The Official: All Things Phone Thread
Haha I still have my AT&T Galaxy S3... Im due for an upgrade just not sure what I want. Definitely not the iPhone 6 only because I have one for work, so either the Note 4 or see if I can hold out for the GS6.

I am still using my iPhone6. For me, it's just fine because I don't really do much with my phone and it always has to work (on call and stuff). My Nokia Lumia 1020 came back to life after I fully reset it and it did a bunch of updates. The camera started working again and since I liked it so much, I decided to try it again. I just carried it with me and used it on WiFi for anything I would normally use my iPhone for (camera, checking apps, etc). It was pretty glitchy and then the last straw was when I came into a room and saw two friends and tried to take their picture and it just flat would not do it. So, I guess I am going to stick with the iPhone. I have to admit I miss the camera on the Lumia - mostly indoors and low light situations - and I did like the way I could customize the desktop. The iPhone is just a grid of apps.
I came in here to ask about the Galaxy S models though. My pops has a Galaxy S3 and he really likes it, but it just did this weird thing where the screen does not come on any more but the phone works. He was asking me if he should upgrade to a later model but I guess he read some bad stuff about the S4 and did not know much about the S5. He really likes his S3. Seems like he should just find a used S3 right? Let me know if there is anything way better about the new models if someone can chime in.

The S6 is rumored to be a complete refresh/redesign so we'll see what happens when that comes out.
People also are pretty happy with the Moto X and the Nexus 6, which is basically a bigger screened Moto X
The S4 was a 'refinement' of the S3, while the S5 was selling mostly on the name alone. It's definitely one of the more popular flagship Android phones out there, however I'd probably look at the Note line, or the LG G3 before I picked up an S5.

I'm still on my Nexus5. Still works great.

Still on my note 3 and been totally happy with it.
There is a bad *** phone coming out soon and if it's everything they say it is.... Awesome. I'll link it once I'm back in the office.

I really hope Google refreshes the N5 this year because I'd like to stay under the 5' screen size.
I went to a Oneplus One. The N5 is the perfect size. I dont think phones should be any bigger than that.



I couldnt afford Verizon anymore
