A 5+ inch screen? Phone screen sizes are getting silly.

I agree. Only takes a day or two to get used to if you're coming from an iPhone.

It is the brand new Snapdragon 801 processor.

The phone is garbage- more gimmicky software. I would take Sony's new flagship over this in a heartbeat. Or a 6 month old underpowered Moto X.

Pixel degradation is also much faster on AMOLED. The blues especially.

Yeah, and I think part of the reason color reproduction isn't as good as IPS is intentional. As in, the color could be better, but they supposedly dim/distort them in order to improve the life of the panel. But if the degradation isn't noticeable until year 3 or 4 (or blatantly obvious until 5 or so), I think that's "good enough" considering the lifespan of a phone.
