Why everyone is bashing the S4 screen?

[pappy53]

The whole iOS vs. Android thing is ludicrous. When you break it down, people are nerd-raging over electronic devices (silly, isn't it?). Based on my observations over the past few years, the bashers are present on both sides.

Absolutely!

No problem. If you have any other random questions let me know Lol I had iPhones for a long time before making the switch.

Me too. I recently tried an iPhone 5 but I just couldn't do it. Nice display quality and keyboard but I felt like a I was in jail.

Anyone who tells you that the s4 screen is "bad" is a complete moron.

No, it means they don't share your opinion... no need to call people with different preferences "morons".

Ok yesterday I compared my friend's S4 with my One,at max brightness the S4 looks like lacking about 30% brightness compared to the One bright screen!
Though when using the free app called ''Lux Lite'' in Google Play https://forums.androidcentral.com/e...=com.vitocassisi.luxlite&hl=fr&token=deVBbXmA his screen was much brighter and the difference between both screen was just about 5%.
I don't though about impact on battery life and screen burn-in...

Yeah, there's so many different things you can do with S4...its like an Swiss Army knife with incredibly sharp blades. I don't always use the tweezers but I definitely use the cork screw.

I love how I can send a photo from my phone to my Samsung TV wirelessly. When my wife is watching TV with her friends I interrupt her viewing with a silly photo of her while I'm in the bedroom and they're in the basement. I always get a hoot outta that.

Hahaha that's an awesome use for that feature

You need a 2013 smart TV for that feature don't you? Or have some adapter (although your case it's wireless, so I'm just guessing the former..?).

I thought it would just work with Samsung TVs too, but found by accident that I can share photos to my Panasonic Viera (which has a wireless connection to my wireless router) from the stock gallery app.

Works with sony as well.

Now if I could stream movies wirelessly in HD with full surround to my TV, well, that'd be sliq.

I used to be able to do that with my Epic 4G to my PS3! I now do it with my S3 to my WD Live TV player. Its all hooked up to my HT system...

It will be able to push pictures and music you have on your phone to any device with DLNA. I'm not sure about video, but I know it works with the Roku app. If you want to mirror your phone's screen, no matter what is on it, to your TV you need a Samsung Smart TV or their set top box.

All in all, what I tell my customers at Sams Club when they ask what is the TV with the best picture..."Go with what looks good to you, because that TV is the one you will have in your house when you buy it, its something that you will eventually be living with...I can't tell you what is the best because my personal opinion might not match yours (and it usually doesn't)." You bought YOUR phone for a reason, you live with that one, not mine...just do what you do, and don't worry about what I'm using

This is a good and honest approach. Some people do need, and will appreciate more specific guidance. If someone at the office asks me what is the best Android phone for them I think it'd be most helpful for me to ask them somethings about their preferences, priorities, budget, and how they'd use the device. Based on that their responses I'd make a recommendation. Phones are becoming (have become?) very personal extensions of ourselves, becoming more and more our premier tools. Recommending the right one may mean knowing something about the owner's needs/wants.

Though the HTC One, Moto X, G2, and S4 may be the best phones out and about right this moment which of those, if any, would be the best for someone who wants a basic smartphone experience with as little up-front out-of-pocket expenditure could lead to further discussion. It might be none of the above if the HTC One Mini is available for $5 on contract and screen size doesn't matter.

For what it's worth (may not be much), I found that I can stream YouTube from the phone to my father-in-law's Samsung Smart TV.
