Which Cell Phone do you own?

Not at all it's a valid way to break it down, semantically you could look at it either way. But my feeling is that for the most part they are trying to align to natural evolutionary cycles in tech, like Moore's Law. I'm just saying that I don't believe they are putting R&D into "how can we make this break after exactly two years?"

Just ditched my 25 month old galaxy s2 for the new nexus 5 yesterday.
While the s2 was still performing fine for the most part it was starting to slow down and the charging port was getting pretty janky. I like the s2 size better but the n5 sure is fast and sleek. Better response on the touchscreen too.

From a quick look they are basically the same phone with the nexus 5 having a better battery life and the z1 having a better camera otherwise everything else looks comparable.
I have been waiting for the nexus because it generally receives timelier software updates and it runs a stock android system with no extra bloatware other manufactures put on their phones.
-
I'd go for the Nexus 5. Better battery life and stock android beats just about any other feature. I'm considering rooting my phone just to get rid of the clutter Samsung and Verizon have forced on me.

Three. It's only reasonable given how technology curves work to either try to head off the curve and maximize the length of time a device with be useful, or just always get the cheapest possible functional device that doesn't drive you crazy to use.
-
I say get the external charger. Make that thing last as long as possible.

Keep it rocking Seul, my iPhone 4s is now over 2 years ole and out of contract but I will not trade it in despite being offered an amazing deal on a 5S by my provider. No retreat, no surrender.

samsung galaxy s3 i think because its free with my contract im not really a phone or tschno person but its nice to have a screen i can see.
i do like the vintage 8mm cine app though -
The screens on phones that are a couple generations old now have nothing on current gen phones. Blah blah blah tech is always advancing blah blah, but seriously the new gens screens are leaps and bounds easier to see, especially in full sun than previous gens. I was using my nexus 5 and my buddy's s3 side by side and the difference was night and day. But then again I've been playing Ingress hardcore outside lately and it makes a difference trying to see them screens in the sun.

To round off the discussion I prompted in Random Questions last week,I ended up switching my iPhone 4S for a 5S. I've had iPhones since the beginning and never been disappointed so far so it was the logical choice, plus I just find all the Android stuff so painfully bland and (with the exception of the HTC M8 and the new Sony) so cheap looking.
