Leave him be. He is just pissed that 'plastic toys' sell more than all the other OMG SEXC android devices :lol:

 

Sent from my uber-plastic Galaxy S2 :P

 

 

1. We get it, you hate Sammy's plasticky build quality.

2. Did your phone do something to you, like touch you in a wrong way, that you are lash out at every mention of Samsung?

 

There, I've had my 5 minutes of fun. Back to you.

Man that GSMarena review sold S4 for me. I didn't know that the phone is of almost the same size of S3 despite packing a bigger screen. Damn I am getting S4 next.

 

Ya pretty neat, but i am still confused how did the FOV get lesser on S4.

Drop test, is it design flaw that iPhone 5 usually falls on screen..

Saw the video yesterday on flipboard. Looks like the guy did that on purpose or just randomly iPhone falls on its face every time.

 

The result i think proves that both the phones are similar in toughness and the screens will break on direct impact.

I dont care about FOV or even camera for that matter. Only time I use the camera of my phone is when I need to post screenshots in What you bought this week topic. :P

 

Go for it, screen is being said as the best screen on any smartphone till date. Hopefully Samsung prices it right, but knowing Samsung they will. I am expecting it to be priced at 38,990

Yup it's out and it works pretty well. You can download upto 30 mb of maps I guess. I've downloaded the entire map of bangalore and chennai separately. But you can't download bigger maps.

 

Once you've downloaded the map, you can use it for navigation.

 

does it work the same way as it does with a data connection, like actually show which road to take etc.

But the biggest problem for me is the UI. I just hate the icons, buttons and overall design of TW UI and apps. The messaging, phone apps look like sh*t. Those huge fonts, square edges, overly bright colors, I just hate them. And switching to custom ROM will mean missing loads of unique features.

 

Also, the review was of the US version I9505. We are not yet sure about I9500 battery life and performance. Big-Little architecture's real life performance should be interesting.

Benchmarks are out and octa is the fastest.

Yup, it's something that looks pretty great on paper but the real world test begins now and can go either way. For first iteration, I'm not expecting too much out of it.
