Samsung Galaxy Android Phone Sprint
I was one of the people who blew off the S4 as an unimaginative incremental upgrade that would sell like hotcakes to fanboys. Words I find ironic now holding the S4 in my hand. I think the turning point for me came when I was watching a Netflix movie on my HTC one. It was a dark room and the light from my One was entirely too bright so I tapped the screen and pulled down the notification bar to quickly change the brightness...No brightness adjustment. Just a check-box to activate Power Save Mode. So to adjust the brightness I hit the setting button, went into display, and made the change. Reopening the Netflix app, I re-clicked on the movie, it buffered and continued where I left off. Now it was a little too dark...Rinse and repeat. This was about as unintuitive as it gets. I realized at this point I was missing some pretty fundamental options I had grown accustomed to coming from the Galaxy S3. Quick settings aside, the lack of a menu button was becoming more and more of an issue as well. With larger screens it is an annoyance to continually have to reach to the top of a screen to pull down the notification shade and then tap settings in the far upper right, or when in an app to have a quarter inch of my nice 1080p HD display go missing so I can see three small dots indicating click here for Menu. I did my best to enjoy the time I had left with my trophy wife of a phone. But, upon receiving the S4 I was pleasantly surprised, I actually loved the design. It just feels good in the hand. I can honestly say at the end of the day I prefer Samsung's understated design over that of the HTC One. The build feels seamless and is light and thin. The S4 for all it's cheapness in material was a solidly built uniform device. Armed with Quick access to all of of my settings AND a Menu button I finally feel at home. I love the S4. For me it's like not having to give up the S3 I loved while gaining a boost in performance and screen.
In the end this is more of a comparative review between the HTC One and the Samsung Galaxy S4, but since that is the question most android buyers will be facing until the next great phone is announced - Here's my $.02 worth. Guess I'm officialy a fanboy now.
Im able to upgrade this month and i want a android phone so i was looking at the epic 4g but there is a new phone coming out called the samsung galaxy s2 or within for sprint.should i upgrade now or continue to wait for the galaxy to come out?
BalasHapusI got the Samsung Galaxy S 2 from Sprint today, also known as their Epic 4g or something. I tried downloading an app I had on my last phone that didn't transfer over. I looked for it on the Market and it said that I had hundreds of search results and it only gave me like 20 to search through. Any ideas what I can do to get more searches through the Market?? Thanks.
BalasHapusI have a samsung galaxy s2 epic 4g(sprint) and it came with adobe flash but after i reset it it doesnt show up in the play store and when i try to get it online it says that it isnt compatible with my device. I also dont have sprint service anymore so could that have something to do with it?
BalasHapusOK so I have always wanted a android phone but my dad and mom say no. So this time they said yes because since the nexus 7 came out she getting that and giving me her phone. She has a Samsung galaxy s2 for sprint I have Verizon so is my mom can going to have to pay for sprint and Verizon or can I switch the phone over to a Verizon account
BalasHapusI just got a SamSung Galaxy Precedent SCHM-828C from Walmart its a Straight Talk android phone. What is a good bluetooth that is rechargeable, comfortable so I can wear all day and will link with this phone easily.
BalasHapusI have the Samsung galaxy s3 and wanted to watch the hockey game that's on tonight on nhl gamecenter app, but I have sprint so I have shitty service where I am at. Coldstone has wifi, but I am not able to connect without the password. All the android "wifi hack" apps are garbage. Is there an easier way?
BalasHapusi have a Samsung Galaxy Prevail Android Smartphone for boost mobile,i know boost mobile is part of sprint.but can i use my boost mobile phone on the real sprint network?
