I have to find good light, but when I do I'm very happy with my results. This only applies to the back camera, though. The face cam is pretty unimpressive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iphone-5-or-samsung-galaxy-s-4#post-1036799 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 14:18:41 +0000 regberadaisy 1036799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@allison: I must have my settings wrong bc I don't think the pics are so great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iphone-5-or-samsung-galaxy-s-4#post-1036616 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 13:31:47 +0000 allison 1036616@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: the S4! We went to a store and looked at both of them and decided we liked the bigger screen better. And we're used to the Android platform, so there wasn't a learning curve. We're really happy with it, so far!</p> <p>ETA: oh, I LOVE the camera. It takes the sharpest photos. Very impressed with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iphone-5-or-samsung-galaxy-s-4#post-1035730 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 08:41:06 +0000 pui 1035730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want the new Samsung Galaxy Note III coming out soon. It looks sweeeeeeet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iphone-5-or-samsung-galaxy-s-4#post-1035726 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 08:40:17 +0000 LazyLightning 1035726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yellowbird: lucky! I have another year on my iphone 5 contract unless I break it first. (guess I could sell it but eh... i'm lazy and it's sort of beat up.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iphone-5-or-samsung-galaxy-s-4#post-1035693 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 08:26:24 +0000 yellowbird 1035693@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got an iphone 5 and hated it! I have had an iphone since 2007! I got the s4 and I love it. So much nicer witha bigger screen and it just looks better to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iphone-5-or-samsung-galaxy-s-4#post-1035685 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 08:23:47 +0000 LazyLightning 1035685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the iPhone 5 but I wish i had the S4. I mean my iPhone dropped on the ground the other day and i found myself praying it was broken so I could get an S4 (no such luck). I had a Droid X before my iPhone and Android was just SO much better, interface wise. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iphone-5-or-samsung-galaxy-s-4#post-1035678 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 08:22:11 +0000 artsyfartsy 1035678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started off with an android and HATED it. I switched to an iPhone after my sister bragged about hers so much and I LOVE it!! I will never have another phone. It's so much simpler to use. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iphone-5-or-samsung-galaxy-s-4#post-1035632 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 08:09:13 +0000 regberadaisy 1035632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@allison: what did you end up getting? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iphone-5-or-samsung-galaxy-s-4#post-815252 Wed, 29 May 2013 11:48:38 +0000 kjpugs 815252@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just heard something on the radio about the S4 battery life having issues? Weird! I have an iPhone 4 and a 5 for my work phone, it's just so intuitive and easy after playing on friends/family's samsungs, I can't imagine switching. Didn't even consider the apps til this post! Plus all my friends have iPhones and we group text. And I like emoticons. HAHA! HOW HORRIBLE! Honestly I don't have many issues with the iPhone though except battery life, but that seems to be a frustration with many/most smart phones. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iphone-5-or-samsung-galaxy-s-4#post-815190 Wed, 29 May 2013 11:25:07 +0000 MediaNaranja 815190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@allison: I have the samsung gallery express, which I think is the mini version. My dad just got the s4, and his is much bigger than mine. As far as I can tell, the functionality is mostly the same! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iphone-5-or-samsung-galaxy-s-4#post-815184 Wed, 29 May 2013 11:20:59 +0000 allison 815184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@zippylef: this is us exactly. All our other major electronics are Apple, but I just can't seem to pull the trigger on the phone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iphone-5-or-samsung-galaxy-s-4#post-815175 Wed, 29 May 2013 11:17:32 +0000 loveisstrange 815175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're looking in to the Galaxy phones when we get back to the states. I have an iTouch, iPad and iMac and I still dont think I'm sold on the iPhones.</p> <p>My brother made the switch from iPhone to Samsung last year and he loves his new phone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iphone-5-or-samsung-galaxy-s-4#post-815174 Wed, 29 May 2013 11:17:29 +0000 littlek 815174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have an apple, but I think the samsung looks really cool. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iphone-5-or-samsung-galaxy-s-4#post-815133 Wed, 29 May 2013 11:00:03 +0000 PrincessBaby 815133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're so sucked in to Apple...I could never give up my iPhone even though I think the Samsung phone commercials are pretty cool. I just like Apple and I like how everything -MacBooks, ipad, phones- all "talk" to each other and sync up on the cloud without me doing anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iphone-5-or-samsung-galaxy-s-4#post-815128 Wed, 29 May 2013 10:59:26 +0000 ninja 815128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started off w/ Android, and got tired of the lagginess (If that's event a word). I switched to the iphone5 in December, and it was a great decision for me. It's faster than any of my android phones, and no lag. If you are already used to apple products, there will be no learning curve. And for me, the new androids were just too obscenely large! I have small hands, and anything bigger than the iphone would have made it really hard for me to handle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iphone-5-or-samsung-galaxy-s-4#post-815080 Wed, 29 May 2013 10:40:11 +0000 allison 815080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Honeybee: I think we are going to go test out in a store. I've seen/played with the iPhone 5, but not the S4. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iphone-5-or-samsung-galaxy-s-4#post-815077 Wed, 29 May 2013 10:39:15 +0000 allison 815077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bookworm: the iPhone is cheaper by $50! Which makes this harder bc I was leaning toward the Samsung until I found that out.</p> <p>@Penny Lane: @lavender: Samsung is supposed to release an S4 "Mini" in a couple months. Apparently they did a S3 Mini in Europe because a lot of women there complained about the size of the regular S3. Wish I could wait to see what that's like, but I don't think my current phone will make it that long. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iphone-5-or-samsung-galaxy-s-4#post-814596 Wed, 29 May 2013 07:18:46 +0000 Honeybee 814596@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband just got the S4 yesterday, and I have to admit that it is pretty cool! He spent all night playing with it, and figuring out all the new features. :) my mom has the Iphone 5, and I actually didn't notice the size difference. Maybe go into the store and test both of them out at the same time, if size is an issue for you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iphone-5-or-samsung-galaxy-s-4#post-814582 Wed, 29 May 2013 07:06:47 +0000 mediagirl 814582@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@allison: I laughed at the poll vs comments thing, too. :) I see iPhones as the "cool" phone to have while Android phones are the better quality phone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iphone-5-or-samsung-galaxy-s-4#post-814581 Wed, 29 May 2013 07:05:52 +0000 mediagirl 814581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Samsung. I love Samsung so much. :) I also like that I can stick a 32GB (or bigger) memory card in it and store as many photos, movies and TV shows I want on it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iphone-5-or-samsung-galaxy-s-4#post-814577 Wed, 29 May 2013 07:00:45 +0000 TheReelDeal 814577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a samsung galaxy-couldn't tell you which one if you paid me to ;) and I like that I can actually personalize my phone with different fonts and widgets. And the pictures it takes are just incredible. And before getting this phone I had 3 iPhones. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iphone-5-or-samsung-galaxy-s-4#post-814569 Wed, 29 May 2013 06:54:05 +0000 avivoca 814569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the iPhone5, and I love it. I definitely don't use all of its features, but I find it easier than the Android platform. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iphone-5-or-samsung-galaxy-s-4#post-814540 Wed, 29 May 2013 06:19:54 +0000 lavender 814540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Penny Lane: Totally agreed about the size. </p> <p>I have an iphone w/ small hands and DH has the G3 and I love everything about his phone but the size! I would get a Samsung but its too big in my hands. I love that it has the swipe function, just wishing the iphone had that feature. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iphone-5-or-samsung-galaxy-s-4#post-814506 Wed, 29 May 2013 02:23:08 +0000 Penny Lane 814506@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've got the iPhone 5 and DH has an S3. I can't STAND using his phone. it's way too big for my hand. I can never figure out how to do things quickly (and I'm pretty tech savvy!). </p> <p>maybe it's me being apple stubborn (full disclosure: I've owned 3 iPods, 1 iPod touch, 1 MacBook, 1 iPad and an iPhone (omg just writing that out I feel ridiculous)) but I just find the iPhone so much easier to use :) I've never had an issue with the "restrictiveness" of iOS. my main decision maker though... the size of the phone for my midget hands ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iphone-5-or-samsung-galaxy-s-4#post-814373 Tue, 28 May 2013 21:33:01 +0000 deerylou 814373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've always been an Apple fan. However, the moment I tried a Samsung Galaxy, I've been hooked. I don't think I'll ever make the switch back to an iPhone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iphone-5-or-samsung-galaxy-s-4#post-814368 Tue, 28 May 2013 21:28:14 +0000 Mrs Hedgehog 814368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the S III right now and I gotta say, it is pretty freaking awesome. I know so many people who have dropped their iPhone after spent some time with my phone. I wont be getting the S IIII yet since I just got this phone in Dec. I will be upgrading at some point. Who knows, Maybe an SV?</p> <p>Seriously though, iPhones are great and all but they are so restrictive in what you can do and, honestly, slightly behind the times now. Also, Android updates its OS on its own every few months. Seriously. I will look at my phone and realized it updated itself to the newest OS and added features or fixed any bugs that might have been there... for free. I don't have to go buy a new phone. Period. I mean, some features are only available on new phones, thats just how phones work, but I swear with every OS update, my phone gets better and better. And I don't pay any extra. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iphone-5-or-samsung-galaxy-s-4#post-814027 Tue, 28 May 2013 17:54:42 +0000 allison 814027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love how the poll has the iphone far ahead, but all the comments are for the Samsung. Ha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iphone-5-or-samsung-galaxy-s-4#post-813814 Tue, 28 May 2013 16:03:26 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 813814@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the Galaxy Note II. The camera quality is awesome and the battery life is amazing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iphone-5-or-samsung-galaxy-s-4#post-813810 Tue, 28 May 2013 16:01:30 +0000 MrsBrewer 813810@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband had to make that same decision last December! He ended up with the iPhone, he's had several iPhones before that though, and he decided that he already had a decent amount of money invested in all the apps, that he didn't want to loose it all! He loooooves the iPhone5 though. It's sooo much faster than the previous ones! </p>
