Now that Samsung have unveiled their flagship phone, a lot of folks would start looking for cash, making savings and getting ready to replace their Android phone as soon as Samsung Galaxy S5 becomes available for purchase in April 11th. However, would the extra cash needed to be spent on the S5 totally worth it especially if you are currently using a Samsung Galaxy S4? Find out below.

 

The S5 is a great device; with fingerprint scanner, heart monitor and other forms of "effizy" that was packed into the device but not so many a people would to some extent require all the overkill in the new device which will be commensurate to the price of the device. Therefore, its important to quickly give a brief comparison of the New Samsung S5 and the old S4 which the guys over at Redmondpie put together.

From the table above, it should be easy for anyone to decide whether they would be upgrading their Samsung S4 to S5 or not. 

The S5 is not due for sale till April 11th so there is plenty of time to think, make plans and even do some more comparison with other high end devices like HTC M8 that would be unveiled by March before finally deciding to get the all new Samsung Galaxy S5.

A Korean publication ran by former Samsung employee is reporting that the company has held meetings so as the next Galaxy S5 flagship edition be brought forward.

In fact, Naver cites insiders who claim that the Galaxy S5 would be teased as early as January 2014, and be announced the next month, in February. That coincides with the MWC expo, and it doesnt seem far fetched that Samsung is going to unveil something major around those dates. The rush is apparently due to sagging sales of the Galaxy S4, the sources claim, and Samsung has decided to shorten the life cycle to 9 months instead of the usual eleven or so, and this reason we heard mentioned by another Korean publication just two days ago.

Theres never been so much competition to the previously unchallenged Galaxy line flagships as this year, and apparently Samsung has decided to strike back earlier than anybody else. To show that they mean business, the insiders claim, Samsung is ready to equip the Galaxy S5 with a 64-bit Exynos processor, 16 MP camera with optical image stabilization, fingerprint scanner, and the speculated Design 3.0 phase metallic chassis.

All of these weve heard already to be announced or in the works by the company, including the gamechanging (for Samsung) chassis made of metal, so the unknowns are how it will all be put together in a design that is different than anything shown by Sammy so far. Weve no qualms about the top-shelf 2014 specs, just very curious about the final decisions of the so far fairly orthodox Samsung design team. PhoneArena

It was never an intention to update my firmware. I am completely satisfied with the stable performance of the Gingerbread (Android 2.3.6) on the Samsung Galaxy S2 on stock ROM.

But after positive feedback from peers, I bit the bullet.

And was I glad Samsung made it simpler.

All I did was to plug the phone to the computer, run Kies, who detects a new firmware, spent a lengthy time to download the firmware (depending on your network connection), then another short duration to upload the firmware onto the phone, and finally the bootup sequence where Samsung will optimise your existing apps with the new firmware.

When its all done, you have a Galaxy S2 running on ICS, with all your apps intact, save the homescreen launcher which is reset to default, so you have to set all the apps shortcut and widgets all over again - unless you are using third party launchers, for which you could backup and restore.

Tip: capture screenshots of your old stock launcher so that you can re-create them again after the firmware upgrade.

What has changed:

ICS improvements. You get the same enhanced apps and features as all the ICS-enabled phones. Like Gmail, Browser, swipe-to-remove notification, long-press home button for recent apps list.

ICS constraints. You also inherit the limitations. For instance, ringtone and notification volume cannot be independently adjusted.

Screen capture shortcut keys. Instead of the "home + power" button combi, you have to use the "volume-down + power" combi, and you have to hold it a little longer

Phone app. The contacts shortcut tab is gone. To access contacts from phone app, you have to open the menu.

Notification icons. They are now larger, and Whatsapp notification icon is in white, not in green anymore.

Restart phone option. You have option to restart phone when long-press the power button.

Camera. I feel there is slightly longer lag when I press the shutter.

Resume phone from standby. When I press the home button or power button, I feel there is slightly longer lag than previous.

Apps compatibility. Beware that some apps might not work optimally on the new ICS version, although occurrence is rare.

Overall phone performance. No remarkably improvement in speed, but no apparent lags either.

Update Firmware: Yes!
Ice Cream Sandwich is safe to update on your Samsung Galaxy S2. The update via Kies is painless and does not delete your apps nor reset any functions (except homescreen launcher shortcuts and widgets). All you need is about an hour of your time to download the firmware, execute the firmware upload, and apps optimisation process. Go for it!
