If you are looking to purchase the 32 GB model, there's no doubt are concerned about the issues with storage space on the 16GB model. Rest assured, out-of the box, this model has 23GB free. It is worth the money.
While others have written volumes about this device and its specs, here are the main things I have noted. I previously had a Galaxy S3.
There is no lag on this phone. It seems to be just as optimized as the Galaxy S3. That said, it doesn't seem to be any faster. I think we are hitting the ceiling on what fast performance feels like in the Samsung Touchwiz UI. While there are plenty of videos on the web telling you how to enable developer options (for some reason they are hidden initially), and to disable the animation settings, these changes not needed. Don't worry about lag, especially if you are upgrading from an S3. If you are interested, Quadrant scores are double that of the S3. While Quadrant scores vary from run to run, you can expect something in the 12000 range.
I do not like the new tabbed Settings. I am used to the single screen and scrolling to find the options I need. Now things such as Applications are in the More tab. Why? It really seems to be an issue of it just didn't fall into the other categories. If the categories don't make sense, why have them?
The body of the phone is is streamlined when compared to the S3. It feels better in the hand and is "relatively" the same size body with a larger screen. Battery life, (after one day of use) is great. One day is obviously not much of a sampling, but I can say I am happy with it for my use (emails, web browsing, photos, some apps weather, news, stocks, etc).
I find it more difficult to remove the battery door because of the side placement of the fingernail slot. It was better on the S3 on the top of the phone.
Other than those minor things, this s a great phone. It is a great upgrade. This particular model has no storage concerns.
