Hey guys I am thinking about upgrading to a smartphone this season and wanted some feedback on what you think is the best phone and why.(No iPhones please, I'm not a teenage white girl)

@Capricious yeah I could care less about the colors like that. All I need is something that doesn't crash and freeze and lag.

@fradddd: Sorry for the late reply! I don't check Basilmarket often anymore.

I got the phone back in September/October, so I haven't noticed any major lag or slow responses yet (if it's a result of long-term use). It's a great phone and I definitely recommend it. I think my only complaint about this phone is the colors...? I'm not quite sure how to word it, but they don't seem vibrant? When comparing pictures taken on my G3 to pictures taken on my brother's S4/5, the colors looked less vibrant.

@capricious do you have some lag or slow response on your G3? My G2 can get really laggy at times (like an overheating computer), and it takes an abnormally long time to respond to pressing the Home button. And I have to get a new phone probably tomorrow and it's between the Nexus 6 (if my parents let me) or the LG G3.

If I had to pick a non-Apple smartphone, I would go with the Note 4.

I would suggest getting an android. There are more apps for it and you don't have restrictions like apple products do.

LG master race. I have the G2 so I assume the G3 is just better.
G4 though...might have a screen like [url=http://img1.techtree.com/sites/default/files/LG%20Bezel-Less%20Display.jpg]this.[/url]

@YoonAddict did you get a OnePlus One invite?

For smartphones, I would go with Samsung or LG.
Same with TVs.

I had to decide between the LG G3 and the HTC One M8 (my previous phone was the Galasy S3, so I didn't want to go with Samsung again).

I ended up picking the LG G3 and I don't regret it at all. Great phone.

Lmaoooo the teenage white girl thing is actually pretty damn accurate. Ill use it from now on.. ill probably get one for Cersei. As for me, I use the S5 and I love it. Gives me something to play it while guarding the king.

I use the note 4. It's amazing. I'd choose note 4 or HTC one m8. Originally wanted the m8 but it was sold out.

You sound like my brother. He doesn't know what phone he wants but he doesn't want to be the average white teenage girl who is all worried about taking selfies with their iPhone. If you want Android I'd recommend the HTC One M8 or One Plus One. If you want a Windows Phone I would go with the HTC One M8 for Windows or the Lumia 1520

I seriously love my HTC One M8. Especially the speakers. A no-brainer really, and they are so loud and clear they make my Mahler sound bamf

In b4 unqualified, non-photographers complain about HTC One M8's 4MP camera.

if you're going w/ android, then Nexus is probably a good choice, since you won't have to deal w/ carrier preinstalled garbage, and you won't have to wait to update the OS.

HTC One M8, cause teenage white girls like pretty things, yes?

EDIT: Nvm, re-read your post. M8 is still good choice. Other choices are LG G3, Samsung Galaxy Note 4, Nexus 6 if you can wait a bit for stock, Moto X 2014, Moto G 2014 which is really cheap off contract ($179), Sony Xperia Z3 if you're on T-Mobile.
