At least some new content. Like anyone cares. . . S4 vs. 5S

Well, about 20 days later and yet, no new information here. Let's change that. (I wonder if anyone reads this. I'll have to check GA metrics.) Anyway. . .

For the past couple of months I have been using two phones. My personal and recently, the office insisted I get a new mobile phone since I support a worldwide team in my efforts as admin of our marketing automation platform. I am not going to get into too many of the specifics, but I still like my personal device better.

My personal phone is a Galaxy S4. The company phone, a 5S. Honestly, I have been trying to stay objective and find the things that are really better on the 5S than on the S4, but I am sorry to say that I just can't justify saying that it is a better device. To me it feels like a toy when I compare it to the S4. Maybe it is because I am used to the S4, because in paper, the 5S kind of sounds like a better device. But to me, it is not.

Both phones can do the job perfectly well. When it comes to the basics, they both meet anyone's needs in my opinion. But when it comes to doing things that are really special, that's when I feel like the S4 is just ages ahead of the 5S. When I first got my S4, I thought a lot of the special features it has were unnecessary bells and whistles, but once you get used to them, it is very hard to let those features go.

Hopefully, it is clear that I am not a crazy fanatic of any brand or any device. But now that I have both phones in my possession, I feel like at least I am not just saying that the S4 is a lot better than the 5S. Now I say it based on my own personal experience using both devices.

Time will only tell if anything from the 5S changes my mind, but I honestly don't think that will happen. I always try to keep an open mind when it comes to meeting my technology needs. I like to get the best of whatever I have so I can do my job better, easier, or more fun. The same goes for play time.

So there you have it. I probably spent 15 or 20 minutes writing this, and if you actually read it, maybe it took you 2 minutes to get to the end. But hey, at least I took out the keyboard for a quick drive on this PTO day.

Let's see what's next. Now I am just going to take my Hayabusa out for a quick ride in this amazing Florida afternoon while most states on the east coast are covered in snow.

Later!
