What's the best phone already out/upcoming that's as good as/better than iPhone 5?

Slightly off topic but I am currently looking for a new phone.

All I want is somthing that is able to hold and play my music (getting rid of ipod), Has internet and Obviously makes calls and texts. Most importantly though, I'd like one with a long battery life even when playing music.

suggestions?

thats almost every phone you need to gives us more information.
Do you want a big phone? Have you used Android, Windows or are you an Iphone person? Are you gonna have music on phone or cloud? What is your budget

I currently have a samsung but am also capable with apple products. Never used windows on a phone

I don't want it to be oversized and I'd like to go onto a contract if possible.

I do want long battery life though, the longer the better.

wait until end of April, the new HTC One and S4 are coming out then, try them out at a local retailer, both are good

Alright. thanks!

Forget the samsung ones. My mom got an S3 I got a Nexus, we both love them, but they eat their battery up fast. Same goes for my Nexus 10 tablet. I love it to death, but if they're not plugged in each night, they're useless.
Though get a Nexus 10 tab anyway. It rocks my world. Everyone get one!

Apparently there's a new budget iPhone coming out. Also iPhone 5s info.

you got the nexus 4 or the old galaxy nexus?

The old galaxy nexus, the new one isn't made by samsung. The nexus 10 is, though.

the new nexus is made by lg but is looks exactly like GN but with glass back and better processor.... and is only €349 on play store

you shouldn't really get the old nexus, a new one is coming out in fall, and yours will be 2 years old by then and who knows how it will handle the newer versions of Android.

I wasn't advocating the old nexus, 1) the new one is cheaper, 2) the battery life isn't too great on most Samsung products. As I said, I love them, but I have to charge my phone every evening, no chance of it lasting 24 hours unless you use it very little, and always have near-perfect reception.

i switched to Iphone and have to say , im loving it , bye bye blackberry

The ZL is basicly a Z with a new changes

Got the Samsung s4 and it is a great phone.

Btw Google Now just hit Iphone, the sheeps are finally going to see what they were missing

So ive decided to finally ditch my nokia 6300 and buy a Smart phöne. Ive got the choices narrowed dwn to -
SONY XPERIA SL
NOKIA LUMIA 820
HTC ONE S
SONY XPERIA ION
any advice or possible user experience? Im leaning towards the Xperia SL atm.

The thing thats really impressd me about the Xperia SL & ION is that both hav 12 mp cameras and have pixle density > 300
they are also due for an android Jb update in june so..

Finally made the switch to a smartphone today, got the iphone 5. But I originally intended to get the Nokia Lumia 928 which is a windows 8 phone, but for some reason the 3 verizon stores i went to today did not have it in stock (which pissed me off, and I didnt want to order one online and wait for it, although I shouldve made the trip to another one.) Overall, I thought you could never go wrong with the iphone as I got a $100 billed back to my account, so pretty much paid $100 for it on contract. Was never a big android fan but the s4 definately is a beast, I wanted to get the windows 8 phone because its something fresh and different, and it really is a great phone, but I am happy with the iphone 5 nonetheless.

So I'm thinking about buying my girlfriend a phone. I see on ebay that a used 8GB Nexus 4 is going for 400 but Google sells it directly for 299, new. What explains the price difference? Surely no one would pay that big a difference for a used product.

A new 16gb Nexus is $400 on Ebay, 8gb is $350

on Google Store it;s $299+ taxes(around 40 i think) for 8

btw new nexus should be coming out in Nov
