is pretty big already and so the size and weight is not noticed. The M8 actually feels lighter in the hand, maybe due to me finding it more comfortable to hold. Looks-wise, no caparison and build-wise, no comparison. The M8 is better in both. I think it takes great pictures, no difference I see from my DNA and I love the additional camera features. The M8 is blazing fast and so smooth. The DNA was nice, the M8 is awesome. My buddy has a GS4 and when he picked up my phone his first comment was "damn this this fast!". Also, SD card is available now, so bonus there. No removable battery, but not a deal breaker for me as battery life is easily 1.5x that on what I was getting on the DNA.
When I got the DNA, I loved it. Then the original HTC One came out and I was a little upset I didn't wait a touch to get that but after comparing them, I felt that it was an incremental upgrade and would not be worth the cost. The M8 is a major revision compared to the DNA and is worth it. If you are unsure, wait it out until the Z2 comes out and go to compare them all.
Thank you for this, now I'd feel better about the transition from the DNA to the m8, however the DNA is still running very smooth atm for me do it is hard to retire the phone. If Sony doesn't announce anything soon then I may just get the m8.
HTC doesn't do the whole 2 flagship phones a year like Sony right? There isn't gonna be a m8 max or something in near future? Also it's this phone water proof?

I'm also considering making the switch. In my case I have the note 2. My note is still running smoothly with a custom rom but I am so attracted to the m8 aluminum build as well as the front speakers. I'm also curious about the new LG g3 (rumors say it might have an aluminum body). I also want to update before the loophole closes to keep my unlimited data with Verizon. I'm not attracted to the s5. I wonder if there will be a new m8 Max? Decisions, decisions!
