| I currently have an Iphone 5 but its battery life is terrible and I am having other random issues with it after only having it for a year. So i am looking at switching phones completely. I had the S4 for a week prior to the Iphone 5 and hated it. What do youguys currently use that you reccommend. I think the LG G3 looks good. Not happy about a phone with android but thats really all thats out there.

Location: South Georgia | It ranks about the same as other smartphones. You can adjust MANY settings and features so that you use less data and less battery life. If left at the factory default settings, the battery would be shortlived. I get a solid day out of my phone. Its usually about 30% when I put it on the charger at night. And I am on my phone A LOT! |

Location: ohio-in my own little world with pretty ponies :) | I've had my iphone 5c for about a year and I'm surprised at how well it's holding up and the battery life! I had the 4 before this and it SUCKED! Decided to try iphone again and this surprised me. I make sure I close everything out that's not being used, I close all my safari pages, I close the apps running in the background. My next upgrade is in September and I'll either get the 5s or possibly the 6 if it's not too expensive or weird as I've heard it's going to be completely different than the others. |

Not really, it will help some, but not much.
Go to the website of your provider, and select all the phones you are interested in, then hit the compare button. Most places have that option. Then line up the battery life but pay attention to standy time and talk time.
I have both. Androids for business and personal, and an iphone for work. I HATE the iphone. with a passion, but our software works better on the apple platform so it's easier to use it for that. I dont' have a data plan on it though. I just connect it to my other phone.
I would highly recommend any horse person look closely at the Galaxy s5 and s5 Active. They are great phones, great battery life, great options, and WATERPROOF!! How many of us have either ridden in the rain, left our phones in the rain, dropped them in puddles, water buckets etc etc??
A few weeks ago I tipped the canoe over in the creek. I had to take the otterbox off my phone to let the case dry out but the phone survived perfectly fine :)
You will get used to a droid. You may never like it as much as the iphone but you will get used to it. |

Location: Phoenix | I love mybiphone 5s, but the battery does suck. I don't have wifi to connect to at work so it is always searching. It probably doesn't help that I keep my 50 apps open at once......my boyfriend closes like 56 the other day.....oops!!!! |
