15. RiseAgainst94 posted on 14 Mar 2013, 14:52 11

You mean it doesn't? Because it's polycarbonate plastic, not Samsung plastic. The fact that my old Samsung Mythic feels the same way as the Galaxy SIII is pathetic.

I used to have the Samsung Moment (a phone that not many people know of or remember because it was such a piece of...) and it felt better built than my Epic Touch.

Ahem, Poly carbonate Plastic* now that's a lot stronger. S3 is just like a flimsy bendy piece of basic plastic.

Yeah, me too was expecting a better phone... and i thought they were going like HTC: stoping at 4.7-4.8, but wasnt the case. Still the camera samples look great but id like to see a comparision with Htc One, the Lumias, and Xperia Z... Lets see!

this images are looking good ............but what about its low light performance.....??????

Er, you forgot about the bigger and removable battery, expandable storage, more powerful CPU and GPU, larger screen, better software..

26. sniper1087 posted on 14 Mar 2013, 15:56 1

CPU GPU dont matter when the phone runs smooth already with Snapdragon 600 you will see no lag, at that point y get a better processor if nothing will change, plus storage at 32gb or 64gb y expand it. the back concerns me because is plastic but with that ugly hyperglaze, which attracts fingerprints, touchwiz is never a better software, it looks cartoony and things are hidden within menus, never a fan of touchwiz, and seems like not much has changed. I will give HTC One a go but not sure about their UI either. Larger screen is also subjective I myself dont like a bigger screen 4.7 is already a good size.

Touchwiz is easily better then sense its extremly feature packed and smooth

Why get a faster cpu/gpu? Future proofing.

It's not just about making a phone lag free.. it's just like with pc-s and laptops- better chip means faster, better use of apps, multitasking, browsing and gaming.
The GPU in the S4 will have around 50gflops, compared to ~35gflops in the One.
That's a significant advantage, and means a true pocket game console that will play highest end games even a year from now without breaking a sweat.

As for the software.. wake up. You tried the latest 4.1.2 release from Samsung?
No other manufacturer comes close

Snapdragon 600 is only 30% faster than a s4 pro with same gpu... Not really a good upgrade.

these photos don't look that good. The iphone 5 is still better.

If you're seriously judging the phone's camera from 6 unstandardised, random photos then you are a moron.

Why don't you wait for the phone to officially be unveiled and take proper, comparable photo's on both...like a normal person.

Are you seriously saying a phone that is half ahead old can compete with the cutting edge camera technology both Sony and Samsung can bring because if you are I pity you...

Thanks for sharing that! Those pics look awesome. I've been more of a HTC fan as of late, but those pictures are amazing for a phone.

18. _Bone_ posted on 14 Mar 2013, 14:56 4

Well I'm already surprised cause I expected the samples to underwhelm. Sure there's plenty of testing to come, and low light could still fall to the HTC One and Lumia 920. But look at those samples! No jaggedness, no blurriness, no noise, barely any post-processing. How on earth did Samsung pull it off? These hands down destroy the Galaxy Camera's pictures.

Noticed how big the lens is, from the leaked photos of the back?
They simply decided to use the full potential out of the Exmor RS.

Sony used cramped lenses and aggressive software algorithms and ruined the great sensor

27. _Bone_ posted on 14 Mar 2013, 15:57 0

My bet is on the Exmor RS V2 announced earlier this year.

The fact that you are comparing your CAMERA to this phone makes this a success already. And, $220 is a lot for a point and shoot!

Everybody knows real cameras do a better job. That a phone camera can be in the same conversation shows that they have come a long way.

TX66 is really small and a fantastic camera ! The price was correct. What I´m trying to say is ... that there´s no focus on other features ... they compare 80% by the camera !
