Exactly lo...

I even never feel any special of iPhone as I own 1st iPod touch, iPhone just add-on call functionality on it, until dated iPhone5 was same, nothing much impress.

Smoothness - also 100% agree, iOS no widget, no real background running, off course it will be much much smoother than Android.

I felt nauseated at the control freakery of Apple after some reading shortly after ipr0n launched and never ever want one (unless they change their philosophy)

I agree..The floating touch is cool and it seems like more to a bragging software..as i see that it has a delay..so not really practical..the part where u can scroll by tilting is also nice but i have 1 question. Imagine u are not sitting or not standing steadily, will the screen just scroll itself?

Also,the part where it tracks ur eyeball and pause the video for you when you are not looking is a little extra imo..might eat up more battery juice and it does have a delay according to some hands on video,the lady had to repeat doing the look away from the screen before the video is paused... sweat.gif

Maybe the floating touch is useful when you are eating and dirtied your hand?? tongue.gif then you can still use your phone..  tongue.gif

Ya, sometimes cool things not means practical. smile.gif

The airview feature is something i don't really understand , Note 2 i understand how it works with stylus maybe detecting to be floating near the screen.

But with S4's latest airview , how is it achievable? What sort of detecting hardware did they put to detect fingers?

if its rightly priced, then it'd attract more potential buyers for sure. I really hope that they change their standard pricing with the S4. Interested to get the 32GB one, but if only the price is right as in <RM2200 for a 32GB model.

design-wise, it is disappointed, especially to S3 users whose habit is upgrading phone every year. tongue.gif but even its made from poly-carbonate materials, the finishing of it is nice imo. HTC One is nice too, but 4.7" for me is a lil bit small nowadays since I spent a lot of time on my phone rather than the desktop nowadays. How i wish Note 3 is just around the corner as well.

when note 3 is out,then you would wish for s5,then note 4 and so on..we will never win the race against the pace of smartphone technology,so the thumb rule for buying smartphone is just to choose whatever phone you like,buy it and settle down with it. biggrin.gif
Or if u have alot of extra cash to burn,then just change phone once a new phone is out. smile.gif

All of those scores are from preproduction phone.
Need to wait for the final product then can get the accurate reading.
