Why want to set off LTE network? Its just like 3G->H->H+->4G, becoming part of your usual internet bandwidth increment depending on signal strength. No activation or deactivation (assuming you have at least 1 GB data plan for Maxis).

If you really don't want LTE, just set network mode to GSM/WDCMA, you won't see LTE appearing in your internet connection but I don't see any point in doing that.

As mentioned before S4 3G only has 16GB memory vs S4 LTE 32GB thus justify the price difference besides the LTE. Current S4 3G processor is not optimized thus the better processor is still LTE snapdragon on battery life and balanced performance.

the reason is LTE drain data faster, isn't it? I never experience that thus just based on guessing.

thank you for the sharing. However, i think S4 3G still a good buy if budget is lesser smile.gif

to me this is bulls**t... people are blaming LTE "drain" data faster. actually the data used no matter in 2G/3G/4G is all the same. the only diff is the speed between them.

others said LTE "drain" data because of the way they use it. faster data speed mean webpages load faster and so they tend to surf more webpages and download more movie, etc... then the data quota finish faster... shocking.gif  to me it is purely based on their own personal habit of usage

I'm not sure myself but LTE is the increased bandwith speed, not increase data size. If you view the same page, I doubt it will transmit more data, just way faster. Those say use more data.....coz when you have much higher speed, you tend to browse more often thus increase in data usage. Trust me, you won't want to go back to streamyx 1GB when you have tasted UNIFI.

If budget is a concern, of course S4 3G is till a viable option but if asking for future proof and long term usage with HD games playing, S4 3G will be lacking. For me S4 LTE is like a full spec car while S4 3G is a lesser spec car of same model. You can live with both but you won't get to enjoy the maximum potential of the car if you get that lesser spec ones but many with budget constraint has live with it. Its RM400 different between S4 LTE and 3G, with addition of LTE and extra 16GB memory, some who already spend near 2K may as well go for the most relevant models but if you hit that limit, the lesser models usually are more widely purchased.

Yes, i do have same thinking as both of you, until my friend told me LTE consume more data....that make me confuse laugh.gif

thanks again for the input

yes which one u suggest? is nano better then TR?
*
Both feature more likely the same. Surface hardness are same, oleophobic coating, anti-shatter film...
However, Nana has the best installation result among Glas.t series, due to no air bubbles.

they may not better than each other, just user preferences only smile.gif

If want to order contact me.

Nano (I'm using it) is ultra thin, almost invisible, only slightly thicker than standard SP. It does not have deep curve on home button thus no need those Jelly Bean home button add-on. Its smoothness is incredible, similar to gorilla glass screen without SP visible. It however does not help on gorilla screen crack minimization. Its very light. If you like to use various casing including non SGP cases, Nano was designed to fit in most casing since its very thin.

TR thicker glass has some screen break protection capability (help minimize chances of gorilla glass cracking from impact) but it does has a deep gorge on the home button, jelly bean button will be preferred to easily press the button. Its side is more visible and adds a bit to the weight of the phone. Otherwise, they are quite the same in functions and features. Not all casing are fit compatible due to its extra thickness thus the only guaranteed compatible casing is the SGP ones. If you like to change different casing, you will have to try your phone on them before purchasing those casing.
