I'm eligible for an upgrade, but I'm stuck to which phone I should get. I currently own an iPhone 4, and my only dislike about it is the outdated 3G. I've heard good things about the Galaxy S4, and the woman at the AT&T store told me it's much better than the iPhone if you like to do more than talk and email, but the menus are harder to get used to than an iPhone's. But, I've become so accustomed to the iOS software, iMessage and apps, that it would be hard to switch to Android software.

I like to download games and emulators, watch videos, listen to music, and text if that helps any.



Answer
This is why I believe that the Samsung Galaxy S4 is better than the iPhone 5
1. It is quicker (1.9 quad core processor/ 1.6ghz Octa core vs 1.3 dual core processor)
2. Microsd- you can expand the memory with a 64gb microsd. This a cheaper way to expand your memory and you can have a 16 gb S4 and still have more storage than iphone 5 if you get a 64gb microsd.
3. USB OTG- you can read usb keys no problem with an adapter so you can check out whats on them so you don't have to put your computer on.
4. Microusb charger- Better than the lighting connector as you can get them http://easi.ly and cheaply but also you might have it from other devices as it is becoming standard for smartphones to use microusb chargers.
5. Removable battery- This means you can replace the battery if you run out of charge when you are around unlike the iphone 5 which you have to charge or bring an external charger and charge it from there, however this is an awkward way of charging your phone. Also the removable battery can help you prevent water damage as you can remove the battery if it falls in water, thus reducing the chances of water damage.
6. NFC- Want to transfer a music album quicker than bluetooth, well now you can with NFC. You can also use Tectiles 2 to make your life easier
7. Customizable- Change launcher(Are you bored, get a new launcher that suits you and your personality), custom ROM your phone and have access to apps specifically made for rooted devices directly on the play store. You control the device so that it suits you.
8. Dropbox- Love cloud storage well Samsung is offering 50gb free of charge to S3 owners for 2 years on Dropbox. Backup music, video, photos(this can be done automatically), documents etc. Who doesnât want this amount of free cloud storage?(You have to complete a certain amount of steps to get the free storage but none requires any credit card details or anything to complicated) (N.B Not everyone will be offered this bonus as carriers have been known to have stopped Samsung from offering this to customers)
9. Screen- Itâs bigger but not to big. It has 441ppi vs iPhone5âs 326ppi plus the Amoled screen creates beautiful colors.
I also found no problems when using one hand, and I have medium hands if not small hands.
10. LED indicator- A small LED on the top of your device shows what notifications you got by distinguishing them with colours(For example blue for email, green for charged) This means you can see what the notification was about without putting your screen on. It is extremely useful feature for those than hate wasting time.
11. Android features-Widgets, live wallpapers, Google Now and all the beauty of android, widgets on the lockscreen etc
12. Samsung added features
a. Smartstay- won't turn the screen off if you are still looking at it.
b. Smartpause- pauses a video when you turn around and turns it back on when you turn back
c. Eye controlled webpage scrolling
d. Airview- check link to learn more http://www.phonearena.com/news/Samsung-Galaxy-S-4-display-Air-View-and-Air-Gesture-demoed-on-video_id40881
e. Infrared TV remote
f. External temperature and humidity sensors
g. Use the phone while using gloves
h. S Health- useful for health enthusiasts
i. S Translator- itâs all in the name a translator
j. Blocking Mode- activate it to block things like calls, notifications, messages, LED indicator etc
k. Power Saving Mode- Can be used to save power by limiting the processor speeds, turning of Haptic feedback, using less power for the screen and changing the color in the stock browser and email app
l. Home screen modes- for beginners it makes the home screen setup easier
m. Etc- I could go on but check the link to see even more features http://www.phonearena.com/news/Samsung-Galaxy-S4-10-exclusive-or-little-known-features-review_id41541
13. Camera- It has a 13mp camera vs iPhone 5âs 8mp. It has more features than than the iPhoneâs camera which makes it even better.
a. Dual shot- take photos from both cameras so that you can include the photographer in a photo
b. Photo with audio message- record a message before or after a photo to add to a photo
c. Eraser shot- can remove unwanted moving content
d. Drama shot- takes pictures of a moving object and puts the moving object through the whole picture
e. More but those are the best
14. Multitasking- watch videos while online, write an email while watching a video, send a message while surfing the web, you can split the screen in two so you can multitask without a bother, this cannot be done on the iPhone 5.
15. Durability- The S4 does not suffer from scratches like the iphone 5 where the back of the phone is aluminium and scratches really easy, the S4 does not suffer this fate.

I think that the S4 will devalue in less time than Iphone 5 because the 5s will be almost the same, but Samsung will get out another cell phone sooner than Iphone 6.

Is an Android phone better than an Iphone?

I've been thinking of getting a new phone. It seems that some people prefer Android phones than Iphones. I'm not sure what the differences are. Any suggestions?


Answer
Well, having worked with both pretty extensively, I prefer Android. Now, keep in mind, I am more into technical things. The iPhone has its pluses. It is easy to use, and the mail app seems better than "stock" Android.

A few dislikes though. First, you have to use iTunes for just about everything you put on or take off your phone and that gets VERY annoying. For example, I wanted to add some nice pictures. So I had to "sync" them through iTunes which optimizes the photos. Not only is this slow, but it basically takes a beautiful shot and scales it down to VGA quality (low quality) which is fine on the phones tiny screen, but if you go to send it to someone or whatever and they look at it on their system, its crap. Same with music, video, etc...all goes through iTunes crappy slow process.

With Android, all that is just drag and drop. You plug it into your computer and it shows up like a drive and you put stuff where you want, the way you want.

Second...and this is a big one...the apps. Everyone talks about the amazing app selection for iPhones. Well, here is the rub. There are very few free apps and most really are not that great. If they are great, expect to shell out some decent cash for them.
Android, while having fewer apps (keep in mind fewer still is hundreds of thousands) there are a LOT of free apps and many of them are very high quality. Not to mention Amazon has a free paid app every day and some of them are pretty awesome.

Third, lag...people say "Android phones lag compared to iPhones" this is such a load of crap. First off, iPhones have lag as well. I've experienced it so many times. Second, people who claim their Android phones lag have one of two issues. The first I outline in the next paragraph. The second is they have a boat-load of widgets running (something you can't do on an iPhone) which is basically a little program that puts (usually) dynamic information on your "desktop" for lack of a better word. Well, if you little phone gets turned on, has to establish an internet connection, download a bunch of contact and update a dozen widgets...yeah...there is going to be some hesitation. In my experience, if you don't run widgets then a decent Android phone has the same, if not less, lag than an iPhone 4.

Fourth, phone quality. This is an issue as well. People seem to have no trouble dropping a couple hundred dollars on an iPhone, but then if they get an Android phone they find the "free" or $50 phone and get that...then they get all bent out of shape saying that Android sucks, blah blah. Well, if you buy a $2000 computer and then buy a $200 computer, which do you think will perform better? In other words, if you are going to buy an Android phone, don't settle for some crappy low-end one. Drop that same $200 like you would on an iPhone and you will have a very nice experience with Android. But if you buy that $50 Android phone with a measly 600Mhz processor and 128mb RAM...your phone will hesitate, sputter, lag, and frustrate you beyond words.

EDIT: I just read what Borna said and I was laughing. Completely inaccurate in almost everything he said.

Bend Android Vieos apps to upload the pictures and videos?




nicevenu


i have samsung android phone. due to my son videos my phone is full. I am lazy to use cable in uploading the photos. Even then you have to sync from laptop to storage. its 3 step process. If i want to sync my videos and photos to online storages such as box, google drive, dropbox..which one is easiest app?
1) App should recognize the photos and videos automatically and sync automatically.
2) Should be free.
3) App should have large storage.
4) Need both photos and videos.
5) After syncing if its deleted on the phone, then its must better.



Answer
I recommend Sugarsync and Dropbox apps. Both provide free storage apps and you can upload videos, pictures and other online stuff there.

Sugarsync enables the user to gain access to data, edit and easily upload photos and videos anytime and anywhere. With Sugarsync app your pictures and videos will be in safe hands and will be available when you need them. With many options available to back up your precious memories online, Video and picture are the most convenient and widely used option for those who are concerned of losing data present on hard drives

Dropbox has better user interface. You can not find any hassle in uploading and sharing your pictures and videos. These uploaded files, videos and images are monitored by the Dropbox service on continuous basis. You can store and retrieve your videos as well, making the Dropbox an effective tool to serve the purpose of online video storage

The mobile app offered by the Dropbox supports iPhone, iPad, Android, and Blackberry devices. Photos and videos taken from hand held devices can be directly uploaded to the site.

I also found the list free cloud storage app services including both of them. I recommend to go through them then make the final move.
