Newish Phone Time

So my charging port on my HTC One M7 took a deuce last night. Well it only charges if you have something on the cord. It's annoying. Anyways I have an upgrade but really don't want to spend any money on it (I'm cheap when it comes to phones). Anyways they have the following for free with an upgrade:

1. Samsung Galaxy Note 4

2. Samsung Galaxy 5

3. LG G3 (which I'm leaning heavily towards)

Those are the three I am interested in. Opinions?

If you've previously won the build off please pm me so we can get something worked out.

Yes three to be exact. I didn't want it to be the port cause I absolutely love this phone.

if you used 3 cords that did not have to problem before it is likely the port then. you can likely perform surgery and fix/replace the charging module

 

of the 3 new phones i would take the note 4 (i would take the note 4 over the note 5 tbh)

Ok, maybe get the M8 or M9 if you like your M7

I only want phones that are free with 2 year upgrade. I never have spend any money upgrading a phone yet. Plus the battery life stinks on HTC which is why I'm converting.

If you've previously won the build off please pm me so we can get something worked out.

Which one would pick out of the two and why?

I'm not sure, since I'm still using my Note 3 but if I'd had to choose one I would probably go for the note 4 because of the design, bigger screen, s pen and also the larger battery. But it's really up to you, I would recommend you go to a store and take a closer look at the devices to see which one of them you like most. Also reading or watching some reviews is always great :) Hope I could help you c:

Perfect I have been reading reviews, I am caught between my everlasting love for the design and interface of the g3 or the note 4 cause of the bigger specs/screen. I think the note 4 is going to win tho cause it seems like it has better battery life.
