KeymasterI have the otterbox commuter right now. Nice balance between size and protection. There are like a thousand different cases for the S4 and extended batteries and SD cards… Win all around!

KeymasterS4. Apple lost me when they promised a bigger screen and all they did was make it longer. Some of us do require something like a wider screen, but not as much as a Note.

KeymasterGo for S4, the Android features has been way ahead IOS nowadays. The hardware specs is also better in S4.

KeymasterS4 has a custom made vanilla ROM without bloatware. It can be installed on the standard S4.
If you want a Note, wait for the imminent Note 3.

KeymasterSo I guess there is a question on the table. What are you using this thing for?

KeymasterI vote Galaxy S4. I had a 4s and played with an S3 a little and that is what made me decide o. The S4. I like how unlimited it is, you can customize it how you want, not able to do that with out jailbreak on iPhone.

KeymasterDo give some serious though to size, the S4 is probably twice the size of the iPhone. I have an S3 personally but money being no object I’d probably use a caseless iphone 5 and just have an Android tablet at home for consumption. Just for how much easier it would be in the pocket.
That said I do think Android is the better OS, just be sure your up for that much bigger size in pocket 🙂
Now Lets get a small high end Android phone please someone!

KeymasterTwice the size? That’s a bit of hyperbole, don’t you think?
People make way too big a deal about the size on android phones. I use a Note II (the largest widely available phone on the market at this point) and I can probably count on one hand the number of times its size has been a detriment instead of an asset. I love being able to type in portrait mode instead of landscape and actually see what is on the screen without squinting.

KeymasterI’ll tell you what, If you are trying to downsize your EDC, I dropped carrying my wallet 90% of the time now due to my S4. Google Wallet is great. Most of the places I frequent, have the NFC CC machines and I pay that way. Even better, if you can get the S4 Active, that is a great device. Water resistant, etc. The S4 is nice and polished as far as the UI goes. If you want it even ‘Simpler’ theres a setting for that also!

KeymasterI went with the iPhone 5. I have no regrets.
