The fight Between Apple and Samsung seems to be a old story, a new competitor has now entered to compete with them and that's HTC. So anyone who is thinking to buy a new phone these days are confused between Apple IPhone 6 , Samsung Glalaxy S5 and HTC M8. There is a tough competition between three of them. IPhone seems to be selling for its brand name, brand loyalty etc, Samsung for its best android features but besides all this HTC M8 is also selling like hot cakes since its launch in March 2014 it has come up with one of the best selling android phones.
Lets see what exactly is the difference between all three of them. I was a Sansung fan till i started using Apple4S, and i became a apple fan from then till apple 5S but personally i couldn't find much difference between Apple 5S and Apple 6 in its features, also the look wasn't appealing for me. So i moved to HTC M8 and guess what i am happy with it and so far loving it.
Talking about the design Galaxy S5 looses this race because of its cheap looking metallic sides & polycarbonated back as compared to that of Iphone 6 & HTC M8. Also i have herd that its the least scratch resistant.
So, after all my observation i feel even though the Galaxy S5 can theoretically feature more storage, has a longer battery life and better camera, the iPhone 6 countermands this for enterprise customers by offering improved security and better assurance that it will be able to receive future software updates.

Selecting from Iphone 6& HTC M8 is a little tricky as both have superb designs. The Iphone 6 will be a bit more comfortable in hand because of its lighter weight 129g as compared to that of HTC M8 160G also as IPhone 6 is comparatively smaller in size then the HTC M8.

When it comes to screen brightness the iPhone 6's 4.7in 750x1334 pixels 326ppi Retina HD display is the clear winner and easily outshines the One M8 and Galaxy S5. However, the iPhone 6 also features the lowest pixel per inch density of the three.
Now talking about the best thing, i am sure each girl in this world buys a cell phone after checking this feature in the phone. Yes you are right its a CAMERA.

While HTC keeps making a big deal about the One M8's 4.1MP UltraPixel rear camera, comparing it with the Galaxy S5's 16MP and iPhone 6's 8MP cameras i feel it was the clear loser when it comes to photo quality. Picking between the Galaxy S5 and the iPhone 6, i found the Samsung handset's 16MP sensor is superior.
Pitting the three handsets' front-facing cameras against one another, the iPhone 6's 1.2MP, Galaxy S5's 2MP and HTC One M8's 5MP front sensors were all more than good enough for video calling. So we may say that the One M8's 5MP front camera makes it better for selfies ;) .

Battery life is a problem on most smartphones and, despite work from hardware firms, most still struggle to make it more than one to two days from one charge. This remains true on the iPhone 6, Galaxy S5 and One M8, which are all unable to survive more than two full days from one charge. However, powered by a 1,810mAh battery the iPhone 6 was the worst of the three and generally lasts one to one and half days before dying.
