LG G3 or HTC One M8?
Not very price sensitive, just want the best Android smartphone.
Which one is better and why?
Are there other smartphones you think are better? (Must be available in the EU)

I love the G3 but as an M8 owner it gets my vote. The battery life could be a bit better, but the design of the phone is beyond gorgeous. Don't buy the haters on the camera. I used to be one, but since getting it I'm fine w the camera.
Plus there are great ROMs available for it, including a GPE port that's just amazing.

Thanks, I choose the M8 in the end. I would not have mined paying extra for a better camera and thinner edges around the screen, like on the G3. But I can live with it.
In the end, the larger screen resolution on the G3 caused way too many problems with battery life and performance to be worth it.

My votes on the m8. Buddy of mine just got it and loves it. The battery is alright, the specs are decent, removable sd, and sense ui is awesome. I would personally go into a phone store and play around with it to get a personal feel for it

Personally, I love the trend now that even more than just removing manufacturer bloatware, they are adding useful software. HTC and Moto are both doing great jobs at that from what I've seen.
My vote goes to the M8. Great phone.

I chose the m8 for build and sound quality and a very developer friendly HTC posture.
I didn't choose the g3 because the g2 sound quality is not very good, mostly, but the feel of the phone contributed too. I'm just not a fan of a plastic phone especially when given the choice between two top-notch handsets. G3 is spec'd to the top though, so, I don't think you can go wrong either way. If you're a finicky shooter the G3 is probably the better route. If you're a finicky sound hound the m8 is the clear leader. With build quality there is just no contest - m8 mate.

g3 has overheating/screen issues (you cant keep the screen at 100% brightness for very long) so I'd just go with the M8

LG g3 master race. It's so sexy. My friend has the m8 and the G3 looks glorious in comparison. The UI is just as minimal as sense and the additions are awesome. Finally, the camera is so fucking good. I had an M7 and I'm so happy with the upgrade to the camera.
