Note II is not PenTile.

I think nope, the phone he hold is S III not S 4, see the flash light placement, which on side not bottom.

Title a bit misleading, others review most hands-on with actual S 4.

Some one posting this at XDA, if the information was correct.. then... hmmm.... Samsung still bring over without LTE version to Malaysia? LTE already on testing period now.

It seems most came with Snapdragon 600 this time than Exynos, include Korean itself.

I am not planning to get this phone... but if I get, I will go for snapdragon since Exynos no support on LTE (base on the given information if was correct). I know Malaysia still on testing period, but it may come soon, end of year or next year?

But at least not now, seems Samsung already start given better spec on Note since last year Note II, their Galaxy S series was not that nice trim.

Maybe, but I not fancy Note, a bit too big.

Ya, yesterday, CM hacksung developer team already said none going to buy S4.

I never own Note II, Note II was use by my sister, no me.

Play not means I want ma.. haha...

The only thing impress me was S4 interface & features, I still love TouchWiz & all Samsung added features, some true was gimmick, still lot was useful.

I don't care on exchangeable battery as I seldom take out my battery and never buy second battery in my life before till now. As I also don't care much on microSD card slot, as long given me internal 32GB was enough, also microSD card performance never can beat with internal storage performance.

Talk on cheap, Samsung specification (hardware) never cheap, it always use better than competitor.

Use plastic not means it will cheap, it was the design reason to make it look cheap or not, same as aluminium, if design crap, it still look cheap.

I know what you mean.

Note II was far far better but it forever cannot compare with smoothness of pure Android like in Nexus 4.

Normally those issues will be much better on better tunes ROM or kernel.

How to said lei, Samsung phone was fast but it cannot maintained the smoothness all time, it like skip frame during animation on opening or closing the apps, most obvious is opening the widget and then do pinch to zoom the page.

Anyway since Note II, it was already in my acceptable level, those extreme tiny skip frame smooth issue was nothing to me.

Marketing no need money? Staff no need paid? Factory build by god? Shipping FOC? Research also did by volunteer?

Yalo!

Don't worry, it is mini edition.

But pretty sure Note III will be far better.
