Wist 376 Posted July 21, 2013 Basically, my HTC Wildfire has run its merry course and has now brickified, and I've finally realised that it's stupidly old and rubbish and I need a new phone. *However* I cannae decide between 3 supah smartphones. They're all more or less £27 a month and have all the latest doo-dahs, but I'd like opinions from owners if you are one Contender one: The iPhone 5 Smooth, sleek, universally hated and adored, prone to chipping but lovely and smooth. Standard enough. Contender two: HTC One The size of sweden and with a screen as wide as my ego, I'm seriously tempted. Buuut android was not so good to me in the past, and the last one I tried was a bit dodgy and froze a little. It does come with a dear Dr. Dre stuck in every phone though: Contender three: Galaxy S4 Already massively popular and has raving reviews, though they all do, really. The HTC One and S4 are virtually the same size, both larger than the iphone. HTC claim the One will never ever slow down, and Samsung say that the S4 could rewrite all of time and space and dance the tango, and apple basically say suck our moneypenis as per usual. So, in lieu of Rebecca Black: WHICH PHONE CAN I TAAAAAAAAAAKE? Quote Share this post Link to post
Jak 1,381 Posted July 21, 2013 Go into a shop and have a decent go on all 3, then decide. Quote Share this post Link to post
Wist 376 Posted July 21, 2013 I have briefly, before I had to get back to class. But there's little kinks or bugs that you can never find in a 10-minute play around in the store, and it's those I'd like to find out. My wildfire froze constantly, and that was never obvious from the display model. Quote Share this post Link to post
w33zy 1,523 Posted July 21, 2013 im in the same position. i have the iPhone4 and my contract is going to end as well. i like the iphone it does what i need. I still have some time to decide. im in doubt of choosing the galaxy s4 or the iphone5, or maybe wait for the new iphone wich will probably will be iphone 5s. Quote Share this post Link to post
Daffy Duck 155 Posted July 21, 2013 I use an iPhone 4s and I really like it, so I'd say go for iPhone 5 the only main draw is the battery, but you get used to it really. - keep the brightness fairly low (not THAT low) - close apps when not using them - charge, stick it in an ipod/phone dock when not using it and it'll run very smoothly! :)) Quote Share this post Link to post

Britten 11 Posted July 21, 2013 Galaxy S4 is a very good phone and it normally runs faster than the iphone Quote Share this post Link to post
Aaradabadoo 0 Posted July 21, 2013 HTC One is a fucking boss phone. Definitely do NOT go with iPhone 4 or 5 they suck willy. I own a HTC One the only negative about it is battery life but everything else is amazing Quote Share this post Link to post
Aaradabadoo 0 Posted July 21, 2013 S4.... End of discussion. NU, HTC One. Quote Share this post Link to post
ThorbenBAMF 18 Posted July 21, 2013 Wist I have a Wildfire. Wildfire is shit. So shit that you shouldn't compare it to other Android phones. Quote Share this post Link to post
Jamie 2,319 Posted July 21, 2013 Definitely do NOT go with iPhone 4 or 5 they suck willy. Probably the worst advice I have ever seen, what do you have to back up that statement? Quote Share this post Link to post
gaffeR 1,380 Posted July 21, 2013 IPhone 5, just my opinion, I've had iPhone's from the iPhone 2 an I've never been disappointed, there might not be much of a difference between the 4 and the 5 , however I phones are so easy to use and abuse I just find them amazing, I had a HTC and the battery was SOOOO shit, not saying the iPhone battery is amazing, but compared to the HTC its much better.

M1nt-l0u 1,235 Posted July 21, 2013 iPhones are limited, they are for people who seek a simplistic yet limited mobile experience. The OS is boring, iOS 7 looks worse. Multi-tasking is terrible, no Flash, very little customisation; everything technical is hidden behind idiot proof menus. iTunes, need I say anything? Quote Share this post Link to post
Hish0t 1 Posted July 21, 2013 Every phones battery is shit! but i think the battery from a Iphone les longer then a normal one. Quote Share this post Link to post
