I am hesitating between these smartphones.

Iphone 5

Galaxy s3

Nexus 4

I want a reliable phone clear sound and precision for calling.

good pictures and good videos

Is 16 GB enough space ?

Are 32 GB or 64 GB better choice ?

Where do you live? What's your carrier? How much music do you have? What are you on now?

I own an iphone 5 and a gs3 and for your criteria I would choose the gs3. The voice quality on the ip5 on verizons lte is shit, imo, at best. The volume is very low even with a headset. My gs3 on tmobile is tons better. Also, I have 32gb on the ip5 and it is totally used up with no upgrade path. My gs3, while I bought the 16gb model, has a 64gb micro sd card in it for all my stuff that does not have to be installed on the main memory. I have no feelings for the n4 as the only time I played with one was to help a co-worker figure out why she was not getting any lte connection in NYC.

I haven't gotten a chance to play with an N4, did they really put that bad a camera in it?

Have to say one thing about the iPhone5. I don't like it, but the camera is very very nice.

I'm not really a picture taking person. But I think the pictures from my Nexus 4 look fine. I would not call it a bad camera at all. Though I doubt it is of the quality of the iPhone 5 or HTC One X.

Get the S3. The 3-year iPhone contract is obscenity. Ordinarily I'd tell you to wait for the S4, but I think Fido is slower at new device pickup than Rogers and with no real phone right now... Although if you wait a week you may get a date and/or a price drop because the S4 is being announced *Thursday*.

S3 has one of the best current cameras, and is at least as good at shooting video as the i5. Nexus is nowhere close. The S3 also has a microSD card slot that may make offloading videos easier.

Make sure to get the $60/2gb plan.

If you're in montreal check out the Z10. I am very happy with mine. It is similar to the GS III.

Can't go wrong with either of the 3 choices you posted. I would pick whatever one you like best or if you want ios vs android. I think I would wait for the Galaxy S4 instead of getting the S3 though (unless you got it for really cheap off contract).
