I’m looking at the Samsung Galaxy S5 vs. the LG G3 to replace my old iPhone 4s. I can’t decide between the two. Must have changeable battery and expandable memory, which is why I’m not interested in the Galaxy S6.

FYI: I recently had similar smartphone decision cross road.
Bought and tried iPhone 6 from Verizon.
Absolutely hated it’s limited user functionality, poor battery life, slow data speed.
However, it does take very good pictures (software color balance is unparalleled).
Verizon took it back, and I chose the Samsung S5 after comparing all other phones.

It is a Completely Fantastic smartphone!
2.7 times battery life of iphone.
Apps work perfect, Very fast on WiFi & 4G.
Sound quality, hands free call sound boost, video, notes, copy paste email synch reliability:
OUTSTANDING
Photos: very good.
Preloaded bloat ware wasn’t too bad.
Running fsecure and browsing with Firefox privacy security settings.
Love that it’s nearly waterproof, screen is strong, swap out batteries and memory card.
IMHO, you will Love the Samsung S5
Get it while Samsung still makes it.

Well, I'm going to jump in here and add my 2 cents.....

First off, I was probably one of the last people on earth to finally ditch my land line and get a state of the art Motorola Razr flip phone (well not really but you know what I mean)........that's what I'm using.

I've been wanting to get a smart phone or I Phone for months now, not for need but to at least stay up with technology or else end up like that person who still has their rotary dial telephone.

Every person I talk to has their smart phone and they each tell me why it's great. I've checked with several cell phone providers who offer "specials", including my ATT phone provider that is offering me an update for free but after analyzing all the providers, there isn't anything free since their rates hide the fact that they're charging you for the cost of the new phone......

So, I'm in a quandry here, not only do I not know what kind of a new phone to buy, I have no idea how to decipher all the alleged deals these providers are offering that would maximize my purchase cost as well as my monthly usage bill.

FWIW, I'm only paying about $47 per month for my ATT phone bill on my flip phone.

I'd appreciate any help you guys can give me.........thank you
