The Android platform is constantly being treated to new desirable hardware as handsets become more advanced and powerful, and today we have a HTC One M8 vs. Nexus 5 speed test video that provides a winner.

Last year LG and Google provided us with the Nexus 5 device that has been well received since it was made available, but time doesn’t stand still in the smartphone world as more recently the HTC One M8 was released.

This short YouTube video we have embedded for you below is looking at how quick the two handsets are in terms of booting up and closing down. Both handsets are obviously running the latest Android 4.4.2 KitKat operating system, and the video begins by shutting them both down.

The user comments that it takes a while to get used to holding the HTC One M8 before we see the two devices switched back on again, but we won’t spoil the outcome for you.
