QUOTE(benny888 @ Apr 29 2013, 10:36 AM) Logically, I would also think the Exynos OcatCore would have a better battery life vs Snapdragon Htc one won't operate at 1.9ghz all the time. Linux has cpu scaling. For idle or light operation, cpu can scale down to 100mhz. The Octacore can revert back to the lower 1.2 Ghz processor for most light tasks and only use the 1.6 Ghz chip for more intensive operations. The Snapdragon will always operate at 1.9 Ghz. Practically we don't really know yet as the efficiency of the chip will also affect it Samsung Mobile CEO tell us both are similar in performance http://www.ibtimes.com/samsung-galaxy-s4-s...jk-shin-1220189 It's just that A7 is a more efficient cpu for lower load operation. For that reason, I think this big.little config of exynos triumph over SD600 in terms of power consumption. |

Good to have but currently normal user don't bother much about it. My cousin, sell of his xz and go for S4 due to "viewing angle issue". He cannot stand it, and his bro is lucky to buy xz at cheaper price. |

QUOTE(supersaiyanmomo @ Apr 29 2013, 11:52 AM) Nothing is future proof now day, most normal HP user will change the phone within 6-12months. The reason why I'm willing to get the non-LTE version (or any other phones for now)Plus LTE estimate will take 2-5 years to fully mature like 3g/H+. With or without LTE for normal user they don't bother much about it. Maybe my next phone in 2-3 years (my average change per phone)..hopefully LTE is matured enough in the country that I'll get an LTE ready phone |

By end of this year, coverage would have increased. but its not really stable or good... was with a fren using iphone. we tested with speedtest.net apps on the iphone. maxis lte connection... speed was less than 1mbps. It would be stupid to buy the s4 now. Wait for the lte version Lte speed is so much faster compared to 3g. Its like compare streamyx and unifi i used my 3g u mobile... almost clocked 2mbps. but i'm sure it will stabilise over time. so yes, i agree with the argument that lte can wait another 1-2 years... i'm in no hurry to get an lte phone for now.

QUOTE(SnailWithFingers @ Apr 29 2013, 01:29 PM) btw can u review the new features in s4? like the eye scrolling, air gesture etc eye scrolling should be called head tilting, because from what i've used of it, that's essentially what it is.how accurate are they? are they useful, etc... you tilt your head, the screen moves. the good: it works the bad: very sensitive. if you hold the phone in your hands and adjust it slightly(by mistake), the scrolling will go haywire. maybe there's a sensitivity setting to adjust, but out of the box it's just too sensitive. so it works, but not perfectly. QUOTE(madman20 @ Apr 29 2013, 01:32 PM) make sure you book it quick |

What the problem if I justify my need or point of view in this forum? Btw, FYI, I am using Galaxy Nexus 4 user while my husband is using Note 2. |
