1. Expandable storage - Yes, the phone only comes with 16GB of internal storage. I use a 32GB card and have no space problems with all of my favorite apps installed. Almost all apps that I've downloaded can be moved to the card. I also use it to store photos and videos. All of my music is stored in Google's Play Music cloud.
2. Removable battery - This is a unique feature now that I find helpful. It's worth it to buy a back up battery that you keep charged for times when you don't have access to a charger or an outlet. This is especially useful for long trips. I've found that with moderate use the battery lasts about a day and a half after a full charge.
3. Disabling apps - Android phones notoriously come loaded up with software, both from the manufacturer and the carrier. Between Samsung and Verizon there are probably a dozen apps that I don't need. Samsung has a feature that allows you to disable apps you don't use. Although it doesn't remove the app from the phone, it removes it from the app drawer and prevents it from running in the background. Out of sight, out of mind for me.
4. Fingerprint scanner/heart rate monitor - Okay, these are definitely more on the gimmick side of things and not phone essentials. However, when used correctly both can be useful. I do high intensity interval training and heart rate is a major part of that. I have a Polar heart rate monitor that I use, and I found that the phone is incredibly accurate for measuring BPM by comparing results from the two. There is a companion app called S-health that allows you to keep track of diet and exercise. In an increasingly health conscious world I find that very helpful. The fingerprint scanner is a good layer of security, but make no mistake, if someone is determined to get in your phone they will find a way. It's more of a safeguard just like having a password would be.
5. Vibrant launcher (Touchwiz) with lots of customization - Having owned a few Androids the one thing that always bothered me was the "coldness" of the launchers they typically come with. This phone is very colorful and that makes my eyes happy. It's evident that Samsung put a lot of thought into the design of this phone from a software perspective. If you prefer the simplicity of pure Android you'll want to install a custom launcher (there are quite a few awesome ones for free in the Play store) or root the phone.
6. It's made of plastic - I immediately put a case on my phone so I honestly don't care what it's made out of. The hardware in this phone far outweighs the material the back cover is made from. However, if aesthetics are a huge concern for you it may not be to your tastes.
7. Battery saver - This phone has a couple power saving options. One of these options converts the phone to gray scale and severely limits the amount of processes running to prolong the battery life for days. This is a great feature for people who need their phone on, but don't want to waste battery juice when charging won't be an option for a long time.
8. Easy mode/blocking mode/private mode - Each one does vastly different things, and it speaks to the fact that Samsung is appealing to all types of users. Easy mode for people who don't want their smartphone to be TOO smart, blocking mode for turning off pesky notifications during certain times (e.g., turn off phone ringing between certain hours except for certain contacts), and private mode for securing your phone just a bit more. None of these options are on by default so if you don't want to use them, you don't have to. I really like that Samsung baked these features into the phone without making them intrusive. These aren't apps, they are settings.
Those are just some of the obvious ways the phone stands out to me. I'll quickly run down a list of things that this phone has that other reviewers love as well: great camera, good battery life, big screen, fast processor, user friendly, good call quality (if anyone is actually concerned about that anymore).
If you're already an Android user, this phone will not disappoint. If you're an Apple user thinking about making the switch I suggest you read the return policy (I believe Verizon gives you 15 days). It may not suit your tastes because it is a completely different operating system with a learning curve. I prefer complexity with my phones, but there's a reason iPhones are so popular - a lot of people want a phone they don't have to fiddle with at all.
I have 3 phones on my plan and I used the shared upgrade option to early upgrade on my line. I called AT&T beforehand to let them know that's what I wanted to do and the rep left a note on my account. When I received the phone, I called to activate it and the rep who got me at first did not understand what I was saying and she self-confessed that she didn't even check the notes.
I had to call back, not using my line I wanted to upgrade and I think I got my same original rep and we were able to complete the line upgrade with no problem.
The phone comes with a new sim, they need the numbers from that and also in the back of the phone. Oh the initial startup wants to connect to your google account, but you gotta connect to your wifi first, so many screens in the beginning just to get to a point to make a call. My rep stayed on the line to make sure the new phone was connected to the network. And then it was all me doing the switch over from my old phone to this one with the app called Smart Switch Mobile installed on both phones. I'm not sure how long it took, I left the phones to do their business and watched a movie. By the time the movie was finished, all my apps, contacts, photos, and stuff had been transferred over and both phones were resting peacefully in sleep mode.
As for the phone itself, oh wow, wonderful. So responsive! I came from a Samsung Galaxy S3 which was taking forever to open and close screens and even when I was swype texting it would pause and delay. But this beauty! wow. Some of my coworkers have this phone and it looks so much bigger and bulkier in their hands.. probably because of the cases they are using. To me this phone is a slim upgrade from my old one - a lil taller and a lil wider (as shown in picture). But the colors are crisper, clearer and just the overall responsiveness is much improved.
I feel a little bad, my phone case (s-view wireless case and charger) cost more than I paid for this phone. Also, just buy this phone in contract rather than using the next plan. I'd rather pay $40 for the next 24 months ($960) than pay $50 ($25 + installment amount) for the next 20 months ($1000).
There are YouTube reviews on this phone that talk about all the features and optimizations you can do. Watch a few of those while you wait for the phone to be delivered and then you'll be ready to take advantage of a modern phone. If you've had other galaxy phones, you already know some of the tips and features. Oh but, the left menu button that was for properties has been replaced with recent apps and long pressing on the home button takes you into S-Voice mode (unless you disable it - please do if you don't use S-Voice). Also S-memo is replaced by S-note (even my old memo notes transferred!)
I use the fingerprint scanner to unlock my phone, it can store up to three fingerprints that you can name for easy reference. Make sure you scan your finger in the way you are likely to be holding the phone most often. I've had the phone for about a week and I have trouble sometimes making sure I swipe-scan my finger over the sensor correctly; I'm sure over time I'll be a pro at it. When scanned correctly it does recognize my fingerprint.
My biggest surprise was the charging bay door and the extra thick cable for charging. It's a USB 3.0 cable so it does both data transfer and charging. The door though, yikes... trying to open it in low light conditions when I'm tired is frustrating and I am fearful I will break the door. I'm switching to wireless charging instead. The phone can still be charged by a regular micro USB cable connect it to a power adapter; I have tried both the regular micro USB and the super-size USB 3.0 cable connected to a computer and the charging is painfully slow. But this phone has great battery life (compared to my s3), so I really only charge it at night for a few hours and then leave if off charge even over night while I sleep.
I'm trying to get my cousin to upgrade her s2 to this phone; for the price this is a wonderful deal on a smartphone that's a market competitor for other top of the line smartphones out there. Yes there is bloat with the Samsung apps, but I think of it as another layer of protection that I can use to back-up my apps and data and find my phone in addition to the AT&T and Google offerings.
Good luck, enjoy the phone!
