Greetings,
I'm a current IOS user. I've used IOS for a long time and I'm a big fan of Apple products in general. However that doesn't mean I'm a blind follower. I've dabbled in the Android world previously with mixed results. I owned the HTC Evo when it first came out and loved it...for the first year. Then it got long in the tooth...then the lack of updates really soured me on Android. Fast forward to now, I'm almost 3 years long on my current iPhone 4s and it's time for an upgrade. I've considered sticking to the iPhone for the 6 launch, but Android has my eye again. Given that we're so far down the line from the original evo I'm sure a ton of the bugs and issues are worked out, but being away from Android for so long, I'm having to get caught up.
Originally, I only wanted a Google only phone. The Nexus 5 is sexy as hell and I love it...but it's already ( just about) a year old and I'm not too keen on jumping back to an "old" device, and as there's no idea as to if/when the next Nexus phone will drop, I've decided on the HTC One M8 and the LG G3 as my go potential candidates. I'll be honest, I'm leaning towards the G3. With a 15 month old, the camera is swaying me.
My concern with the G3 is the display. While gorgeous, and yea a little power hungry, I'm really worried about what it means as far as support. Will there be issues down the line as far as updates, and mods, etc? It's a VERY non standard screen and I don't want to be tied to specific updates from certain providers. Is LG and HTC timely when it comes to OS updates? Rooting and/or Cyanogen recommendations?
I haven't finalized my decision yet and iphone 6 is still on the table, but I'm leaning heavily towards Android at the moment. I like to mix things up.
Thanks in advance!!
