Q. I just got it and to be honest its my first real cellphone (I'm 16 btw xD) so I just wanted to know how good of a phone it is from anyone who has this phone. And also perhaps any app downloading sites that you'd recommend, preferably free apps. Thanks!
A. I actually have a samsung galaxy and i love it any way you will use google play to get your apps (comes on the phone)
Should I get the HTC One or the Samsung Galaxy S4?
Q. I torn between these two devices. At first I was leaner toward the One because it has an amazing build quality, speakers on front, an LCD display (I hate pentile which the GS4 uses). But then I started to sway as HTC is horrible with updates, the S4 is on a newer version of android, Samsung updates devices faster, and its eye tracking features seem nice. I really dont care about expandable memory or changeable batteries. Any thoughts?
A. Samsung Galaxy S4 vs HTC One
I would pick the S4 because(I know you said you don't care about microsd/removable battery however I put it there for the community)
1. It is quicker- 1.9ghz quad core vs 1.7ghz quad core
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 the HTC One(64gb) if you get a 64gb microsd.
3.Removable battery- This means you can replace the battery if you run out of charge when you are around unlike the HTC One which you have to charge or bring an external charger and charge it from there, however this is an akward 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.
4.Repairability- iFixit gave HTC One the worst rating for repairability (https://www.google.ie/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&ved=0CDQQqQIwAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fibnlive.in.com%2Fnews%2Fhtc-one-scores-1-out-of-10-for-repairability-after-teardown%2F382264-11.html&ei=4B5fUfGMK46BhAe2-4HgCQ&usg=AFQjCNFFmFehC4KzSZI1YUuOVHA1YZ2Ong&sig2=JNimZy7FL937Y6OkKGcTtQ&bvm=bv.44770516,d.ZG4) and TechnoBuffalo said that the S4 is miles more repairable http://www.technobuffalo.com/videos/samsung-galaxy-s4-teardown-video/
5. Screen- It is amazing and bigger than the screen on the HTC One (yes this is an advantage). Yes it has less ppi (440ppi S4 vs 468ppi HTC One) reviewers say that the difference in ppi is unnoticeable but you can see the difference in colours as the amoled display is has amazing colours. The big screen is also an advantage as it as you can do so much more with it, multitask for example. Also I can fit the Note 2 in one hand with medium hands and actually use it so in my opinion one hand use should not be an issue as the Note 2 is half an inch bigger.
6. Real 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 HTC One.
7. 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(on One too)
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.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
8.Camera features- First of all reviewers say the only place that the HTC One beats S4 camera wise is in low light without flash, the rest are about the same(actually the S4 photos have more detail and are clearer according to CNET) except in video where the S4 wins. So in my opinion the cameraâs are very similar so itâs more about features in the end, S4 wins here
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.More but those are my favorite
Hope this helped
p.s Enjoy your new phone no matter which one it is
Q. about Samsung Galaxy vs. iPhone?
Q. Okay, so I know this is probably going to be one of the more ignorant questions on here, but I have an iPhone 4 and I'm needing to upgrade. I've been flip-flopping between a 5s or a Samsung Galaxy for a while now. I'm extremely comfortable with the operating software on iPhones and it's almost second nature to me, so I'm iffy about switching to something completely different (Galaxy). However, as time goes on I'm becoming more and more frustrated with Apple/iPhones like many people and Samsung has been looking better and better to me lately. They're supposedly more user-friendly/customizable too, which is really important to me.
My main question is this: Can you use iTunes for Galaxy phones, or do you have to stick to Google Play? I've never seen this addressed before so I'm assuming you can't. I use iTunes a lot and I have a good bit of store credit and I don't want it to go to waste by switching to a device that doesn't allow iTunes integration.
Also, any input/opinions/tips/etc from people who have switched from iPhones to a Samsung Galaxy is much appreciated!!
Thanks in advance ^_^
A. You and me are thinking alike. I have been an iphone user since the 3G, and product user since 2nd gen iPod nano. I have owned 4 iPhones and its been a hell of a ride. Between being the one in my group with the best phone, to the worst. Between the amount of money I've spent on repairs, etc. etc.
From all my research on the two types of phones, iPhone and Samsung. Samsung has come out on top, as dominant. Unless iPhone can stop coming out with the minor extra add ons and begin to compete with Samsung, there is just no chance.
I have not switched over yet, but my idea is switch over from iPhone 4s to Samsung Galaxy Note 3 w/Galaxy gear watch. I've played with and tested the iPhone 5, 5c and 5s. Difference between my 4s? Faster. Should be, considering the processing chip has improved. But is that anywhere near compatible towards to Samsung galaxy s4 or note 3? NO. Camera MP are awesome an important feature to look closely on, but all a matter of opinion and necessity.
Anyways, to answer your question whether iTunes can be used. According to this link from eHow, it can be done through a third party. check it out : http://www.ehow.com/how_8545753_sync-samsung-galaxy-itunes.html
