New phones

Vanillagurilla · Dec 12, 2014

So at the end of the month I'll be getting a new phone but I'm kinda stuck between the galaxy s5 and the note 4. Right now I have the s3 and its been great, the s5 is water resistant to 3 meters for 30 minutes and i go fishing alot but the note3 with multi windows would be nice for cruising the forums and adding pictures and stuff. Anyone have any experience with either or any input? I'm also a bit concerned that the note won't fit in my cell pocket on my ****ies but my s3 does with an otterbox case. :/

Iphone's are terrible, even the new 6 is light-years behind Samsung.

My Daughter and I went through 3 - S5's on verizon and all had issues with Google services on both phones. Maps, Youtube and play Store had major issues when using cellular data. Also quite a few lock ups that required battery pulls. We both switched to The HTC ONE and IMO it is a way better phone that the samsung. I am a phone nerd , I switch all the time between Android and IOS looking for the latest and greatest. I am currently back with IOS on the iPhone 6+. I don't like it any more than the HTC but it the Apple is much better at sending photos via SMS than the androids

If you are staying with android I would take a look at the HTC one, I would never buy another samsung

Good luck

My girlfriend loves her new LG G3, very awesome phone with a great camera

I have had a s3, have the s5, i liked it at first, functionality is great, but the plastic "chrome" has chipped off around the edges. There are better built phones out there now. I have heard a lot of praise for the note 4, if the size is your thing.

If you really want a iPhone 6, keep your s3... they are about the same.

The Note 4 looks pretty sweet. I have only played with it, not put it to a real world test yet.

Costco is the best deal.

They also have their own return policy, If you don't like it bring it back. We returned 2 S5's to Costco before settling on the HTC one.

Happy Shopping

Verizon plan with note 4. Love it. Best screen. Its just twice as good as iPhone 6. I'm not techiest but my wife got i6. She's steels mine to take pics. Better pics I think most specs are double. And its got a heart rate and stress meter.

Sorry that's when I switched to verizon, lol, but had the S5 when it first released 8 months ago

I think I'm going to go ahead and get the note 4, I use my phone as my computer anyways lol. I'll deal with it not fitting in my pocket, and if I get it on the edge plan the phone will only cost me $125

I got that pay off plan with Verizon. Its costing me 4.99 a month. Its the best phone (big fat period). Super fast. Amazing pics. You can even do windows. And its got a really neat stylis

You'll love it. And if you ever get sick of the removable battery you can always get an iphone.

fjBruizer · Dec 15, 2014

Windows that can be minimized and kept on top of whatever you doing.

Camera is amazing with the blurred effect option and really neat editing stuff.

If siri could perform physical tasks then I'd consider it.
