Phone upgrade.

[MrJanemba]

Hello guys. Finally upgrading my Samsung galaxy S3 but i don't know what to choose because i haven't been paying much attention to smartphones in a while so would be great if you guys could help me out. I would like the phone to have a good camera and powerful specs.

Well if you like the Galaxy S3, I think you'll like the Galaxy S5.

You're going to have to be more specific. Are your photos predominately indoor or outdoor? What do you use the photos for? What do you actually need a fast processor for?

If you are just looking for a status symbol, get a Galaxy S5 or iPhone 5s and be done with it. If you're looking for a "bang for your buck" phone, get a Nexus 5 or Moto X.

If high quality photos are your thing, the Sony Xperia Z2 got some pretty high marks. It's been discussed in this thread:

I liked the S3 but i think it's a bit out dated.

A bit of indoor but mostly outdoor and the photos will be used for personal use and showing family ect. Also i don't need a fast processor, it's more of a want.
I Was looking at the Google Nexus 5 but i liked the LG G2 more. I think the LG G3 is coming out at the end of the year. A shame i can't wait till then =(

Screen size i would prefer 5 inch+ and do you know when the LG G3 is coming out?

If history is an indicator, the LG G3 will show up in late summer or early fall. If you don't want to wait that long, you'll probably want to look at the GS5. I love the HTC One M8 from my early experience, but the camera only really shines in certain circumstances.

Yeah i think i will wait till end of May and continue to keep my eye out for any news of the LG G3 and if i hear nothing i will just get the samsung galaxy S5. Also thanks to everyone in the thread for help.
