Hi guys. i'm planning to get new phone to replace my broken galaxy s. i'm concerning about amoled burnin issue that affect gs4 screen. i'm gonna continuously use the phone about 3-4 hrs straight. is this usage will burn amoled screen? how about difference i9500 vs i9505 camera? thanx for ur inputs guys
*
wait, don't buy s4 unless you really want it.

if can wait, wait for s5 or wait till s5 is out, then s4 price will drop.

personally though, i9505 suxs, the end.

play with stock rom=the end.
play with custom rom=different story smile.gif

well, i didn't buy s4 just to install custom rom.

yes custom rom gives you freedom, but s4 itself should be good enough. besides that, pay 2k+ for a phone, root it and risk voiding warranty? not for me.

and custom roms are not without faults as well, i used to install custom roms before on other phones, i would know.

thanx for your reply. btw, money is not my concern. galaxy s5 is better phone i know but i didn't like the design and the size of the s5 so i pinned down to s4. how about screen burn issue that plague amoled screen. did u encounter this problem yet? i'm going to get motog/nexus5 phone if i really care about custom rom. what difference between i9500/05 camera? did it obviously lag to focus on i9505? and the famous battery heating issue?

so far don't really have screen burn issue.

battery heating i think is common, the more you use, the hotter it is. my s4 is super hot when i'm charging it with yoobao and using waze with gps on, but i think it's normal.

camera wise, i really feel i9505 has terrible camera issue. blurry pictures are the main culprit, slow focus and slow picture taking as well, there's an obvious lag compare to htc one. overall, for a normal user, it's very disappointing.
