Coming from the S4 a faster and better quality camera is really needed. My phone has become my primary camera and improvements in camera speed and photo quality are really important to me. The larger battery, S-Pen, and more processing power are also great features. The removal of the IR blaster is a real disappointment! Using your phone as a remote is one of the most convenient features. I think alot people don't understand the convenience or are intimidated by the setup process and thus are not using the feature.
