    Techtards: Should I get an iPhone 5S or a Galaxy S4?

    I've had the same phone for 2 years and I'm available for an upgrade.
    Which one should I get? Which one is faster, better reception? etc

        Galaxy really needs to look into its no reception/connectivity issues

        It's a great phone.. except for that whole 'Are you there?'

                  They're the 2 best and most cutting edge, I don't see any point in going with a different device

                                        Android is just like a pc. People that barely use any of the features can make calls and texts and get online and do basic stuff. But the advanced features and customizations are there for power users to take advantage of.

                                        As a related note, as someone who considers himself a power user, I'm always shocked when I see people who use a computer every day including adult webmasters who use a QWERTY keyboard, Firefox or chrome browser, Outlook or Gmail email and other popular apps etc who don't know anything about fine tuning their user interfaces such as windows shortcut keys and scripts to make their lives easier and work more efficient. I have all kinds of customizations in my apps and I could never go back to laboriously clicking and mousing all over the place to do so much work that I can do quicker by knowing my keyboard shortcuts and setting scripts up.

                                          I don't know. I have the same dilemma.

                                          I've had 2 Galaxy S phones (not counting replacements) and both, 9-10 months in, started to have a battery that drains fast. 2 had the USB port go bust and be completely unrecognizable to any computer.

                                          Then there's the sluggishness/stuttering with Android. Even 4.1 didn't fix it for me. 1GB ram and after I install a 5-6 apps like Outlook, Yahoo mail, TextMe, weather etc a few days later my phone is sluggish. Background processes seem to run in the without even being used.

                                          I'd go with an iPhone if it had at least a 4.5". Nokia 925 is another I've added to my list, since the 1020 is only on AT&T.

                                                I should be picking up my S4 next week.

                                                I wouldn't consider anything else to be honest...

                                                  just get an iphone and be happy. easy breezy. no need to come at people attempting to answer your fucking question.

                                                        I've had iPhone 3g, 3gs, 4, 4s, and 5. Last month I sold the 5 and bought the Galaxy S4. It is light years ahead of crapple. Unless you jailbreak your iPhone, then you can't download to your phone from the browser and access the files inside the file system. Android is for everyday usage with life.. Crapple is definitely Starbucks "look at me" mentality.

                                                              The iPhone is One of the Best Android Phones You Can Buy

                                                              I have both the S4 and the iPhone 5. The iPhone is a superior piece of hardware. There is no debating that. If you want your phohne to work, iOS does it. The only issues I've had have come after jailbreaking it and fucking around with it. I am running the latest iOS 7 developer beta and it quite nice.

                                                              Android is more flexible, that doesn't apply to the average user. But if you want to do something to change the look and feel of your device, it's fairly easy. This is where you want to be. This is actually the only reason I bought this phone. I can do what I want with this, so that I'm not fucking up my iPhone.

                                                              If you want the superior device, I say iPhone. The S4 is nice. I'd consider the new Moto X as well.

                                                              I'd also consider the Moto X. It looks like nice hardware. Nokia's is nice if you want to dive into Windows Phone.

                                                                It?s looking ominous in the smartphone market with South Korea?s Samsung Electronics and LG both increasing market share in the first quarter of 2013, according to UK-based researchers Juniper. Taking Juniper?s research alongside data from IDC it looks as though Samsung now has almost double Apple?s market share in smartphones.

Not fair to compare that many models which covers almost every need with basically one model of crapple. I would say crapple is even winning considered that. Just imagine if crapple had all that variety..

                                                                        The iPhone is One of the Best Android Phones You Can Buy

                                                                        I have both the S4 and the iPhone 5. The iPhone is a superior piece of hardware. There is no debating that. If you want your phohne to work, iOS does it. The only issues I've had have come after jailbreaking it and fucking around with it. I am running the latest iOS 7 developer beta and it quite nice.

                                                                        Android is more flexible, that doesn't apply to the average user. But if you want to do something to change the look and feel of your device, it's fairly easy. This is where you want to be. This is actually the only reason I bought this phone. I can do what I want with this, so that I'm not fucking up my iPhone.

                                                                        If you want the superior device, I say iPhone. The S4 is nice. I'd consider the new Moto X as well.

                                                                        I'd also consider the Moto X. It looks like nice hardware. Nokia's is nice if you want to dive into Windows Phone.
                                                                        what specifically is superior about iphone hardware? I mean actual specs/features, not the irrelevant detail that iphone has an aluminum case...

                                                                        here are some specs, how can you keep a straight face while saying that iphone has superior hardware?

They should had address the battery life or hand out a discount deal to a mophie case

I have the HTC DNA which is basically a step down from the One and love it. The One seems to be blowing critics away and the few people I know that have it rave about it.
