    Like it says which one should I use for calls texting pics etc? Why or why not? Also thinking of keeping my iPhone and just using the Samsung for YouTube videos or reading and such since it's a much larger screen. I'm so deeply integrated into the iPhone. Contacts mail notes pictures apps and everything do to with iCloud I really don't wanna switch but the bigger screen manual placement of apps and other things is enticing lol. Should I switch or keep the Samsung as an extra device in case iPhone breaks and just use it as wifi for fb and YouTube and such? I'm not much a phone person and been using the iPhone since the 4s came out lol

    Of the two I'd go Samsung. I don't like iTunes. Can iPhones play FLACs & Avi's yet?

    Yeah, I'mma go with the rest and say stay with the s5.
    I don't know how much battery time it has compared to the iPhone, but I have an s5 now, and I love it. It's easy to customize and has lots of room for neat apps :3

    I currently have the iPhone but so far from messing with my moms old s5 and the opinions I'm tempted to switch to it now lol. Only thing I'm worried on is the iCloud iPhones have...does the s5 have something similar like keeping all photos and videos and notes and everything together somewhere so when switching phones u have everything secure? How does that work? Like iPhones I'm able to get a new iPhone and sync with the cloud and boom all 500+ pictures are there and all my notes and everything

    Just use Google Photos. I think it's very similar to iCloud except provides unlimited space if you're willing to let it limit the resolution of your photos a little bit.

    Used to love Apple young. Like what you like and be happy. I really like the Galaxy Android devices. Comfortable with me and love the layout and sync between them. Sit one down and pick up the other and everything is the same

    Actually, they're far from being the same. lol Android as a whole is a lot less limited than IOS making it more usable.

    Think I'll stick with my iPhone and go to the 6 for the bigger screen when I can. How much I luv the customization of apps and the wallpaper I luv my iCloud and siri and more simplistic and organized of the iPhone more lol. Easier to use for me. That said anyone know of a case that will protect the ventilation ports like headphone jack speakers charging port on the iPhone like the Samsung?

    I don't know why people keep saying iPhones are terrible. I can do just about anything with mine. I love it.

    I've been using an iphone since the 3GS but I've switched a few times and I always keep going back to an iphone. I admit that it's a boring phone and you cannot exactly do a lot with it. The customisation is limited compared to the ones on android (unless you jailbreak your phone). But because of that, I like it. It's simple and it just works. The one thing I hate about android is the apps. Some of them crash and you get this error message.. "..... has stopped unexpectedly" and then you have to force close.

    ------
    I think it would be better to use the iphone as your text and call phone while you put everything else on the s5.

    It's no secret that Samsung quality is going downhill but there's better awesome Android alternatives. :slight_smile:
