The LG shouldn't be freezing. Is all your space used up?

Nope not at all

Should have been specific -your internal storage space?

The HTC One is a great device. Then again so is the LG G3. I don't love the software on the s5 myself. And I'm not an iPhone fan but its a decent/good device as well.

If you don't mind large devices I'd get the Nexus 6.

Well it will be Vanilla android so it just run smooth. It's supposed to have a great screen, good camera etc. And it will be running Android Lollipop which has some if the Moto Xs greatest software features.

I think the 32gb starts at $650.

He's buying it on contract.

Sprint is supposedly finally getting a Lumia device. Its not their top end device (more mid range I'd say) but the Lumia devices all tend to run super smooth and are generally fantastic phones if that's something you want to look into.

Meanwhile maybe an app or something is messing with your phone. I have an old HTC One and it never freezes. An LG G3 should NOT be constantly freezing. Try resetting your whole device ?

Might be an app but don't know which on

The G3 is a large phone. I take it that you are comfortable with that size.

I think your answer lies in the following questions:

1. Do you buy the phone, power it on, and keep the homescreen exactly like it was when you took it out of the box, or do you like to customize your homescreen with widgets?

2. Do you ever take off the back cover to change the battery or SD card?

3. Are there any Android-specific apps or features that you make significant use of?

If you answered the latter by #1, no to #2 and no to #3, get the Iphone 6+.

If not, get the Nexus 6.

Samsungs tend to have the highest specs, but their TW UI has still not been perfected and can be buggy and confusing. If you are going to choose Android, stick to the Nexus.

So I guess the Nexus it is.

I should point out that the nex 6 does not have expandable memory (micro sd), but I do believe you can swap the battery. If SD cards are a must for you, then this may be a deal-breaker.

I personally would take the nex 6 over the Note 4 anyway.
