What features?

  - Watch videos in an overlay while multitasking - Smart Stay - NFC - Attaching files to an email that aren't "Apple approved" formats - Access to the filesystem - Countless mix and match wireless transfer and sync features

    What is smart stay? What is the use in reality for NFC beyond those smart ads on train stations? Honest questions no trolling

      Smart Stay is a Touchwiz feature that detects whether or not you are looking at the screen, and does not switch it off. The NFC feature is pretty subjective. If one lives in a part of the world where other sectors have not made use of the technology, then it's quite useless in that case. Similar example - 4G LTE is practically useless for most South Asian, African and South American countries. In fact, I'm fairly sure there are places in the west without 4G LTE connectivity as well.

  Last Monday, I was with a friend and received an important email: had to send a few PDFs to a contact that were contained in a ZIP file. He was amazed that I could do that easily with my android phones, unzip, share the files through gmail and send everything to my contact. Since then, he does not want an iPhone anymore. I did the transition myself 2 years ago, and I have never looked back. What you loose in UX/Eye Candy (even if Android is doing better now), you win in freedom.

    …you can do all of that on an iPhone.

      How can you extract a ZIP on an iPhone and send the multiple files it contains (filtering some of them) by email in one shot? PS: it is a genuine question, I don't see how to do it from my experience.

        You use an app, of course: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/izip-zip-unzip-unrar-tool/id413971331?mt=8 http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/izip-zip-unzip-unrar-tool/id4...

    Bizarre example, as that workflow's been fine on an iPhone since before Samsung had Android phones.
