help me out breh's, what is the best phone to get? contract is up (sprint) i have the evo 3D ().


no I-phone recommendations though please , not my cup of tea.

I'd recommend the s4. The note 3 is a slightly better phone but not worth the extra dollars you would pay for it. That is if you dont want to wait until next year for the heat to drop.

Update: Best Buy has now lowered the price down to $449.99, matching the off-contract price of Sprint. This leads us to believe that the originally listed price of $799.99 was likely just an error.

Based on the phones Motorola announced were getting a were getting the KitKat 4.4 update and the fact that Galaxy Nexus isn't getting the update, it's safe to say any Android Phone/tablet that has a Texas Instruments OMAP SoC, won't be getting an update.

Pretty gay as TI had a good history supporting their SOCs. They exited the SOC business so I can see where they just gave up.

To be fair, group texting in general was a big fail on all Android phones prior to 4.2

Nexus 5: New king of color accuracy

Today dutch tech site Tweakers.net released its review of the Nexus 5 and included a DE2000 color accuracy test comparison, the same Anandtech uses.
AFAIK this is the first public Nexus 5 review that has this test in it and the results a pretty good! In fact it is the best screen the site has ever tested.



Compared to the previous top 3:

-Apple iPhone 5c: 2.6

-Apple iPhone 5s: 2.7

-Nokia Lumia 1020: 4.1

Also note that the nits corrected battery test for browsing is only 2 minutes behind the iPhone 5s and the video test is only 10% lower.
