in the end, normal people just purchase it just for texting and calling that any other cheapo nokia can do and the device will be underutilized.

Wish list To improve overall design shape. The "design for human" s3 was damn fugly. Forget abt panties matrix display already! use proper RGB ! Use better materials instead of cheap feel plastic. Touchwiz colors and appearance like 80s cartoon! Make it look modern and nice like HTC sense for example.

Octa-core is too over-powered for a phone IMHO and I'm not saying this because I got a N4. What they can do is to tweak the hardware abit here and there to fully maximize its quadcore proc potential like how they do in computers

Read this. If want more power, then get a Snapdragon 600 or 800 phone. This post has been edited by Cranky guy: Feb 19 2013, 12:37 PM

Quad-core 2 GHz Cortex-A15 is delicious. I hope it will be water proof as well.
