Hey guys,
I've narrowed my choice down to the LG G2 and Samsung Galaxy S4 (i9505)
I intend on using the phone to take photos, I am not an expert photographer, but I like to take photos when I go out, with friends, on holidays, etc etc, so I want a very solid camera. I also want a decently fast phone, I DO NOT play graphics-intense games, but as long as the phone doesn't lag with basic day-to-day operations, I'll be happy. I also don't want it to be TOO big, as long as it fits in my pocket nicely. I would like the screen to be good, but I'm not too fussed if it isn't the best screen of all time. It would be nice if the screen is relatively large without making the whole phone too big. I'm not a heavy user, so battery isn't too much of an issue for me, as long as battery will last a decent amount of time.
One other thing, I want my phone to last at least a couple of years.
Galaxy s4: I don't mind the saturated screen at all, in fact I kinda like it, I think the camera is good, but some people say it is really bad in low-light conditions (I dont intend on taking photos in dark alley ways, and flash should do the trick shouldn't it?). The major downside was people said that touchwiz is laggy, and the bloatware slows it down too much. What draws me to the GS4 is the nifty camera features, such as Eraser mode, beauty face, slow/fast motion, panorama, etc etc. however, this stuff may be a bit of a gimmick.... do all of these features also come on the LG G2??
LG G2: I like this phone, but the buttons on the back seems wierd. Wouldn't you accidentally switch it off if its lying on your desk, and you press down a little (the button on the back of phone would cause issues?), also with the double-tap-to-turn-on: if it was in your pocket, would it accidentally turn on if it mistook your body for a finger tapping it? Also, is LG reliable? Will it last?
I intend to buy from eBay, is this a safe option? Will the phones work in Australia, even if it comes from overseas (obviously I'll get an unlocked version)?
Feel free to leave your opinions. Thanks so much in advance
