The 200$ nexus 4 was only 8gb which is unacceptably small in my opinion. 16gb would be 250$ if it even exists.
I get along just fine with my 8gb. The only thing that holds me back is loading music onto my phone. 90% of the time I stream it, and for the other 10% all of my music is loaded onto my tablet. Outside of that, I don't have any problems with storage. I don't use my phone for any video what-so-ever but that is the only other thing I could see storage becoming an issue with.
When I had an S4(before I broke it), it was the best battery life I had ever seen in a phone up to that point. Are you running the screen at 100% brightness all the time or something? I usually have my screen around 1/3 on the brightness slider, unless I'm outside in direct sunlight. My S4 always easily lasted me all day, and then I'd just charge it overnight. Never once in the ~5 months that I had it did I have to charge it mid-day.
Just went back to Swiftkey after bashing my head against a wall for the last 6+ months with swype. I'm the guy that started the thread on their official forums about the god awful lag, 6 months later and plenty of posts from other users with the same problems and it's still not fixed. Keyboard takes 5-10 seconds to load, sometimes it doesn't load and there's just a white space there which lets me swype 5-6 words before it finally appears...just absolutely awful
The wife picked up a 5S to replace her 3G about a week ago or so and doesn't appear to have any battery issues. She doesn't charge it at night because she falls asleep using it in bed. Plus she only had the one lightning charger since the store wanted $30+ per adapter.
yeah, those don't have the apple logo on them. will most likely burn your house down
