Top 5 HTC One M8 Alternatives [January, 2015]

Sony Xperia Z3

The Sony Xperia Z3 may not have the biggest or flashiest name but this is a phone that excels in virtually all key areas making it a phone worth considering in the month of January. It's certainly a top HTC One M8 competitor. 

Sony's latest flagship smartphone delivers a superb design, excellent camera, useful software, fantastic battery life, and a very speedy processor. It's also an extremely affordable smartphone and one that should continue to get software support as we push deeper into its life span. 

This is a phone that we highly recommend and it's one that we think you absolutely must compare to the HTC One M8 before buying at the start of the year. Trust us on this one.

    One thing that is a strong argument, and what is almost always forgotten by reviewers, is how the design drastically changes the durability of the hardware.
    I had an LG G2, which I absolutely loved. Awesome phone, both performance and looks (my subjective view though). However, I had 3 broken screens in 6 months. Sure, often it is a matter of bad usage. But to my defense, I’ve never had any cracked screens or broken devices. I am usually not throwing my electrical devices into the ground or dropping them into a gear linkage of an Swedish Army Forces ATV truck (Yeah…my beloved Galaxy S2, may you rest in peace!). At first I thought my LG was haunted by the envious ghost of Steve Jobs (Too soon? Naaah!), but when thinking it over it is clear what was the problem.

    The front of the G2 is almost entirely covered with the screen. Sure it looks good, but all the forces of impacts (however small!) are applied directly into the side of the glass which is not usually the direction high toughness glass is designed to withstand. This makes the screen really sensitive to impacts (hence, the destruction of my otherwise good reputation as a careful user).

    Hopefully LG did some recalculation when they updated the G2 to G3, but I really doubt it. It looks the same and I hardly think they would make the effort and taking the cost of changing the screen manufacturer just because of an dissatisfied swede…

    Just a thought. A very long thought. Love the G2, think the G3 looks awesome! But would not buy it again after all the screen changing…
