What phone should I get (Sprint)

moonedunk

It's time to upgrade from my galaxy s3. Anyone have any phone recommendations? The new note edge looks pretty neat.

I don't want to start the android vs. iPhone debate, but I had a S4 and now have a iPhone 6 and prefer it over the galaxy, just my opinion though!

The 6 plus looks nice, I like how big the battery is.

HTC M8 is good if you watch a lot of videos or listen to music. LG G3 is just an overall beast, but at a relatively small size. Nexus 6 is a beast and its huge, but best of all it comes with stock Android Lollipop. The Note 4 and Edge are pretty good phones, but they are weighed down by TouchWiz(the features are welcomed, the bloatyness is not). Not sure if Sprint has the 2014 Moto X, but thats also a good phone.

Pretty much all I use my phone for is music and snapchat xD I was actually looking into the M8 it looks really nice asthetics wise

why do people keep recommending the m8 even though it's outdated already pretty much.

Well it may be outdated but it is far from bad. :o

Note Edge if you dont mind the size, I wish Verizon had it already.

First, switch off of Sprint, their coverage is shit and they cost more than Verizon and AT&T, if you need to save money then switch to T-Mobile, you will get just as shitty coverage and you will actually save some money.

To say its outdated is a bit of an exaggeration. Sure out of the current line up it is the oldest, but only by a few months. The processor isn't the newest, but its not much different from the latest Snapdragons. Other than that its still a great device. It could be as old as the Motorola Admiral, which Sprint still carries.

If OP is satisfied with Sprint then there is no need to switch. Sprints coverage is pretty good on the east coast, so depending on where OP lives coverage might not be an issue(same goes for speed). The cost is a bit of a weird one, because it changes too much. At one point I was paying $65 for 1Gb on Verizon(this wasn't that long ago either).

The iPhone is great for taking pictures and listening to music(with earphones/headphones). The M8 has a great selfie camera and decent rear camera and a above average dac that is better than most phones sans the iPhones.

Impossible

yes there is

Sprints coverage is pretty good on the east coast,

 

so depending on where OP lives coverage might not be an issue(same goes for speed).

 

Yeah, if you live in a main city and never venture outside of it

The cost is a bit of a weird one, because it changes too much.

 

A month or so I did my own comparison of the prices of all four carriers, from my conclusion (bring in your own phone) ATT is just as cheap as T-mobile therefore making Tmobile pointless, and Verizon doesn't give any discounts for owning a device, so they were a bit more expensive than ATT, and Sprints site is just slow as hell and They are just as expensive as Verizon, but their coverage sucks ass compared to Verizon so whats the point.

At one point I was paying $65 for 1Gb on Verizon(this wasn't that long ago either).

 

Good to know.
