Hello again Forum
I picked up a galaxy s4 about this time last year for $300 with the intent of using it for a year and confirming I liked me some android. It's starting to slow down on me, and I'm ready for something new(er).
I prefer to buy used, so I can change phones again in 6-12 months, and I really need to keep it under $400.
I've been looking hard at the note 4 (will have to shop around and skip a few nights at the bar I think, for a clean one) and the LG g3. The optical image stabilization is very tempting, my hands shake a bit and I use a tripod or a mount to get decent pics. The size of the note is a little scary, as I currently jog and bike with the phone, and run around playgrounds with the kids, but I expect I'd learn to love it like a lot of people do.
I really wanted to like the Sony z3 compact, but the whole root-kills-the-camera thing turns me way off. I intend to get a t-mobile version of whatever I get and unlock it for att.
I haven't had touchwiz on the s4 since the first week, and I use root for Tasker, customshare, debloating, and a bunch of little tweaks I can't remember at the moment. Tethering, for sure.
So, considering price, camera, improvement over gs4, 6-12 months, rootable without crippling a key feature, what else should I be looking at?
