So I am eligible for a phone upgrade but I've been holding off.
I currently have an iPhone 4S and I didn't really see much in the iPhone 5S that was worth upgrading.
I've heard it has a nicer camera, but really, what else is there?
I was planning on trying the Samsung Galaxy S5 when it is released, but I've read so many rumors on it's capabilities, that I am not sure what to believe.
I thought one of the benefits of the android phones is having the ability to upgrade the storage, and the ability to store files on the phone (for example, PDFs, Excel, Word, etc).
I don't really have any complaints about the iPhone 4S other than it just feels boring at this point. But it does do what I need, mostly.
I was just curious if you guys have any insights into other phones that might make me want to switch.
Please advise.

What didn't you like about the Galaxy S3?

well for one the battery life .. i always had to carry my charger with me, it got so bad that i had to buy external battery and leave it to charge overnight. Next problem was the lag. Everyday i had to restart and pull the battery. I don't know if mine was defective (i bought it used) but i talked to anyone who had S3 and they had similar issues. The app selections was good, i won't lie, and the fact that it was so easy to get cracked apps was a bonus. But i barely use apps. My phone was strictly used for texting and calling, and the S3 wasn't too good with that. I had missed calls all the time. I had to keep deleted text messages every week cause the phone couldn't handle it. I always had to force close apps.

It was too much of a hassle and i just didn't want to deal with it. Used the Q10 for a bit till i saved up enough for the 5S. Never looking back.

i miss the S3 screen cause of the vibrant colors, but the iphone just what i need. I don't need the extra bullshyt that i never used anyway. I barely watch any movies or youtube videos. Just browse the net mostly.

Wrong. iOS battery management (was) much better than Android. shyt my patna jus got rid of a gs3 that would last like 2 hours off the charger. iOS is more efficient with its 1400mah

IOS is crippled bro. THIS IS COMMON KNOWLEDGE. Better battery management my ass. APPLE kill apps thats running in the background. IOS 7=IOS 6 with a new look. My nexus 5 have good stand by time too. Use the iphone and tell me it last all day.
