Next month I’m moving out and not taking a landline so I’ll be somewhat forced into having a cellphone not just on prepaid cards anymore and where I live the selection is pretty limited and I’ve pretty much limited my choice to two cellphones.

Samsung Galaxy S4 mini
AND
Nexus 5.

Not going for an iphone since they’re freaking 70$/month at least. Not touching that with a stick.

So here’s the issue, while the S4 mini size factor is pretty near perfect for my needs it lacks in power and screen quality vs the nexus 5. However the nexus 5 is quite the chunk and has less battery life from what I heard. I really wonder how I’ll fit that in my pocket with all my other EDC stuff. I will obviously carry the phone in my pocket. Not on a belt attachment.

So what are you guys opinion on this subject . Is it better to deal with having a larger but more powerful cellphone or go with the smaller one and just don’t care and enjoy the practicality of it.
