Aviously

Because, aviously…

For the first time just about ever, I will be eligible for an upgrade. This is possible because in the past I have bought phones at full price when an old phone broke, or someone else used my upgrade on a family plan.

Now that I am on my own plan, after migrating off that family plan 10 months ago, I am finally eligible for an upgrade! So while I am very much in love with Motorola Androids, I am open to suggestions, and reasons why other phones may be better for me.

We can start off by saying that I will NOT by buying an iPhone or any iOS product, even though I already own all the apps for it.

Android is my operating system of choice, but any thoughts on Windows Mobile would be appreciated.

As for the phone…here are the options as far as I can tell:

  • Moto X (2nd Gen.) (Android) – I have the 1st Gen. and it is one of the best phones I’ve owned. Battery life is incredible, and the phone runs just as fast as Day 1, regardless how many apps I have on it (or am running at the same time), or upgrades the phone has gone through.
  • Samsung Galaxy S5 (Android) – Based on things that Samsung pushes as “Features” – Dust and Water Resistant, Finger Scanner, Adapt Display
  • LG G3 (Android)
  • HTC One (M8) for Windows
  • Nokia Lumia Icon (Windows) – 4 Microphones, 20MP Camera,

Now while I am interested in owning a Windows phone at some point…and that Lumia looks really good…I did just get an Android smartwatch that I am attached to at the moment, so I am not inclined to switch away from.

I am leaning towards the Moto X, but if someone can make a solid argument for another Android phone, please do!
