Alright, guys, here's the run down. I'm currently using an iPhone 4s and I'm due for an update this week. I use my phone mostly for music, texting, Tumblr, and taking pictures/videos. I don't really play games on my phone because usually my battery dies too quickly. I doubt that would change with a new phone because I'm more then happy playing games on my computer. I use most of the social apps like Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, and possibly Instagram. I plan on installing a new launcher and stuff so the UI out of the box doesn't really matter. I could care less about the build quality because I'm just going to get a plastic phone case anyways. Also, being able to expand the storage with MicroSD is a must. Any suggestions on what phone I should get? I know you're all into the M8 so if you could list reasons why a specific phone would be better than another, that'd be great. Thank you!

Been looking at the Galaxy S4 & S5.

TL;DR

Upgrading from a 4s and I'm looking for a phone with:

  • Expandable Storage
  • Respectable camera
  • Good/decent battery

Don't care for:

  • Build quality (Example: Galaxy S5 Plastic vs HTC One M8 Metal)
  • Speaker quality or loudness
  • Out of the box UI

htc m8 or galaxy s5. both are equal, with the htc m8 being slightly faster, and the s5 having a better camera. 

 

but you better get rid of touchwiz. it is disgusting.

I have the S5 and I love it. Like you I don't care about speaker quality or loudness or build materials. The biggest features of the S5 that I love are: it's water resistant and the auto focus on the camera is lightning fast! Battery life is great. 2 days of medium to heavy usage or 3 days with light use age. Screen is also amazing and haven't had trouble viewing it in bright light unlike previous Samsung phones.
