Looking for a phone upgrade

so here is my situation, I currently have a Iphone 4s 16 gb on the AT&t network. My contract doesn't end until this upcoming summer and my iphones battery life has been horrendous. ever since the first year of my contract being up, I have contemplated switching to andriod. So since this is the holiday season I want to use some of the money that I get to buy a used phone that will be nice until my contract ends and I resign and I can just sell that phone back. I want to buy a phone at the price range of $300-350. Here are what I am considering *note* I wouldn't mind going a little bit over that.

 

 Not in any particular order.

 

1. HTC one 

2. Galaxy note 2

3. Nexus 5.

 

I just want to hear some opinions on those devices and which of any would be worth it the most. And don't you all just say the nexus 5 because of the specs, I personally am questioning the nexus 5 because of the camera and the stock andriod feel that I personally do not want. Thanks again

I kind of agree but I personally would choose the note 2 based on the battery life aspect, that is a big factor to me 

 

but ofcourse, the downfall in my opinion on the note 2 is the screen resolution.

The build on HTC One is excellent. I have one but there are some devices that have some constructions problems like gaps in the body and dead pixel. My HTC one has like 5 stuck pixel on a dark screen with full brightness. Most of the time I don't notice them. Other than that it is an excellent phone. 

The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.

LOL Are you trying to tag the @Assassin or @_Assassin_? Because everytime you put @_Assassin_ it tags me. (@Assassin)
