Obviously then you haven't used a Nexus 4. that thing flies.

I had the iPhone 5 and then upgraded to the gs4. I literally had it for two days. I was having desperation anxiety from my iPhone. Lol But the gs4 was a good phone BUT gave me nothing but problems. I didn't like the quality of the photos on the front facing camera. The iPhone front facing camera photos are amazing and clear. Gs4 had blurriness to its front facing pictures. Then when I would charge it , it would take THREE WHOLE HOURS TO COMPLETE A CHARGE. maybe more. When I would use it, it would get extremely HOT. I was ready to cook a burger on it. That's how hot it got. Lol It's got a lot of great features and it's a really nice phone but too many issues. Oh and the battery life would wear out quickly compared to my iPhone. I had to disable Bluetooth and air view and smart stay. I really wish that it would of worked out for me with the GS4. But a lot of the problems I was experiencing, I experienced with my gs3 too. Maybe I will give the gs4 a shot again and hope that I just had a defective phone. But when u google the problems that I was having, a lot of people were having them too
I'm curious to know what the iPhone 5 lacks, for you personally, that you truly wish the S4 would work for you?
Perhaps I misunderstood my english classes on what a question should look like. I was only trying to explain my point of view on my Galaxy S4. Yes I am very content with my new device and would like to share my expierence on this thread, seeing that is extremely relevant to the OP. I meant in no way to critize any other device as I stated the iPhone is an amazing device as well. Thank you
Actually, the OP did pose a question with regards to the S4 in his second to last statement when he said, " What is the appeal?"
Both of you should look up the definition of the word "rhetorical"...
Sure. If you look up the definition of the word "jerk".
Exactly, people don't realize IPC matters because smartphones are not server/highly threaded environments. An s4 dual vs quad is the same thing and the fact that s4 dual cores get 2k on geekbench matching androids is enough evidence.I do not get that much battery life on my iPhone 5, like you do with my brightness up. In fact, I keep mine around 20% or less.
With the s4... I actually decided to skip, along with the htc one as I do not like Android, one bit.
Android devices have these high specs for a reason... even with those specs, I prefer the other 3 (iOS, BB and WP) over Android.
It's not built for usability, it's built to sell, and it does but it's really about putting technology together and calling it a day. The other 3 actually care about how the thing works instead of what's in it.I don't understand how/why people call S4 latest and greatest. ( I get the latest part and yes I am being serious). It's not just this thread, but in others also, people mention all the features, and then in the end shut them off. So they are left with a thin plastic Android device. They keep them in their pocket ( instead of a holster or pouch) and then get surprised when their screen is cracked. They also only have 9 Gb of storage free.
In reference to the HTC One, which doesn't have a home button, has dual front speakers, Beats audio, 32 or 64Gb of storage (no need to manage SD cards) , and great battery life. Its aluminum construction is less prone to flex.
Is a five inch screen really that much better than a 4.7" ? Is the same CPU, overclocked by 200 MHz that much faster ?
Seriously, what gives ?
Noo, man removable battery is amazing not waiting on a charge or anything, doing w.e you want with the phone for 2 days because you know in literally 70 seconds you'll be back up and running on a full charge. Plus, in case someone else's phone dies you can use your battery to charge theirs.See, that's it. How is the S4 a great device ? People complain of lag, pulling the phone out of their pocket and noticing the screen is cracked, only having 9 gigs of storage free, not liking Touch Wiz, gimmicky features that don't always work, screen that's not all that great outdoors, and on and on...
Removable battery ? Of all the phones I have had, I've never bought an extra battery and its something extra to carry. Removable SD card ? I've got a 32 gig phone, so it's nice not having to manage SD cards. I also have no desire to carry almost a TB of digital media with me at all times. So it doesn't sound all that great to me, so what gives ? Did they sign a deal with the devil or something ?
I was going to get a note 2 but realized I hate android, I would have gotten Iphone but it feels like a closed space you are banging your head against.I guess to each his own ....
I switched to an iPhone 5 in late March at the urging of my children and grand children...and to be frank...I DO NOT LIKE the darn thing..
Although I am 70 years old I consider this an old mans phone... I can't "hot rod" ... customize to meet my own needs nearly as easy as I could my original HTC EVO 4 G ..
Battery life is not great heck I have to use my Morphie Air Pack every day in the early evening ...I have absolutely no games on the phone....but I do read a lot on the phone.(no e-mail because I can't find a good app that allows me to delete 100 messages with 1 or 2 taps...) ...
Not a complaint in the world about its build quality...but honestly its the Oldsmobile of phones or maybe a Buick ...I prefer Corvettes (and Porches !!!!)
