Yeah but 13 to 8 megs if the image processing is good then you can hardly notice. Remember it's not all about the MP

Awesome! Trust Samsung to fix their own mess up whilest also fixing Google's one. Personally, I will not need Apps to SD, as my GS4 32GB still has just over 17GB of internal space left despite all the apps, HD games and other stuff sitting in it, but this is a welcomed feature I'm looking forward to this update.

One thing I cant get my head round about when people are continually trying out new custom software, how do you go about installing apps ? surely it gets annoying constantly reinstalling apps and restoring settings.
I don't know about you guys, but once ive had my phone for a while it takes hours or days to get all my apps installed again and the phone setup how I like it.
If you root, then it's very easy, Titanium backup can restore all your apps including settings in matter of minutes...
and if you're just reverting to the exact same software you're using then a recovery backup is faster...
When I want to test new mod. or ROM I just backup.. test the new ROM or the mod. and if something went wrong or I didn't like it.. just restore the backup.. every thing is back in 3 - 4 minutes !!
but if you're referring to switching between ROM's or installing a new stock ROM from scratch, then Titanium backup can handle all the apps things as far as you're rooted...

Etaab that's one reason why I like my iphone
Backup to the cloud restore, all ur apps are there and other content
Is there 
One thing that's abit annoying with iCloud however is you
Only get 5GB storage and u have to pay extra for more really
Does suck, apple need to give us 10gb free maximum
Android need to come up with similar thing I think
It would make life easier for some of you
Tsepz please borrow those gloves and test it
None of us will laugh at u wearing them in the meantime
It's already coming to Android with Google cloud it's now possible to use the cloud to backup apps data, however; it's just new and apps developers will need to implement it in their apps first... and they're giving you a shared 15GB of storage also
but as what Hobbs already mentioned... If you're rooted then you can have multiple ways of doing a backup from single apps backup like using Titanium Backup... or to backing up the whole ROM using a recovery backup... you can any time do a recovery backup, install and test any ROM that is available on the net ( or a ROM you created ), and when you finish with testing... restore your backup and every thing will be back exactly like before.. like you didn't actually changed any thing... the only thing that will change is time and maybe signal strength 
Android might be worthwhile then
However The highlight on my iPhone is having
Podcasts, anything on android yet?! Lol
Etaab. iOS isnt that bad just needs a small facelift lol

Super AMOLED doesn't have colour accuracy. I think their either biased or colour blind. Even the AMOLED screen on the Lumia 820 is way off accurate and too strong.

I hear the update frees up some memory. About 200mb though so not much.

Theres themes on the Playstore which bring similar effects. Apple haven't much of a USP with such a UI novelty.

Very happy with the XXUAMDK update so far, the phone is a lot more responsive I must say, battery life seems to have received a tad bit of a boost to.
WRT to memory, not a big deal for me, I've still got 16GB of mem remaining internally, plus, there is the MEA Update with Apps-to-SD amongst other new features that is rolling out so it's all good.
EDIT:
Almost forgot to mention, the phone seems to use less RAM than in XXUAMDE, not that RAM is ever a problem in the S4, but I've noticed a lot more available RAM in the task manager each time I remember to check.
