    Hope Samsung sees this, my Note3 is SIM free and is still full of bloat, and very few chances to remove it.

        Just do what Apple do and don't install any bloatware at all. Why cannot Android manufactures understand that? No huge logo or carrier brand either.

          Better contrast and/or contrast can actually create greater difference than that but then again it would cost the manufacturer immensely, so -yeah- better be throwing higher resolutions...

            And it's rather stupid to go and assume things for no reason

            My laptop is 720p and it's awesome all the pictures, textures and documents

            All of them are just fine

            So why the heck would i need a Full HD display on my 5" phone! Really why?

            To give you an example on why Not! please go check LG G Flex screen (720p @ 6") and don't forget to check the battery test for that phone

              AnonD-209094, 26 Jul 2014Why dont you buy reading glasses and enjoy the FHD goodness... moreActually no
              My eyes are so good that i don't "need" FHD that's why no it's not the worth for me for i did compare with a GS 3 (720p) and really i didn't feel the differences that amused me

Its well worth the extra battery drain once you can see it. First step is to admit your eyes are bad (or that youre old), its not like you are tied to a wheelchair, reading glasses can help almost everyone who has a fovea of ok condition. If its easy to fix then why would anyone chose not to?

                    Just get iPhone/iPad, problem solved. Still it is a paradox that Apple seem to be testing out the Android strategy with useless features and some bloat now when people are getting sick and tired of it, it has peaked and Apple is just coming abord.

                    How can we say it has peaked? Well, some reviewers already stated that socalled helpful and "innovative" features in LG G3 is actually making it harder to use, and thats not the worst case, nowhere is this more visible than with Huawei, spend some time with a an Ascend P7 and try to enjoy the feeling of features blocking you from using the phone efficiently, instead of having features work for you you'll find them fighting you.

                    If Apple start including iHealth or whatever software as preinstalled bloat then i will reverse my view on iOS nad its cleanliness, especially if they will force me to download iHealth or something other retarded to the iPad as part of the next OS upgrade, if i wanted garbage we would just have kept the Samsung tablet, i hope Apple is smart enough to see that bloat is out.

                      This feature + Resolution changer
                      Is needed in most android phones
                      Whsy do you think people?
                      I'd love to use my Galaxy S4 on 720p with less bloatware and so much battery
