Let the sales of S4 be the judge. Hope so no SDS hit S4 like they did for the previous Galaxy series

QUOTE(ben3003 @ Apr 29 2013, 02:02 PM) lol.. ppl say no LTE also no problem, so wat is ur problem? I also keep talking about this, LTE is shouldnt be a DEAL BREAKER, especially u live in places that dont have LTE and even 3g speed is not decent. Snapdragon 600 or not should not be a DEAL BREAKER as well if u want a LTE phone. Agreed, afaik most normal user they doesn't even know what LTE is. they don't bother much about it. All they see "Samsung".. "Android".."Facebook".. "Twitter" .. "Big Screen" .. "Good After Sale Support".. "Fast Download" and etclol This post has been edited by miloy2k: Apr 29 2013, 02:07 PM |

QUOTE(benny888 @ Apr 29 2013, 07:10 PM) Performance of course is better than S3 by a wide margin. Just see the benchmark figures to have an idea : 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..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 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. |

QUOTE(Noobi3 @ Apr 30 2013, 08:01 PM) There's a retail store in Berjaya Times Square . Anywhere else , check from garage sales . A few forumers r selling as well and cheaper . But do be careful of getting a fake , only buy from those reputable forumers . cheaper in most cases is fake, ori should be rm17x-18x btw fyi i did buy a s3 fake ottobox and compare with my officemate ori ottobox, imo more less the same feel and built quality. |

QUOTE(benny888 @ Apr 30 2013, 10:47 PM) I would say the battery usage is comparable but you wont get same SOT or usage hours since is only 2600 mAh vs 3100 mAh and perhaps soon they will be an extended battery for s4 like they did for s2, s3 EXAMPLE I was using 3g browsing for past hour continously n battery drop from 90% to 72% ie 18% /hour. On note 2 my average is 13 to 15%/hour This is roughly quite similar See battery drain chart : start time 2132 n end time 2234 : from 90 % to 72% This is just a rough assessment Definitely way much better than S3 which I used to see 25 to 30%/hour on 3g browsing [attachmentid=3418697] http://blog.gsmarena.com/samsung-galaxy-s4...res-how-it-did/ QUOTE While we’re here, we should mention that Samsung will be selling accessories for the Galaxy S4 to help with the battery life – one is a special back cover that enables wireless charging and the other is a dedicated charger for a second battery. hmm |
