boom sound is more like a nice feature that no need to argue for
unless really go for sound quality kaw kaw

I know it standby will loss to s4, but I don't think it's standby will loss to iPhone 5, if you own a iPhone before u will know that iPhone standby suck, there is no way the one standby lower than iPhone 5, as I am using butterfly now with sense 5, standby for 8 hours while I am sleeping with 0% battery drop, with WiFi and push notification on all the time.

Somehow I feel the review is bias..

I think the way they test endurance is one day they do 1 hour browsing, 1 hour calls and 1 hour video. Then let the phone idle till the next 24 hours and repeat. So probably around 48 hour mark then the phone already dead but SIV last till 63 hours. Why it can last this long has to be the extra 300mAH and a better idle consumption. Sometimes the battery indicator also got problem one. You idle long time then see battery percentage still the same but when you use it drops very fast compared to fresh charge and no idle time + continuous usage.

Z is the worst for me, few of my friends seen also "muntah". Means not only me said bad. I got 2 friends suppose buy together with me, they both seen 1st at Singapore then give up, and waiting on HTC One now.

They said the color so wash out and bad viewing angle.
