I'm running with the s3 as well. Upgraded from the iPhone 4. Had an iPhone since Generation 1 before switching. I won't go back. The iPhone is too small and I love the versatility of the S3 and of Android.

The iPhone does feel tiny when I pick one up now. But that is just me.

Maybe I will rock the new Note. Ginormo phone!

My phone is an old brick. I think I might try living without a mobile for a month, see how it goes.

I was thinking about buying the new Samsung galaxy S5. But not sure if it's any better then S4.

If so, what's the difference? And is it good? And is it worth the money?

From the Galaxy S4 to the S5, you'll see a number of changes. The S5 is slightly larger and a little heavier. the screen is .1" larger, which is negligible to most people.

It will also come equipped with a heart rate monitor, fingerprint scanner, and IP67 certification. IP67 is basically a rating that says a device will be better against the elements. I still wouldn't drop it in a bucket of water. Also, the micro USB port is being equipped with a USB 3.0 interface. Whereas the S4 had a 13 megapixel camera, the S5 is being upped to 16. Not a crazy difference, but the S5 also improves camera focusing and can record 4K resolution video.

Straight up processor and GPU upgrades, going to the Snapdragon 801 CPU and the Adreno 330 GPU. In laymen's terms: Faster, faster, faster. But they're still both using pretty much the same system overall. So how much it can take advantage of the much quicker processor and architecture remains to be seen.

Whether the S5 is worth the money difference is up to you. The new features may add some interesting capabilities, especially if you're planning on investing in a Galaxy Gear, but if you're looking for a quick and still modern phone, the S4 will do just fine.

    • jelly3384's application for Enlistment Form Questions Name you wish to use and Age: (Our unit uses realistic names, this does not have to be your real name) Pigeon, 16 Platform Type Epic Games Store Steam ID (Use 17 Digit SteamID 64 / PC Game Pass Account Username): Pigeon_theft   Do you have a microphone? Yes   Which game title are you applying for? Hell Let Loose   If you've selected Hell Let Loose, do you understand that this game is currently not cross platform capable and only PC players currently may apply? ( Steam or PC Game Pass) Yes   Why do you wish to join the 1st Marine Raiders? I've played BFV and milsimed in it, and it was a lot more fun when I milsimed. and I enjoy playing HLL, so I think it is going to be more fun when I join.   Did any of our current members play a part in you enlisting? If so, who? If none, how did you learn about us: I found you guys from a website called disboard when looking for HLL milsim groups to join.   This unit offers more than just a place to play games with each other, do you have any online skills you think would be useful? no   Do you have any Leadership experience that you think will be helpful? I'm not sure if it will be helpfull,but I used to be in BFV milsim groups and in my last one I got to [E-7] out of [E-1] to [O-8], so I was a NCO and I helped the officers with whatever they needed doing, weather it was assisting with training, settling disputes or helping them decide what was appropriate disciplinary action. And when we were in combat I was usually assigned to lead my own squad.   Have you ever been in a realism unit before, and if so, which unit was it? yes. I was in quite a few BFV milsim groups, although I was only in one at any given time. unfortunately, I have left the discord servers and I do not remember the names of them. if you would like, I could probably give a reference to someone who was an officer in most of the groups I was in.   By posting this Enlistment form, I acknowledge the instructions completely, declare that I am 16 years old or older, and agree that I have and will follow server and unit rules maturely and respectfully or face immediate rejection.
