Samsung Galaxy S5 LTE vs HTC M8 vs Sony Xperia Z2 specs comparison
There's nothing like a triple threat match between today's smartphone heavyweights. In one corner, we have the newly announced Samsung Galaxy S5 LTE-A. This South Korean pretender has an impossibly dense display, thick hardware muscle, and represents an established legacy of champions. Is this enough to announce it as a winner, though?
Think hard, because you won't be a fool to bet on the HTC One (M8) - a mighty fighter from Taiwan that comes clad in a metallic armor and carries two cameras that deliver photographic punches in style. Third, coming all the way from Japan, we have the Sony Xperia Z2 - a fiery warrior known for heated battles. While its fists are capable of devastating fury, this happens to be the Z2's weak spot - sometimes the heat gets too intense, and that's when its opponents choose to deliver their lethal blows.
So, which one do you choose?
