Apple or Samsung Phone?

both

buy Sony Xperia or xiaomi mi4 or one plus one

Apple is purely shit.

Samsung is not good, not bad.

Sony is nice.

HTC is good.

Nexus is god.

If you already own several Apple products, get the iPhone. It'll be more expensive overall and in the long run, but Apple products are designed in such a way that they interface beautifully with each other and lock you in. They're also subjectively prettier, and aftermarket accessories are really easy to find since all iPhones are designed exactly the same.

If you're on a budget, like developing apps, only need a few features or need ALL the features, or plan to root your phone and mess around with it (yes, this voids the warranty), get an Android. These also have the benefit of being easier to work with if you don't have an Apple product.

Personally I'd get an Android because 1. I am poor and 2. I don't actually like like overly simple locked down software, but that's just me.

Check out the phones and see his reviews for them. If you just want someone to convice you what the best phone is, keep listening to these guys. If you want to decide what phone suits you the best, then get to work and check out some unbiased reviews.

samsung, or google nexus

Why not a Nokia? I know Win8 isn't killer, but the phones are. That's quality material for a very good price and I don't miss bubble shooter games in exchange for 5 days of battery life.

Check some Nexus device or One Plus One.

I've been using both over the years and for phones I like Android alot better for the flexibility and price, performs just as well. I've mostly used Samsung to run Android, but there's plenty of good options. Apple you pay for the brand just to be able to do less with it. But for the tablets I really like Ipad alot more than the others in the long run.

spare yourself trouble and dont get a samsung i only have trouble with mine,i currently have a s4 had a s3 befor and both only gave/giving me problems its like some samsung sickness first few month all fine and later it starts restarting itself for no good reason at all while just typing a message or freezing,lags,battery dying super fast(i only use my phone for calls,texting,taking pics and sometimes music not playing games on it anymore).

also alot of people i know that have a samsung phone having the same problems.

i dont dislike apple but its way too annoying using itunes all the time just to get music on your phone and such.

Why dont you check out other brands like htc,sony,nexus?

anything that makes calls

Apple

This decision is highly depends on your own needs and ways of work... Apple or not Apple - is not what you have to decide. Instead, you should think, what you want from your phone, and in what way you want to use it. And then, when you know exactly what you want, you look at different phonas and say "Oh, this %phonename% can do %feature%, and that - can't, I need %feature% in my phone, so I should choose %phonename%"

I'd go for an HTC or Sony Xperia rather than the overpriced iPhone or stupid Samsung(lmao they literally make the worst android phones)

Anything but Apple. Much more expensive, much less hardware. In the end, it's like paying for the OS, or even... the Apple in its back.

I'm quite happy with my LG G2. LG is also cheaper and faster than its Samsung counterpart (G3 versus S5).

I just got another Moto G. I'll be giving the old one to my father.
Best bang for the buck in the lower-middle end, which is what I'd recommend for your first phone. You don't need an expensive flagship.

Don't buy a damn Iphone plz, just get any other brand and then you can use all the money you save for presents to your family. It's a win-win situation :)

Do you have Mac and enough money? Go for Apple!

Do you have enough money for iPhone but you like to pirate Apps and Music? Go for Samsung.

Do you use windows, U're not pirate and like privacy? Go for Nokia. (as Microsoft claims Windows 10 upgrades for all Lumia Windows Phones)

You don't care where you publish your personal info, like to watch sh*tload of advertisements and you accept that 3MB Flashlight app will read your SMS and contacts, check your position, internet connection, view your gallery and it will bring 20 announcements to launch it per day? Enjoy your new Android phone!

Caterpillar B15.

Depends what you'll use it for.

Look into the OnePlus One if it isn't a business phone.

Buy an iPhone if you have money for it. Don't listen to this fanboys, I have android phone and even though i love it because of limitless possibilites for customization, I find the lack of apps for certain stuff(music production, audio and video editing) pretty problematic at times. Also, if you are a gamer, iPhones have a bigger and better selection of games to play.

Nexus or Moto will give you great spec phone for far far less cash. They also get upgrades to OS quick and with the extra cash left over you can buy other stuff

Oneplus. I can get you an invite.

I would prefer SonyEricsson but SonyEricsson has passed away and now we've got Sony's which phones are like waterproof Samsung with different UI but same shitty experience I had: I can't get rid of the feeling that UI is not quite responsive, at least not as responsive as pure android is, so I would go for Nexus, BUT...
the last Nexus phone is fkin 6" big and the previous (also quite huge) is discontinued... having that said, thanks to this ridiculous trend of making huge phones I had no other option but to get myself an iPhone 5s which still feels in the hand like a mobile phone, not some tablet crap which you can't even shove into a pocket nor touch the upper part of screen without rearranging the grip of the device.
To sum up: Apple is the only manufacturer of mobile phones which are not more than 4" with contemporary hard- and software. Everything else is either horrible (like Galaxy Young) or fine but huge (like any other Galaxy or Sony or HTC, you name it) or huge and horrible at the same time.
