Gautam Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 Guys, need a phone reco for an uncle. Not too technical but he wants to try apps and its his first foray into smartphones. Looking for a decent android phone in the ~Rs. 15,000 or less range. Doesn't need any phone with a huge screen. Does it have to be from India? Otherwise why not get him a Nexus 4?

avkash Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 And won't the downscaled version of 4K video on a 1080P screen look gorgeous?? why don't you play 1080p movies on SD TV ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anshul Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 4k video would take up too much space tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ram Dante Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 why don't you play 1080p movies on SD TV ? A lot and ttbh, I always thought they looked sharper than regular SD content. I've noticed this especially when watching football matches on ESPNHD/ESPN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NitroNeo Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 bhai, the picture will be compressed, it would look worse, over oversharpened Not necessarily, when i compared 4k video samples of a video with it's 1080p & 720p counterparts on my 1366x768 [18.5 inch] max res monitor, i found that 4k > 1080p > 720p, a friend was with me & he said he felt the same, 4K felt sharp & detailed so i am guessing on a 1080p monitor it would have been great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egg man Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 Guys guys.. One of my friend is coming from U.S.A. I am planning to get a google edition phone. Now here are few of my queries 1) Should I get an S4 Google edition (better cam, easy rooting) or HTC One (beautiful design) ?2) I do not have much idea about network bandwidth and all, but will they work on Indian network?(3g) . 3) How hard it is to root them comparatively ? I think S4 would have the same Odin stuff . Which I am comfortable with . 4) Are there Custom roms for both, which are a mixture of both ? For example If I want the Camera app to be stock one(Touchwiz or Sense), rest of them google edition one, will such thing be possible?

AtheK Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 1. Both are equally good. 2. 3G will work, LTE won't. 3. Pretty easy with HTC one also, detailed steps are on there site, you can read it to get the understanding. Odin is pretty straight forward too. 4. Plenty of Roms, with S4 and One you can have modaco switch, so you can have both Rom Sense/Touchwiz and Google at same time, and switch on the fly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtheK Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 So is it just the software that is the reason for diff benchmark scores for G2, Z1, Ultra and N3 or is it that samsung increases the clocks of the proc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
