Is that good or? Is it better then on S3?
[Galaxy S III General] lukair1983:
I don't understand these people.

In the news you quoted they say:

"Samsung dropped the version of plastic with the corners of metal / aluminium and PHOLED display with RGB structure!"

So they say they dropped the PHOLED display, which means they didn't use it.

But in the s4 release news one of their employee says:

"2 RGB = PHOLED PENTILE = AMOLED."

So is it PHOLED or it's not?!

Hmm, interesting. Looks like Samsung ditched round pebble design, well not completely.
[Galaxy S III General] yahyoh:

[Galaxy S III General] NWilz:
will the wireless charger work with this and/or the Note II?
[Galaxy S III General] mkim055:
What us s3 users should be worried about is how many of the current developers will still continue their work for s3, not how much difference there is between s3 and s4; for people sticking with s3 that is.

I personally hope Andrei_Lux continue Perseus kernel development for s3. =D

[Galaxy S III General] tolis626:
Well,I love the design.In fact I like the S3 tol,but had some complaints.Most of them seem to have been addressed in the S4.

I'm still buying it unless Sammy **** up big time.And I could be buying it only for the GPU,RAM and screen if the CPU is ****ty,but we'll have to wait and see.I doubt it'll disappoint,but **** me if it's running at 1.2GHz.

Also,for the people hating,consider this.At first I too thought that the S4 is too much like the S3 and that it wouldn't manage to beat everyone else.But did everyone else ever actually beat the S3?In some departments they did,but purely because technology goes forward.I don't think anyone produced a definitely (If at all )better phone as a whole.Taking the S3 and just improving it instead of replacing it completely is a good move by Samsung.Maybe not the best,but the most secure one.

EDIT : And for those who still say that the S3's performance is top notch,it's not.As much as I love the damn phone,1gig of RAM really kills it.Go play with an I9305 or a Note 2 and you'll realise you don't even need a better SoC to always be fast.Then go play with a Nexus 4 or an Optimus G or a DROID DNA or any phone with an S4 pro and you will realise why we now need a better SoC.

So compared to the upgrade from s2 to the s3...

And now the s3 to s4... specification wise I am happy and will definitely be upgrading sooner or later

Design looks similar as it curved? Well yea they had too stupid Apple if you may remember.... comparing the design to the s3 the s4 looks more professional and something worth 400-500 pounds where I had only paid 300 for my s3 a month after its release

AnTuTu Comparison

Benchmark scores of both the devices.

ROM: CyanogenMod 10.1​
[Galaxy S III General] Toss3:
Isn't that the antutu score that leaked weeks ago? I believe none of the attendants had the ability to install apps or run benchmarks(which IMHO does not bode well).
[Galaxy S III General] dibyajyoti:
No this is not the leaked score... This is a test that I just did on my S3..And use the comparison tool in Antutu itself to get the analysis.
[Galaxy S III General] st3chn0:
So literally just same thing
[Galaxy S III General] mchu6am4:
Well this is my assessment, Excellent hardware, excellent software/features, ultimate flexibility but unfortunately the physical design/build materials extremely disappointing!!! :mad:

Just as much as I care about the power(hardware) I also care about the quality and looks, unfortunately it doesn't quite do it in the looks department...it's like having a Porsche engine in a Skoda shell (no offence to skoda owners)!!

I think it's a decent upgrade from an s1 or s2 but not from the s3...I'm keeping my options open until physical units of experia z, htc one and s4 appear..but it's not looking good for Samsung for my business this time round!!
[Galaxy S III General] dibyajyoti:
The leaked benchmark had different scores..

In this video the scores are again different. So I just wanted to show the comparison of S3 running CM10.1 rather than stock.

wrong thread
[Galaxy S III General] Galactus:
I guess you could say that the units that tech sites have been using are still a bit away from fine tuning, but seeing the lag on some of these apps is poor. Gallery looks chunky as usual, s health app had a few stutters here and there, someone mentioned that the dialer is STILL slow to load (I hope not), web browsing had stutters.

Obviously one could install replacement apps but I shouldn't have to install ExDialer and QuickPic etc because the stock apps aren't optimised for the device they ship with. As usual though, I shall let the early adopters be "beta" testers if you will and reveal some bugs etc. Sounds like they've also dropped the Wolfson Dac.....ahh boi
[Galaxy S III General] -A-P-M-:
I bought SGS2 and SGS3 as soon as they were available. But this time probably I won't get SGS4.

First, after all rumours, I expected at least aluminium on sides, but again it has painted plastic (painted plastic cracked on SGS3 without a reason). Also they talked how premium new SGS4 feels. IMO this is complete BS, polycarbonate can't feel premium. Ckeck HTC One, Xperia Z, any iPhone since 4 or even Nexus 4, all those phones feels very premium. Also leaked SGS4 from yesterday already had crack on back cover (photo: http://www.sammobile.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Samsung_Galaxy_SIV_China_5.jpg ).

Second, no PHOLED screen, but same display tehnology as SGS3 has. So it is still pentile and also we can expect black spots on screen in dark.

Third, if Im correct, SGS4 doesn't have Wolfson sound chip. Also speaker on back side looks much more quality on SGS3 and on SGS4.

Also Samsung had a lot of bad publicity with SGS3 - cracking trim on sides, black spots on screen, Exynos vulnerability, Sudden death syndrome, and also they didn't keep their promise about releasing sources and drivers for Exynos until end of 2012. I expect same with SGS4.

They said SGS4 will be available at the end of April. Also HTC One is delayed. So probably I can't get any of them before end of April. Only 2 weeks later (Google I/O, May 15) Google will launch Android 5.0 and rumoured Motorola X. I think this will be phone to get - Motorola got great build quality and together with Google they will make great phone.
[Galaxy S III General] daleski75:
This ain't good news for the 1.9ghz Qualcomm quoted from Engadget...

Update 2: We attempted to run Sunspider on the device to get a sense of browser performance, but the test just seemed to loop. Quadrant ran just fine, though, giving us a score of 8,892 -- a result that falls far below that of the One and Optimus G Pro (both packing Snapdragon 600), but falls in line with the Droid DNA and One X+.

Could Samsung be using the older style S4 Pro for the american market and not the newer 600 series??
[Galaxy S III General] :
^^

It's really simple explanation. Everyone *confirmed* that firmware is still pre-release. These were more of a demo units. Lot of changes expected before shipment in April-end (say 45 days).

We will probably get a view of final software only towards mid of April.

Hopefully the mods will create a new section for the GS4 now it's officially announced rather than keeping it to the GS III section here.
[Galaxy S III General] uvaman:
Yea it will but when ;) After Note III I assume or around it...
[Galaxy S III General] yahyoh:
so the I9505 = the 4g version = the US version

i think the Octa version isn't 4g :(
[Galaxy S III General] fedort:
Will the dual-sim be only for the chinese market, or also for Europe? I really would like to have a dual-sim phone.
[Galaxy S III General] AndreiLux:
That's not an audio processor.

A bunch of bullcrap. The display was rumoured to have the diamond layout since last year, you don't simply change something as big as that that late on in the process, there's manufacturing delays of months in such things. This is the display we've seen at CES in January, period. Sammobile can go sodomize themselves and their "sources" with a tablet.

Thermal throttling.

As far as I can see which also corresponds with the rumours, all 3G versions are with the Octa, and all LTE versions have the Snapdragon.

It would be useless in Europe, the dual-sim is not only dual-sim, but dual-CDMA and GSM because Chinese networks are like that. You wouldn't be able to use the CDMA modem here.

WOW - UK market will be a total mess!

Orange/T-Mobile will have the Octa Version

EE - Snapdragon version

o2/Voda/3 will have the Octa version, but when they launch their 4G networks, then will probably have the Snapdragon version also!

In terms of development, which version will be better? Am I correct in assuming the snapdragon version, as there are always issues with sources for the exynos processors?
[Galaxy S III General] jameslfc5:
**** the benchmark, that screen (the whites) actually look good!! :D
[Galaxy S III General] daleski75:

but on the chinese leak the biggest pixel was green and now it's blue :D
[Galaxy S III General] Toss3:
The blue is the only subpixel that is not pholed, which is why they have to make it larger(otherwise it would not be as bright, nor live as long as the other colors).
[Galaxy S III General] lukair1983:
Does that mean that this screen is actually PHOLED (the expected screen that apperently will save 25% more energy)?

[Galaxy S III General] jameslfc5:
That will never happen unfortunately but I really hope this bit does...

- Full HD non-AMOLED screen

- On-screen buttons (Samsung need to **** off copying apple and listen to Google!)
[Galaxy S III General] XDA mark:
S800 processor: no way. It's not going to be in the S4, 100% sure. The first S800 phone's will arive later this year, the S4 is coming out very soon..

I'm also quite sure it's not going to be a full aluminium (uni)body. I read many rumors, reports, etc and based on all those things I hear and my own expectations: the best sitation would be if the S4 gets a glas front, aluminium side and plastic (polycarbonat) back. Some guy from Samsung also explained why they value plastic so much (and I understand their arguments). I think CNET reported about this. Samsung hears people and that want a premium feeling phone, so they will find the "best balance" between the benefits of plastic and having a premium feel.

It's going to be a 1080p 4.99" screen, that's for sure. So many different reports that even I have no idea if it's going to be AMOLED or not. The latest news I saw is that there are some screenshots from the S4 and the settings menu has a WHITE background, which might suggest the S4 will have a LCD screen.

I also really doubt Samsung will switch to on-screen buttons. First of all, their Galaxy S brand is very popular right now, the mass recognizes Galaxy phone's. Removing that classic home button would be a (unneccesary) risk for them. I also thought I like on-screen buttons, but the negative part is a you waste some of the screen. I got myself a Xperia Z last week which has onscreen buttons, while it has a 5" screen (and 1080p res) i could actually see less content on the Z then on my S3... which really got me thinking. I also returned the XZ for several reasons, but that's offtopic.

For me, the only points I'm still not sure about for the S4 are:

- Processor: Exynos 5 Octa or not? If yes, only for europe or also for US? Or will they all feature a S600 processor?

- Screen: Size and res are sure, but type? AMOLED or LCD?

- Wireless charging: yes or no?

- Design: S3 look a like but just bigger? New materials used? (*false hope*: Or an all new design?)
[Galaxy S III General] android_geek_here:
Samsung Galaxy S IV is going to be one hell of a device but once SIII is updated to Android 4.2 there won't be much of a difference between the two.
[Galaxy S III General] jameslfc5:
If they do stick with the ****ty physical buttons, I hope they fit them into the design nicely so that I can disable them, forget about them and use LMT Launcher (PIE)
[Galaxy S III General] barondebxl:
I agree. Thinner than an iphone 5 would actually make it uncomfortable to hold in my opinion, that's just too thin. Im also worry about it being warm. But yeah like you said, i rather have a bigger battery and have the phone a little thicker ( S3 thinness is just fine).

Also i don't mind the plastic at all, as long as it is as durable as the S2. That phone is nearly indestructible. S3 is very fragile.

Samsung Explains Why Galaxy IV Will Retain Plastic Design http://www.maximumpc.com/article/news/samsung_explains_why_galaxy_iv_will_retain_plastic_design2013
[Galaxy S III General] tolis626:
Well,what made the S3's screen so fragile was that Samsung,in their infinite wisdom,decided to have the glass curve around the bezel without some sort of protection.The S2 had a tiny portion of it's side over the display,thus preventing direct contact to a large extent.With the S3 it was just exposed to everything and it had to absorb the impact from any hit,even ones from the side.

Also that Hyperglaze bull****,which I just call shiny plastic,was just wrong.Uglier and much easier to scratch than the S2's textured back.I hope Samsung learn from their mistakes and make it right this time.If the right kind of plastic is used in a right way,it can hit the best balance between looks and function.The S2 was pretty close.The S3 was too far...
[Galaxy S III General] barondebxl:
I see, that makes sense. I have seen so many S3 shattered, including the one i had because of a small drop. The S3 does feel cheap, hopefully samsung has some improved S2 kinda plastic. It's funny cause, in my opinion, samsung does a great job with software which is the hardest part. but for the hardware (as far as looks not internals) which is supposed to be the easy part, they seem to be struggling a bit.
[Galaxy S III General] daleski75:
If the Galaxy S4 is the same build quality of the Nexus 4 then I think they are onto a winner and I agree they have excellent internals but externally it can leave something to be desired.

And there is no doubt even if it looks identical to the SGS3 it will sell millions.

P.S Still cannot decide between the HTC One and the SGS4... come on Samsung announce it so I can make a decision!
[Galaxy S III General] yahyoh:
yep i hope its has GS2 finishing its looks 100 times better ( i really hope its not hyper glaze finishing :fingers-crossed: )

[Galaxy S III General] daleski75:
micro sd and removable battery are non issues for me my main concerns about the htc one are no menu button (which i know can be mapped to long press back) and the app drawer which cannot be changed to scroll horizontally (could try a 3rd party launcher but you would lose blinkfeed etc)

And I don't mind touchwiz but it does need overhaul for the UI imho though.
