Honestly the Samsung phones are legit, Shady, consider a note 3 as well. My fiancee is getting one when they come out. I’ve owned all the major phone brands at one point or another. The whole removable battery thing doesn’t bother me. My phone right now is a Samsung Nexus (The google phone of yesteryear) its a great phone… Feels a bit cheap but its solid. I do somewhat miss the “luxury” feel of an iphone so to speak which is why the HTC really appealed to me. However really thinking about it I know that phone will get destroyed. The droid phones I had with aluminum frames looked like shit when i was done with them. The notes are too big. I know a few people with them who said after some time it feels normal, but I just don’t want a phone that big. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/the-android-thread/267386)._
