The iPhone 6 plus and the LG G3 are close in size and performance. I am probably leaning towards the G3 because I get bored fast and already had an iphone 4 and my current phone the Nokia Lumia 928(Windows Phone). I figured I would give android a shot so post any negatives below about android below. Things i don't like about Apple is using iTunes and the fact I cant remove the battery on an iPhone. The new iPhone doesn't come with a SD card slot as well. The display on the G3 has the most pixels of any phone on the market with its big 5.5 inch screen. So anyways what are your thoughts on these two phones and feel free to throw other phone/brands into the mix (Galaxy S5, HTC One M8, etc). LG G3 Specs: Color: Metallic Black, Silk White, Shine Gold CPU Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 801 Quad-Core Processor up to 2.5 GHz Operating System Android 4.4.2 KitKat Battery 3,000mAh / Removable /Optional Wireless Charging Display 5.5" Quad HD (2560 X 1440) IPS Camera Rear-Facing Camera 13MP Optical Image Stabilization+with Laser Auto FocusDual Flash Front-Facing Camera 2.1 MP Sound 1W Speaker with Boost Amp Connectivity Bluetooth 4.0 LE (APT-x) A-GPS, Glonass USB 2.0HS HDMI supported through SlimPort Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac NFC Memory Total Internal 3GB RAM / 32GB Memory(24GB user memory) External microSD up to 2TB** Edited September 16, 2014 by Xp3rT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I picked up a 64GB MicroSD card and now I have 96GB of storage. Not too bad. The phone was also on sale at Best Buy for $100. So in total I spent $130 under a 2 year contract for a fantastic device. The camera is amazing and the interface seems pretty solid and smooth. The battery is replaceable, another feature I feel is great if you want to use the device after you are done with it as a primary phone. Overall I am very happy with it. I am glad I went with this device over another iPhone. I should add I have been all iPhones in my house for 5 years. this was just way too nice of a device to pass up for the cost. If you are not able to get something now / in the next month it might be worth waiting to see what the next Nexus device is like. That is the only other Android device I would ever consider. Most other devices suffer from multiple flaws (ie Samsung's touchwiz is shit). Hope that helps! I am sure no matter what you get you will love it, these next few months should produce some great devices on the market.

But until my current phone, Sony Xperia Z2 (no not the tablet) is paied off, hens I'm locked for 24 months. After that I'll see if next is going to be iPhone. Depends on what my friends have. As it's easier to use same apps. What I really like to have is Samsungs YOUM phones. the one you pull out or unfold into a tablet. If they ever hit come to the consumers.http://youtu.be/EKyZy9Tgd6c Edited September 17, 2014 by ArticBlue87 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will say the new iOS 8 is stellar on my 'old' iPhone 5s and iPad Air in release form as of today. It's an ecosystem thing for most folks, if you like what you have then stick with it, if you don't you can try an/other side. Anecdotally, a buddy of mine got an LG G3 a couple of months ago. Nice phablet, big and beautiful screen, all because he 'couldn't wait' and as of a few weeks ago is regretting it, but he was an Apple guy to start out with. I've been an Apple guy for over 30 years so I'm not likely to change now, and given the experiences I go through on the enterprise side with BB, Windows and Android there is no compelling reason for me to even consider it. There is something to be said for trying them all, if you want to do that then have fun. Having said that, from an ecosystem standpoint on both the personal and enterprise side there's nothing that holds a candle to what the folks in Cupertino are doing presently. Maybe one day that will change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Awesome phone. As for an ecosystem...I prefer to live and do what I want on my land so a closed system like Apple is no good for me. Not to mention that it still pisses me off that Apple took FOSS tweaked it and called it IOS and then charged for it. I agree that Apple has a simplistic interface that works, but since they really haven't changed it...the only comparison I can come up with is and old tv with knobs and a fancy new tv with a remote... Both get the job done but one just doesn't compare to the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Nope, I respect and hope that everyone can maintain their ecosystem and I continue to love selling google, windows and rim products to our clients too. Especially when they want services, lmfao. I know based on my IT experience from over the last 30 years that I've made a good choice on my personal ecosystem, at least for now. How you view "climate change" (which is the modern reference to global warming since we are getting colder and warmer in different areas, mostly the former) is another thing entirely, especially since the dire predictions of the alarmists haven't come true in any discernible way so far. -YACCster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have tried iphones and I tend to stick with androids. it is a lot more user friendly in my opinion. but it also depends on the brand of anroid you get. different companies have different specs. so it really just depends on what you do/don't like.
