G+_Kent Smith Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Well Jason Howell I now personally know your sorrow at breaking your phone. On Friday I was getting out of my truck and grabbed my keys and phone and turned around to help my daughter out and some how dropped my Moto X (2013). It landed face down onto a rock in a gravel driveway and shattered the screen. Needless to say I was (and still am) very bummed. So now I'm looking for recommendations on a new phone on Verizon. I was hoping the new Moto X would come out in time for my upgrade and that they would finally do a decent camera. But now can't wait. Currently looking at LG G4 and Samsung S6. Been burned by Samsung before and I'm not a fan of having a phone that looks like an Apple device, but it does seem pretty decent. Anyone in the AAA audience have recommendations? I'm tied to Verizon through work so can't do anything other than what they offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Jason Howell (raygun01) Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 I feel your pain! But it does get better. You get a new phone out of it. :) G4 and S6 are both solid. I can only recommend the S6 personally as its the only phone that I've actually spent time with and reviewed. But plenty of people I trust say the G4 is solid too. Either way, you'll get a cutting edge device with the best cameras available on (pretty much) any phone today, not just android. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Jeff Brand Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 I joined the broken screen club today. I was listening to TWiG while sawing some wood. The table sway slid the phone off the edge perfectly flat onto a gravel parking lot. I'm at month 18 on my AT&T contract, so I guess it's time for an upgrade..

G+_Robert Marshall Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 If audio is your primary interest I recommend the HTC One. Their sound, with the front facing speakers is night and day above the others. Where it disappoints is the camera. They released a software Patch to make things better. But, it just slays me that they have camera issues, phone after phone, when they're released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Kent Smith Posted June 15, 2015 Author Share Posted June 15, 2015 Thanks Robert Marshall . I do listen to music a fair bit through my phone but would not consider myself an audiophile or anything near that. I've been OK with the audio quality from any Android phone I've had with it plugged in. That being said I do LOVE the front facing speakers on my Nexus 10. I would like to see that in a phone as well, but it's not important enough for me to give up camera performance. I take way more photos than I listen to media unplugged on my phone. If I'm going to do that I switch over to a tablet device of some sort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Jason Howell (raygun01) Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Not to take away from the HTC One, but if the front facing speakers is the draw, I'd almost say go for the Nexus 6 instead. The front speakers are awesome, the cameras are probably a wash compared to the One, and its a nexus. And its on sale right now so you get a great deal. Just get a case too. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_L I Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 The camera quality of both the G4 and S6 looked amazing from the snaps that Myriam Joire showed on AAA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
