R: [Q] Need Help Galaxy s3 vs Nexus 4

Im using xda app, using red ti quote would have me writing down htmls every 5 secs, plus i cant quote the already quoted, so ive numbered the answers:

Too long....

1)the screen looks just fine, lock away your s4 for a week and use the s3, after the week has passed you will notice you dont notice anything wrong about the screen anymore, screen color comparisons are nonsense, becuase you wont notice the difference unless u own another phone(like u). If you thinks its oversaturated, theres an option in stock rom to change 4 colors, 4 options actually...

2)wow i cant believe you actually have a gig left...

I own one nandroid backup(dont need more)

2 movies(watched and deleted the others)

Something like 40 youtube videos

1.4gigs offline wiki

6.8 gig of music

662mb of images and camera vidS

112mb of random download stuff ive never had the time to delete

1.9gigs of stuff i got ready to flash in case i need it(roms or gapps and stuff)

+other coding stuff random junk

Ive got 11.6gig free on sdcard, and since on my internal storage i only keep apps, ive got 4gigs free.

Dont think u gonna watch many more movies with 1gig

3)i think s3 i believe to be faster, but i cant be sure cause ive never owned both cells.

4)guess people looking for help on xda know the goodies can be found in custom roms, so no real obstacle here. stock rom is a problem for people that barely know what a smartphone is and dont tweak/use it that much. In that case, s3 will still be just fine, its fast even without tweaking if its not loaded...

5)ripple effect is cool and with added ink mod effect it just rocks. Guess its gimmocks to you cause you DONT HAVE it ;)

Nexus notification area is light years from samsung's, i would find it difficult to use it, it takes even longer than ios' sbsettings tweak.

By homescreen effects i mean the way the pages look, theyre cool.

About memory manager...i dont know what n4 has got, do you mean automatic memory management? I was instead speaking of quick access to features like free space left of uninstall apps or cleanup ram..

6)(apart from the fact that 0.1inch is not small deal for a smartphone) i dunno how comfortable it would be to handle the smartphone eith gestures...just like ubuntu mobile or blackberry...i think it kinda sucks and takes longer than pressing a button.

Have YOU removed touch buttons from your phone?

7)about when i wrote that if screen is smaller phone will work faster....obviously i meant just that. If gpu needs to elaborate less pixels, the reactions will be faster, its one of the reasons why apple's weak A-chips make their phone look fast...they dont the screen is just REALLY small...

8)wha...the....is pentile subpixel arrangement nonsense?????

I use my ohone everyday, i can tell "legible" from not legible. And s3's screen is VERY sharp.....

Enough with these 'small-detail' comparisons (just like in youtube videos), no one can say the s3 screen looks so bad it is noticeable when using it. It looks almost just like n4, the fact it is SLIGHTLY more hd just means....nothing really! I can not notice any zigzag lines if i bring the screen close up to my face, so theres no point in speaking of screen sharpness. Ive already watched hd 720p and full hd videos on this phone, i dont recall not enjoying it because of low pixel visibility or whatever. Plus with the new full hd smartphones, talk about screen sharpness is becoming stupid, because the human eye is not even capable anymore of detecting single pixels at such high ppis.

9)i can use my phone without any cases or screen protectors as well. Matter of fact i dont use any screen protectors and some weeks i dont wear a cover at all, the only reason i DO usually wear a cover is becuase i remember the times when i had an ipod and everyone's was always breaking, but mine never broke because of its great rubber cover...therecore i feel like the cover would save my screen if i were ever to make it fall down the stairs, pkus s3 har great aerodynamics.

And the phone DOES NOT feel cheap AT ALL! it feels extremely light and made of long lasting material, even though the plastic makes it look otherwise...

10)now you completely acnowledge some s4 defects, good to know.

11)ive dropped my s3 a couple of times, bounced like it was going to shatter into pieces but ended up lying on the floor as if it were sunbathing, not one scratch.
