Here's our breakdown of how the HTC One M8 stacks up against the LG G3.

Pros and Cons of the HTC One M8:

The HTC One M8 has peaked to greatest heights in the hardware design department. In a long time, there has not been a phone so superior in designed and so compact features. There is also a space to fit in a microSD slot in such a slim device.

Honestly it is really hard to point any particular disadvantage of the phone. The camera is 4MP, which might be left behind by the higher resolutions competitors. The battery is non-replaceable as it is built-in.

Pros and Cons of the LG G3:

The extraordinarily beautiful and metallic screen is the biggest USP of the LG G3 model. The user interface has improved a lot. The Camera quality is quite good when the light is bright enough.

The overall hardware design is not that attractive. The chassis although is lightweight is visibly fragile.

Specs:

The screen size of the HTC One M8 is 5 inches, and the resolution is of 1080x1920 pixels. Internal memory of 16 or 32GB is available with a RAM of 2 GB. The external card slot is expandable up to 128GB. The OS is v4.4.2 (KitKat) and is upgradable to v4.4.3 (KitKat). The rear camera is Dual 4MP with a 5MP front camera. It supports all 2G, 3G and 4G network. The processor is Quad-core 2.3 GHz in U.S.

The internal memory of the LG G3 is 16GB with 2GB RAM and 32GB with 3GB. The processor is Quad-core 2.5 GHz Krait 400. The 5.5 inches screen has a resolution of 1440x2560 pixels. The rear and front cameras are 13MP and 2.1MP respectively. All 2G, 3G and 4G network is supported.

Talking Points:

The HTC One M8 is one of the most critically acclaimed smart phone both in design and performance in the recent years. The Phone has not been commercially successful so far.

The LG G3 is a strategic mistake by the company LG. To compete with the likes of Samsung and HTC in sleek design, they launched G3 in a rush earlier than scheduled. Thus it has failed to impress in many department.

Prices:

The price range of the HTC One M8 is between $550 and $650 depending on the color and memory size.

The LG G3 is available in $199.99.

Conclusion:

The HTC may not have been a commercial success, but the critical review it has got is going to boost its market in no time. LG G3 on the other hand is a disappointment after the grand success of its predecessor. We just hope LG learns the lesson and bring out the improved version in due time.
