                I`m an iPhone user for about 3.5 years, and am starting to look forward for possibility to upgrade for newer model. By this time my 4s will be already almost 3 years old, which isn't a lot but i don`t believe that it will be able to run ios8 smoothly and the battery will most likely be done by this time. So I am starting to look around for possible replacements, and i must say that i am more then impressed by these specs and opportunities that Samsung do offer with this phone. And i am not talking about some 5 inch screen size, i am talking about the whole thing as it is, the only lack here i see is a design. Yes apple can do some stunning design but, that's it! What i do see for last few apple releases, there is nothing much except design and software upgrade, the rest is some minor hardware changes, which doesn't offer a lot. And i don`t believe that this september will be much different, maybe some design refresh, bigger screen and finally 2Gb ram and that's it. So my point is that Samsung board, should finally dismiss existing designer and finally come up with some solid thinning one! And i do believe if apple won`t come up with stuff that would offer at least 85% off this, they will have to face some hard times.

                      Apple phones: 4s and 5s are best phones

                      Cons: Too Costly, Almost you have to buy every App.
                      Nokia: All lumia series
                      Pros: Known for best camera and windows phones.
                      Cons: Less Apps, slightly difficult to use & thicker phones.
                      Samsung: S3, Note 2 & Note 3 are best. (S4 is also good but not that great it is having some lags).
                      Pros: Number of models in all Price range. Lot of features like smart stay, sensors & etc.,
                      Cons: All looks like same no matter how much money you invest.
                      Sony: SP and Z series
                      Pros: Good Built in Quality, slightly cheaper than others, having good camera.
                      Cons: If you got repairs, simple you have to go for new one means individual parts are too costly.
                      HTC: One and desire series
                      Pros: Good built in Quality, great touch sense UI, good speakers and having beat audio.
                      Cons: very sensitive, battery backup is not good.
                      LG: Only G series and Nexus series are the best in LG.
                      Motorola: Moto G and Moto X are the best mobiles.
                      And other companies I never used them so I am unable to tell.
                      Note : This is only just my view……….

                        Anonymous, 25 Mar 2014that's because your used to not having a radio on the iPhone. I have 8gb of music on my s2 and... moreFreedom is not bondage, unlike the built in radio slave to the wired headset.

                        Freedom is not confining and relying news and songs to the phone radio only.

                        Freedom is having different options to choose from for listening to radio.

                        Freedom is not limiting oneself to the local radio stations only which the built in radio can broadcast.

                        Freedom is not locked to the local radio stations only and not locked to the wired headset.

                            And your country is not the same as the whole world and not all people have the same preferences like yours.
                            So don't generalize.

                                    My Note 2 can last longer with up to 7 hours of screen usage, with downloading over 1GB of torrents, over an 18 hours of usage.
