SHOULD I SELL MY SAMUNG GALAXY S4 AND BUY THE IPHONE 5?
Hey there, this is a quick question regarding the Samsung galaxy s4, basically: SHOULD I SELL MY SAMUNG GALAXY S4 AND BUY THE IPHONE 5? here below are my reasons for thinking of doing so...
so i had an iphone 4 (not the 4s) for exactly 3 years and i felt like i got my money's worth so i decided to get the next "most talked about" phone in my social group the "Samsung galaxy s4" as all i heard was nothing but good things about it so just over a week ago i went and got it.
WHAT I HATE/DISLIKE ABOUT THE SAMSUNG GALAXY S4...
android itself, i find it slow and cluttered compared to the simple and clean ios. (could just be im too use to ios)
the android apps compared to ios apps (like ebay, youtube and a few others i use daily) seem to be rubbish, i mean they do the same thing eventfully but they seem to be missing many quick/easy/useful features then the ios versions.
notifications, i hate the way all my notifications are hidden in the top left hand corner and they only make a noise and having blinking coloured light, i miss the notifications on the iphone where they are far more visual and light up the screen and are clearly visible in the middle of the screen as well as making a noise. (THIS IS MY MAIN REASON FOR CONSIDERING SELLING THE S4 AND GETTING THE IPHONE 5)
all the s4 features i thought i would use, turns out nearly all of them are pointless and i have disabled most of them apart from "multi window" aka multi tasking, which i only use if I'm using ebay and paypal at the same time after i have sold an item or items on ebay.
the camera, i thought I'd be able to sell my sony cyber shot 13.1 mp camera once i got this phone but the Samsungs s4 13mp camera seems to be quite rubbish, i mainly use a camera to take photos of items to sell on ebay, also i don't use or care about the camera features as i don't find them useful (for me anyways).
battery dies so quickly on the Samsung galaxy s4, i do the exact same amount of web usage/youtube watching/facebooking/ebaying ect ect ect on the s4 and it just dies almost twice as fast compared to my 3 year old iphone 4.
WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THE SAMSUNG GALAXY S4...
the screen its really nice and bigger and hd video content looks amazing compared the my old iphone 4.
the super easy way of putting music, photos and videos on the s4 via my 64gb sd card (SIMPLY THE BEST THING I LIKE ABOUT THE S4 AND I WILL MISS ALOT IF I GET THE IPHONE 5) compared to the horrible way of doing it via itunes on my iphone 4, for 3 years i gave up on itunes and didnt bother with music or videos, this way i created a youtube account and subscribed to all the music/video content i like coz it was a ball ache messing about with itunes.
WHAT I DONT CARE ABOUT ON ALL SMART PHONES NOT JUST THE SAMSUNG GALAXY S4
the processer, the ram, benchmark stats, mobile gaming.
Maybe it's just me and im far to use to ios after owning an iphone 4 for 3 years, which was my 1st ever iphone, but what do you think i should do? sell my Samsung galaxy s4 and buy the iPhone 5? or stick with the s4 and hope that eventually I like it, enjoy it and get use to it?
I WILL BE SELECTING A BEST ANSWER FOR THIS QUESTION.
Also will my vodafone micro sim card that is currently in my s4 work in the iphone 5? completely forgot that there are different sim cards for different phones.
also it would only cost me about me much to get the iphone 5 as the s4 sells for about £350 -£400 on ebay and the iphone 5 sells for about £400, so after fees id only have to put about £50 max towords the iphione 5.
RIGHT THEN, i went to vodafone, told them i wanted my micro sim to work with an iphone 5, they said i needed a nano sim, so they swapped it over, ive put the s4 on ebay on a 3 day listing, and i will be putting my iphone 4 on ebay as well, once there both paid for i should have more then enough to buy an iphone 5, with about £75 spare.

Do whatever you want to do, I would as the iphone has far less problems and is more secure.

First, some facts.
Galaxy S4's camera beats every other flagship. Watch some YouTube videos.
It has real time battery life close to HTC one. It does lose charge if you leave data turned on. Every phone does except iPhone. Disable data when not in use. Yes, 50% of those features are useless most of the time. They are just what you get other than best display, performace, camera.
I don't know what is wrong with your piece.
I think you should change it.
You will be stuck to iTunes. Worst software ever made.
You get a dull display.
You don't get openness of Android. You stick to boring iOs
You get a rectangle shaped phone.
You spend a lot of money and don't get its worth.
I don't see why not.
You must be thinking I am a Samsung fan boy. Not exactly, I would suggest HTC one x plus, Nexus 4, Galaxy s3, HTC One, Galaxy note 2 over iPhone 5. They provide good experience to the users. Ignore the clock speed. Ignore configuration.
If you don't like android, you probably don't deserve it. Stick to easy to use 'safe and secure' brick that costs $800

I think you should continue to use the S4. Give yourself another month with it. If you feel the same way then go ahead and sell it for the iPhone. It's the sort of thing where you ether hate it or love it with both phones, people tend to like one and dislike the other. After about a month go get your hands on an iPhone, a friends or in a shop and have a go of it. You will immediately know if its for you. Hope this helped mate :)

iPhone 5 has a lot of new features plus Apple will have a new IOS update that will fix so many bugs from the previous IOS 6. I would go for iPhone 5
