I have a shattered screen on my S4 that I've been happy with but I am tired of the screen so I'm gonna bite the bullet and get a new one. I want to end up rooting my phone but I tried on my S4 and it says my superuser is out of date or some shite.

No phones out there really stand out to me more than the others for these reasons.

I want the OnePlus One but if I break it I'm SOL and there aren't really any good cased out for it.

Same with Nexus minus the case.

If I break a phone I got from AT&T they will replace it for $200. with those phones I have to shell out another $100 bucks on top of that.

S5- I'd like to stick with what I know and I think it would be easy to root.

M8- Nice but nothing stands out more than the S5 and I already know that phone

LG G3- Heard great things but how easy is it to root compared to the others and I don't really like the placement of the wake/lock button.

I can get a refurbished S5 for free and use my upgrade or get a new S4 for 200 and not burn my upgrade since I don't know what I want.

TIA.

Samsung's are so cheaply made and TouchWiz is so horrible I can't recommend it to anyone. Also I've heard it's not easy to root it.

It might be the best overall Android device ever produced. Plus, it has the best skinned version of Android there is. #ItJustWorks

trust me, you will love it. The button placement is genius. I rarely use the buttons anyway. Just tap the screen to turn it on and am just a swipe down away from the volume control. I couldn't go back to a phone without the knock-on feature

also the new Moto X is about to come out and people are praising that phone already.

The LG G3 is an amazing phone. Both the G3 and S5 can be rooted with towelroot which only takes a second to run.

I just ditched my Samsung for an M8...so happy with it. Amazing build quality and great performance plus it feels like an expensive phone in your hand and not like a cheap toy. Very responsive android experience; no lag or stuttering at all. Best part: no TouchWiz!
