          he's right. Gpe os is better becaue it still includes some proprietary drivers to make your camera better. 3rd party rom usualy lacks proprietary drivers to do that, because the developers replace them with lower quality opensource drivers.

                    I can't believe that the Galaxy Alpha... a phone that Samsung charged Flagship prices for still hasn't received the Lollipop Update nearly a year on .

                            GPE phones, on the other hand, will still have camera quality that is beyond average.

                                  ithehappy, 11 Sep 2015Yeah, software was garbage. Learn to use past tense, and when to stop.hahaha. Samsung handsets are the laggiest handsets on the planet. Were garbage and still are. I use an S5 currently and its the worst high end smartphone I've ever used. Have used HTC and Sony before this, were miles ahead in speed.
