I cannot fathom why people comparing Zi and Note 3.

Note 3 is one and only phablet with S-Pen and highest end spec.

Its very easy to choose. You want S-Pen and highest end spec get Note 3. For everything else (I'm not sure why everything else is important ) get others.

You, being an engineer, can see beyond appearances into the specs. The vast majority don't see beyond how it looks. That's the fact of how people behave. Marketeers capitalize on this.

Cannot compare a phablet 5.7" with phone 5". Totally different user experience.

lol the build quality is not thattttttttttt bad la

Fun stuff to do with Google Now? Some may like it.

With the hardware of the Note 3, this should be pretty slick. I recall Qualcomm said that they could emulate the Moto X's always listening CPU by updating some firmware for their companion DSP processor.

Although I won't be using the Google Now as what has been demonstrated, however I do hope we can have the active mic function like this which will be extremely useful when you need to set a reminder or make a call or call up the Google Maps (especially since now we have the voice navigation) while you are driving

Is there a possibility that Note 3 dual sim be available in Malaysia.

hail Note 3! you are the best, nothing to compare…

meanwhile in Apple; CEO: go find some alien to design the next iPoop!

Samsung's Exynos 5 Octa CPUs will be able to use all eight cores at once in Q4 Mobile
http://www.engadget.com/2013/09/09/samsung...nos-5-octa-hmp/

Yes, its confirmed Note 3 will be the best. Exynos version will really be 8 core. All usable at once.
Not fake octa core. But real one.

So anyone interested on Exynos version now?

no point because dev dont like developing for exynos platform. they rather do it on snapdragon

The question here is
1) Dev support?
2) Are the apps that you use capable of using all 8? or does the octa core scale well??

This is just over hyped. But I know you Malaysians love it very much.

Erm, if Android OS passed all UI and touch processing to little ARM7 cores strictly while other processes on BIG ARM15 cores, we'll get iOS smoothness.

1) no need Dev support. Hopefully KitKat 4.4 will support octa parallel smart processing
2) apps should continue use 4 ARM15 cores while ARM7 cores can be used for UI element

That is not the point, android as a whole is flawed in its prioritization.
No amount of cores will "remove" that lag away.

hahaha... please don't say that ya. Although we know Android OS is bad in prioritization, we cannot say this in Android forum. Later got people will hate you.

I think with more parallel processing lag can be removed. Who's with me in this?

i feel that part of the reason that make owning an android device special is because of the dev support and amount of customization available to each of us. then again your priority may be different.

the recent moto x is a big step in showing that a phone need not have the best spec but it still can perform flawlessly without lag.

I'm not saying DEV support is not the priority. Its just that its not important in this case. Multiprocessing is I think in the OS, and not in the dev cooking rom.

of course it is, because its the latest flagship anyway, what the point to be the latest if not the best.. the only question is just for how long it will be on the throne? for this year, yes, it might be, because afaik there is no more unannounced incoming device for this year… but towards the end of this year, be ready for next year flagships rumours.. its never ending contest.. you know why i'm excited to see Alcatel One Touch Hero? its not about how powerful is the processor, but i'm glad to see more functionality coming for smartphone when manufacturer starts to think out of the box and making more hybrids.. thats what i really want to see, not just increase in number of processor cores and RAM.. I think we already come to a point that we have above sufficient processing power on our smartphones, but whats next?

Not quite, that phone is highly customised, even with its architecture cores and their sole purpose. Almost to the extent of it being the iPhone of Android.
