Andre - one piece of advise to you. You can ignore it if you wish
Your unhappiness with Samsung , you have mentioned it many times already and I noted you have post it too in other threads too
You have make your point known ; let it be. No need to keep on reemphasizing it. It is not necessary
I always notice you always want to shoot in your comments whenever you spot a chance to do so. What for ??? For what purpose
Be happy with you have now and let others enjoy their phones, whatever brand it is
No need to justify why you buy brand A instead of B.
And I just read your long essay - but i wish to disagree with you on S3, S4 observation of yours. I never faced those issues that you mentioned
My S4 is excellent - till today NOT a single reboot issue . I find it much smoother than HTC One (( it is slight jerky especially blinkfeeds) but loses out to Xperia Z. Your standard of smoothness is definitely different from mine probably as I remember you did mentioned you are very particular on this.
I also , like you have use a wide variety of phones and honestly I cannot yet say which is the best phone as each has its pro n cons
As long as my needs are met I am willing to accept whatever cons it has
