my hands getting itchy...feel like changing to S4 from iphone 4.... any review?

[Charnic]

I am an Iphone 5 user switched Samsung. 3rd day into using my S4. My comments are :


Battery life span equally as short. Need to charge by half a day. Btw, not a heavy user. App 25 mins of talk time and 30 mins of surfing

Ear piece not as comfortable as Iphone 5

Still confused over the functions :oops:

[Sun_2010]

Still getting my hands on testing.

I am moving from Iphone4 to S4

What I like so far/ think I will find useful.
1. Size - i dont need my glasses to see the contacts
2. Battery life has been good. I charge only at night. It lasts me the whole day comfortably. Yesterday - abt 30 mins of you tube, 1+ hr surfing, 40-45 mins talk time. Today the charge is @ 70 % now since 6 am , with abt 30 mins surfing and 20 mins talk

3. The screen colours are great.
4. I like S-Voice ( aka siri of iphone. ) Better than Siri but quite far from perfection. Useful for sending short sms, setting timer and alarm. It cannot understand Singapore street names.

Nice to have - free what
1.. Air gesture. Nice to have. Air scroll - still getting used to it.
2. Like that alarm snooze has a limit on the repetitions
3. S-health. Explored a bit . just a feel good, likely lose interest in a couple of months


What I need to get done asap
1. Move my music from itunes Desperate!
2. Get some main apps - so far got skype, iris,and facebook only.
3. Remove all those default alerts.

Next moves:
1. Explore photo
2. Manage Calender

Thanks.. Yes, my next mission is to transfer my photos before i say good bye to my Iphone 5.. I have only managed to transfer them to \"store and share\" folder but unfortunately, cannot use the photos stored there as wall paper.


Do share if you manage to transfer your photos successfully. TIA.

You mentioned your battery life span is good ? Really ? :roll: Maybe i should put most of the advance options to \"off\" mode to save some battery ? My itchy fingers on all the extra like air wave, air motion etc... :scratchhead:
