Looks wise, the 5s. Although the slate 5 had the worst problem with scuffing, the 5s isn't immune. I've a soft case covering the full body and have only removed them it the screen protector needed replacing. Yet still I have a few scuffs etc. I miss the sturdiness of my 4, I switched hard cases all the time and only ever got one chip in the aluminium.
4/4s was best compromise between looks and solid design; the original or the 3G/3GS were probably a bit more solid as they didn't have the glass back.

I have to hold my nose to deal with Android. Well, perhaps it's not simply Android but rather what my IT "experts" do to company phones. I like the GS4 worlds better than I liked the Motorola Razr M. The Razr M is possibly the worst phone ever made. It has terrible screen visibility, slow CPU, lagging laggy lagethy lag, and with the Kitkat update it's battery life is intolerable. Did I mention it has a non-removable battery?
As for touch-wiz, I'm underwhelmed with the software on my LG and Samsung TVs but I have to admit the interface on the GS4 is not bad. I played with an HTC One M8 in the store the other day to try to get an idea what Kitkat would be like without touchwiz and there wasn't enough of a difference for me to really care about. Bottom line, Touch-wiz isn't good enough to make me like Android and it isn't bad enough to make me dislike Android more than I already do.
Oh I should mention I replaced the stock launcher with the Google Now launcher. I like it better.
The 4/4S looks the best.
The 3GS was too plasticcy, and the dimensions of the 5/5S look goofy, it's too tall and narrow.

I didn't buy it. I was handed it by my IT department. They also offer iPhones but we aren't "allowed" to have them yet so I got the GS4. I had no choice to wait until they "wake up" and let us have iPhones because my Razr M was literally catching fire in my shirt pocket every day.
But hypothetically speaking, if I needed an Android phone, the GS4 is a great phone. The screen is beautiful. The battery life (with battery saver ON) is great. I can read web pages and email in portrait orientation. I can see at odd angles and in direct sunlight. The only things I don't like are the "cheapness" of the "plasticky" case and the quirks that bother me in Android (and possibly Touchwiz). I have a spigen case on the phone that makes it look like an oversized iPhone. One minor thing I don't like about the case is it's too easy to wake the phone up simply picking it up or taking it out of my pocket.
In fact, I'd say the GS4 (or GS5) with a Spigen Neo Hybrid case strongly resemble the latest iPhone 6 rumors.
As far as coolest looking one, the slate iPhone 5 was the coolest (and was still used on Vampire Diaries this past season). The most gorgeous as far as industrial design and hand feel was the original 2G.
But basically if we're just talking designs and not colors, there's really only basically 3 designs so far, the original, the 3 series, and and 4/5 series, with minor differences between yearly models. I have a feeling the 6 will be what I would consider a new design.

What's more powerful than I think? It's not the battery.
The battery isn't more powerful than I think.

Ooooo! The black 4/4s! THAT was a classy lookin iPhone! thats one of my favorites
I loved the original iPhone. Had it been built with today's technology and thinness of the 5S, it would be the best designed for sure.
I'll say the 5s over the 5 only because of the home button. I have the 5s in "space gray", but give me the 5s in slate with this home button and it would be great.
The 5c is at the top with the 4/4S. I like the original and I might get blasted, but the 3G/3GS ARE by far my LEAST favorite ... Idk why

Please quit rubbing it in that I got stuck with this "Space gray," but you have an ALL black iphone. LOL.... I like my 5s, but want it slate for sure ...
Haha I agree! I wish they still made an ALL black iPhone like the slate iP5!! I opted for the silver 5s, but if they had slate, I would've jumped on it pretty fast! Lol!
For me the best design was the iPhone 5.
It was the first iPhone that tempted me to invest.
Man, the iPhone 5 design is awesome! Although the 5s is my favorite, the iP5 had the classic feel of an iPhone, like having the classic home button
Yes without a doubt I might have gotten 2 slate iPhone 5s just for the hell of it.
Slate iphone 5 might be the nicest phone ever made ... Especially straight out of the box.
I wish they made a slate 5s SOOOO bad! Lol! If only they could do something about it being easily scratched, it'd be perfect!! It looked especially nice with the all black box! Very stealthy!
