To start with, I was never an apple fanboy until I bought my iPad 2 a a few years ago and was hooked. When it came to to replaced phone I went to an iphone5. I've had the 5 for almost 2 years and it's been a great phone with one issue. I've Always felt the screen is too small. My prior phone and HD7 had a a 4.3 inch screen and I've always missed the extra real estate. Especially as my eyesight has diminished some.
I'm not a basher of the big phone they are nice. The Notes have a super bright and clear screen. But at a certain point they just get to big to get in and out of your pocket especially with a case on. I have big hands and though I don't wear skinny jeans by any stretch a phone over 5 inches is probably too be for normal day to day. A friend has a Note 2 but the guy is 6ft 6 and has hands like Andre the giant. He wears cargo pants a lot so the note fits in the big pocket.
I've thought something in the 4.5-4.8 range would be the best so with a case it would still fit into my pocket and be easy to grab.
As far as memory and speed I've had no issues with the 16gb model as even my iPad has only 16. I know the current demand is for more and more space but IMHO it just gets filled with junk and 16 is more than enough for day to day. A movie or 3, a couple of audio books A few regular books and a coue of hundred songs and pictures. With cloud storge for books and documents it works for me My desktop has 4tb if I need to store things.
I am looking forward to a new upgrade. And since my current phone is In great shape u can probably sell it for more than the cost of my upgrade on CL
