Sucky phone or good phone

I'm running with the s3 as well. Upgraded from the iPhone 4. Had an iPhone since Generation 1 before switching. I won't go back. The iPhone is too small and I love the versatility of the S3 and of Android.

The iPhone does feel tiny when I pick one up now. But that is just me.

Maybe I will rock the new Note. Ginormo phone!

Well, you could always get the plastic iPhone they're releasing.

Sony Xperia T. Great phone, great photos. Very useful for navigation (IGO). Was considering getting an IPhone but for the money it costs xperia was a better choise.

My phone is an old brick. I think I might try living without a mobile for a month, see how it goes.

Nice knowing you Ripley don't let hen bears eat you, also let me know if I can send you some nails for your log cabin.

I was thinking about buying the new Samsung galaxy S5. But not sure if it's any better then S4.

If so, what's the difference? And is it good? And is it worth the money?

Remember when you bought a Phone to use as a phone (Nokia 3210)

From the Galaxy S4 to the S5, you'll see a number of changes. The S5 is slightly larger and a little heavier. the screen is .1" larger, which is negligible to most people.

It will also come equipped with a heart rate monitor, fingerprint scanner, and IP67 certification. IP67 is basically a rating that says a device will be better against the elements. I still wouldn't drop it in a bucket of water. Also, the micro USB port is being equipped with a USB 3.0 interface. Whereas the S4 had a 13 megapixel camera, the S5 is being upped to 16. Not a crazy difference, but the S5 also improves camera focusing and can record 4K resolution video.

Straight up processor and GPU upgrades, going to the Snapdragon 801 CPU and the Adreno 330 GPU. In laymen's terms: Faster, faster, faster. But they're still both using pretty much the same system overall. So how much it can take advantage of the much quicker processor and architecture remains to be seen.

Whether the S5 is worth the money difference is up to you. The new features may add some interesting capabilities, especially if you're planning on investing in a Galaxy Gear, but if you're looking for a quick and still modern phone, the S4 will do just fine.
