Help!! Looking for new phone need advice!

[Bignick2020]

Hello i would first like to say i love Android and i am not sure if i want to try another OS. I am currently using a Samsung Galaxy S2. I have an upgrade coming up July 14th to be exact and i need some help on what phone i should get. If one of you could help me that would be great. Here is a list of what i am looking for...
1. I need a phone with a good battery life.
2. It has to be pretty durable, my phones normally go through a lot.
3. Music is like my life so something that would be good with that would be awesome.
4. I like to take pictures, so a phone with a good camera would be a plus.

I am currently looking at the S4 and the Note 2 but im not sure which would be better for me. if you guys could help me out that would be great

S4 and HTC One are both great phones. S4 had a little better battery life for me. The Beats audio on the HTC one is sweet (Sound enhancer) . Camera on the S4 is better in my opinion. A good case would take care of any durability issues. Overall I went with the HTC one, fit better in my hand, and once again I love beats audio. Note 2 is just to big for me and yes the battery doesn't last as long.

Between the S4 and Note 2 I'd really recommend checking them out in person. The specs don't really do justice to the actual size difference. It being "only" a few mm bigger might not seem like much, but many find the Note 2 to be too large. My wild guess is that the Note 2 will be the least durable just becasue the screen is larger. It's easier to break larger screens of the same thickness.

When looking between the One and S4 I'd consider storage (more internal vs. removable storage) first, then prioritize sound, low light camera performance, normal light camera performance and camera features. I haven't really seen anything that suggests the build quality is noticeably better between the two phones. Some believe that aluminum means it's better, but that's not necessarily the case. If you use a case then what case you use will have a much larger effect on durability than anything else.

I'd pick either or of what you looking at. I love the note 2... the s4 is also amazing. But only issue is I'd need to get 32mb phone,I think... Idk everything is good lol

I always wondered about the note 2 battery, granted it does last morning to night and on standby I really notice it last...I have a spare battery fully charged ... that's one thing I LOVE, I'm serious. Love taking the back out and insert a fully charged battery if needed.

I think if you are looking for a phone with great photos and camera features you should get the GS4

I'd prefer the HTC One:

1.The battery life is above average,It will last a full day.
2.Most of it is made out of aluminum,unlike Samsung's plastic.
3. It has beats audio sound enhancer.
4. It's not better than the S4 in my opinion,but it's still a pretty great camera phone!
