hey everyone, for the last year and a half i have been using a galaxy s3 and just recently broke the phone and now I;m in the market for a new one. things im looking for in the phone

 

-ability to use on straight talk since it is such a better deal then other carriers.

 

-Preferably aluminum body since that was one thing that bothered me with the s3 was the cheap plastic.

 

-A decent camera, but dont need anything fantastic.

 

-be able to get through a good day of texting/ other usage. Some days i had to charge my s3 half way through the day.

 

-pretty good sound through audio jack since I listen to music daily and like good quality, dont really care how good the external speaker.

 

-Expendable storage would be nice but not a necessity

 

Ive been looking at the nexus 5 and seems to be one of my best options, though it doesnt have some of the things im looking for its such a good deal. Let me know what you guys think

 

Thanks!

I don't know how the prices are in your region (with or without contract) but you might also want to consider an iPhone if it's not to expensive. It's got good build quality, a great camera but unfortunately no expendable storage and you have to like iOS

My personal rig: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/139780-zalman-my-first-build/

I use it partially as a Hackintosh. Don't judge me.

Just don't...

 

And not necessarily a 5s, you can also get an old model for a lower price

OH NO!That's even worse.

 

Nexus 5 is da boom.

i have nothing against going with an iphone. The black iphone 5 is probably one of the sexiest phones ive ever seen but iphones can be a little pricey unless you go with an older model like the 4

You think it is worth it to wait for the oneplus one or just go for the nexus 5

You should try at least one. They actually make some good stuff. Definitely laptops if you don't need to game on one. And it's hard to actually hate a product unless you try one (don't be one of THOSE guys).
