    fantastic pricing by Samsung, mind blown :majesty:

     

    Edit: dude it is not the same processor, not the same ram and not the same heat sink, seriously educated people like you should not speak like noobs :doh:

     

    Edit 2: Imagine taking the same logic to compare Windows and Unix/Linux :P

    I think IPL should add 2 more teams and let go off this playoff concept, team which tops the chart wins. This would keep the interest in the Tournament right from the first game.

     

    nah, this format makes it more unpredictable. I always like a final. the day anything can change.

    As we noted in our original hands-on, the S4 comes packed full of "features." There's Air View, which allows you to hover your finger over the screen to see some information without actually clicking. There's Air Gestures, which allows you to wave your hand over the phone to change between tabs or photos. There's Smart Scroll, with which you tilt your device to scroll, instead of using your finger. There's Smart Pause, which will pause a video when you look away from the screen. And there's Group Play, which lets you play a handful of selected video games with friends on the same Wi-Fi network, or use several S4 phones as Sonos-like speakers.

    The most important thing you need to know about these features is that you will never use any of them. Ever. Never ever. The end.

    Why not? Oh, lots of reasons. Air View only works with Samsung's customized apps—not Gmail, not Chrome—and even then it doesn't work very well. Air Gestures are less accurate and less convenient than just touching the screen. Smart Scroll is totally unreliable, and Smart Pause is totally useless. The only, only justification for any of these features is that you can wave your hand over the phone to answer a call while driving, or, again, maybe if you're addicted to buffalo wings and have an aversion to moist towelettes.

    Make no mistake. These "features" are nothing more than gimmicks, case studies in whydifferent doesn't always mean better, and can often be worse.

    My phone is being used by my wife, so i have still not rooted it. But the grey UI can be solved once you root it, there is a mod to turn it to black. I have not done much research on the rooted apps yet as she has the phone and last thing i want to do is to lose some of her data :P Voice clarity is definetly there, but it is a little low as compared to Htc One X. The xloud engine works well but distorts the voice, so it is turned off on my phone. You missed out the biggest plus point the Walkman app, it is the best music app IMO. Also the free songs by Sony app, you have all the latest songs released on Sony Music be it in Indian or Videshi. Total VFM, plus the old collection of songs, i would have downloaded atleast a 1000 songs till now, if not less.

     

    wow I did not know about this, can you please elaborate ?
