our main issue with the software, not the odd ideas like a dual-panel multitasking interface or other iOS-inspired modifications.

which provides it a very slight advantage in some use scenarios.

In addition, the Galaxy's base model comes with 8GB of RAM and 256 gigabytes of storage,

even a faux-leather finish with a very pleasing texture.
