I work in IT

I've had android tablets, and the google nexus 7
And I can tell you the google device was a much more polished product than the other android tablets.
So I'm sure the google nexus phones are better than the Samsung models in that respect
But they are not always cutting edge when it comes to features, so it's a compromise either way
Get the safe upgrade path?. Or have all the bells and whistles?

Interesting article. Thanks for the find.

Personally, I'm still waiting for the iPhone 6, maybe even for the 6S when that comes out. No complaints from my GS4 now. It does exactly what I need it to do.

And for what it's worth, I don't need an actual dock for anything. The fact that everything now is practically wireless makes it easy. Sure, bluetooth doesn't charge. But when I drive my daily (my truck), the USB port connects and charges my Android phone without issues. Extra features are exactly that. Isn't that what you all rag on the GS4 for? According to the fanboys it's a junk phone with just a bunch of gimmicks...

Like I said in the other posts about this debate... it's personal preference. The phones are all so similar in functionality today that it really doesn't matter.

iPhone 5s for sure. I have work android phones and its hell when I forget my iPhone 5 at home. Real world speeds are way better in the iPhone.
