Good point, it wasn't me who said it, it was xperiax10.awesome ;) and it does last up to 48 hours with just normal calls and texts, i'm affraid that it only lasts around 20hours+ with just calls and texts and not a lot of usage, this is with wifi off 3g off and screen brightness half way. I don't know if the nexus 4's battery is worse or what but it sure is a darn disappointment :/!

Hahahahaha xD! Thank you for your trolled BS post :D! It's funny being called a sony fanboy when you have bought the likes of the galaxy nexus to the note 2 to the nexus 4 :)))!

Stock phones don't mean anything, if the s3 ran a stable clean version of cm, vs the galaxy nexus, there would be no competition what so ever :D! The galaxy nexus has been optimised so much that even opening and closing apps are so smooth, why do you think ubuntu decided to showcase ubuntu OS running on the galaxy nexus? The s3 is a good phone, but even with it's quad core, it just can't compete with the galaxy nexus, which is what i and everyone else here is saying that, you don't need to have a phone with crazy amounts of ram or octa core processor's if the software isn't optimized to match the hardware. Maybe for the average consumer then things like smart stay and svoice are amazing, and am sure with the s4 the marketting will be sky high with their octa cores, but let me tell you this, samsung can't fool me, the xperia Z is a power machine, i mean even the optimus G is a better performer than the s3!
[Xperia Z General] Akiainavas:
I wasn't referring to anybody, especially not to you mate, just to the situation that can be observed here lately :)

Anyway, thanks for clearing the battery status. If it survives one full day with normal/heavy use, than it's fine. If it lasts 48 hours when i'm kinda bored with it and just use it for texts and calls - then i'm satisfied and not going to complain about it. After all i still charge my 3100mah Note 2 every single day so i'm not expecting any miracles here - just don't want my phone to die on me before i get back home :)

If we talk about UI, even under 1Ghz iPhone 3G was smoother than some dual core 1,5Ghz devices ( only in terms of UI/System Apps ). As you, and many others said - without good software, even the greatest hardware can be bad.
[Xperia Z General] AayushDhuria:
Manufacturing defect is alright, this, Samsung knew already that it'd corrupt. I forgot the details but when that Superbrick occured, xda devs got in touch with Google devs and they explained the reason why with ICS, and why it didn't happen at all in Galaxy Nexus as Google told Samsung to use right emmc chips. Knowing that, Samsung again used them.
[Xperia Z General] xiFIL:
That's not the point? The point is that they have not resolved the issue as in actually fix what is wrong with the phones! From the s2's eMMc brickbug issue to the s3's sudden death and exynos bug? Its pathetic how samsung are not willing to acknowledge the dev community, yet they are more than happy to fix bugs found by the dev community :) What strikes me about sony is that they work on par with devs, its a good feeling knowing your manufacturer has got your back, i mean look at the cm team, they all met with samsung and tried to strike a deal with them about sources but samsung threw it back in their faces, time after time, despite the fact that when a phone dies, the devs are the ones who resurrect the device, they are the ones who add value to a device!

---------- Post added at 02:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:19 PM ----------

Ahh i see bro, no harm done :D! And yes it lasts around 48 hours just with texts and calls, but the battery isn't the best on normal usage, you will be dissapointed coming from the note 2, coz the 1080p screen and LTE drains the battery like hell, i mean screen time was only 3 hours for me, i really hope it gets resolved because its a major drawback for me! And your very right indeed! Its shocking how everyone talks about cores yet the iphone 5 on a dual core 1.2Ghz processor performs better than the HTC butterfly, i mean i am in no way an apple fanboy but you have to give them credit! Because the UI of ios has not changed it's easier to code and make it fast!

Ok sds issue is there and they might have overlooked the emmc.. but it isn't necessary it will happen again with their upcoming phones.

Anyway I will definitely look for problems/reviews before buying another "samsung"(or any other) phone.

I think I will use all 4 of them then decide which one to take.

Btw LG is too big that is the size of note

Of course not. SD issue won't happen in future devices as they'll be using completely different emmc chip. But there might be new issues. Overlooked? ICS was released in November '11. Google told Samsung to use updated 0x25 chips as with ICS, system wipes chip before writing, up to GB it just over wrote. Still Samsung used 0x19 old chips in s3 which was released in May '12. I have high hopes from S4 though.

I was expecting this from you, was wondering why you haven't said this yet. Its not about whats happening, well android runs JVM so it does need a bit of more resources but not this much difference. iOS is a stale os, it doesn't have true multi tasking ,it pauses apps when you switch to other, android has tons of stuff going in background, tons, and iOS? Close to nothing. BTW iPhone 5 has "REAL" dual core based on A15 which is any day more powerful than Note 2's quad and snapdragon dual. Its GPU is PowerVR SGX544MP3 which reportedly will be in exynos octa. iPhones don't need much RAM coz of the reason I described.

It is a custom arm core called swift core, wont say as powerful as A15 but quite same.

Also iPhone5 uses sgx543mp3 clocked at 266mhz and Samsung octa is using sgx544mp3 clocked at 533Mhz , so exynos octa should perform 2x(both have same unit setup, but octa has 2x clock frequency) of iPhone5 in gpu (266x2=532)

There isn't a need for that "raw" processing power .

GPU , software and interfacing are more important than just cpu speeds ,that is why apple is still able to run their phones smooth even after low cpu clocks.

You'd rather take a modified A9 dual-core instead of a Quad-Core A9? We were not comparing A15 vs A9, but Apple's A6 and the Exynos 4412. Apple's A6 != A15. I know I'd rather have the 4412.
[Xperia Z General] i9100g user:
Re: [OFFICIAL]Xperia Z vs Galaxy S4(Mar15) & All Upcoming Phones-Don't start new thre

You know there is no need for a quad core on ios ,they don't have real multitasking.

And most of the time we use our phones for single threaded operations than multithreaded so a (more powerful per core) dual core will give better performance in single threaded operations than a (less powerfull per core) quad core.

But in multithreaded operations quad core would be better theoretically.

I still find iPhone 5 smoother to use than s3(though jb has improved it very much) ,maybe due to some other reason , but definitely I can't see a significant difference in dual or quad.
