Dh and I both have Samsung phones and are very happy with it. He has the S3 and
I have the S4. If I have to upgrade I'll get the S5 (instead of the latest S6). The S5
is waterproof and you can put an external sd card which the S6 cannot. We find the
iphones too limited and everything is $$$ with Apple. I'll give you an example. If you
lose your Samsung (assuming you have registered it online), you can disable your
phone wherever it is. With iPhones you have to pay for this service. With Samsung it's
free. Just compare the different features before you make a purchase. The only
disadvantage with smartphones is outside...can't see a darn thing in the sun. We need
little umbrellas for our phones. ;-)
One more thing they do make the large phones. I know Galaxy has what they call
phlabet or mega phones. Mine is a middle size. Good luck.
