Per my conjecture yesterday:
https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=58970448

I suppose those phones that have "design" as one of the key selling points of the device seems to attract irrational atachment. It seems once the word "premium design" or "sexy design" is part of the marketing, you probably start having irrational fanboyism.

I recall LG liked to market the heck out of every teensy weensy insignificant feature about 5+ years ago ... pink phone for ladies with all the floral stuff, the twistable camera so you can take shots of yourself and they used a pair of tango dancers for that ad....

Samsung has never been much about design but functionality.

I am not defending Samsung but saying that some here value functionality over aesthetics, while others are the opposite. I am also offering my 2 cents about why some threads attract more fanboyism than others. I may be wrong and welcome correction.

And ultimately, you have the constraint of your 4.x" or 5.x" or 6.x" slab of glass as the centerpiece. Even women's powder boxes (the ones with multiple colored powders and a rectangular mirror) are all THE SAME SHAPE, they only tend to differ on the logo on top and color of the cover. The base is usually gold or silver PLASTIC. whistling.gif

As i said,they will do just fine with S4 but they got to listen to others too if they dont want to end up like apple. As i said earlier on my post, Samsung is still way ahead in terms of their technology and software building. And S2 was doing great because of its design and functionality. icon_rolleyes.gif

I agree that functionality is important. However, it's quite unacceptable for me to pay PREMIUM PRICE for a supposed PREMIUM phone and having to compromise on ANYTHING at all. Cause if it's a cheaper and not a flagship phone, we'd normally say "I guess I'm OK with some of the things missing or not really top notch quality since it's a cheaper phone (or not their top of the line product)"

I just don't feel we should be given anything lesser when we pay top dollar for anything. Not just samsung but all other brands. We pay 2k+ for the phone. I expect the best out of everything the market has available for me right now.

well, that's my 2 cents.

Agreed.. The design is a huge let down. I am thinking either I am going for s4 or htc one but my heart keep pushing me to get htc one. S3 was successful bcos the day it was launched, there was only one serious competitor and it was htc one x. And htc one x back camera design is Horrible and to add with bad battery life, no sd and non removeable battery...Now S4 is not the only one with huge full hd screen and thin body.  I think that Samsung doesn't work really hard enough on their S4. But whatever it is, this is Samsung.just like iPhone they are an established company. I think s4 will still sell very well but they need to do much better than this for the note3 and even s5 if they don't want to loose their customers.  cheers.gif

my phone SDS yesterday morning (phone hangs n after replace battery cannot boot past galaxy white logo)..only can enter download mode but fail to install stock rom via odin..after a lil bit googling n trying i still cant pass the logo..so without hesitate I send to SC PJ cause still under warranty..

at night sammy technician call me n said have to change mobo..bcoz im rooted they must charge for the repair for almost rm700..then said got discount 30% become rm500..im shocked but he recommend me to take it to other SC (1U or usj) for repair said there is a chance they will not charge there..

so now i need confirmation hav anybody got tru dis? i dont want waste my time go everywhere but also got same result have to pay huge amount..

(suggest to add SDS info to the front page..it is common to s3 user nowadays)
*
Does the phone have red exclamation mark on top left after booting?
If don't have, then how do they know your phone is rooted? If really a half-dead SDS, it will always show status custom so should argue on that...

If you don't know what it looks like search on http://images.google.com with "red exclamation mark galaxy s3"

gbx very interested to know how SC knows that your phone is rooted...
