How does lte use up quota faster? If file is 10mb whether on 3g or lte, it still downloads as 10mb mah. And lte has actually improved battery life on ip5.

*
Firstly we talking about Samsung S4 and not ip5.

Yes, it will eat the quota faster IF that user tend to download/streaming more stuff on their HP.

KuLi aka koolee lah. He mess up the user list n added me in several times as "benny888 is a gay". This chap really hates me probably cos I always refute his nonsensical blabbering in the apple iphone n S3/note/note2 threads. Got tired if arguing with him n let other users do it . To me his behaviour is just childish , with a kid brain in a 50+ body. Not surprised he will reincarnate again n continue his android bashing

LOL... Actually who is him? why is him so notorious here? ohmy.gif what he did?

Performance of course is better than S3 by a wide margin. Just see the benchmark figures to have an idea :
Quadrant 12000-13000 vs 6000+ ; AntuTu 21000-22000 vs 15000-16000. Well these are just numbers but you gotta feel the additional increase in performance only when you are using it

Battery life : I estimate it at least 50 % better as the battery size alone is about 20+ % bigger. And with its lower chip operating at 1.2 Ghz for most commonly used tasks ( eg call, SMS, tweets etc ) this will be an additional advantage. Phone still new and cannot give you exact numbers. Example just 3G/H browsing, battery drain is 15-18%/hour ( download speeds at 4000-5000 kbps Maxis) vs 25-30% on the S3. And the S4 is very , very obviously cooler in operation vs the obviously hotter S3 , another contributing factor to better battery life

Display you gotta see for yourself to be impressed - must say this is Samsung finest I have seen
Camera - it is 13 MP vs 8 MP : I'd say the improvement might be not much but the added camera features is great and these depends whether you want to use it or not only
*
IMO, I doubt those who use s3 for normal usage like calling/sms/FB/Twitter/etc will feel the different unless they play games and etc..

For the battery part should be a plus since I am using extended battery for S3 (original 3k), I can say almost same like my wife note2 battery performance.

If S4 also SDS, this will be famous news and tied with Samsung forever. tongue.gif

I don't think Samsung never learn this issue and continuing it. But if yes, then haha! Pretty sure next S5 nobody want already except die hard fans.

I use my Maybank AMEX card with no problems whatsoever on Amazon.

Give Maybank a call, maybe they're blocking because it's an unusual transaction for you. Especially if you're using it the first time.

Sorry to burst your bubble my friend but I think the 50% off promo is kaput.

Supposedly it was an error which SPIGEN have rectified.

Hi, anyone knows which Maxis center still got black GS4? A staff at Maxis Shaftsbury Square told me they only got white ones...

Thinking of getting the phone with TalkMore48 + 3GB data package, but after re-calculate, I decided to take up the SurfMore75 5GB data package. The main reason is I don't talk or sms much.

SurfMore75 (RM75) vs TalkMore48 + 3GB (RM116) = RM41 difference
Maxis to Others rate: call (0.20/min) and sms (0.15/sms)

I can still make 117 min calls and send 117 smses with the RM41 extra if I choose SurfMore75 package ( RM41 / [0.20+0.15]=117.14 ). Plus I get extra 2GB data!

* both with 1 year contract and same price for the phone @RM1699
** previously using Umobile RM28 prepaid package and I can't even finish the free 100 min calls + 30 smses in 30 days.

Any better ideas guys?
