I dun see the real benefit or added usefulness of a curved display.  hmm.gif  other than the cool factor.  Getting a Full HD display on Note III won't create enough desire for me to upgrade from Note II too.  Hope Samsung can surpass our expectations.  biggrin.gif

Full HD display definitely a plus point... But 1 thing for sure is I wont upgrade to Note 3 jz bcoz of tat HD thingy or curved display as well...

S4 has awesome spec but i haven't seen or heard any "wow" factor yet...

yea … wow factor depends individual I guess….
A phone equipped with 8 cores and 2ghz processor speed does not give me wow… it is just like enhance version of Note 2 LOL… what Im expecting samsung is to come out something that other phones don’t have LOL… something unique and useful like the function of the S-Pen for phablet, smart stay, smart rotation, palm swipe... etc. Outlook wise, plastic or not, ugly or not.. not so important to me haha as long as the specs are WOW.. .and durable to use ok already

Read the top part of the page. This happens when you are trying to link attachments that have characters AFTER the .jpg or .gif extension eg .jpg?2298hhsh.xml or something.

Well, we are at the limit of 32bit ARM. I suppose the best we can get is 3Gb RAM and a faster CPU, then FullHD display.

When 64bit ARM comes out, we should be able to leave our notebooks behind. Even then, with 3Gb RAM and 2GHz CPU, with Ubuntu or some linux, we can already replace our notebooks for some use caes.

So there isn't any really compelling reason for an upgrade since quad core and 2Gb is plenty fast performance. Well of course humanly we always want the latest shiny, so let's see if the spirit or the flesh is stronger hahahaha.

btw all, being TS, and being involved, is hard work. tongue.gif We will soon have a new version coming up, probably by tonight. I will need to sort some stuff out at work, and hopefully by tomorrow we will have the new version up and running.

Thank you for your support and contributions, keep the contributions coming.

Unfortunately, even with 2GHz and 3Gb of RAM, a computer still beats a smartphone completely..
Computer like mine, not top notch, just average, with 8GB of RAM and 3GHz still struggles with playing CRYSIS 3 at ultra settings.. With that said, for me in my opinion, I don't think in the near future smart phones will replace laptops, even more so desktops..

If you want to play Crysis, everything gets brought to its knees. The use case I meant was for stuff like mail checking, MS Office type stuff, and some light gaming of the mobile kind. I mean, you could probably play NFS 12 nicely with the next iteration of Note/Sn with the updated GPU in the next generation, but it should still be 32bit on the CPU side.

Crysis, IINM, is heavily GPU bound as well, and at this point you cannot compare PC-GPUs with mobile GPUs. Please try plugging 6pin PCIE power to your mobile for Crysis.

Editorial from AndroidPolice on the HTC One (M7)

http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/02/19/ed...ild-a-year-ago/

The comments are reasonable and sound, saying that it's not compelling enough.

wanmya my phone is in an otterbox defender, lazy to disassemble the casing. Maybe others with naked phones or easily removable casings can help.

yes, definitely a lot of hard works need to be put in, especially if you are committed to do a good job. Previously we took turns to be TS for the Desire HD thread. Every re-incarnations has new ideas/layouts added - looks very refreshing. biggrin.gif

Thumbs up for the good job, joytest. thumbup.gif

Even Anandtech is chiming in on M7
http://www.anandtech.com/show/6754/hands-o...one-formerly-m7

I'm aware this is N2 forum. Just an extract to understand what does "ultrapixel" mean. From the below, I don't think it really means anything, and it's just a 4MP camera with better low light level performance. But still, as described below, how do you now tell someone 4MP > 13MP ?

Abandoning the Megapixel Race and Shooting for Quality

I’ve buried it a bit, but one of the biggest headlining features of the HTC One is inclusion of a camera system that definitely goes against the prevailing industry smartphone imaging trend, in a very positive way. The trend has been smaller and smaller pixels on a smartphone CMOS for some time now, and as generations have marched on we’ve seen pixel sizes shrink from around 2 microns, to 1.65, to 1.4, to 1.1 which seems poised as the flavor of the year. More of smaller pixels lets an OEM sell a phone with more megapixels, but it’s fairly obvious that beyond 8 MP there’s not much sense in going way higher. In fact, even with the best possible diffraction limited optics operating under the constraints of a smartphone package, it’s impossible to resolve pixels that small. For so long megapixels has been the only figure of merit presented to consumers, and continually increasing that number, at the expense of other things arguably might not make sense. In a world increasingly dominated by photo sharing services which downscale images aggressively instagram (600 x 600) or pic.twitter (1024 x 2048 for the first party image sharing target) or Facebook, does 13 MP make sense?

HTC made camera a big emphasis with the previous One X, S, V, and other One series cameras with the first F/2.0 optical system which was shared across all devices. With the new HTC One has taken a huge risk and gone against the trend by keeping CMOS sensor size the same (1/3"), and moving to bigger 2.0 micron pixels, with the same F/2.0, 28mm (35 mm effective) optical system. The result is a camera that trades resolution we arguably can’t realize to begin with for dramatically better sensitivity in low light and better dynamic range.
