HTC One M8

If you want a cheap smartphone with a metal design, and you probably do given that you're looking at the iPhone 5, we suggest taking a look at the HTC One M8, HTC's current flagship.

The HTC One M8 comes with a beautiful aluminum design, an excellent camera, fantastic software including HTC's Sense UI, an upcoming Android 5.0 Lollipop update, tons of carriers, and more. This is a very solid smartphone and one that is now extremely cheap thanks to a year on shelves.

Please do yourself a favor and rule this phone out before going with a now two-year old iPhone 5. You'll be happy that you did. Trust us on that.
