    What do you hate about Droid? I love android and am not an iPhone fan. Tried out an iPhone for one week and quickly went back to android. If you don't like Droid, a Samsung won't help because it is still android. Or do you mean you are ok with android, but not Motorola Droid? I really like my Galaxy S4.

    I mean I hate my phone - it's really buggy and just doesn't work smoothly at all. have to turn off and then turn back on often. it freezes constantly

    my brother had the same phone and had the same problems

    After 4 years of android phones, I was DONE with the bugginess and got an iPhone 5. If the 5s had been out, I would've gotten that one.

    My husband didn't have the same problems with his droids. We always got the same phone at around the same time, and mine became nearly useless at the 1-year mark. I think I was too heavy a user. But he has a 5s now and really likes it.

    I've had iphones and droid phones but I love my current Samsung Galaxy the best. It is not buggy at all and I much prefer the screen size and photo/video capabilities.

    That makes sense. I do really like my Galaxy S4. Has not been buggy (so far). If you like android, I would consider this particular model or even the new Galaxy S5. DH swears by his HTC One, so that may be a good one too.

    I love my iphone 5s, but we're an apple family - multiple macbooks, iMacs, iPads, iPad Minis, iPods, and I think we've owned every version of the iPhone between DH and I (Oh and DD who bought herself a 5C this year). I don't want a bigger screen on my phone (we have iPads for that) and the new camera is so much better than what I had (iPhone 4) and works great for me.

    this is very important to me. the droid camera sucks. delay is awful. quality is not great

    my brother has a samsung now, and he loves it, but i feel like he still has a delay in photos

    my other brother and my sister have iphones and their cameras are almost instantaneous.

    would love feedback on camera specifically

    thx
