Author Topic: should i get a gs5 or iphone 6?  (Read 2299 times)

if you get a case then yes




if you get a case the iphone 6 does not bend


-it's smaller than a brickpeople are telling you to go with everything but the iphone and you're still leaning towards it
stop
and it is not bs
jeez i guess he cant make his own decision then

it's that every andriod device is typical other than features. idk why but iphone really appeals to me. it's a hard decision.

I never thought someone would enjoy less features?

I guess its just a peasant race thing.

do i have to repeat "no bias"? the contrast and the display is sharp, definitely better than the typical android ui.

Of course there will be bias when Android is objectively better than iPhone.

Why is Android objectively better than iOS?

 Cheaper price points for low end phones
Similarly priced Android phones outperform iPhones
 Extended batteries (not just cases, actual batteries)
More user hardware freedom (SD cards, repairs, batteries, mini HDMI, etc)
 More user software freedom (immediate USB storage without iTunes malware, rooting, custom ROMs like CyanogenMod)
Better with actual computing. Apple made iOS to accompany their other (also expensive) Macs. Apple intentionally removes functionality that could lose them a sale of a $2000 Mac. Google doesn't care what it kills and replaces. They just keep making it more powerful with each and every release. It's even a viable OS for netbooks and low-end laptops now.

Any other Android options besides S5?

Definitely get an Android device. Preferably one that does not have Touchwiz, but if you have no other options, get the S5.

If you can, get a Moto X 2014. If not, look for an LG G3 or HTC One M8.

was thinking about g3 too, forgot to mention.

OK, if you can't get the One M8 or Moto X get that.

I know a couple people who have them and they feel awesome in the hand.

I honestly wouldn't base your phone decision on the blockland forums as it is clearly android bias. My suggest would be go to the store and figure out which one you like using more. iOS is extremly simple and nice to use, rarely lags or crashes. Android is if you are a big techy and want to customize every aspect of your phone.

In my biased opinion I would say go with the iPhone 6, I like using it much better than android but thats just me. As I said, go try it and use it for a few mins at the store.

I would also suggest looking up iOS and Android comparisons.

I had this, absolutly hated it. Imo its build quality was stuff (I mean its plastic) and android was really laggy for me.
