Only the daylight photos on the galaxy s3 will be better..
For the rest htc one all the way..:good:
It would be interesting to see a poll on how many people are coming from S2's or S3's since these are basically customers Samsung have lost.
Currently have an S3 and debating this also. I'm excited about the sound performance and low light photos but worried about overall camera sharpness and lack of SD slot. Battery is not a biggie but would have been nice (every once in a while I swap them as it's more convenient to have pre-charged).

Yes, I came from S3 to Droid DNA, and LOVE the screen and overall performance! hTC one must have at least equally great screen and even faster performance.
The only thing I didn't used to when switching from S3 to Droid DNA was that I liked the wifi toggle in notification of S3. But after I installed an app called "notification toggle" from google play, everything works great! Didn't miss much about S3 except for the beautiful covers!

From what I have seen, many are going from the S3 to the HTC One. Maybe it was coincidence.
I am also going from a S3 to the One. Still haven't got it though.

I have S3 and my One is ordered, but I don't honestly think it's worthwhile for most people. I just have an addiction, lol.

lol:laugh:
I've actually got both the S3 and HTC One and have an S4 prototype to use at work and out of the three of them i have to say that the HTC is my favourite, it's really grown on me as a device, i was ready to ditch it the other day and get my money back but theres a problem with that which is in the process of being resolved but in the mean time i'm loving using the phone, everything just works at the drop of a hat. Having used the S4 today and saw some benchmarks in front of me the HTC One actually won on every one ? Which was weird as i'd read that it's supposed to be the other way around.
Saying that it is a prototype and not the actual S4 but the hardware is there, maybe not the finished software though so that probably played a part and it's not my phone so i have no idea what was installed.
I'm guessing that when the S4 is released it's going to be a beast, but as i said i still found myself going back to the One, it's build quality and those speakers are just incredible, the screen is like a mini cinema.
My only gripes (and they're not major) CRT probably won't be on the Sense roms, Bluetooth support for apps like sixaxis doesn't work (hopefully it will in the future but it actually doesn't work at the moment and will probably need a stock android rom like CM to get it to work)
Camera isn't as good as i'd have hoped for.
And lastly for me, battery life has been poor and the phone has been hot when gaming (rooted or not, it has got hot at times, but then again, it's so slim so i suppose that's to be expected)
At the moment i would say either the S4 or the HTC One is a worthwhile upgrade from the S3 seeing as both of them were able to smash quadrant into pieces and score 12500 (ish) and the s3, from my experience has only been able to manage 6500, this is seen throughout both phones and they both perform so well it's unreal.
This year should be a good one for development, difficult decision to make between the two of them, but a no brainer coming from the S3.

The pictures i've taken have been either roughly the same or superior on the S3, low light might be there but in terms of a quality pic, then no the S3 is the better camera, apertature aside, it is only a 4MP camera at the end of the day and definition has suffered because of that.
Best damn 4MP camera i've ever used though, but i wouldn't say it's better than the S3, we got a few and blew them up and yea, s3.
Makes more sense come from an S3 for a ONE (premium design, different UI and screen) than someone from an S3 to an S4, because it's almost the same thing.

I'm coming from a GS3. Pre-ordered the One on Sprint.
I'm on S3 and on 2nd HTC one which has stuck pixel and some rough edges & my 1st one got gap so I advise you to wait until more finished our flawless batch comes out or wait for next better phone as s4 or Xperia z are not worth or impressive as HTC one, but S3 is difficult to beat in many terms and not easy to forgatable, and thank god I havent sell my S3 yet

That really sucks to hear about sixaxis support. I was hoping to use the phone to run emulators when I go on trips.

I believe many of you have come from galaxy SII or any other high end devices. I've had galaxy SII for 6 months and now I have to decide whether buy a galaxy SIII or not.I know S3 is much more powerful but seems to lack to present real new features. I doubt Whether it's worthy to upgrade or not. I would like to hear your opinion, however I appreciate sincere answers not only some radical misjudges.

I have the Epic Touch on Sprint (GS2), and I preordered. However, the more reviews I saw and sample photos and the like, I couldn't see that it was worth the upgrade and a new 2-year jail sentence with Sprint. I cancelled my preorder and will stay with the Epic Touch, which I'm very pleased with.
I'll say why I upgraded from my SGS2 which I loved, bigger is better. Wanted a bigger screen but not to sacrifice pocketability, so 4.7 or 4.8 was the ideal size next compared to the GNote.
I'm a sucker for new technology so quad core performance.
I went with the HOX to have a change. Also got the sgs3 to test so will say why I think it's a a good upgrade.
Bigger HD screen. Once you go HD you'll love it.
Notification light very useful from my BlackBerry days for multiple events.
Wolfson DAC s2 sound quality wasn't the best so having a Wolfson back is a pleasant move and if supercurio brings voodoo sound it'll be even better.
Better camera.
Quad core, it's fast but the sgs2 is no slouch either. Nothing maximises quad yet.
New Touchwiz slightly better than the previous version but not a sole reason to upgrade.
Smart stay is useful in certain situations.
It's an upgrade but not a huge upgrade. I still think if your happy with the sgs2 then no need to upgrade best to wait for prices to drop then make the move and any initial issues to be sorted out. My one has the yellow tint.

Have a high end device that I will own for a few years!
It will have lots of modders, so it will stay updated through the times
Just like the First galaxy S series has
My Galaxy Nexus is like 8 months old, and looks about 5 years old the paint is mullered, the metal round camera is scuffed basically it looks ****ed.
My S2 never looked like that even after 18 months.
I have been out of contract for about four months, rocking a Thunderbolt, and I was just bored to tears with it. I've done all the ROM's and just wanted to move on.
I really considered dumping VZ, but it's hard to walk away from that damn network lol. I didn't see any other phone coming soon that interested me, including the HOX. I need sd card and removable battery, otherwise I'd be using an iphone.
Great specs need something else to play with as my nexus is phasing out.
This is not just a phone - Galaxy Nexus
I've been on an Epic 4G (Sprint's original Galaxy S) since it's launch. It's feeling quite dated even though CM9 has given it some new life. It was between the SGSIII or the HTC EVO LTE (One X). The non-removable battery on the HTC made my decision pretty easy.
I'm still more than happy with my sgs2, I won't be upgrading yet, this will do till the sgs4 - a real upgrade

Yep you're right too.The screen is bigger but just about 0.5 inch. I haven't had SGS3 in my hand but I've played with my friend's HOX and have to say SGS2 screen is still one of the best.even more,I found the HOX a laggy device in contrast to SGS2.

About having the high end device i have to disagree with you.it only takes 6 months to find a new monster in the market.but I think you're right about the modders. For know my only motivation is migration of great devs like gokhanmoral to SGS3.

I loved T-mobile's Galaxy s2, so the s3 was a must have.
I have a HTC Aria, its 2 years old only has 3G on it, iPhone size screen. I'm ready to upgrade. The battery life of the S3, doubles mine, the 2GB ram quadruples mine, and the processor well lets just not compare those.
Haha had an aria as well for a year then got an inspire... I thought I was making a huge jump
"All this knowledge is giving me a major brainer!"
My first Droid (coming from iPhone 3Gs) is this Thrill 4G. I went by specs and the 3D feature. Everyone said it was a gimmick, but I liked it and it will be the only thing I will miss about it.
Anyway, it turned out to be a real dog. Nothing but issues with my music (especially playlists), missed calls that it doesn't tell me about but I get the messages, slow camera and I could go on. I have restored it, rooted it, tweaked it and I am sick of it.
Two of my friends have GS2s and they have always been so much better and faster. So much more support. So much prettier, snappier, better pictures. But I waited. I waited for the successor. Now it is coming to the U.S. and I can finally trump my buddies! MUHAHAHAH!!! Then one of them ordered the GS3 also, but I'll have mine first! Maybe. Depends on the Judge I suppose.
Anyway, that's my story. Excuse me whilst I go back to converting my 3D pics to 2D.
I've had my captivate since late 2010, and though I've had a faster Android experience with the Transformer Prime, I'm ready to experience it in a phone.
Apart from that, I've really wanted LTE for a whole. 3G is just too slow.

I've had an iPhone 3G (9 of them...) for the past 4 years. It's painstakingly slow! You guys don't even know! If i was being chased by a pack of wild tigers I'd probably get mauled before I could call 911 on this crap. Also for me, iOS is very stale and boring now. I want something new and FRESH! I love customizing everything I own and Android will allow me to do just that.
I love mine but im not hard to please when it comes to new phones lol. List some good apps for me to download for my s3

I'm diggin it.. I think my expectations were too high though. I guess that's what happens when the phone is talked about 6 months in advance.

Best phone I ve ever used! I'm enjoying it so much I'm not in a hurry to flash any roms yet only addition I've made to stock is the keyboard. The Samsung keyboard was driving me crazy. ICS keyboard is the best in my opinion even if it don't have a swipe feature. I was worried that it was gonna feel cheap and slippery in my hands but Sammy did a good job cause its the best thing I've ever held in my hands, well one of the best definitely glad I got the white hot color, so.. sexy!

It's okay. I also have the SGSII and the Galaxy Nexus. The SGSIII is by no means a big improvement over either.
The software experience and design of the Galaxy Nexus makes it the most enjoyable to use of them all.
I think Samsung only defaced the ICS UI with their butt ugly TouchWiz UI (which I've been able to cover up for the most part with Apex launcher).
Most of the touted new features (besides the camera) of the SGSIII are pretty much gimmicks and don't even really work. S Voice is horrendous and should be deleted. The most useful one is probably smart call but it's only a hit or miss.
Overall the SGSIII is a stellar phone but I was expecting much more. I'm really left wanting more.
My 3 most frustrating issues with it are the horrendous battery life on T-mobile USA (also the battery takes an eternity to charge), and the freaking middle hardware button instead of the software button that's supposed to come with ICS. This detracts significantly from my experience with this phone and lastly, the freaking auto brightness is useless (and you can't use the phone in direct sunlight)
I would definitely return this phone if not for the 32GB storage with micro SD support and the zero shutter lag camera. Samsung you really performed way below expectation . I was expecting much more from the king.
I love it! I came from the Samsung Vibrant (Galaxy S) though, so it was like a night and day difference between the two.
Same as another poster, I quickly installed the vanilla ICS keyboard, as I've never liked the Sammy keyboards. I'm not a swipe user, so I didn't lose out by moving to it.

You may want to try swiftkey keyboard. It's definitely the best. There's a trial version to help you get a feel for it and decide if it's for you.
This is my first Samsung phone, I came from a Dell Streak. I am 100% impressed with this phone. Couldn't be happier with it! I am of course looking forward to the inevitable Jelly Bean development...
I came from the s2 and this phone is better in all aspects. At stock the s2 was garbage. The UI was the same as gingerbread and that's awful. The s3 is way snappier thanks to the ram. The screen is a massive improvement, size and resolution. I like some of the "new" features. Its better than the "new" features of ios6 which is a freaking complete joke. Pop out video, swipe for a screenshot, and prevent screen timeout with your eyes are all actually useful features. I don't regret buying it outright.

Coming from an original EVO with Sense.. the performance of this phone is amazing... love the hardware..
Touchwiz... ug... While I always use a custom launcher anyway, it's the 'little' things that Sense did which I love, specifically the contact list...
In fact I really hate this contact list so bad, it might cause me to swap this for the Evo LTE.. I just cannot stand seeing Facebook, twitter, linkedin ,outlook and gmail contacts as seperate entities... no reason I should see 5 entries for some of my friends.. Sense had it right with their linking option.
ALso loved the aggregation of Facebook, messenger etc.. that sense did. (Though the app "Contapps" has something very similar, it's almost perfect in fact, just hate the contact navigation itself there...)
(And no Touchwiz's linking is horrible as you have to manually link everything!! That's going to take me HOURS to do.. sheesh).
Overall the phone is great.. just irks me that the "PHONE" portion is the most neglected piece of the entire software.. seems somewhat Ironic.
Loving mine. I got a white one. My dad got the blue and my mom has my Hercules. Its fun watching them play with smart phones

Now that the Galaxy S4 has finally been unveiled are any of you planning to upgrade to it? It's definitely an upgrade from the S3, but not as much as I hoped it would be. Don't get me wrong, the screen is gorgeous and it obviously has more horsepower, but side by side next to an S3 you'd be hard pressed to know they're different phones by a quick glance.
My upgrade just came up and I was waiting on this phone but now I think I'm considering the Note II again due to the development it already has and it's (more than) stellar battery life. If the price drops soon due to the S4 release then I will most likely go pick it up. I was also thinking of waiting for the Note III but my patience is wearing thin...

The HTC One is amazing looking but has some serious drawbacks with no removable battery and no expandable storage. Also when the screen is on you will notice it actually has some pretty noticable black borders on the right and left side of the display making it look a lot smaller than it should... kind of an annoyance on an otherwise beautiful display

Note Deuce FTMFW!!! On a side note, if the N2 is too big for some folks, I would get a S3 because its unlocked, plenty of development, and the S4 is not that huge of a upgrade imo...not to mention the S3 can be had for a reasonable price. I prefer the N2 because I have huge hands,amazing battery life, and 2gb of ram.

This is the way I'm leaning (GN2) because I have pretty big hands too so the size can be dealt with, but it might take a while to get used to that monster in my pocket (Fascinate is just so easy to pull out quick to check the time, etc).
The price really needs to drop before I pick it up though, $300 is just too much so if the GS4 releases with a $200 price point and the GN2 doesn't drop in price for whatever reason I will probably end up just getting the GS4. I know it's not a huge upgrade from the GS3 as you say, but the screen is noticeably bigger, brighter, and clearer to me plus it has a bigger battery. Those small upgrades alone are enough to sway me if the price isn't more than $200 (I could care less about all the gimmicky touchwiz stuff they showed off yesterday).
edit: scratch that, it's only $150 on amazon wireless so that pretty much changes things. I'm going to have to go and play with it a bit at the store and then make my decision.

yes, but what happens if the fascinate isn't upgraded to key lime pie (or whatever the new android OS is)? the gnote2 will seriously be a long lasting phone with development going a long way.

Then I will upgrade but to a galaxy s4 but I'm not worried about it for at least another year because I can almost 99% tell you the fascinate is getting key lime pie that could probably last me another 2yrs why fix something if it ain't Brocken? If this fascinate is still running like grease lightning I feel no need to upgrade.

For me personally I really want a bigger screen (at least 5") because I watch a lot of video on my phone (sometimes gaming too) and as nice as the Fascinate is, it's just not big enough (again, this is just me). The fact that we have the latest android is amazing and all our developers are top notch, but still I can feel the phone struggling sometimes, especially during multitasking, so it'll be nice to have a newer phone that has a bit more horsepower to run the latest and greatest. I also want a better camera, NFC, and improved call quality, which no matter what I do to the Fascinate I won't ever get those either. I also want to gift this phone to a friend of mine who doesn't really have the money to own a nice smartphone, so it'll make me feel good to give her an awesome phone that will still get updates to hold her over for some years.

don't forget the spen and multiwindow are very nice features on the n2 that the s4 wont have. don't get me wrong the s4 will be a solid device, but I would go with whatever you can get a better deal on. At this point the hardware is far more capable than the software on the latest devices.
bbrad, I absolutely cringe at the thought of trying to run key lime pie on the fascinate. If you ever used a device with 2gb of ram for a week you would never go back trust me. I go weeks on end without rebooting and my n2 keeps on flying. Its time to upgrade bro. The fascinate was a great device in its day, but now its just a piece of history imo. not to mention the iphone now has the same size screen lol...that there would make me run like hell!!

People cringed at 4.2 on the fascinate remember when everyone said it would be horrible and laggy? Look at us now I haven't rebooted my fascinate for a week still no lag I've used many big ram devices like the n4 let's put it this way my phone on AOKP is faster than most of these newer devices on stock lol and I can't upgrade anyway I'm 14 and I. Can't exactly start a new contract due to I won't be able to pay for it so I would have to outright buy a phone and I don't have the money to do that

The general consensus on here is still that the I9500 is the phone to get. That it's somehow the 'proper' S4 and the I9505 is a pretender of some sort. Well I'll be honest, and unusually for me, I did little to no research on the S4 prior to purchasing one so was unaware there were numerous models. So when I upgraded from my two-year-old Galaxy S2 to my Galaxy S4 I decided to do it on the basis of having a play with it in the shop for ten minutes and liking what I saw.
Then a few hours after getting it home and checking out XDA Devs I realised I didn't have the model with the Exynos chipset in it and I can't lie, I was disappointed and felt a little cheated. But then over the next few weeks I started seeing the advantages, despite there being disadvantages too. The support out there for the Qualcomm Snapdragon being the obvious one. It's an open source chipset, and as a result the transfer of Android builds like CM, AOSP, AOKP and Paranoid Android are easy to get working. This is shown by the first working builds of CM and AOKP (albeit with a few bugs) being built by someone who didn't at the time even own the phone, and within a couple of weeks of the phone's release. At the opposite end of the spectrum the Exynos has little to no documentation which leaves developers fumbling around in the dark for months as shown by what happened in the past with the S2 and S3, the latter of which I believe still doesn't have a proper stable CM build despite being over 12 months old now. I get the distinct impression you won't see a proper working I9500 CM build for months, where as there are half a dozen non-stock builds on the I9505 already. For people who will be sticking with stock this doesn't mean much, but I have read the disappointment of enough I9500 owners to know there are a lot of people out there who are annoyed about this -- there are a lot of people who don't like TW and, if they own a I9500, they're currently screwed. Also, in terms of chipsets, you have the recent articles about the issues with the Octacore and how Samsung themselves aren't even using Exynos on their upcoming models and are going with Qualcomm. And when it comes to support in Android, Qualcomm is the better option simply because far more devices use it.
Another advantage is provided by Google themselves. It's now common knowledge that they're releasing a Nexus version of the S4 based on the I9505, this means a proper stock-stable AOSP build will be available for the I9505 as soon as that phone is released. Sure, it might not work 'out of the box' so to speak, as there are bound to be differences. But nothing the boffins on this forum won't overcome in quick fashion I'm sure. I imagine this will also result in much more stability in CM and AOKP builds.
Then you have LTE. While it's an advantage, personally, I can take or leave this as 4G coverage in the UK is s**t and currently only one network supports it and people have to pay through the nose. My network (O2-UK) won't have it until the end of the year and even then it will undoubtedly cost a fortune. I'm happy with 3G speed myself. I certainly didn't buy an S4 on the basis of it.
Of course, there are a couple of disadvantages, namely the lack of a Wolfsen chipset and what looks to be a slightly lesser camera sensor. I'd like both of these of course but can live without them as it's not as if what you get on the I9505 is rubbish in comparison. Also, you have a slight performance advantage with the I9500 but nothing you would see outside of a benchmark application. Do people think the extra 13% performance on Quadrant will translate into real world use? Of course not.
So to sum up with a few questions would I be disappointed to own a I9500 instead? Definitely not, it's clearly a fantastic phone and I don't find TW too bad an option. But would I swap my I9505 for an I9500 looking at all the available facts at this moment in time? No, and I'm not just saying that because I own one.
I'm very happy with my i9505, same as you I didn't do much research prior to purchase. The lack of the octacore doesn't bother me in the slightest: firstly, it doesn't even work as advertised. Secondly, Samsung are the worst for releasing source code (refer to the galaxy s2) and the Snapdragon will have more open source support. LTE will be available here soon, and the lack of a Wolfson DAC doesn't bother me either, it's a phone, not a Linn HiFi system.

my story is completely opposite of yours. :\
I did tons of research before getting the S4. was totally sure that the advantages of the Qualcomm is miles ahead of the exynos one. The custom ROM support is a deciding facto for me, but then again, I just couldn't get hold of one 9505 in India. Now am cramped with TW and the phones heats up like hell. Even the air view and other "useable" gestures are lagging like hell. stutters, jitters, heat, am disappointed. and the main pinch in the shoe is still to come. Since I have flashed a kernel, my binary now reads custom and Triangle away counter reset is not coming (at least in near future) for the S4 Octa.
I regret getting the S4 now. should have taken the ONE or the Xp. Z
I was happy until I came across the sound distortion problem. Now I feel I have bought a poor excuse for a flagship phone. Having something you can't use decent earphones with is hopeless.

I must be lucky (touch wood). There have been many different complaints about both variants and that the i9505 suffers from heating problems, sound distortion and screen problems. No such problems for me, and I reckon Samsung will iron out some issues in due course (still doesn't excuse the fact there have been many faulty phones!)

It is annoying if it happens with good earphones you already own. However, it's easily resolved by using earphones above a certain impedance, of which there are a plethora of choices.

I use klipsch S4i. Will it work crackleless with i9505?
It's always the same with Samsung. They will release every month new firmware and it will get better and better. You know that when you buy one of the first phones, it will have some small issues. That's where the difference is with htc. Samsung will fix the software issues, where htc does next to nothing.
And I can't wait for the Google version.
Btw. If you root and remove all the S crap the phone is fast as hell

They're 18ohms so its possible. Best asking in the thread about this problem.

I did only a little research and as soon as I saw:
1) no LTE
2) octocore doesn't REALLY function the way one would think it does
3) snapdragon is opensource
The decision became quite clear and quite easy for me to make.
I'm a bit sad to lose some of the functionality by going to CM on my I9505 but the speed, cleanliness, and similar look/feel as my SGS2 made it worth it.
Can I just say... I turned on my SGS2 the other day to look at some old settings and looking at the screen made me wonder how I dealt with that resolution for so long?
Happy?
I'm pretty disappointed in respects to the camera software. I relied on my good experiences with Samsung phones since 2000 and
the recently happy time with the Galaxy S 2 and S3.
But this one takes me apart from Samsung.
If there will not come out a good camera software for my GT-I9505 in a very quick time - I sell our two phones and step back to the S3 for my wife and me.

I don't feel that it is right that I spend 400gbp on a set of headphones and 500gbp on a phone that aren't compatible. I like quality products and don't mind spending good money... Only one of these is a quality product though.
I know I can plug a set of old earphones into it but that isn't good enough. I want to use my decent headphones. In a similar fashion I wouldnt want to spend hundreds on a bluray player to be told my TV is too good for it and I need to watch things through a rubbish TV so why should I expect the same here.

I agree, although to be fair if I owned a pair of £400 headphones I wouldn't be using them on a mobile phone (I have a iRiver H340 running Rockbox myself and have never bothered using a phone as my MP3 player). However, I can imagine purchasing the phone if you already owned them before finding out they display the incompatibility would be annoying as hell. But for people who buy the phone before purchasing good headphones for it, there are numerous choices out there which are both high quality and compatible.
On a side note I do like how the thread seems to have picked up a 1 star rating. From an annoyed I9500 owner no doubt. :good:
After the getting the I9505 i was really concerned about the heating problem, the phone literally could boil an egg after 15 min of a phone call.
Then i went to 3 store and explained the whole thing and they exchanged it for me.
Now i can say my phone is running very smoothly heat free for sure.
Never had a heat issue with mine from day one.

Not everyone wants to carry two devices. And shouldn't have to when the s4 is advertised at being able to play music with no mention of special headphones being required.
I agree, carrying one device would be ideal and it should work with all earphones/headphones. But I'm a bit of a fussy bugger when it come to sound quality and I have yet to hear a mobile that comes up to scratch when compared to a proper dedicated device running Rockbox, especially when the volume is upped.

Hi guys,
I was a (very) happy Galaxy S2 user and wanted to do the bump with the S4. I've got it with a very expensive price plan from Vodafone (yeah, blame me on that) and now I'm having a hard lifetime concerning payments and all that nasty stuff nobody wants to know about. I'm just explaining this to add for the disappointment I'm having with this new phone.
First it was the poor audio quality (yeah, I do really think S2 sounded better even if it had a poorer DAC), then it was the greyish LCD look of the screen (AMOLED, right?), the purple smearing & the slow response of pixel drawing... So, Today I've received the MEA OTA update and the phone got worse: faster battery draining, 1s camera lag, Adapt Sound (ace utility if you ask me) stopped working and never came back, some UI mistakes... issues well long and discussed in here.
Thing is, this phone is brand new, just got it for 6 days and I was also thinking of buying HTC ONE at first because audio DAC quality and, why not, to taste another Android flavour.
So my question would be: Would you recommend to exchange/switch it with somebody else for the HTC ONE on secondhand market? Or is it just a matter of lazy samsung devs? Will it get better (ie issues resolved) in some time? I'm just asking for oppinions, certainly nobody can give us those answers for real, but for the sake of wellness...
Cheers,
Slit.

I am also one of the guys who upgraded from s2..so far i am very happy with it..if u r talking abt the music playback audio quality then its way better than s2..so either u got a faulty device or u should factory reset and then apply the update again..no lags here..
Sent from my GT-I9500
thanks for your thoughts guitarmafia.
about sound quality: yeah, it appears so, and I do believe this Qualcomm DAC is way better than the Yamaha one in S2, although I do really hear it worse. Sounds more nasal, more resonant than the S2 was. Maybe I need to get used to it?
lag: I do have lag now, sunday night I was making pictures with Zero Lag alright (very impressed coming from an S2) and today, after the OTA update, I've got the camera firmware update and started to have shutter lag. My girlfriend's S3 does pics almost instantly, way faster than this.
Perhaps you should do what everbody does, and root it with a good Romsuch as Cyanogenmod or a good touchwiz one and you'll appreciate it.
I'm also disappointed since i feel my S2 was just as fast and as good.
S2 with NeatROM 4.8 was just as fast and as good as this S4, indeed. I do appreciate the FullHD screen compared to these 480x800, but instead we've got a greyish screen... and I do expect a quality product when I buy the flagship of Samsung, tbh.
Try a MF8 rom. Might fix some issues. Using it and have no problems. Smooth and fast. Dont know about cam lag because I dont have a reference point.

Oh, I see. Don't worry. I'm more confident with this screen and its response, although this isn't the phone I was expecting... and getting a i9500 is out of the question.
About MF8 rom, well, changelog doesn't look more promising than this MEA I have now.

I see that you have the i9505, are you an audiophile by any means? Not asking rudely, just wondering about a fellow music addict and i9505 audio quality compared with HTC One
