I wasn't sure where to put this so I decided to put it here. Mods can move it to a better place if it needs to be moved.
Anyway, I am due for an upgrade and I am thinking about getting the LG G3 or the HTC One M8 but I want to see what you guys say about the devices.
Here are my Pros & Cons for each.
LG G3-
Pros:
1) 4 buttons at the bottom
2) 5.5 inch screen (I want a bigger phone than 5 inches with this upgrade)
3) Popup messages that you can reply to that do this BY DEFAULT
4) Removable/Replacable Battery
5) MicroSD Card Slot
6) Never used it on my S4 but it is cool... Wireless Charging
7) Takes the same SIM card as my S4 (Micro) so if I were to return or something happened to it I could easily put it back in my S4.
Cons:
1) Speaker on the back. Tired of my S4 with that speaker.
2) Review on PocketNow states that default Weather app is usually wrong. I liked that weather app.
3) Buttons on the back. Not sure about those.
4) Never used it on my S4 but it is cool... No NFC
HTC One M8
Pros:
1) Speakers on the front
2) HTC phones last forever!
3) MicroSD Card Slot
Cons:
1) Only 3 buttons on the bottom
2) Never used it on my S4 but it is cool... No Wireless Charging
3) Since it takes a smaller SIM card (Nano), I can't switch back and forth between my S4 if something happened to the One M8.
4) Stupid HTC bar that does nothing and will confuse the living HELL out of me until I get used to the device.
As you can tell from the Pros & Cons list I am leaning more towards the LG G3 but the speaker is killing me. I hate having to place my phone down on it's face in order to hear the speaker how it is supposed to be...or cup my hand to hear it in a restaurant or busy place.
I am also considering the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 when it comes out but I am impatient and not sure I can wait that long. Lol. Plus, I wanted to try and get away from Samsung with this upgrade. I've owned their S3 & S4 and have major problems with Touchwiz/hardware that is in them. BOTH versions I've had major issues.
Also, considering the Nokia Lumia 1020. While T-Mobile doesn't sell this, I could purchase it outright and use it. Reason why I don't is because I am an indecisive person so I like the customization that Android has BUT I owned the HTC HD7 (Windows 7/Vista device) and actually kept that phone for 2-years...as opposed to the 6 months to 1 year of the devices since.
Anyway, I wanted to know what y'all think. In your opinion, from what I have put here, Which phone do you think I should get? I want to make it one I will not return within the first 14 days. I want to try and keep it for 2-years as well and that is hard with the Android OS becoming outdated so fast.
