My wife and I are with Verizon and plan on staying with them. My phone, and old Motorola Droid 2 Global, has some serious battery issues. I've replaced it, but the after-market battery sucks; I've had it less than six months and it's already running out of juice after one day of very limited use. It's time for this phone to go...
I've been looking at several models, and I think I've got it narrowed down to what seem to be the two most popular choices in their line: the Samsung Galaxy S5 and the LG G3. Unfortunately, I've got analysis paralysis and cannot seem to make a choice.
Both phones are big. I think I can live with that as I use my phone as a texting, navigation, and internet access device way more than I use it as a phone. In any case, I'll probably pick up another Bluetooth earpiece so I don't have to hold this brick up next to my head... I'm also planning on buying an Otterbox Defender case, regardless of the final phone choice.
I like the dust and water resistance offered by the Samsung phone. I also like the (apparent) quality of the pictures it'll take during daylight hours, and the brightness level of the screen. I don't like the amount of so-called "Bloatware" that arrives with the phone. I'm also less than impressed by the sound quality of a speakerphone conversation.
The LG's got a larger screen, though it's not quite as bright and can appear to be a bit washed-out. The camera has better low-light functionality. The battery life is slightly less than the Samsung, though either will represent a 200% improvement over my existing phone
Given the limited interaction I've had with the two phones, I think I like the UI of the LG a bit better.
Like I said: I'm deadlocked. IMO, neither one has strong enough points to set itself above the other. They both have week points or things I don't think I like.
Help!
