Iphone 4, 4s, 5 or samsung galaxy?

I get to upgrade phone in a month or so and I was looking to get a nicer phone. (Usually I just get whatever is free with sprint at the time.) I was hoping to either get one of the iphones or maybe a galaxy but I don't know how they compair. Phone critics begin haha please and thank you for your help.

Galaxy S4 my opion

First off, I wouldn't waste my time with the 4 or 4s. Apple has a record of abandoning older devices.

After that, it really depends what kind of user you are. Both the iPhone 5 and the Galaxy (I'm going to assume you mean the Galaxy S3) are great phones and there isn't a bad choice.

The iPhone is simple. It doesn't have many bells and whistles, it just works. It is always smooth and responsive. The iPhone is build very solidly and it feels great in your hand.
The Galaxy line of phones have a ton of bells and whistles. They offer lots of little tricks such as dual windows at one time and flip the phone to silence it. Samsung's build quality does not feel nearly as good as Apple's because their phones are made out of plastic on the sides and back but their phones are usually pretty durable (more so than the older iPhones especially). Samsung's phones are generally very fast, among the best android phones and faster than the iPhone at most tasks but they are not quite as smooth and thus might feel slower and sometimes an app will crash.

It all depends on you. Go to the store, play with both phones. Really try using them without a salesman trying to help you. Think of things like can I fit the galaxy in my pocket? Is the screen too small on the iPhone?

Also, if you wait a month or so the Galaxy S4 is coming out which offers many more features than last years models especially with the new camera software. You might want to check out the HTC One as well when that comes into stores.

  • Which is better: iPhone 5c/ iPhone 4s or Samsung Galaxy s3? I want all of the specks and details and i want to know everything. Which one is better, faster, easier to use, most convenient, worth my money. Please give me everything I'm looking for, things I need to know before buying, EVERYTHING Please AND Thank you!
  • What is a good phone, iPhone 5, Samsung Galaxy S2, or Samsung Galaxy S3? I need a new phone and I'm wondering which I should get. My friend is selling his GS2 for around 50 Bucks and I could possibly get an iPhone 5 or Galaxy S3. Can you tell me the prices with and without the plan. And for people that have these phones could you tell me how good it is and which carrier(Sprint, Verizon, At&T)?
  • Switching from iPhone 4 to Samsung galaxy S2? I have an iPhone 4 and I dropped it and the screen is cracked up, and I'm completely tired of this phone so I want to change to Samsung galaxy s2 and I'm on Telus. Would I be able to buy the phone off eBay/Kijiji? And then take my sim card out and put it in the galaxy phone?
  • Sim card transfer from iPhone to Samsung galaxy s3? I currently own an iPhone 4s with over 2 years left on contract. If I wanted to purchase to new Samsung galaxy s3, would I be able to just buy one new from the box and put my sim card from the iPhone into the new phone? Or is there something else I need to do. If this is possible is there any drawback to it? I'm currently with mts with 2+ years left on my current contract as I said.
