I love my new Samsung Galaxy S5! I can actually read the screen. I also like watching flash videos on it!
I have an iPad, so it took a little while to get used to my S5.
It’s my first smartphone, but I’m happy with my purchase!
Enjoy it. I'm holding out to replace my Note 2 with a Note 4.
You can watch Flash videos on your iPad, an iPhone, or an iPod touch as well. Chrome, Puffin, Skyfire, Terra browsers will all displays Flash video on iOS devices. They've been doing it for years.
Unfortunately, you cannot share your purchases of books, magazine subscriptions, apps, and files across your iPad and your smartphone because you didn't get an iPhone. . . and entering data on one is not instantly updated on the other. . . and updating mail in all accounts on one, is not updated on the other. . . notes made on one, are not instantly updated on the other. Photos you take on your phone do not instantly appear on your iPad. . . and vice verse. Sad. If you like an app on one, you have to buy it again on the other. . . had you had an iPhone, you would not have to do that. It's buy it once, share on all devices. You cut yourself off from all that interactive shared functionality. I am sorry you listened to some bad advice.
Android is a poor imitation of what the iPhone user interface can do across devices. That is why iOS stands head and shoulders over the others in user satisfaction.
There is a reason why iOS users actually use their devices on the internet. . . iOS dominates mobile devices in internet usage. . . with the iPad at over 90% of tablet internet connection, and iOS itself topping 65% of all mobile internet usage. That reason is that Android is not that easy to use as an internet device.
You must have a long power cable.
