Phone Choices

Hey LTT,

I'm going to be in the phone market around January 2015 and was wondering what the best of these phones is. I don't do any productivity on my phone and use it like any teenager. Though I do watch an insane amount of YouTube videos on my phone.

Right now I'm leaning towards the note for the insane specs, but I'm open to the other options. I've heard the M8 is hard to hold. Anyone have experience with that?

What are your opinions on these phones? Which would you chose?

I'm coming from an iPhone 5.

Thanks everyone!

Out of those options, the best balance would I guess be the Samsung S5, it has a good camera which the M8 lacks, has meh build quality which the Note 4 and M8 excel, but Note 4 may be too big (If it's not, then go for it) Note Edge seems like a complete gimmick ATM. I like the Note 4 the best out of the options. You could also wait and see what the next Nexus 6/X has to offer.

iPhone 6

 

I'll admit, the 6 Plus is too big. But the 6? Fuck every other phone.

 

Nice joke bruh :)

 

By then there probably will be a new iteration of the HTC One so you might wanna get that ;)

 

I wasn't aware the M9 (or whatever) would be coming out soon. Thanks for the heads up!

I'm leaning towards the new HTC One or the Note 4 ATM (:

  

If you can a OnePlus One.

If not the One M8

  

I wanted the one plus one so bad but it's not on Verizon unfortunately

Haven't ever looked at the Nexus line up before. I like big phones as well (good thing to put in the OP lol forgot) so the

Note is appealing. I'll look at the nexus!

The M8 seems like a crowd favorite but I'm in between the Note and new One. Any idea when the M9 (or whatever) comes out?

I'm about to check out the Nexus line as well!

Thanks for the responses every one!
