I am not a big fan of TouchWiz, and that has been my main factor against Samsung, but now with the signs of a new user interface, maybe it is time for me to get myself a Samsung device.

Just the other day, the device landed onto my hands and from the experience I had unboxing it, I can tell this is going to be one interesting review.

One major problem I face when switching from one phone to the other, is I sometimes loose my photos as some are left on the previous device as I move everything else to the new device. Even buying a second SD Card has proven not to solve this problem fully and I had to turn to a method that I previously did not like that much. Storing my photos online, ok, get this, I had no problem with my photos being online,…
