Both power saving mode on the two devices are generally utilize a similar advantages are: Limit CPU usage, turn off the haptic feedback and vibration, limited data base, disabled of data when the screen is off, limiting the available applications and reduce screen brightness or reduce visibility colors.
Basic hardware problems
The main difference between the two modes is really dependent on hardware. While Samsung Galaxy S5 uses Super AMOLED screen , the HTC One M8 using the LCD screen. AMOLED display downside is that outdoor quite poorly with the ability of high -contrast lighting , but it has the advantage of less power consumption for lighting pixels are just as colorful displays. If your screen is mostly black, the device will not use more pixels. On the other hand LCD screens have advantages when using outdoor lighting but all the pixels when the screen is turned on . Not surprisingly, the Galaxy S5 utilize energy-saving effect of gray as shown in the power saving mode of the One M8 still use colors displayed on screen.

While Extreme Power Saving Mode on HTC One M8 to be enabled fast and equally simple to turn on/off. The big difference here is that in addition to being able to activate and use the stop mode, you can also leave power saving feature automatically executed when the battery reaches a certain point is 5 %, 10 % or 20 % remaining. This is a great advantage that Samsung needs to learn. But like the Samsung Galaxy S5, One M8 also has power saving mode often good . During the approach and implementation, HTC One M8 clear winner in terms of speed and ability to set up.
Functionality And Convenience
When considering the function, there is no big difference between the two modes on the device, but what can make a big difference depending on what you are expecting. Both modes are supported dialing and text messaging usual, but HTC One M8 only email features, while the Samsung Galaxy S5 supports full Internet access ( although gray background ). Both modes will disable some applications when the power save mode as Camera, Calendar or Clock.
