The wife & myself are both going to get new smart phones this week and finally ditch our Motorola flip phones (Tundra & Razr).

Neither of us have ever owned a smart phone. We went phone shopping this evening and we looked at the new I-Phone 6 and the Samsung Galaxy S5.

It will be one of the two above that we will get.


Give me advice & pros/cons on both please. Not sure on which route to go since neither of us have had a smart phone before.


Thanks.

If you've never had one you won't know the difference until it's too late. For that reason get the Samsung. You're welcome.

The I Phones are much more user friendly, IMO.

I've owned droid and now an iPhone. I really think it's whatever you get used to. I hated my iPhone for the first 6-8 months after owning an android, but it's okay now. If I had a choice I'd go back with droid I believe, but I like to FaceTime my kids when I'm at the fire station, so when I get a new one, it'll be the iPhone 6.
(This is probably not much help with the galaxy, but I'd guess its close to the droid.)

If you desire user friendly, clean operation, and few glitches: iPhone

If you want flexibility, non-apple, more cutting edge features: droid

What he said. I have an IPhone and will be changing back to the droid when it's time for upgrade.

X2 I wouldn't get a new iPhone until they've had time to work out all the kinks.

I had Android for years before switching to an iPhone. You couldn't pay me to go back to an Android.

I'm still running a iPhone 3Gs.

id go with the samsung. I love the droid operating system, and hate the apple. But I know some people who are right opposite. I dont know if it has changed but apple tried to charge for everything. music,ring tone,wall papers, and made it so if they sent pics to other phones, the pic was super small. The apple dose have alot more as far as shells,cases,docking station, water proof speaker box to jam to while floating down the river, and stuff like that. Either way, get some insurance on the phone.

Samsung S5. Best smart phone I've had. AND..the battery will stay charged all day. I don't have to worry about recharging it during the day. If I don't mess with other than it sitting on standby, it will stay charged for 2 days.

Had the galaxy s5 for a couple months now and it is hands down the best phone I've ever owned. Don't forget it's waterproof,so no worries when you get drunk and jump in the pool. I've shot multiple underwater videos with mine and no problems afterwards with no case at all.

I have an iPhone 5s and I really like it. I have had droids in the past and i like the iphone better. My wife has the Galaxy 5 and she loves it. It is really a toss up.

Behind you
I had a galaxy s5 for several months. SOB was WAY smarter than I was. Hard as hell to operate. I lasted about 3 months until it went the way that all smartphones go for me: to the grave. I tear one up about every 4-6 months.

If you want user friendly, iPhone.

If you care at all about downloading Disney apps for your kids or grand kids then 100% get the iPhone. I got my two little girls Nabi's (kid tablets) that run on a Droid operating system and I promise that Walt Disney and Bill Gates have some sort of an agreement...there ain't much as far as Disney that currently works on an Android operating system.

I've torn up both iPhone's and Galaxy's....so I don't have a recommendation on the durability

Why are you getting rid of the flip phone? I am thinking of going back to one.

Wife & I both got the Samsung S5's with Otter Box Defender cases.

Got both phones in black and she got a black case and I got the camo.

I like mine so far. I think Renee likes hers as well.

Thanks for the thoughts all shared.
