iPhone 4 or Samsung Galaxy Exhibit?

[Caitlin Marie Campbell]

I currently have a Samsung Galaxy Exhibit and am possibly going to buy an iPhone 4 (NOT 4s) from a family friend for around 75 bucks. Will it be worth the money or is the phone I currently have better? It might be helpful to add that I do a lot of picture taking (especially concerts), Instagram, and watch videos and stuff like that, so I'm more looking at quality/performance in those areas.

The iPhone 4 by far.

Most Android phones pre-ICS (Ice Cream Sandwich/4.0 update) are rubbish. Nowadays, you have luxurious Android phones like the Galaxy S IV and the HTC One. It looks like your current phone (with all due respect) falls under the pre-ICS category as it's running Gingerbread.

The iPhone 4 will outperform the your current Samsung Galaxy Exhibit, in both performance and picture-taking. The Samsung Galaxy Exhibit carries a 3-megapixel sensor, while the iPhone 4 has a 5-megapixel sensor. While megapixels aren't everything, the iPhone 4's camera sensor is more than suitable for picture-taking, Instagram, etc., than the Galaxy Exhibit.

For $75, you can't really go wrong with an iPhone 4. If you can manage to get a hold of a more recent phone (like the newer Androids or the 4S/5), I'd suggest that.
