I want to upgrade my iPhone 3GS and I need your help deciding which phone to buy.
I want to use the phone to play, use apps, take pictures, listen to music and read. Therefore I think what I need is a smartphone with a pretty big screen, a decent capacity, long battery usage time, good camera and a lot of apps offered to it.
I thought about buying the Galaxy Note 3 since it's really big and has good properties, but if you think there's a better proposal it will be nice.

P.S
Being able to jailbreak the phone is a plus

instead of z1, i will suggest xperia z2
z2 got snapdragon MSM8974AB 801 chipset and record at 2160p

though overall, i will also recommend to take a look a samsung galaxy s5 as it got better chipset that is snapdragon MSM8974AC ( higher cpu and gpu speed) and it got some other goodies too
so it will have little bit better performance than z2

here you can compare chipset's theoritical performance

and here is a look of what you can expect from galaxy s5

What about the Sony Xperia Z1? I started researching a bit and found out that it's screen is pretty big, it has great camera and great cpu. Why didn't you mention it?
