I don't care about/believe any of that though and, like I said, I'm leaning toward the iPhone. I really like Apple, but I also like the big beautiful screen on the HTC One.

I don't care about rumors honestly. Apple has had my support ever since the Newton tablet.

^Interestingly, you two have pretty much convinced me to go with my gut feeling and get the iPhone.

Yeah I am biased against Apple but the top phones are all pretty much the same. So if you aren't into technical differences just get whatever you want. The HTC One, Galaxy S and Iphone are very similar.

I would honestly go in that order I listed though hut that is my personal preference because **** Apple.

Apple will never see a dime of my money.

Thanks. I know what you mean and while I like Apple, I'm not devoted to that company at all. I like working across platforms in general but my phone is especially important to me because, well, it's a phone and it's always with me. And if I don't like it I can make a change pretty easily.

In this case I think I need to get past my hangups about being seen as an Apple fanatic and just go with what feels right. I'm not in a rush though and I know someone who gave up their iPhone 4 for an HTC One so I'm going to investigate that option further.

Nexus > Samsung Galaxy series

Samsung are getting as bad as Apple with the extortion.

Engine the iPhone 5s has the exact same spec as the Galaxy S2 which came out over three years earlier.

IMO best bang for buck would be Nexus 5 (out of the flagships, Moto G for budget) and it is most customisable. I haven't upgraded from the 4 cos no need but it's a beast of a phone. Only thing I'd point out is expendable memory and camera is poor. Plus you can't replace the battery. But nothing touches it imo.

EDIT: & HTC One is 5*, would get man. Agree with DJ's pecking order.

^Thanks. After a considerable amount of more research, I'm almost definitely going to get the HTC One. The newest version has a removable memory slot which was something previously holding it back from competitors.

Have you had a look at the Nexus 5? Newer & cheaper (from £299 sim free, HTC One is £369).

Not that the HTC One is bad, just make sure you look at the Nexus. Stock Android. I had the GS2 & since using stock Android I don't think I'll buy anything else. It really is the dog's bollocks. As said it doesn't have removable memory but you can get the 16gb or 32gb model, both are more than enough. I have the 16gb Nexus 4, never got close to using all of it.

Also keep in mind, when Android gets updates you will get them straight away on Nexus devices. You will wait months for them to roll out on other devices.

I haven't but I'll definitely look into the Nexus 5, too.
