S4 worth it or not?

So S4 does have many features and is very much similar to the S3
So i just made a review on it's features, you should watch it before buying it:

Well the new features that the S4 is bringing will be coming in a software update to the S3, so if you already have the S3 it isn't really worth the upgrade.

It's the best phone you will be able to get... in the world. What do you mean is it worth it lol. But yeah if you have the s3, you might not need to upgrade. As I also have the Note 2, im waiting till the Note 4 comes out.

did he really just point out that the GS4 is just a stretched GS3... -_-
As a GSN2 user, the GS4 is a joke, I'll just wait for these random software upgrades comes to me.

Features one actually uses are the only features worth upgrading phones for. My wife still uses and loves the SGS 2. She has not want for the S3 or Note.
I don't need a 13MP camera. 5 is more than enough. 8 cores? I don't use what I have to it's maximum, except I belive battery life However, I have never used my extra battery on the Note 2 so battery life is plenty as I charge every night whether or not the phone is at 30% or 70%. Gimmicky features don't appeal to me.
Plastic does. Plastic = lighter and with larger and larger screens that is meaningful for me. I would love to see a Note 3 with a 6" screen and not use the Nexus.
The S3 for Note users is likely not worth the upgrade. For S3 users it very well may be. There are some nice additions as well but the N 3 will have them and more gimmicks in a few months.

If iPhone (i call it f*Phone) is being famous just adding 1or 2 new features every time ..and it considered worth upgrade..then why not Galaxy??? While it has every hardware and software is upgraded....
And why you people only comparing it with galaxy s3...whileits independently most advanced device till date with every possible featured

In my case I have been using samsung since captivate and I have no intention of switching brands or even comparing brands. As long as rooting is easy, SD Cards can be used, and batteries are replaceable Samsung gets my money.

bye S4 - hello Note 3

I just got the Note 3 yesterday.
Let me make it clear by saying that I enjoyed every minute of owning the S4.
But I did start a thread saying I'll probably move to the N3 when it's released.
I actually moved from the Note1 to the S4.
I'm moved from the Note 1 to the S4 primarily because of the high-resolution screen and the LTE 4G.
But I was never really comfortable because the screen on the S4 was small something that I felt suffocated , claustrophobic.
My main concern or lets day apprehension was the possible difference in PPI.
I noticed.the ppi difference between the Note2 and Note3 immediately.
Yes it's there with the s4 vs n3 but not as much.
It's mostly there with apps that haven't adapted to the large format I think.
Other than disgustingly terrible battery life, I had no issues with the s4.
I liked the s4 ,was a great interim phone but my heart lies with the large sizes creens.

After using my S4 as primarily a media device I too am tempted by a bigger screen. Having good unlimited data has really brought this phone alive. The N3 is definitely something to consider.

Hope you enjoy your new device. For me personally, the S4 is as big as I'd ever want a daily carry smartphone to be. I'm a big guy, but anything larger than the S4 is just firmly into the Phablet category for me. And the battery life on my S4 has been outstanding with Juice Defender installed.

the s4 is indeed perfect for the majority.

Shame its got the same crappy camera as the S4 (no image stabilisation)
Otherwise it's an awesome phone I must admit!

Does it has a guest mode ?????

I also came from the Note1 to the S4 and also very keen to get Note3 for the bigger screen, but yes, the camera isn't great for a 13mp. Also, just wish my fingers were longer to hold the N3 like the S4. Also i see they have dropped the FM radio in all the phones now... damn, i used to use it a lot. Note1 had FM, S4 and N3 not. Or maybe wait for S5, maybe screen slightly bigger bridging the gap a bit more to the Note 3... dunno... ramblings of a musthavenewphoneaholic

The worst part about note 3 Is being region lock SIM. I hate what Samsung is trying to impose on us.

That has nothing to do with the phone. Thats a management/administrative issue with Samsung as a corp.

Maybe the reduction from 5.5 to 5.0 didn't affect you.
It did for me when I went from 5.3 to 5.0 (N1 to S4).

I immediately saw a difference. Plus the S4 screen has a yellow tint, or the N3 has a white'ish tint.
I assumed the S4 was yellower and less bright because itd been used for a few months.

What do you mean? I'm running GO Launcher not TouchWiz.
Sure , I haven't removed touch wiz and its probably eating ram & CPU processing but what can I do ?

The delete icon is back on top in the gallery.
For some reason in the previous version they replaced the delete icon with the last used shared icon.
So to delete a picture you'd have to enter menu then find the delete button then press it, then confirm.
Now its an icon on top next to share and last used.
What a relief.
Why would they bury it in the menu settings anyways?

It looks like the Note 3 is better under sunlight.
What I hate with Note 3 is the high price and the fact that you need 2 hands for everything on it,apart the big screen it has nothing better

Note III isn't that "BIG" change from S4 i don't own the device but i didn't get "i must get it" since 4.3 update gets most of the "features i've seen" on the note III the new browser etc,
and if you wan't more note III features well, we can use the apps from the leak
also stock browser have been better, new thing is bad, loading pages isn't going as it once used to

I had a play around with a Note 3 a couple of days ago and I came to the same conclusion that I did with the Note 2 before it. Namely that it's too big to be practical as a mobile phone and too small to be a tablet. And that's coming from someone with big hands.
It looks lovely but it's not for me, the S4 at 5" is the perfect size for a mobile phone. And the screen looks smoother due to the increased DPI.
One thing that does interest me is the bootloader. Does it come with Knox by default?

Note 3 to a S5 who plans on changing?

Well with the Galaxy S5 only a few months away now, as i don't believe it launch in January more like late March early April, who plans on changing from the Note 3 to the S5?
Rumors so far for the S5 are
5.25" QHD 2K screen with over 500ppi
3GB of Ram
Snapdragon 805 chipset
32GB as standard
16mp camera with OIS maybe
4K video without any limits
Premium body instead of plastic
If these specs turn out to be true, would you be tempted or will you hang on for the Note 4 in September?

For me to switch the S5 has to be different in a lot of ways. Preferably better looking, and now after having a 5.7inch screen... going back to something smaller won't cut it for me right now.
I went from S3 > HTC One and avoided the S4 because it wasn't much different to the S3 looks wise

No way..never going bk to a smaller screen

Its would take a lot to get me to switch to another phone now. Not a lot of flagships offer a dual sim version.

After many years I playing around some Android & iPhone
I would be stick with Note Family ( Note 2 / Note 3 / Note 4 ).
S Family ( S2 / S3 / S4) did not suit me enough.

I could not go back to a smaller screen. Nor will I give up my Spen.
- The metal casing rumour has already been killed by Sammobile&DigiTimes: Nobody is producing them. And it would make no marketing sense to heed the wishes of a few over the purchases of millions. Wishful thinking, the Note 3 was also 'certain' to have a metal case. Mine doesn't, does yours?
- It's just going to be an 2.5Ghz S800, not an S805.
- No curved display either.
Other than the screen, battery and spen, the specs are identical to the Note 3. As much as I would like 2K on my phone, imagine the battery drain on the by default much smaller battery, and lag. The Galaxy S lineup has always lagged. Adding 2K will only make matters worse...

Now i have mini 2 for almost one year and really i like it it have NFC but i wish Samsung release ics or jb for it so i can use NFC for beam beam and now i'm on cm10.1 kitkat soon but i'll gonna buy Nexus 6 i think when it released really i love nexus family

I agree that increasing the resolution and ppi could cause lags. IMO it is not productive at all. We already cannot see pixels, and my Note 3 screen shows exactly same area, if I open an excel sheet, or a map, or a book, as my i9305 S3 with 1280x720 screen.
I do not agree that Galaxy S lineup laggs. That's maybe true, but the reason is Touchwiz. Your own fault if you stick to it. I am running CM on my S3, and it flies. With CM 11 I don't think there is any difference compared to iPhone. Well maybe just sometimes .

I noticed this when upgrading from sgs3 to sgs4 last month.

I've noticed it as well. I miss the days of the S2 and siyah kernel. KT is the closest kernel were going to get to that kind of features. With the S5 due out soon a lot if devs are going to move on. This will be my last samsung. I'm tired of Sammy's ugly and bloated FWs

Hmm.. the biggest advantage, from my point of view, of nexus devices are, they'll rather have support for upcoming OSs such as Ubuntu, Mozilla etc. because of AOSP(drivers etc.). Samsung/HTC/Sony on the other side have always their customized Android OS, which is also a good thing because they have to be absolutely stable.

My SHV-E330S(same as I9506) has not less mods than my old S2. I would say, it has much more mods than S2.
The only difference - you wait when someone will do this for you, while i do it by myself.
Actually, i don't see what is interesting in using already made custom ROM which has be made in someone's specific taste.
Today, there are much more devices than before. Thus, concentration of developers for particular device is less and less. If you want to get something interesting for particular device, you have to become one of such developers.
Otherwise, just get Nexus - it already has naked Android which most people here is looking for.

The only thing i miss for my I9506 is the kernel developement.But if you think better why would you OC the Krait 400?Isn`t the fastest CPU avalaible on the market?A kernel with udervoltage feature enabled would be perfect.For the rest...if you have root you can make it all by yourself.There are a lot of tutorials on the market explaining how you can port a custom ROM and a lot of mods and themes ar compatible for this phone from I9505 thread and Note 3.For short...i`m very satisfied with my I9506.Way faster and less battery draining than I9505.I have them both!

If no-one is porting a rom from either the Xperia Z1, or from the Note 3 wich at least have the same CPU, i will probably look into how to do this myself.. I bought the i9506 yesterday and thought there would be a custom rom allready, but no.. My old Optimus 4X HD is still in use, cause i really hate the Samsung menu system!

I am from India. My friend is getting me a I9506 from US for 490 dollars. is it a good deal? Will I get OTA updates on it?

Think no.. New samsung devices have a region lock by default..
If its a new device and is unlocked maybe, but u need to activate in your region for first use..
Dont know if device only run in US if ur friend activate the phone there..
If not, you'll need to unlock it and pray..
Other thing will be flash ur own firmwares but this will flag a 1 on knox void warranty efuse and cant receive OTAs..

Yes, I agree on this also.

and they say it will let Samsung.
So, do you think people (especially developers) will leave s4 to get htc m8 and lg g3 and others?.
is it the end of Sammy?
Thanks in advance.

I use long time Galaxy phones 2/3/4 and nexus phones 1/2/3/4/5 but I stop now with Samsung devices , the S5 is a joke. We are for sure support S5 in the future but I am will not work on it. Nexus is and will be the best

I'd love to get the S5 for it's camera
too bad , there are no snapdragon in my area
and knox will be another reason not to buy

a have use s1-s2-note1-s3-s4 and now am done with samsung the s5 is not a a premium for my personal view s5 is suck for now i will skip the s5 but a will not bay a another phone(sony-because the support for all sony ar so bad, lg a dont know a have use lg l7,lg nexus optimus g pro etc a can say the ar a toy for me, htc - ist good phone but battery its suck, apple no comment ist for id..ot).

I believe there will be two versions of this phone. The one announced, and then a metal one further down the road with a new snapdragon processor...

i agree. guys the s5 is joke it is sucks. but i think the people will stay developing on s series and other Galaxys that so good news thanks for all developers on Samsung devices, for that i will skip htc one and just get the s4.

we believe that will be more version but only with other processor (exynos or snapdragon ect.)
but the device will stay the same. and that sad for Samsung lovers coz we expected more from Sammy.
but no problem as there are always s4 note 3 and others.

No S5 for me. I don't like the size of the S4 but I have to live with it it's a great phone otherwise. S5 looks even bigger than S4 so no way. May as well just have a tablet with phone facilities.

I really thought they would get rid of plastic on this one... im keeping my s4... and in the even there is nothing else good on the market by the time my GS4 dies, I would go for nexus... cheaper, better, no bloat GOOD

No S5 for me. I don't like the size of the S4 but I have to live with it it's a great phone otherwise. S5 looks even bigger than S4 so no way. May as well just have a tablet with phone facilities.

Let's see what the Nexus 6 brings us.. as know will be taking over your phone and Samsung will be trying to eliminate every way to mod your device a little, I'm out
Me Gusta!

Here is another reason. 661 Euro. Ready to spend this amount of money?

S4 was basically the S3 with a few tweaks and upgrades.

Actually, I dont care about the S5.
After I had 2 LG-devices, I thought I go the mainstream and follow Samsung.
I actually can not complain about my S4. It is working.
But the implemented Samsung features like airview, airfart and air-whatever are poorly implemented and useless for me.
I am disappointed by Samsung doesn't care of the Exynos-version (which I have) and I understand that the devs dont care either Samsung continues their developer hostile strategy.
Not sure what comes next.
Due to lack of financial resources, I will stick with my phone... but as soon as I have more money left over again, I might switch to Sony or Huawei or Oppo (I guess).

After the show off S5 at MWC 2014, It's the same. I don know since Galaxy S4, all Galaxy series is almost same.

Why I need to go to S5?
Just only for fingerprint scanner or heart beat scanner?
Just icon changed and extra hardware with boring and 18th century look :3
M happy with my s4 + I will think to other manufacturer if I got bored from s4.
