Upgrading phone - Galaxy S3 for a buck or S4?

The gorilla glass is horseshit, just a marketing term.

The iphone is too small and dainty for me.

I really want the Note 3 but I am not willing to pay that price when it comes out. I use my phone for business but I also do a lot of couch surfing on it, so the larger the screen size for me the better, within reason. The Notes are borderline too big for comfortable use, almost like those 1980s brick phones.

The S3 will be good and then when it comes time to upgrade again in 2 years I am sure there will be an S6 by that point, which features food replication. "Tea, Earl Grey, hot."

I don't know anything about these guys, but they will replace the glass on the S4 for $114 if you like their Facebook page. Same day turn around (receive, replace and ship). They do all phones, tablets and laptops.

Thanks for the link but they don't seem to do digitizers or am I not seeing something. My wife's screen is totally okay, but it glows green with beautiful constellations glittering in it.

Its the LCD's that are cracking. $200+ for the front sandwich.

Thanks Rob. The device is actually working, only the glas is cracked. It's a company phone so I don't really care. Will get a price quote from a local gadget fixer.

What's the best cheap upgrade if you're looking for a good camera phone? I was about to go with the S3 for a $buck.

I was just at Sam's Club again today. I honestly am sold on the S3. For a buck you really can't lose. It was last year's latest and greatest flagship device, and the camera is darned good.

iPhone 5S, because you don't need an Otterbox for when you drop it on your carpet. My friend just got himself an S3, dropped it in his Otterbox on the floor and the screen cracked. I've dropped my iPhone 5 countless times and all I have to show for it is a tiny bump and some scratches. Never had an iPhone with broken glass.

Lesson to be learned from this: Samsung phones have crap durability.
