      AnonD-109271, 19 Mar 2015I am planning to upgrade from s3 and was thinking abt Alpha... more1) Fingerprint sensor works, just use your index fingers (or others) but not your thumb since you have to swipe vertically and straight.

      2) I skip, i haven't used a S3 in 3 years but i guess brightness should be better and colors far more accurate?

      3) It's up to you and your budget.

      4) It heats like most of phones nowadays, although not as much as S3 levels.

      5) Pretty good for 12MP, check samples in the review.

                                    I am getting insane Battery life of 4 Days 1 hour 32 minutes on a single charge (100% to 1%) (with moderate to heavy usage).

                                    Below are the screenshots of the same.
