wew guys, getting out of hand here.

both devices are good in terms of what they are capable of doing.

as for why favor one for the other, its entirely up to the user.

I have used an iphone and what it can do does better than what samsung has to offer, and what samsung can offer does better than the iphone. Its just that and that alone.

nonidrageya.

I believe u mean can preorder soon.

Singapore isn't taking any preorders until tomorrow.

From the looks of it, Samsungs about to pull off their dirty trick again, claiming 64gb will be available at launch, yet not even one US carrier have offered the 64gb....

u might as well suggest geofenced wireless charging.

its using amoled. those vibrant colors will obviously look better in the eyes of an average consumer.

Owh god, feels like back to s2 era for me. The long wait, the expected high price, lulz.

Would really go for the 64gb if its below 1000aud, I need that space, my xzu is literally full after transferring half of my media content.

Owh my god, the note 3 is priced at 649 quids, not sure if that includes vat, even so, this is pretty insane....

Brah, quids to rm is 5.2. quids =/=usd

yeah, the s2 in my opinion felt the best among the whole s lineup, and it had a good weight to it that made it feel good in your hands.

I doubt samsung actually cares to compete with apple with this product. Totally different consumers with different wants.

If the 64gb is well within the range of 2,6-3k, I dont mind, but if it hits above 3k, owh well, still gonna buy it.

Interesting to see this conversation relating to what one learns in economics.

What he meant was quallcomm's quick charge version 2.0, and with usb3, charging thru ur pc shud be much faster.

pre-ordered thru handtec already. Looks like those kimchi have conned me once more, 64gb nowhere to be seen.

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.

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

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.

Yes it is using android, but it requires much more than just slapping a powerful soc onto a flagship device, something neither HTC or Samsung has done.

That said, I do agree with you that that lag can be done away with a sheer amount of dedication, it just requires much more effort and we all know effort = higher costs.

You are missing out on the point of why Android is a great platform.

Choice is the keyword. Like = use, dont like = replace.

Will never happen, if you actually owned multiple android devices.

I swear to god, every time samsung launches a new flagship device, we go over this dejavu over and over again.
