My I-phone is on its last legs due to years of abuse.

I want to buy a new phone, thinking of hopping over to an HTC One or may be the Samsung G4.

Any advice? The I-phone 5 looks good too...

I have got a bit sick of the internet reviews, any of you own one of these three?

Thanks will do. It seems like quite a wedge of cash these days... I hate it but you start looking and then you get sucked in to the whole consumer loop... And they always keep it so in 6 months time there is a new upgrade with all the extra shit. Embarrassed

htc 8x is a great windows phone





pros:
light
sleek
durable (dropped mine down a concrete stair well and you can't even tell. anyone other phone I've owned would have been destroyed)
built protective case
fast
fits well in pocket
build is not pretentious but has great build quality (nice sweet spot between apple and Samsung)

cons:
weak camera
smaller HD then some other phones (trade off to smaller phone)
windows phone app eco system is smaller than others (I don't really use apps so it doesn't really apply to me and they have armed which is the sickest game ever)

If you're due for an upgrade I say go for the iPhone 5. If it aint broke dont fix it ya know? Android OS is always a bit hit & miss & gets buggy after a while. Also if you're looking for a good case I say go for the LifeProof joints. they're expensive but the peace of mind is worth it.

Yeah, it seems like Apple has fallen behind a bit though. Still, I have had no problems with my old I-Phone... Tempted by the bigger screens etc. It is that silly situation where you need a new phone but there is always something else waiting around the corner. Sucked in...

i'd probably go android over apple but i hate apple products. this guy at my work just got a new android that looked really nice but the build qualities are never as good as apple. but i personally don't like aluminum, it's heavy and cold.

Don't get anything with a MS Windows OS.  I would just go with an iPhone.

i'm in the same boat. i've been eligible for an upgrade since october, but there hasn't been anything i really wanted come out. i lean toward android more because it's what i have now and i'm pretty invested in google products (gmail, drive etc.). that said, google apps on the iphone have gotten pretty good lately. i just really hate itunes.

Yeah that's the thing with iPhones they just work. I've had android phones & I just grew tired of all bugginess. Other phones may have some snazzy new features you may or may not use but at the end of the day the iPhones are built better & are just more reliable all around.

I'm due for a new phone too. I'm just going to wait though, since where I'm working for the summer doesn't even have sprint coverage. Probably wind up with an iPhone though.
