Budget 15-20K Is Galaxy S4 @ 18k. Is it worth buying now?

[Jose.Palai]

Galaxy S4 is available @ 18k in amazon now

Is it the same Galaxy S4 which sold at 40k? Will I get the same quality?

Galaxy S4 a 2 years old model. Is it an outdated phone? Do you think it is a worth buy? Can I go for it?

The huge difference in price is unbelievable. Is there any kind of trap or something? Pls help.

uh...OK. -.-"
anyway what about the bloatwares? and actual RAM availability for use?

Root it and freeze all the samsung apps you are not going to use and the available RAM is somewhere near 1GB out of total 2GB RAM, I rooted my S4 the first day of the purchase

After clearing memory in ram manager, .897 mb is in use of the available 1.82 mb

I9500 cannot be rooted without tripping Knox .

You sure about that? I saw on XDA that Exynos models can be rooted without tripping Knox, but SD models can't. Not sure though, never did give a **** about Knox.

I9505 is SD and can be rooted without tripping Knox .

only 1GB? Just how many apps does it come with. I thought that, including the OS and the essential apps and softwares, there would be some 1.5/2GB (after rooting and everything). hmm..
what about the 1+1? 1.5/3GB? and how heavy/ light is the new CM?
I plan to buy one of them this month. Perhaps i should just buy 1+1 and if i don't like it then i should just sell it or exchange it with the S4. decision decision...ugh.

PS: I don't simply upgrade phones every time so I'm a bit picky. don't mind.

There can't be any comparison between Oranges and Apples, well.
