And the word here is "upgrade" and consumers will be a sucker for it . Guess it's human nature , when ip5 came out , everyone was complaining . Yet today , ip5 has the top sales compared to others in the market in Q4 . And for those who r complaining here about the design and how u bad u guys felt about it , dont go buying a S4 when it comes out . It will contradict to your own words .

Yeah, they do look good. But, I doubt so if your displaying those pics on slightly bigger screens. Say on a 19 inch monitor or bigger. I'm just afraid it might lose the details that I want. Not saying the quality is bad. Just that my eyes are now pampered by higher res pics/videos captured by higher res cameraphones. I did a playback of videos captured by my missus' Note 2 on my 42 inch samsung smart tv the other day. So crisp, sharp and nice. If HTC One can do that too, I'm sold!

only starts to lose detail when u zoom ler..

the size of 4 MP is already above 1080p ler

Nice one.

I'd say slap on a Seidio OBEX to the S3/S4 and you have immediate IP57 or IP67 rating  !!!!!

Then XZ loses its edge.... I'm fine with a thick bulky casing

i guess you're only comparing android? else i'd think to be fair, i5 should also be there?after all, just comparison of h/w specs.

i think if there's another section for misc sensors... S4 will definitely win. barometer. temperature sensor. humidity sensor... gosh...

wonder if we can start using the phone as a thermometer. actually, i dun mind. good to be able to capture and know the temperature in office, etc...

i think it wins on weight. i recall seeing a similar chart and if i am not mistaken, its only 130g. that is impressive, if accurate.

sony z spec not bad ma.. just a bit lower compare s4 and one. not really significant

Im 70% wanna get ZL now and split between One and S4 in deciding..

Wat is the con on the lcd panel? U mean the viewing angle u not like?

I actually prefer LCD rather than AMOLED.
The colour on AMOLED is so over saturated, too fake.

The best is IPS LCD

Better HTC One than XperiaZ

Ya I agree. Not to forget Nokia clear back display IPS.
Yeah the "real" black is awesome. 
I once loved AMOLED when the first time I saw it. The photo looks so nice on AMOLED. But then after I transfer my photo from phone to PC, I realized the photo is actually not as saturated as it looks.    So now I prefer to get a realistic display.

Different people different perspective haha
Amoled has organic compounds, which will degrade over time, causes screen burn 

still waiting for those who so eager to know the exynos 5 benchmark score against snapdragon 600

but the units on the unpacking is not running on finalized software, so there might still be room for improvement, still, best to wait retail unit review on that

Yes , can see that in Nexus 4 and Xperia Z threads. I think I am only one of the few talking negative stuffs about these phones and what I said is true based on my experience using them
I am no fanboy of any brand though I used many Samsung phones and seriously I have no major complains except for only Galaxy S which I openly said is the worst Android phone in my list

wow top 1 in benchmark again ??

those scores are from the Qualcomm version. Im waiting for the Exynos version. Seem to cant find it for now

last time i saw on antutu,

GT-19500 already 40k++

They better have higher sales figures than S4 then...

ya lor.error maybe?

n i dunno what is so special about samsung. people get get crazy over it but i cant feel anything special.haha
