Galaxy vs iPhone - which one is better?

Well my current 4s has a cracked screen so I would be "upgrading" to an uncracked screen

Thanks for the feedback!

if you have LTE in your area then it might be worth it to go iphone 5. LTE + iPhone 5 = Awesome

I prefer the Galaxy over the iPhone.

That said, it's a different operating system. You will need to build up a new app library when switching devices. This might mean buying the same apps again. If that is a concern, then I would stick with the iPhone.

I was thinking about this question too! I currently have a Motorola Atrix and was thinking about upgrading to the iPhone 5. If you're not in a real rush to upgrade, I would suggest waiting until next year (new phones of Q1, maybe?). If none of the new Android tickle your fancy at that time, then go with the iPhone. The Galaxy S4 is rumored to come out next year, so if you're not into custom romming and want to stay with updates then iPhone would be better IMO, because it constantly stays up to date rather than Androids that get old after 6 months.

Androids are very nice though.

Play with both in a store. Pretty much every major app anymore is available on both platforms so just figure out which interface you like better.

*every phone out there has a battery which begins to diminish after its 100th charge. So I think being able to replace a battery is a pretty big issue

This is an open ended question and as useful as saying what's better an Alienware or a Dell?

maybe some of Alienware's which is known for gaming, has business model's are more suited for a student, whereas some of Dell, which is known for businesses and students, has models more suited for gaming

The quesiton is what do YOU want?

Personally I always choose the android. An analogy to PC, while a MAC offers ease of use, it has huge compatability and poor follow up issues. Take for instance iTunes, there are some things 8 years later that I can't do that are pretty basic on iTunes, like reading lyrics, seeing the average decibels for a song, or reducing the 'volume' of a sound of all songs by default across different devices. You also can't sync non Apple products with ease (ie a Zune). A lot of security and licensing issues too (DRM).

Android has a very standard google platform where typing in your email will pretty much bring everything up from apps you've installed, to your gmail, youtube accounts etc. Even from a wipe or when you get a NEWer phone

If I were considering a droid right now I would only look at three models based on battery life and rough advantages.

Razor HD- Amazing battery life,7 days on a custom rom, great screen, beautiful build quality. look up the external battery or sd card for here

Google Nexus- straight from google, so it has all of the updates directly from google.

Samsung Galaxy s3- great support for custom development, overall the best all around phone, more support than the nexus, but less battery than the Razor. An external battery and memory card, great acessories like a thin screen protector, an extended batteries, good prices, and a great variety, have one, got it for $150 on contract, and never looked back. really fast but battery efficient dual core processor.

You could also 'root' or jailbreak your phone and have custom applications and administrative rights installed on it MUCH easier than apple. Say you use it only for texting and browsing and want to lower the speed of the cpu so you burn less battery, using low intensity processes and applications, you can go into your phone and lower the cpu/voltage on your phone.

An android is basically a mini PC, you have a lot of customization, it has a lot of uses, independent support, and is cross compatible and developed. Apple is like OS, its great, slim, colorful but simple, has compatability issues, hard to troubleshoot, and lacks a lot of non-Apple devloplement. In my opinion overpriced hardware with ease of use and compatability with largely only apple products. The inability to buy say an extended battery and replace it, or more memory for apple is the icing on the cake for me and a lot of smart consumers (basically is the difference in cost between say a 16gb iphone 5 and a 32gb iphone 5 worth more than a 32gb microsd card you would stuff into your android?..no). Although the iPhone is the most sold SINGLE phone on the market, Android phones (remember there's more than one of them) are taking over and for good reason.

Apple also only offers one phone. Android as I showed above came in a lot of flavors.
Another point about Android, I can't remember the last time I paid for an app. There are very few you should be paying for. And the rooted/jalbroken apps are nothing short of amazing. They allow you to make backup copies/images of your phone like you do your computer

GREEN ME for this post

come on BRO
you know waht I mean

Dell's general lines (inspiron) vs Alienware.

Also I haven't looked into Alienware since like my first year of college and that was 7 years ago

doubletwist. You can use it with iTunes actually. The customization on playlist options are there on the PC end but are tricky to access, so be warned (ie sort by date created)

I have the iPhone 5 but wish I had went with the Note2. The iPhone might be the all around better phone, but I could really make use of the bigger screen on the Note2. Oh well.
