Best smart phone?

FantasticMrFox

Picked up the Galaxy S4 last weekend. Its a pretty good phone, bit too big though ( its the same size as the S3 with a slightly bigger screen). I reckon iPhone is the ideal size but I prefer getting an android as I can customise it more. Wanted to get the HTC One but they havent released it in South Africa yet. The camera's low light performance for the One is way better than the S4. There was a lot of criticism regarding the plasticy feel but dont see that as an issue as I use a case for any phone I get. Samsung has also included an additional two year accidental warranty for the whole of Southern Africa, which includes 2 accidental breaks or liquid damage.

Iphone is tiny, feels like a toy.

Got me an Xperia ZL, really cool device and very manageable for a 5" screen.

Thought Samsung was too big too but it definitely works better for browsing and videos. Get used to the size too.

Love 4G, so quick!

A year or so on, I've come to the conclusion that tablets coupled with a free subscription to Netflix should be provided free by the government for all sufferers of insomnia.

I need to get a new phone. It's all so confusing for my tiny little mind though.

I'd argue it's the cause of the insomnia...

Love the htc one, expecting to move country again soon so couldn't sign up for a contract. Had to go sim free so got the HTC One X + for half the price of the one (315). Should arrive Monday il post if i like it. Its going cheap now since it doesn't have 4G

I am on the HTC One X since a while. Well happy with it too as an upgrade on the HTC Desire HD I used to have.

I always get the iPhone, I like the integration with other apple products (as a mac, iPhone, iPad, ipod owner).

Rex

I have no love for Apple at all.

Even the fact that the iPhone 4 charger is not compatible with the iPhone 5?

That is irritating, very irritating!

Luckily I currently have a 4S, but I'll be getting the 5S when it comes out so I'll have to buy new cables and docking stations 🙁

I probably would have never bought an iPhone on my own, but i was gifted one fortuitously. After having owned it for over an year, i find it one of the most easy to use/intuitive tings to use. Also helps that i am no geek and use it for simple tasks mainly. Find 4S to be best iteration.

Iphone are for people who use phone simplistically. It does everything well, don't over complicate stuffs but can't customise as well
