7 Phones You Shouldn’t Buy Right Now (2014)
iPhone 4 | ||||||||

Apple's iPhone 4, Apple's flagship from 2010, is extremely outdated. And unlike the iPhone 4s, it did not get upgraded to iOS 8. It's stuck on iOS 7. We can't recommend this device to anyone. It's slow, its camera is awful compared to the current crop of mobile cameras, and it doesn't come with 4G LTE. Oh, and it probably won't get updated ever again. Yes, it's cheap, but so are the iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c. And so is the iPhone 5, the device that replaced the iPhone 4s and delivered LTE and a larger screen to iPhone users for the first time. Avoid this phone and get the iPhone 5, iPhone 5c, iPhone 5s, or the iPhone 6 instead. You can thank us later. | ||||||||

So we should not buy three generation old phones. OK then, you talked me into it.

I couldn’t agree more. I bought the Samsung Galaxy S3 in December 2013. It is so slow! I can’t wait until my contact is up so I can replace it.
It’s completely frustrating that the manufacturers purposely leave updates to existing phones in the dust to encourage purchases of their newest generation of phones.
If a manufacturer ever begins to be as good about supporting existing phones as their newest phones, they will have my loyalty for life.

Just don’t buy Samsung. Their Touchwiz UI is so shitty. But phones like the Note 4 can run it smoothly but apparently the S5 is a no go. If your looking for a new phone get the HTC One M8 or M9 best phone I have ever had, and I have had the Oneplus One, Note 3, Blackberry Z10, Nexus 5 and iPhone 5S.
