S3/4 or Maxx HD?

I'm do for an upgrade now and I would really like to get a new phone asap. I currently have a Galaxy S and I'm really torn on which phone I should ultimatley get. The maxx HD only draw for me is the awesome battery life which would be awesome and very nice to have. I'm always paranoid of running out of battery and charge my current phone several times a day.

The S3 though is .1 inch more screen with 1gb extra ram over the HD. I think it also may be better at taking photos, but im not sure.

Then of course the S4 which would be awesome, but the big negative would be waiting another 6-8 weeks and paying the premium price to get the phone.

So right now i'm kinda leaning S3 just because of the slight chance it will be more futureproof than the HD and probably cheaper now with 4 coming out.

Pretty much anything right now would be a massive improvement over my current phone.

Have you thought about the Droid DNA? I'm not on Verizon so I don't really know a lot about those Droid exclusive phone's but Review's say the DNA is the best Verizon offering at the moment.

Looking at Bestbuy.com The upgrade price for the DNA is also cheaper than the Razr Maxx at 150$ Vs 199$ Galaxy S3 being 99$

Where i live Verizon is pretty much the only carrier that has good and reliable service. Wouldnt mind going to one of those no contract unlimited everything phones, but i also like to actually use the phone. Even still i guess i could find one on craigslist, but for the most part unless someone has in depth knowledge i dont, it seems like these are the about the best choices for a new phone. Either i can get a deal on some very popular and just slightly out of date phones, or i wait to get the latest and greatest. I really havent heard many great things about DNA and i have no idea how good it's battery, software, and camera are.Kurushio

There is no point in considering the razr maxx for its battery when you can get this for the S3.

And most certainly for S4 samsung will come up with something even bigger although at launch you will have to make do with the stock battery size.

Hold off on any upgrades right now unless you just need it badly. Manufacturers have an annoying habit of releasing the next big thing only to release something else six months later. As far as the S4, sure it has nice specs, but I don't believe Android 4.2.2 can even take advantage of quad core processing let alone the app developers, not yet. And what will battery life be like anyway?

I'd hold off for a bit, just MHO.

Well it's kinda like computer hardware in that respect. They are always going to release something better every several months or the prices will be reduced. From the prices i've seen it looks like the S3 is $100 and the Maxx HD is still $200. I guess for that much I might as well wait for the S4 and probably just get that so I wont have upgrade envy for quite a while. Quite a few of my friends and family already have the S3 and i'm not super keen on getting something that everyone else already has this late.Kurushio

You might also consider buying a S3 off contract as a stop-gap and saving your upgrade, if it's significant in terms of dollars that is.
