Grimes Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 I have an upgrade available and need to use it as my sg3 battery is nearly shot. Give me your opinion based on performance expectations compared to other phones. My sg3 did not do as well with reception so that is something I need considered. Thank you in advance. If you have the chance you should wait a few weeks, wait for the typical Apple price skimming to go down a bit. IE: Wait till the hype dies down :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
There Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 If you have the chance you should wait a few weeks, wait for the typical Apple price skimming to go down a bit. IE: Wait till the hype dies down :3 On contract, it will probably still be $200 until they release the next one. (or whatever price they choose) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bakgrund Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 You could also install cyanogenmod or paranoid, will be much better and faster than touchwiz for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slocumruls Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Apple's software in general is designed for the stupidest people on earth. It is intended to be restrictive in order to "protect the user" from messing up anything. If you like to live in a little bubble and look "cool" to your friends then get an IPhone. If you actually care about features and the hardware underneath then avoid Apple products in general. If you are using your phone to do "phone" things then you shouldn't have needed an upgrade since about 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

♠Derpeh♤ Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Ill leave this here xD Kinda really disappointed at apple atm was hoping for a Wow factor to force android to step it's game up to go "your move android" instead it's just playing catch up. The only real improvement is the speed and bigger screen in the new iphone everything else android has or has done better since a year ago.

The only real improvement is the speed and bigger screen in the new iphone everything else android has or has done better since a year ago. The WOW factor of an iPhone is it being an iPhone. Having an iPhone gives u instant schweg, having the newest gives u duble schweg. Heheh but i use android now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F CHARLIE Posted September 10, 2014 Author Share Posted September 10, 2014 Almost all my trading and bp.tf activity is done from my phone along with half of my email and most of the rest of my internet activity.

The only real improvement is the speed and bigger screen in the new iphone everything else android has or has done better since a year ago. And the only one of those specs that actually means anything at all is the larger screen, widgets, and third party keyboards. Everything else is pretty much meaningless. Higher resolution screens on phones dont make a huge difference -- Ive used a retina screen and an S5 screen for extended periods. Wireless charging/water resistance/ir blasters/multi user support/virtual buttons -- gimmicky/no real benefit. default apps, split screen apps, app installs from a browser -- would be nice, up until now the screen has been too small, would be nice. I'd also highly suggest reading through this: http://www.anandtech.com/show/7335/the-iphone-5s-review/13 Now, its been said that Anadtech is bias'd towards Apple since his Apple reviews tend to be more thorough, but I've never noticed any fanboyism going on.

It's gimmicky worthless shit.... well, kind of anyway. 64 bit doesn't truly benefit until there is a need for more than 4gb of RAM, however, a 64 bit operting system also has a few other benefits--to the point where a 64 bit app can actually run faster than a 32 bit app assuming all else being equal.

My battery is bad also. Well, thinner=better, everyone knows that theres an exponential relationship. For each .1mm knocked off the thickness performance increases by a factor of 10.
