Lets see after s4 come out,see how many people have without any apps and plain just for SMS,you should know now some people buy note 2 for what,go see yourself,you will know what i mean by your "troll"

nah... people also use it for fb and whatsapp

And you can get less than RM500 smartphone runs both smoothly

Ya, totally nothing to expect this year in MWC, all 5" 1080p + Snapdragon 600/800, so booooring seriously with this trend.

technology and refreshes is moving too fast

my S3 still feel quite new (bought it on may last year on launching) and now S4 is out. duno whether time flies fast or what


for S4....i don't think samsung will go with snapdragon proc, maybe just for certain US carrier specific models. if they go with snapdragon for their flagship then what's the point of their exynos proc? My guess would be a Exynos 5 quad or the Exynos 5 Octa. As for the screen type rumour, i do hope it comes with SoLux screen instead of S.AMOLED HD, or a S.AMOLED+ HD is welcomed as well.


anyway i promised myself not to get any smartphones this year (upgrading comp as top priority). but still hope samsung can be at the top of the competition.

what for you upgrade, is that SIII lagging now? lulz. it is not like you using nokia n8 now

Exy 5 Quad is 2 high core 2 low core (BIG.little). If Samsung wants to compete with Snapdragon 600 they'll need Exy 5 Octa at least since it's quad high quad low. And that's only a little better on battery saving wise because the BIG.little concept, the little(low) cores are only using Cortex A7. Also, it's not like Exynos 5 Octa coming any sooner, it's not really a bad thing if they opt for qualcomm, at least it shows that they admit themselves couldn't catch up qualcomm yet.

Exynos is not fully unlocked, I'd rather not have it, but I like Samsung for the innovation and the fact that they always include removable batt and micro SD. I've always wanted a phone with removable batt, micro SD, and a qualcomm top tier. If S4 is like that, time to buy phone.

yeah... exynos 5 not ready, nvidia tegra4 not out yet... all latest smartphone have to use snapdragon... no choice

but i think samsung will come out with some inovation on the software aspect

Don't be silly. It's quite apparent that A15 won't be ready for smartphone.

I dont mind if it will feature a snapdragon 800.

Snapdragon have been proven powerful and efficient.

I dont want a phone that got heat issue.

coming from a HTC Desire HD I hope the S4 is not all plastic again... feels like toy.

Hmm..toy that sold more than 80 millions set around the world..? The very best and favourite toy in the world..i would say

Those who don't like samsung will always complain about its 'plastic'
Personally I don't find anything wrong or poorer about it. Yes it does not look so high class but that is an unimportant issue for me
Buying a phone with main consideration of looks will never be in my list
And though is plastic it's build quality is good
Coming from a user who had used most latest smartphone from apple htc n sony

I have to say, excitement for next Galaxy is almost nearing excitement for the next iPhone.

I like this quote from TechRadar:
the first Samsung Galaxy, the i7500, wasn't as good as the iPhone. The second one was, the third one was better and the fourth one's due in a fortnight.

Why Google Should Be Scared of Samsung

So your only contribution to S4 thread is to keep pointing out how people will use it for normal phone functions. Thanks

I'm a iFag myself for past few years. In Jelly Bean era I only can accept Android due to project butter. After using S III, I mostly use entertaiment stuff on SIII than my iPhone 5. Sold off my SIII now, upgrade NOTE II for that glorious screen size!

No more HTC for me because of the custom ROM community is not as much as Samsung.

Will see what Samsung bring up to the table in 15th March

clearly lots of trolls on this topic...

all complain boring specs, etc...

logically speaking... what do people expect? isn't it a natural 'evolution'? from 720p screen to 1080p screen? isn't it also natural to go from small to bigger sized phone?

the thing is... if screen remains 720p... these trolls will say Androids are not innovating.

same with size... or the processors. they'd say how come android is stagnant.

look at the other camp... OS look and feel has not really changed in years. only recently there's a change is size. but when that happens... people say wow... major change. wow... company listens to users.

trolls... please go far, far away. back to the swamp and keep Shrek company over there...

never got smartphone yet

id go on to even ask these trolls...

if you say everything is boring... what do you expect? what kind of specs and features?

and if that does not appear on a fruit phone... does that mean the fruit phone is also boring?

Duhh..bro..no need bashing other brands. We should keep neutral and on topic. We are not haters. Let them keep and play with their own wonderful toys...lolz
Peace

Some people/trolls don't understand that technology WILL meet its limit once in awhile and the thing that follows/comes after; the breakthrough, is what that makes it worth it.

The processors are going to stay quad for quite some time before everyone uses BIG.little or goes 6 cores or something. So before that, only thing you can expect is increase in GHz of a processor, or better BIG.little implementation or some crazy innovation stuff.

Screens, 1080 just came out ffs. And they are actually making better screens of 1080p already. The naming could sound like a gimmick but if they really do perform better in benchmarks or microscopic proofs, then why not, right?

If snapdragon 600 is the best right now and nothing sooner is coming, I don't see why everyone shouldn't use it. If 1080p is the trend but it is actually really better, it is then, not a marketing gimmick and all should follow because it is considered an improvement. And improvement is what us, android users, chooses and loves.

Let me just ask, how many of these trolls actually uses android since 1.6 or 2.2? Are they people that knows a little and start complaining when technology gets "boring" for them? Well why not you go create something? And let's keep iPhone out of the discussion shall we?
