What do you carry around on your phone?
You do know that SD card I/O is much slower than NAND, right? That's why manufacturer's don't want to leave speed to critic's interpretation
I used to have lots of audio-books and ISO's for which i needed the space. And then ofcourse leave all pics and videos on the device. But since everything gets uploaded to Google Photos i don't worry about the last bit.
Music mostly. I also download training videos to look at later when I am not connected since At&t's connection is meh where I am.
well, there is an inverse relationship to performance wrt how much storage you use on your phone.
I do agree that moving apps isn't worth it to an SD card unless you have those more expensive better class cards.
@aka: touchwhiz would be touchwhiz. I think that S5 might get 6.0 by the end of this year or you could root if you are up to it. This is why if you want the clean iPhone experience with regular updates, you stick to Nexus line as a starter. Of course, iPhone wins out as 4s that came years ago still gets updates unlike any android phone from that time. Nexus might come very close but otherwise, it is a mess with all the malware attacks that happen on the older (and even some newer) Android OSes.
I have not run touchwiz on my phone since Note 2. I bought Nova launcher and have used it since. One of the best ones out there.
I love Nova Launcher. I tried the GO Launcher, but man so much crap that came with it. Only LG's touchwhiz counterpart comes close. I do wonder if touchwhiz stops taking space in RAM / storage if you stop using it. There is no option to disable it in Marshmallow.
Depends on your price point. If you buying it out - S6. If you getting it subsidized then S7 (as long your cost is ~$350ish - not MSRP $900)
Samsung was really good alternative to iPhone because they had all the tools built in right from start into their interface. Back in the day , you had to download lot of apps which you will expect out of the box. If you still don’t want to customize / change things - samsung is still better option (specially for older folks)
Samsung reduced to 12mpx from 16mpx because now it has f1.7 aperature. Meaning its even better in low light, faster focus and 4k works better (I can expalin but this will get too boring)
Sense is awesome, could be better though. Nova!!
For cameras yes, for phones its the size of sensor
Not True
Lollipop then came marshmallow and this year new OS coming with letter N
Lollipop is good , i will suggest upgrade it
There is a way to disable even system apps (without rooting) - You need to connect it to PC. And don’t disable anything thats really needed - you will have to reset the phone
Of course it's true, otherwise people would not be reporting the issue. Samsung Smartphones have a poor battery life history, and it can only change with significant improvements to address that particular area whether on the hardware side or the software/OS.

You could just go to applications and disable it (since kit kat?) but I have deleted the data for the two touchwhiz system apps. Hopefully, that is enough.
