I have to go with the Galaxy. IPhone doesn't come close.
-
I recently switched over to the galaxy s4 and I really like it. Apple needs to get moving. Their product line is becoming stale.
-
Had iphone4 then Galaxy3 now I have a Galaxy4
Galaxy3 is my favourite out of the lot

The truth is you can NOT go wrong with either phone and neither is ' better ' than the other. for 99.9% of users these phones serve all their purposes , checking email , updating Facebook & Instagram , taking selfies and listening to Pandora

Boom.
Pick the one you like and don't look back. Too many people seem to only be able to enjoy their purchase if they feel the competitor sucks - XBox/PS4, Android/iOS, Ford/Chevy. Just find what you like and enjoy it.

I always find it interesting when people think one product is better than the other.
That's like saying I won't ever eat chicken because I like steak... Sounds stupid.

yep. i had a galaxy s4 and a galaxy note 10.1 2014 tab. decided i liked iOS better, swapped out for a 5s and an iPad. friend of mine did the opposite.
obviously i have REASONS for making my switch, but i realize they're not all universal.

Exactly. I liked Android, but at the time I was using it, it was buggy and I almost lost a video of my son scoring a TD plus it didn't have the overall "smoothness" of iOS. I switched and really like my iPhone and iPad, but could easily return no problem.

Really? I'm forced to use an S3 as a work phone, and it sucks. The pentile display bites (I read all my books on it, so this really matters to me), and the stock ROM was very unstable. I'd much rather have a Lumia 1520 or HTC One Max.
-
i have the s4 nini. its a great phone. i havent owned an iphone before, but when ive worked with my friends iphone and it seems over complicated and lacks in features i would say.
the s4 mini has a 1.7 ghz processor so its very quick and its very user friendly
-
Galaxy S4, but if you wait a little the Galaxy S5 will be out later this year which will be better.
-
iPhone 5s. Not even close.
-
Galaxy Note for me.
Doubles up nicely for sat-nav due to the bigger screen. Thinking of upgrading to the Note 3 once it comes down in price a bit. Would never have an iPhone now, they look and feel tiny by comparison.
-
I have an iPhone 5 but sometimes miss the simpler days of flip phones! The technology is awesome but the batteries don't keep up.
-
Using a blackberry z10 really a wonderfully functional phone like the fact it has an hdmi port and I can plug it directly onto my TV or computer monitor.

Open Source is morally superior.

Open Source is morally superior.
it's just a shame google has sort of... stopped being open source like they used to be. most of the core android elements are being locked down as app-store applications and they're in bed with hardware companies who lock their phones down unless you buy the "google play edition" version that can't be purchased with an on-contract price.
long story short: google is turning into the villain they always tried to claim apple was.
-
just switched to the galaxy s4 from an iphone. I wont go back to the iphone unless something drastically changes.
and yes i like the bigger screen/phone

Samsung's CES blog

iphones are for girls with tiny hands and homosexuals and who want a phone they can put trendy fake Gucci and LV cases on to match their skinny-jeans and fake Gucci and LV backpacks/purses.
real man uses the biggest phone that will fit in his pocket (to watch homemade porn, of course.. of the previous years gf's), or an old school phone (non-smart phone). Galaxy Note's are fucking retarded though. S2, S3, S4, ect.. are perfect.
-
I have to go with the Galaxy. IPhone doesn't come close.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note II which is just the perfect size for my old eyes and large hands. Samsung just did an update today. There are a bunch of aps I'll never use on my phone now, but at least it still works. When Apple recently did an update, it took my daughter several days to get her I-phone working smoothly.
-
I had the last 3 iPhones and still use one(I'm hell on my phones)...my fiancé and mom have the Samsung...the Samsung is better by a long shot

Have and do all posting from a galaxy 3. I love it. The iphone looks the best but the damn screen is tiny. The galaxy size is perfect
-
i hate these fckng smart phones, these screens cant have shit and cost a lot of money to replace.
and you have to charge them every fckng day even when you dont do shit on them.
wow you have internet on it!! who fckng cares, surfing the internet on these phones is horrible.
i yearn back to the days a phone was only for calling and texting someone.

with jailbroken iphone = open source... you do whatever you want on it... it's like android.. :)

No lie, my favorite phone is a cheap as shit, piece of plastic pay as you go phone. It doesn't even go on the internet and I only use it when travelling but it does what I want: makes and receives calls and the battery lasts a week or two!
-
I'm sure this child, whom for some reason owned an iPhone, wishes she chose Samsung.
http://bangordailynews.com/2014/01/31/news/portland/kennebunk-girl-treated-for-burns-after-iphone-catches-fire-in-her-back-pocket/
HTC One is my favorite phone yet.
this girl shouldn't put her phone in her back pocket... it would do the same if she put samsung in her backpocket too.. no difference...
-
Htc one
YEEEEES. I love mine. More intuitive than apple, imo, and more attractive than Samsung galaxy.
-
Run a complete top to bottom Microsoft organization, use the HTC windows phone. Work purposes it's the most amazing phone I have owned, lync, sharepoint, crm, office suite, all great experience. Apps are an abomination!! Awful. I can't even get Über on it?? Or my own bank app??

Samsung Introduces the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge Featuring New Designs, Wireless Charging, and Mobile Payment
http://laughingsquid.com/samsung-introduces-the-galaxy-s6-and-galaxy-s6-edge-featuring-new-designs-wireless-charging-and-mobile-payment/
Samsung is marking the Mobile World Congress consumer electronics show in Barcelona, Spain this week by announcing the latest two additions to its Galaxy S Android handset line (previously), the Galaxy S6 and the Galaxy S6 Edge. Both smartphones feature 5.1-inch displays, wireless charging, a brighter and faster 16-megapixel rear-facing camera, and a new design-focused glass body that ditches the plastic backing of previous models. As the name implies, the biggest difference between the two phones is the side of the display, which is curved in the case of the Edge, both making for a thinner and sleeker phone and adding some additional features like the ability to quickly access contacts. The phones also arrive with a new mobile payment system in-tow.
Samsung Pay, a new, easy-to-use mobile payment service that will be compatible with more locations than any competing offering in a single application, will launch on Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge in the United States during the second half of this year. Protected by Samsung KNOX, fingerprint scanning, and advanced tokenization, Samsung Pay works with both Near Field Communication (NFC) and Magnetic Secure Transmission (MST) technology to make it device, merchant and card issuer agnostic.
Both Android 5.0 phones are scheduled to be available globally starting April 10, 2015.

I have own a Samsung now owning a 5S theres no contest Iphones are superior.

Just find what you like and enjoy it.
Do you know how I can find your mom's anus?

I'm really happy with my Iphone 6 Plus.
The camera is excellent and is ready very quickly, the battery lasts really long; and the screen is big enough to comfortably watch videos, use the internet and read epub books like a kindle.
I'm sure its similar on the S6 but I'm used to the interface and OS and didn't want to re-learn another system.
I also like the fingerprint log-in.

I am trying to decide if I want to upgrade my 5s now or wait for the 6s and 6s Plus. This conundrum happens to me about this time every product cycle. Do you find the size of the Plus to be too much?
-
I've had both, iPhone is better to me.
-
never owned a smart phone in my life. I think it's a bad idea. I would become one of those people who, even if they don't need to do anything- check their phones 10 times a day.
Minus the fact that gps, internet, instagram, internet radio's, image and video modifications would be really handy, I don't REALLY need one, but it would be a lot of fun. Most fun part would be that I would make my ex's paranoid if they saw me doing anything with it.
-

Not at all, I find it more comfortable to type on than the Iphone 4 and 5 and very comfortable to use, even when used with one hand.
After switching to a bigger sized screen I won't go back to smaller phone.

im forced to use iphone 5 for work and it completely sucks.
screen too small, have to login whenever i want to do anything.
ive had htc, samsung s2, s3, s4, samsung note2, note 3, android, apple, and the best OS by far is windows. nokia with windows lasts 3-5 days without a charge, smooth, fast, slick- some large screen HD models out there..but the apps selection isnt great. not a biggie though since it has everything i need.
its a shame MS missed the boat on it. im an open soure fan, so admitting that windows OS was the best, took me some time. have gone back to iOS and Android several times- but keep coming back to Windows OS.
its definitely the most polished and fluent OS- and the nokia phones are the best value for money, and dont need extensive hardware for a great OS experience. The bottom of the line Nokia with windows outperforms any android/apple midrange offering.

Iv'e been growing very tired of the shit build quality of the Galaxy phones, just got the next gen Galaxy Alpha....very very happy, they completely changed the design of the phone

Note 4 and iPhone 6 are the consensus 2 best phones, pick either depending if you prefer android or ios.

those notes are too fucking big. my personal opinion is people look like idiots with those things to their ear, looks like they are talking into a tablet and just looks wrong
-
Or if it's on a belt clip it looks like a colostomy
bag....I've had the original galaxy...gs3...gs4 and
now the gs5. Only thing I hated was missing phone
numbers when I switched phones.
-
The next Note is supposed to have a 6" screen or something crazy. Almost half the length of the average getbigger's you-know-what (erect, unstretched).
I really like my iPhone 6S but I've never used any non-Apple smartphones.

check out the Alpha, i was due for an upgrade and was pleasantly surprised

way expensive..

What looks wrong to you, is right for me. Being a senior, I like having a larger screen which is easier for me to see. Plus, I have big ears. It hides at least one ear when I hold it up there. If I go with a blue tooth, then that will be a mute point, won't it?
-
mute point, won't it?
Not sure if you were going for some sort of pun here, but if not, it's moot point.

Currently using a Blackberry Passport absolutely the best phone I've ever used productivity wise.

Serious question, not meant to sound like an apple fanboy. Santa is rumored to be getting me an iphone 10 for Xmas, so I gave my 7 plus to my mom because her ancient phone was on its last legs. She was really appreciative of it, thought it had a lot of cool features, but from a basic standpoint she's somewhat disappointed. Not to go into too much detail, but the biggies are the fact that she can't charge the phone while talking on her headset, words with friends is way harder to play without the android back button and adding music to it will be way more complicated.
Setting up the phone for her, I'm reminded of all these things about iphones that have slightly annoyed me over the years.I've gone through almost every major generation iphone, but I have had 2 android phones. The major things I didn't like about the androids were the interfaces which I thought were poorly designed, the app selection was poor and most apps that were in both stores had noticeably fewer features on the android. One thing I did like about android was the fact that you can use adblocking on browsers. I still have one of the phones primarily for watching youtube without ads.

Stick with the iPhone. Androids are for losers.
-
Had iphones and android phones over the years but I prefer android because:
It runs on cheap phones. I switched to cheap $200 samsung phones because I always drop / damage my phones. And I have noticed no difference in options and/or speed compared to lets say a high ed samsung S8. So if I drop one and the glass is damaged I just unwrap the next one lol.
Android allows automatic phoneconvo recording apps. Apple does not allow those apps ( I need this for my job).
Android has more options to play with. Not rigid like iOS.
Android sounds like steroid

Not to derail your thread, Ive never had anything other than Iphones, I'm not a techie but my 6s has been acting up lately since it got dropped in water so I figured it was time to get a new one. I was just telling someone last week, having no idea how much the other iphones cost, that even if I was swimming in cash, I couldn't bring myself to pay over $1000 for a IPhone X, that's just ridiculous. Fast forward to yesterday I'm in Verizon asking about the 7, and 8 only to find those models are friggin ridiculous as well. I think $800 for an 8.. so why not get the latest greatest for $200 more? So I ended up eating my words and will be the proud owner of a $1000 phone when it comes in Friday.. had you told me 10 years ago one day I would pay a grand for a phone I would have told you you were nuts...

Read my post. My new $200 samsung works great no diff from high end Samsung S8.
Why pay $1000 for an iphone wich is made from glas on the front AND the back? Pure vanity this is!

what are the features of a $1000 phone that makes it worth the money?

Iphones are surprisingly durable. When I got the 7, which seemed huge at the time, I started a thread on here asking about how people did without putting cases on their iphones. I didn't want to add any extra bulk to it. Anyway, I risked it and the thing still looks brand new after a year of wear.
I think most phones work fine, but you can really feel the technology when you start going up in price. One of my favorite things about the 7 was the haptic response. It's just a nice little touch that adds to the finished quality. I was so disappointed when ios update took it out of the compass. Also, the fingerprint unlock.I'm not sure, but I don't think any midmarket phones have that.

"Anybody switch from Iphone to Android (or other) and felt it was improvement?"
No, because it's not.

I have an app called one block that blocks ads on the iphone.
I have a friend who is a phone nut - he gets them all, often switching back and forth between them.
He was recently using the Pixel 2 and the Note for android, and thought they were both excellent. He's back to the X right now, which could be his favorite.
My takeaway from this is that there's little differences between the two now, just comes down to preference.

AL ..... !!! I just use my $60 Android cell phone with a $40 a month Cricket plan to call people .... and now you're telling me that I can do other things with it besides calling for a pizza or setting up a game of Poker??!
What can a more expensive phone do??
And believe me when I say that I was one of the original joes who was in the cell phone biz.
But back then those 'phones' were very similar to US military ammo boxes and you had to say "Over" when you were over and "Hello" to whomever you were calling that you had a connection.
We only rented these phones which included a monthly plan for "air time" and my main customers were local prostitutes and night club strippers and massage parlor employees who only paid in cash on the same day each month.
But now they are smaller and come in various colors and are capable of doing other stuff rather than just saying "Hello" and "Over" and callgirl business stuff.
Damn! I gotta catch sup!!!
Here is a question for anyone who has ever been in the communications business ....
What is "Blue, Orange, Green, Black, Brown, Slate"!
If you respond to that correctly, you're pretty damn smart!
Thanks, AL !!

well you can surf, but not really.
you can watch a movie, but not really.
you can listen to music, but, well you did that with an mp3 player, which was far more portable.
you can play games, but not really.

I have an app called one block that blocks ads on the iphone.
Yeah, i forgot that you actually can use adblock on the iphone, but unfortunately it's only for the safari browser. The progress bar shows up at the top of the screen on video sites, which is why I hate to use it. The firefox browser on both android and iphone displays youtube how I prefer it, but i still have to put up with ads on ios, so the android phone is my preferred option.
-
Android phones are so annoying to use. They might be "better" in some ways but I just hate them.

I refuse to get caught up in a never-ending cycle of technological planned obsolescence. I also refuse to shell out $1000 for a PHONE, for hell's sakes.
This is my phone that I got circa 2010 and it still works just fine, thank you very much. But I get lots of shit about it from family and co-workers alike. Oh well. I laugh to myself every time the latest iOS update bricks their iPhones or puts funny characters in their texts, OR their latest phone gets a cracked screen from being dropped 6 inches.

I overpay for iPhones because it's a status symbol. Hot chicks like expensive things.
Good luck getting your dick sucked carrying that thing around. Dad phone.

On an iPhone 10, what is your expected monthly phone bill?

Most people dont NEED a fancy phone, but they're nice to have, it makes my life easier and i usually feel like the price is commensurate for what they do. My mom absolutely is not going to use most of the features on that phone and , right now, probably wishes most of them weren't on it, but I like that she has something nicer to replace the tincan she was using. Conversely, it's probably taking her significant effort just to pretend to care.

Yeah, at this point the newer phones offer very little additional value. It’s usually that the camera is a bit better but who cares? I’m not a professional photographer. iPhone 7 camera is perfectly fine.
Apple deserves a lot of credit for its quality control. You hardly ever hear about somebody buying an iPhone that turns out to be a lemon. I’ve dropped mine many times without an issue and I don’t even use a case.
Hell, I still have an iPod touch that’s about 10 years old. I occasionally charge it and the thing still works.

Iphone 8s is the same thing as the X except for dumb useless things like the face scanner and slightly faster speed even though it's already lightning fast as well as a bigger screen.

Personal computers are usually good for about 3 years, then you have to upgrade if you want to be able to run the latest stuff. Not much difference with game consoles. Smart phones are similar.

ROBO, I find it interesting that you use your cell phone in place of a computer.
I would like to do the same but the cellphone 'keyboard' is too small for my use ... so I still find my computer to be advantageous.
BUT .... I have seen an advertised cellphone application which projects an image of a standard-sized keyboard on your desk.
Have you seen this or possibly ever used one?

I've had I phones since they came out. I have the 7+ now, yesterday went out and bought my wife the iPhone X (I'll be upgrading to that next month). I upgrade frequently because of one thing...the camera. 90% of my marketing is social media (Twitter, IG, Snapchat and just resurrected my Youtube channel). I have iMovie and Filmmaker Pro that I'm learning for smaller editing projects but I also hired a person to video and edit. We have a goal in 2018 to blow up in-house and online. Except when I'm with clients or family, I'm on my phone working.

PS... The only time I've ever considered a cell phone to be a status symbol was back in the day when I was the only person to use one.
But back then there were only a handful of cell phone users ... so most of us had no one to call and converse with except for the cell phone bosses whose cell phone office was in their family automobile and wanted us to sell them.
Our sales eventually picked up when cell phones became a popular item among the hookers.
They gave us their business because our only competitor (Motorola) did not want to risk the possibility of a 'bad business' experience.
Now it appears that I will be required to possess a thousand dollar phone to impress the masses instead of my old ammo box with the handset mounted on top of it .... and no one to call up and talk with!
What so-called status symbol has yet to be invented that will soon be impressing each of us?

well there was a lot of talk about the google glasses
not sure what ever happened to that?

Always had Android.
Iphone is for Hebrews and Liberals.
They don't make phones like they used to though.
My favorite was this one back in the day

I have a £10 digital phone I use for work, I do not own a personal mobile phone.
That is because you are old and poor and old.

::) It's a phone. You don't need a "legit" reason to buy it. If you want it and you can afford it, you get it. That's legit enough.

I refuse to get caught up in a never-ending cycle of technological planned obsolescence. I also refuse to shell out $1000 for a PHONE, for hell's sakes.
This is my phone that I got circa 2010 and it still works just fine, thank you very much. But I get lots of shit about it from family and co-workers alike. Oh well. I laugh to myself every time the latest iOS update bricks their iPhones or puts funny characters in their texts, OR their latest phone gets a cracked screen from being dropped 6 inches.

Blackberry fell out of the cell phone game because they couldn't keep up. Yet you admit and defend having a phone that you get lit up by family and co-workers. And from a company that lost out. Don't buy a phone just to get caught up in the "gotta get the newest", but just to stay updated. It's kinda like the grandpa who still drives his 1980s Cadillac, because "them newfangled Caddys have too much going on". It's called progression and evolution.
And it takes more than dropping the phone 6 inches for its screen to get cracked.
I've never had a cracked screen with any of my cell phones. From the nokias, all the way up to the iPhone 7.
Usually cracked screens come from people who have no protective case or covering, and dropping them on the pavement or parking lot, sometimes with force. Or actually throwing them on the ground (no protective case) and then someone may stomp on it as well.

Iphones are surprisingly durable. When I got the 7, which seemed huge at the time, I started a thread on here asking about how people did without putting cases on their iphones. I didn't want to add any extra bulk to it. Anyway, I risked it and the thing still looks brand new after a year of wear.
I think most phones work fine, but you can really feel the technology when you start going up in price. One of my favorite things about the 7 was the haptic response. It's just a nice little touch that adds to the finished quality. I was so disappointed when ios update took it out of the compass. Also, the fingerprint unlock.I'm not sure, but I don't think any midmarket phones have that.
my honor 7 has fingerprint unlock and its a 300dollar phone. My 9 year old daughter got a iPhone 7 plus for her birthday and i got a cracked two year old Huawei lol, but she dares me to loan it on the weeks when she is at her mom's place and it just lays in her drawer 😀 never liked iphones before but this one is really cool so i might change from Android to

Got a Google phone and it works great. It's android too.

I don't doubt that android phones work fine and some are probably even great. What I was asking about specifically was moving from an iphone to an android because you thought it was a better user experience. I can see moving to a cheaper android because you didn't need a lot of the shit on an iphone or never bothering with an iphone in the first place and thinking an android is fine. I would guess that people who move from iphone to android because they prefer the phone is a lot rarer. I don't think the phone is perfect, but in my experience, there is a huge difference in polish between iphones and android phones, even higher end android phones. I was wondering if there was an android phone that actually was better because there are a few inherent advantages with androids. I could fuck with not having to deal with itunes anymore, but at the same time, the way the android phones i have organized files i import is strange.

Now Apple is getting sued after admitting that it throttles the performance of older phones to "save battery" ::) ::)
It's impressive how people will continue to worship a corporate brand that repeatedly fucks its userbase over

On an iPhone 10, what is your expected monthly phone bill?
Iphone 10 with 64gb is 999.99 and the 256gb is 1149.99. On a device payment, either 41.66 or 47.91 a month. If you buy it anywhere else for less, its going to be a clone. The ones they have out there are insanely hard to tell and they actually will hook up to service.

It's not even really an iPhone 10. It's just a money grab iPhone 9 labeled an iPhone 10 for even more money grabbing.
If the 10 came out a year from now instead of right now it would have more features.
So the 11 would be the real 10 if they weren't greedy. If that makes sense.
They could probably release the iPhone 15 right now but they need to add slow incremental changes so people buy a new phone every year like the suckers we are.

Or how about not supporting an 1-2 gen older phone, forcing one to get a new phone, regardless of which brand you go to.
There should be far more players in the game, with far a variety of OS.

android have the translate function on whatsapp whereas iphones don't.
it's an excellent tool for getbiggers when organising business trips to dubai, india

Serious question, not meant to sound like an apple fanboy. Santa is rumored to be getting me an iphone 10 for Xmas, so I gave my 7 plus to my mom because her ancient phone was on its last legs. She was really appreciative of it, thought it had a lot of cool features, but from a basic standpoint she's somewhat disappointed. Not to go into too much detail, but the biggies are the fact that she can't charge the phone while talking on her headset, words with friends is way harder to play without the android back button and adding music to it will be way more complicated.
Setting up the phone for her, I'm reminded of all these things about iphones that have slightly annoyed me over the years.I've gone through almost every major generation iphone, but I have had 2 android phones. The major things I didn't like about the androids were the interfaces which I thought were poorly designed, the app selection was poor and most apps that were in both stores had noticeably fewer features on the android. One thing I did like about android was the fact that you can use adblocking on browsers. I still have one of the phones primarily for watching youtube without ads.
1.) You can used ad blockers on iOS now for a few years now. They are call content blockers. I used purify but blockbear is go as well
2.) I had a oneplus work phone that I have to get rid of because it has a rootkit install on it.
3.) apps are always better on iOS, even google's apps
4.) If you want to charge and use wired headphones you are going to have to get bluetooth headphones are used a splitter
5.) Ios has customer support and you don't have to dal with carriers, so better support for devices
6.) I have an iPhone x, and yes the face id takes a while to get used to
IMO Android sucks. Malware in the official store, no upgrades or patches for most phones, rootkits installed from the factory. But people are going to like what they like. If your mom like android get her an android. But make sure to get her a google phone, like an old nexus, pixel or pixel 2. They have patches and updates.

Any phone running stock android with Snapdragon 835 smokes iPhone, iOS 11 is a laggy framedrop mess. Even iOS 10 was trash, android has surpassed iOS in terms of smoothness with less powerful chipsets. Especially with Oreo
Plus androids you can drag and drop MP3s and videos and even download them in the browser
Can download porn also :D
Once we start seeing 120hz displays like the razer phone it'll be game over for the crapphone

No. They state it prevents random shutdowns. I think it is probably so it doesn’t good boom in your hand like a samsung. ;D

1.) total bullshit, A11 Bionic chip is the fastest processor out right now. And iOS is better optimize so It needs less ram then android.
2.) you can download media on an iOS device.
3.) why do you want porn on your phone? Everyone jacks off but you don’t own a computer or have a chick huh? ???

Anybody know how to format this site on a Pixel 2? Everything comes of fine but only
this site isn't formatted on my phone. It comes out super tiny and when I expand it

Here is a question for anyone who has ever been in the communications business ....
What is "Blue, Orange, Green, Black, Brown, Slate"!
If you respond to that correctly, you're pretty damn smart!
Should be blue, orange, green, brown, slate - the code has five colors... & the order goes white, red , black, yellow, violet.
I did a lot of work in the communications field right after school & terminated many 25 pair & larger cables while setting up an MDF/IDF. I did both voice & data, copper & fiber all over the place - saw some interesting shit...

Stunt, I had a Motorola 8000 too. Needed it for my business. I had a pager, clients would page me, and I would call them back. I think I had 200 minutes a month on the phone, and paid $300 or $400 a month for service.

Own them all and have to say my Google pixel shits all over BOTH the iPhone x and my Samsung s8. It's not even a close battle. The Samsung s8 is way more beautiful that the pixel but its no where near as good.
