So Im stuck between these two. I want a good video camera (for youtube videos), good gaming performance, and good video experience (movie watching otg), ehich one should I get? Been using android for 2 years now. Should I just stay in android, or go to the iphone camp? Both would be bought second hand (used) and the iphone would be a bit more expensive

Samsung for last? You probably not own a Samsung smartphone before... Why do you think they are the worst?

Mostly wasted potential - I mean specs-wise there are close to none smartphones that can beat Samsung, but the only way to use the potential to its fullest is to slap on a custom ROM.
That being said, Samsung has a bad rep with the community - they use often undocumented functions and don't communicate with modders.
Also - It may be just me, but I have a feeling (from the UI, settings, the approach to different stuff, etc...) like they are used to scratch themselves with their left hand behind their right ear :D
