Iphone & Android Phone. Which one will you choose?
 

I am using my Iphone 4 for almost 2 years more already and now I thinking to change to Samsung. All friends around me are using Samsung Product and according to them their features are more strong. For me, I like their big screen and their variety of android apps. But my budget around RM1500-RM1700. Do you think i can have this phone?

I'm surprised not to have found an existing thread on the subject. If someone does, please bring it to my attention and I'll merge. Please don't let this devolve into an Apple/anti-Apple rant thread.

Get whichever you want and can afford. Me, I just upgraded from an iPhone 4 to an iPhone 5c. I'm very happy. It's a great speed improvement. That's me though. Both Android and Apple iOS are pretty good, so you really can't go wrong with either one.

I just went from an iPhone 5 to 5s. There wasn't enough in the Android camp that was amazing enough to make the jump yet. Gear looks cool, Note was def a contender, Nexus not available on Verizon.

a 5 inch screen iPhone...........oops its not here yet :)

Having had both a Galaxy S2 and an iPhone 4S, I would say I preferred the Android phone, mostly because of its flexibility, and better features. It annoys me on my iPhone that I can't have a seperate volume setting for texts, emails, ringer, etc. Sadly, my only option from work with the Galaxy was with T-Mobile, and at home and the place I travel to for work, my signal was terrible on T-Mobile. I had better signal in Mexico than at home. The only other option was an AT&T iPhone, which is what I have now. It's OK for what it does, I just don't like it as much. Too locked down, and too new of an iOS to jailbreak!

Hard to believe that anyone could want a phone that's not as big as a tablet, eh? :)

Think again. Since you use an iPhone, go into a Samsung store and play around with one of their phones for several minutes. Chances are you'll forget about switching altogether and be very happy to stick to your iPhone (or get a newer model).

I had iPhone(s) before and switched to Galaxy S3 in 2012

Android / Samsung (ie: S3):
Software and UI flexibility,
Larger screen,
Removable battery (easy to carry and change battery)
Memory card up to 64Gb (nice to be able to carry up to 128Gb of docs, pictures, films, music, etc. at the same time, and to able to switch memory cards too)

The only case I'll go for an iPhone... if I've a laptop / desktop from Apple

Just my 2 cents ;-)

I moved from an iPhone 4 to the Google Nexus. Price/Performance wise it blows the iPhone out of the water.

Not a huge apps user - 90% of my use is mail, messaging, maps and calendar. All the apps I had on my phone are there on Android.

I also have a Nexus 7 tablet and use Gmail as a personal calendar and contacts list - all work seamlessly from PC to devices.

I loved my iPhone 3Gs and there was nothing at the time to beat it. Now there is.

Depends. When you were a kid did you enjoy building model cars or just playing with toy cars?

If you liked building model cars than you'd be happy with an android. All sorts of widgets/options to configure/play with.

If you liked just taking a pre-built toy car out of the box and start playing with it then the iPhone is for you. Not much to screw with, just start using it.

I did exactly what you suggested yesterday and have to agree. One gets the impression that a Samsung phone is merely a list of specs and features, while the iPhone is a clean, well though out, and balanced product.

I will be switching to the iPhone 5s (from a Nokia E series).

After having every iPhone from the first model, and ordering them all on day one, I thought I would stay with IOS. I got sick of their closed system, and really tired of waiting for a jailbreak for each new version. I tried a Galaxy S3 and sold my new iPhone 5 and never went back. The large screen is impressive. I got an S4 and now have a Note 3. Much more flexible and the screen size is huge.

I dont see myself going back to apple any time soon.

My husband and I decided to both get Note 3s. We were in Korea for a month and a half visiting family and everyone had a Note. My husband promptly dropped his in the toilet a few weeks after getting it (thank you chase purchase protection for covering that and promptly sending me a check lol). So he has an iphone again. But I really like my Note so far. Some functions seem slightly less stable than my iphone. But i LOVE the screen size and I use the s-pen all the time. And the screen doesn't seem big at all. When I use an iphone now, it seems way too tiny to do anything productive.

I've been using Android phones for three years now. Last year I got an iPad, and was impressed with it enough that I was thinking about switching to an iPhone. However, the lack of Swype and wifi calling is enough to keep me on Android (and T-Mobile) for now, and I just upgraded from a Galaxy S III to a Note 3.
