Searchbar'd but found no results.

This thread is for any questions, comments, or just gabber about smart phones.

I'm on a iphone 4 at the moment, but my contract is almost over. Im torn between the Samsung Galaxy s4 and the HTC one. Any tips?

Peace

i don't mean to come off like an asshole but you're going to get much more informed and logical opinions from googling the subject and searching for Smartphone-specific forums. but that being said...

I too am on an iphone. I have the 4s, due for an upgrade already and considering switching to the Moto X or another droid. But I've also heard people who switch and switch back because "everyone has apple, and it is just easier"

and by fighting i hope you mean belittle each other's character in hopes of invalidating your argument while ignoring the argument all together.

I can get a $150 credit for my 4s which will equal a free phone plus $50 on my bill for most phones. It's not a bad deal for me lol

I have an s4 and absolutely love it. I couldn't really choose between the s4 or the one but the s4 has a removable battery and micro sd card slot and that's why I chose it over the one.

But if you want the latest new phone get the note 3.

LG G2, MOTO X (is an awesome phone), MOTO MAXX, or wait for goggle to announce what there nexus 5 is gonna be.

I have the galaxy s4 and love it, but i perfer the software interface of my dads samsung nexus which is just the google interface which the MOTO X (that has 2gb of ram!!!) and LG G2 use

I reccomend you get the newest and coolest thing because im already wishing I had waited for the MOTO X

Or you could just get an iphone if you dont want android, but dont get windows

okay seriously, im buying a phone this weekend and its either the iphone 5 or the galaxy s3..
that being said ive looked into both phones and personally think the s3 is better but have so many friends with iphones that i feel it will just be easier with an iphone. Ive also asked my friends and its literally 50/50 between the two. Personal preferences with reasons why?
