Anandtech's S4 review

He was complaining he only got the Sprint version which had such lousy data connectivity that the data tests were meaningless. No Octa.

If you read the part about the Battery and Charging, it seems the Note 2 charger already employs such technology.

Also, excerpt on the CPU:

Digging through the Galaxy S 4 kernel source we see references to an APQ8064AB part. As a recap, APQ8064 was the first quad-core Krait 200 SoC with no integrated modem, more commonly referred to as Snapdragon S4 Pro. APQ8064T was supposed to be its higher clocked/Krait 300 based successor that ended up with the marketing name Snapdragon 600. APQ8064AB however is, at this point, unique to the Galaxy S 4 but still carries the Snapdragon 600 marketing name.

If we had to guess, we might be looking at an actual respin of the APQ8064 silicon in APQ8064AB. Assuming Qualcomm isn't playing any funny games here, APQ8064AB may simply be a respin capable of hitting higher frequencies. We'll have to keep a close eye on this going forward, but it's clear to me that the Galaxy S 4 is shipping with something different than everyone else who has a Snapdragon 600 at this point.

Yes they have some kind of digital broadcasting which we don't have here. Won't work at all here.

Best way to deal with trolls is to ignore them. Completely in this case, as it seems to have a case of Attention Deficiency Disorder.

The Galaxy Xcover 2 has IP67 rating with a removable battery and microsd. The backplate is secured by a screw action. No flimsy flaps.

But having said that, I don't know if it heralds a bad habit of making users wash their phones are purposely submerging it for the heck of it. The XZ thread contains quite a number of boo boos from people purposely submerging their phones are habitually washing it.

Again however, if you look at Sony's TV ad, it shows the use case of protection against ACCIDENTAL or INCIDENTAL splashes and spills rather than purposeful submersion, eg snorkelling or river video filming.

Lastly, Seidio OBEX series cases offer immediate IP57 or IP67 protection ..... so why sweat it?

My 2 cents is that electronics and water DO NOT mix and I will only wipe my phone if I really must, and not wash it even if it's supposedly waterproof.

Note 2 ada pakai lagi ka bro?

A survey last year said ios is for yr grandmother.

TS, I have created a form for S4 owners here:

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1eRZ4NoICss...0ihPYY/viewform

All, you may use this to add yourselves instead of having the TS add. It is an extremely tedious job as I went thru the experience.

Here is the list. The first 3 owners prepopulated.

Nice test. I can barely view 3 on the Note 2, max brightness and zoomed to fullscreen.

So how should we interpret the result? Is being able to view "1" the best?

EDIT: oh sorry didn't notice you'd already replied. thanks.

I wonder if those Note 2 users on Perseus kernel with that color tweak can see till "1" or you can see it without tweaking?
