HTC 8, Samsung Galazy S5 or Note 4 (T-Mobile, contracts, battery, Android)

I mistakenly posted this in consumer electronics:

I am looking at all 3. All 3 look great. We have to change plans and I will not buy Apple.

Suggestions on which is best??? Opinions??

Thanks

I'll be picking up the note 4 for the removable (giant) battery and the screen, I don't typically use the stylus on my note 2 but it does come in handy when the nieces want to draw on it. Less plastic on the note 4 than the S5. The camera on the M8 is terrible and both have lower specs than the note 4.

Depends on your pocketbook too, though.

I'd go with the M8 of those choices.
The camera on no modern phone released this year is terrible. No way.



Yea, that's terrible.

Hold them all in your hand: you'll choose the M8.

I mean, the graininess in a fully lit day shot is astounding.....I'd hate to see how it fares at night.

I'm planning to replace my Galaxy Blaze on Black Friday. I've been to the T-Mobile stores, and researched the reviews on the phones, and have it narrowed down to 4. They are: MTC M8; Galaxy S5; LG G3; and the ZTE Max.

I was told to check the website at midnight, so I will. I don't plan to (and won't) spend the equivalent of a month's rent on a phone, so I'm waiting to see what goes on sale.

Out of those, HTC One M8.

But I'd recommend the Xperia Z3 or Note 4 over them.

It all depends on the price. Like I said, I'm not willing to spend the equivalent of a month's rent *or more) on a phone. I'm not an executive, and don't have that kind of money to play with. I'm on Social Security, still work, and I'm on a budget, and can only spend up to a certain amount.

I can go UP to $300 if needed, but not over it, and don't even want to go that high. That's why I'm waiting until Black Friday. If nothing goes on sale, I'll get the ZTE Max, which is under $300. I just have to wait and see.

In that case, why not buy an LG G2 from eBay unlocked? That would be much, much better than the ZTE phone and they can be found for less than $300. Probably will be avaioble even cheaper on there during Black Friday.

If you buy on Contract NO ANDROID PHONE is more then $300.
What carrier are you with?

T-Mobile doesn't have contracts anymore. If they did, my phone would be free.
