I use my phone for talk and text, facebook, whatsapp, email, music, web browser and camera. My iphone 5 64gb is doing all of that just fine. Now I got hold of a brand new galaxy s4 4g model for $600. So now I am in a huge dilemma on what I should keep and get rid of. I am used to with both android and ios since I have owned both and I dont mind either.

I have done my research and this is what I have come up with-

Iphone 5
Pros- Iphone has better build quality(aluminium)
Better camera despite being 8mp. Way better performance in low light than the s4(I have tested myself)
does everything I listed smoothly.

Cons- I like the iphone music player but Itunes music syncing is horrible
Reception drops all the time
Phone freezes at times
Poor battery life

Galaxy s4
Pros- has much better display and resolution
Better features(though I won't use most of them)
Way better battery life
Better file transfer and feels more like a smartphone

Cons-Camera isn't as good and can be a little laggy at times
Apps take 2 seconds to load(lag again)
The phone might might get more laggy over prolonged usage

So if you were in my shoes, what would you do? Both phone can be sold for similar values. So which one should I keep. Iphone is doing everything I need, obviously its not the best but it works. Can you say the same about the gs4? Galaxy S1 was the laggiest phone ever but Galaxy s2 was somewhat better. Of course it lagged as well at times. Thats why I am sceptical about choosing the galasy s4.
What would ya'll advice?

I'm in love with my iPhone 5. Wouldn't change to android (I used that shit for over 3 years, and I hated it).
I have had the galaxy s1(horrible phone)
The the galaxy s2(much better)
Then switched to iphone 5(loved it)
The I made the ultimate decision of switching back to android(galaxy s4)- Loved it- GS4 overwhelms the iphone in terms of features, screen quality and everything, Plus I love the samsung s-view case
I say it was a worthy upgrade.
