My iPhone 4 contract is up in February but tomorrow I can upgrade and really fancy the Samsung galaxy 4s.  Ayone have the galaxy? Anyone had both the iPhone 5 and the Galaxy for comparison ?
Most folk I know sem to think the Samsung is by far the better phone and i really like the bigger screen.
Mmm, what to do???

For me it's the iPhone.

You won't get much of a benefit from the 4 to the 5 though.

If you can live with Android and it's interface, then go for it.  Bigger screen, but feels very flimsy. Mmmmmmm Plastic!

Nexus 5, very well built handset. Slim, big screen. £299 for 16gb compared to £550 for iPhone.

I'd hang on a while, Samsung are due to release a new Galaxy sooner than planned, due to appalling sales of the current ones.

Nothing is currently offering innovation over the previous generation (or 2).

Might be worth taking a SIM only contract, saving the pennies, until something useful does come out.

But few people want big screens, as they are too cumbersome.  I agree with many, the iPhone 5 is too bloody big!

I'm stuck with crappy IOS, until either MS or Google can come up with a viable, secure alternative. Gooseberry are only going one way.

I used Nexus 5 for two weeks, it nice and slim, very lightweight, went back to my iPhone 4S.  The screen feels so, so tiny now. Hoping to blag one for work soon, the iPhone 5 size does not work for me.

The screen on the Nexus 5 is simply awesome, the 3d pano's blow iPhone basic ones out of the water. I've been iPhone fan for a while but latest gens have been woeful, got 5c in office. No one has "borrowed" it as it offers no improvements.

I managed to convert an iOS scrum master to the Nexus!

Nexus 5 is too big. Simple.

I can see nothing wrong with the 3GS screen. It does the job. Shame the phone is too slow now, and lacks 900Mhz 3G capability, else I'd go back to it tomorrow.

There are 2 reasons why I won't go to an Android based device yet, which I've said before:
1) Email/Collaboration is very important to how I organise my life, and nobody does a useful, secure Android email client yet.
2) Google do not create and maintain a mobile OS for nothing. Their nature is to be aggressive and intrusive. They make crApple and MS look like angels.

It did take a while to get used to the display size, but I got used to it and enjoyed it. Great for maps & OOF

I've had a gayphone 5 for 9 or 10 months, I still cant get used to the size. And what benefit is the extra size? None.

As said, no innovation, certainly in Android/IOS arena, so unless you're suckered by shiny bits (like screens that do the same job as 5yr old screens, or styling), its only to encompass new technologies (900Mhz 3G, 4G data, NFC etc) and speed bumps.


The poor sales of the S4 show that (lack of) innovation and every increasing screen sizes are making even loyal fans weary.

As I've said before, my three year old galaxy s still performs well. It's not stuffed with crap I don't need and runs as fast as it ever did. Admittedly, I probably don't use it as much as others do. But with 1Gb, 600 mins and 5000 texts (who the fick uses 5000 texts?) for £9.99, I'm happy.
