but aluminium and glass really does give significant feel of classy to the product.. i hope some day samsung will make more classy and elegant shell for their flagship

You see at XperiaZ thread and you'll find many user scramble looking for casing to protect their valuable glass. The same will happen for this coming HTC One phone.
In the end it doesn't matter if your phone use glass..aluminum or plastic as it will all looks the same once you slap a casing over it. Unless you're a rare few that use a totally naked phone.

plastic also can be classy.. it's just the design that made it look cheap.
with classy design.. ppl will use bumper instead of full casing..

QUOTE(Hianz @ Mar 26 2013, 09:48 AM)
my personal opinion la..

Most acceptable squarish design (i.e i or H) = classic = BEAUTIFUL
S4 or S series design = futuristic 前卫 = WOW

the more I look at S4, the more I feel the design is above it's close competitors expecially when compare side by side..
I can't help if you don't agree la.. truly personal opinion only..

I completely agree with Uncle Benny. Design is extremely low on my list (granted it doesn't look like that Nokia lipstick).

Yes, both were design run amuck. The designers should have been shot, and the marketeers as well for willing to spin such bullsh*t on people.

Since this is everyone's favorite topic before the phone is out,

If your reddit sort setting is by "Best" first, then Nyarlathotep124's comment is the first one and sums it up nicely. tongue.gif

4K is super overkill.
even 1080p already cannot see any pixel.
4K is just a waste of resource.

He said to unfold the screen to 22". 4k is good at that size.

For 5" 1080 is great agreed.

KuLi is/was LYN's SUPERTROLL who showed up sometime last year and kept trolling Android users. He and all his dupes are perma-banned. When we detect him he will be reported and banned, and usually his posts are removed as well.

It's now a sort of game here to detect KuLi. First thing is to see the join date, and he will have 3 hallmarks:
1. Praises crapple
2. Bashes Android
3. calls people droidfags
And the tone of his posts are usually nasty.

Funny because when I said trend, I mean "larger, thinner, lighter than its predecessor, more radio chips also bigger battery capacity", isn't this the trend of the flagships over the years? 5" is just a tiny part of the facts.

Not trying to argue, but I pointed out that every flagships are improving, not just S4, but are they enough to be called "innovative"? Bigger screen with similar size = innovative? That is the point. I think I had made myself quite clear. My bad maybe I should have made it more obvious for people.

You don't have to be that offensive, for sure you can support anything you like.

I gotta admit that I am seriously not a fan of the iphone 5 when it was launched. Even now I'm still not a fan, but holding one in the hand, the design and materials used are top notch and the build of it exudes premium quality. Did I mention that it's seriously light too? smile.gif

The materials used are great and the feel is pretty awesome. Was seriously surprised, and in a pleasant way too. That said, I'm still not gonna buy one tongue.gif

Lighter, thinner, faster cpu, bigger battery , larger screen is all that's left in the race moving forward until someone creates something revolutionary. The laptop form factor has been the same for 20+ years, nobody complains it's a screen with kbd and battery. Even the macbook air is an extremely thin device that has the same elements.

QUOTE(emy_xvidia @ Mar 31 2013, 08:22 PM)
what i wrote just now is not about what you need or you think is sufficient. It's the freedom of having that option whereas other manufacturers have followed suit to what Google want. Everytime this is mentioned, cloud is something that most people would say is the future, not here, but on some other forums. Tell me, do you really wanna be that dependent on Google now? Well this is just my opinion btw, to me, its better having that options rather than not having it at all.  smile.gif
*
For cloudy fans, search for a recent legal case in the US last year whereby the judgment was that once it's on the cloud, Uncle Sam owns all your bits, not you.
I'd rather control my own bits thank you very much.

but the back cover case will get damage faster?

also if  u cover with casing u need to remove casing, remove cover , remove batt, put batt back, put cover back, put casing back  cool.gif

All, while in Korea, I saw that many people (both guys and gals) carry around the charging dock with the spare battery in it, and they would swap out the battery when the phone died. Saw so many people doing it on the subway.

So I don't think there is any effect to the (original) cover and battery. It also seems that the Korean sales package includes the charging dock and spare battery IIRC.
