QUOTE(waveweaver @ Mar 6 2013, 08:01 PM) You mean rigid polycarbonate like Lumia and Butterfly or HOX.? noooooooooooooooooooooooooo replaceable battery is the main advantage of the samsung phone, besides no matter how good the battery, i prefer if i can replace it with another battery incase of emergenciesI think it possible if S4 don't have removable battery. Otherwise it still be the old thin..light..bendable plastic. Cheap and hard to break. Sometimes i wonder..since Note2 has already achieved an acceptable period of battery usage (1 - 2days with 10hrs SOT) ..why not Samsung put that type of battery into S4 as un-removable and built a solid rigid polycarbonate unibody like Butterfly and Lumia This post has been edited by destEX: Mar 6 2013, 08:16 PM |

those who have burn in issue, you need to use it alot, like rly alot to appear, can easily be seen if you have a blue picture and open it full screen to appear even at the top, but its not as bad as some pics you saw the htc widget picture can be seen on screen
but no worries, i switched to different rom and my nav bar disappears, now its all even oh using s2 for around 1yr 9 months |

QUOTE(SnailWithFingers @ Mar 17 2013, 01:33 PM) "eye tracking systems".....that sounds so odd. Meaning it can detect our eyeballs movement? Literally, our eyeballs are a controller hd games for mobile have long existed, so no sweat. For eye obviously using the front camera, then they calibrate your eye movement to the controls and walla. but then i doubt it will be a very solid way of movement/aiming and you cant not move your head at all...so there must be other ways that devs are interested in utlizing this. I am looking forward to play hd game on mobile phone another thing are the new sensors, many new interactive apps can be made with new sensors, in the future i foresee motion sensors being in mobiles and we would be playing games like the Wii and Kinect |

Supercurio aka francois simond aka voodoo project creator, tweeted that S4 uses very high spec wolfson micro WM5102 but samsung set the sound to default at 48kHz whereas normal sounds are at 44.1kHz so it will be upsampled

QUOTE(MPIK @ Mar 25 2013, 08:32 AM) Too bad the speakers are placed behind the phone which many ppl complain it is too awkwardly placed just like the nexus 4. Your plam have covered the speakers hole almost completely. Dei the dac is for sound quality la, obviously is for the iem and headphones, we all know phone speaker sucks in quality no matter what dac is usedUnlike the htc one which place it's dual frontal stereo speakers in front of the phone.

for the s4 the innovative part is the software and new features, innovation means taking something and making it better, think you confuse inventions and innovation, even though your POA is correct, the screen size increase is not innovative, but the big little architecture by ARM is innovative and if proven popular, the new IR may be innovative too just like NFC, now they have all these smart features, they are innovative too, taking a normal front camera and programming codes to do beyond what they are designed to do
