Hey everyone! I'm new here and joined because I'm due for a upgrade in August and wanted some advice on what to get. I'm leaning more towards an Android, but I haven't ruled out an iphone (or something else) yet either. I currently have a iphone 4s. It was pretty good for a first smartphone, but there a lot of things I have begun to dislike about it. I guess its just too outdated at this point. Anyway here are the most important things to me in a smartphone (note that I am in the US and have Verizon):
-Longevity: I need something that will hold up and won't be outdated in 2 years. This is very important as I will be on a 2 year contract and upgrading will cost way too much before the contract is up.
-Speed and performance: I want something LIGHTNING fast (or at least as close to that as possible lol) and something that is stable, bug/glitch free and doesn't glitch out and crash all the time like my 4s does.
-Music: All of my music is on itunes. The problem is, moving it isn't an option for me since my family shares the account. If there is a way to copy songs from itunes to Google Play or whatever that would be great, but every single article i've read says "how to import" or "how to move", not how to copy, which is what I need. So can you copy songs to Google Play and still keep them on itunes? If not, I may just have to stick with Apple because I would lose a ton of songs.
Screen: I don't really care what size, as long as it's a good bit bigger than the 4s screen which is way too small imo. I'm OK with a phablet as long as it can fit in most pockets. How good the screen looks is more important to me, so I want the best looking phone I can get. I also would like something that looks good in bright light (sunlight outside).
Multitasking: I want to run as many apps as possible at the same time and be able to switch between them with ease.
Other things that are nice but not absolutely necessary: I think long battery life is important. Expandable storage would be nice, but most phones don't seem to have that anymore.
So based on everything I wrote here (sorry for the long post btw), what would you say the best smartphone for me is? Thanks!
