Unless money is tight, I'm always in the boat of buying the latest when it comes to tech.

But beyond the screen size increase, the M8 has a better processor (801 vs 600), expandable storage, and the best gimmick of all with the same camera except with an added second camera that is just there to add 3D effects (basically useless beyond the "oh that's kind of cool" moment the first time you see it).

Actually surprised the M7 is even a buck at this point, it's soon to be 2 years old.

EDIT: Forgot to add that the M8 camera doesn't have OIS.

Another thing to think about is that the M7 is unlikely going to get Android L, which is suppose to be more efficient and easier on battery life and stuff.
