Samsung Galaxy S 4 vs BlackBerry Z10: first look
0. phoneArena posted on 15 Mar 2013, 14:31
Crazy to believe it folks, but we’re still only in March, and already, we’ve been bombarded by a handful of flagships. Even crazier to believe, BlackBerry was the first one to out its brand spanking new flagship, which felt so long ago already! And just yesterday, we witnessed Samsung delivering its next big thing in a fancy...

I don't think these devices should be compared to each other. GS4 is just in another class compared to the Z10 :(

i agree. this is ridiculous to even compare the two. slap in the face.

design and built quality it goes to BBZ10 and the rest goes to SIV!

Except the screen on the S4, love that small bezel and what I've seen so far, the SAMOLED is even better than before.
Love the build quality of the Z10 too.

i didnt say that it will match the SIV esp when it cames to specs...but just accept the FACT that Z10 is a good PRemium Looking device than Samsung SIV..

METALLIC ARMOR POWER UP. This is a nice comparison between the two devices. But still the GS IV still perform better than the BB Z10

lol sorry but z10 and nokia 920 are not on the level of recent phones.
GS4 should be compared to HTC One, Xperia Z, Iphone 5 and anything else that comes out in the future.
20. StreetNerd posted on 15 Mar 2013, 16:42 5 3
haha
anyways,,, most people here are tech-savs only looking at highest specs
for me i think the L920 is more bout experience.
19. jcpwn2004 posted on 15 Mar 2013, 16:40 1 5
I wouldn't by an iphone 5 because the screen is too small/vertical for me, but you're kidding yourself if you don't think the iphone is a great phone.
24. StreetNerd posted on 15 Mar 2013, 16:51 4 2
whats so special bout the iphone5? its same as the 2010 iphone... just streched out and beefy specs nothing more

You actually said nothing of value there. And if you're comparing it to the 920 you're an even worse fanboy than you think.
40. StreetNerd posted on 16 Mar 2013, 02:20 0 0
so ur saying the old iphone 4 is also in the same class as those? ;) same app store cloud accesories support cs store choices looks music all same =)

33. SleepingOz posted on 15 Mar 2013, 19:52 1 9
As I know so far, the ip5 camera is better than the one on the L920(Portico update).. Except may be in low light conditions.

When John V. (reviewer) refers to Samsung as "Sammy" and to Blackberry as Blackbery, it does not take a rocket scientist to know which way he is leaning.
Reviews/comparisons are supposed to be inpartial, let the facts speak for themselves. This is very poor form of "reporting" John.
18. StreetNerd posted on 15 Mar 2013, 16:37 2 5
he is noob and doesnt know how to dress himself :') those ugly tie+shirt combo's

Dude, now you're making yourself like a troll. By the way, John V is the best reviewer right now.

What is interesting to me is that he can apparently see the difference in sharpness between these two high ppi displays, while in earlier comparisons with the s3 and other 1080p devices, there was apparently no noticeable difference in sharpness.
21. janert posted on 15 Mar 2013, 16:44 1 4
These bias articles won't stop. But it's fair to say Samsung definitely appeals to high schoolers and regular people. I see ordinary people with the Samsung all the time. Z10 is a corporate phone. More wall street. So, don't be expecting those fancy and unneeded personalizations you want. Get its slogan. For those who want to keep moving. Even the creative director they picked was a classic musician. Alicia keys. Keep hating. We moving

GS4 VS Z10 is like walking in to a gun fight with a throwing knife and 2 broken arms. No chance!
28. Xtasy posted on 15 Mar 2013, 17:52 4 3
Why bother to compare a brand new OS to this...ridiculous. I would still take blackberry over SG4 anyday
48. amansingal14 posted on 16 Mar 2013, 08:04 0 0
And Lumia 920, HTC one, Moto X too (they're all better than the GS4, and in the same class as BB Z10)
34. Ninetysix posted on 15 Mar 2013, 20:09 3 2
Where is the S4 in the pics? I only see the S3.
35. Armor posted on 15 Mar 2013, 22:43 3 2
Did everyone see the video of the S4. There was a lot of LAG. The Z10 is much smoother and a better design. LAG!! LAG!! LAG!! Oh did I say LAG!!!
43. slaggyb posted on 16 Mar 2013, 04:02 2 0
Android is never lag free even if samsung ends up making exynos 20 decacore... Useless marketing and bragging and the samsung sheeps and followers will be gravitating.. I own a note 2 and most times laugh at the way some folks on here brag is lag free with 2days of battery usage.. Who are you decieving? The unlocked unbranded international version I own lag from time to time the most annoying part is most times while browsing it will force close the browser for some reasons unknown to me and this is even running on 4.2.1 jelly bean with all that quadcore horsepower and 2GB of RAM in it, I expect zero to no lag whether running 10 applications at the same time or not.. Coupled with the pathetic battery life I get using only wifi I can't even make it through a day with brightness turned down to mininum..

Speaking from someone who has actually used the Z10 for a month now I can honestly say it is an amazing phone in many ways. The design definitely is stronger than the S4, it looks better, fits in your hand perfectly, the rubberized textured back is sleek, the white model is inparticularly stunning. Now the software is no contest - we are talking about an operating system that is brand new, powers space shuttle, nuclear power plants, automobiles it is super powerful and you can multi task like never before. Android is 6 years old and still relies on that goddy old fashioned home button. Resolution is maybe the only area of the three that Samsung may win, but the equals battery drain. The Z10 is for a mature, progressive, consumer looking to get things done and multi task and stay hyper connected to social media - samsung is for teenagers who want games, useless fluf and fall for marketing hpe.

Well Written @mdxguy.. From The begining of the article he began bashing the blackberry Z10... Why even bother comparing the two phones in the first place...

@StreetNerd
You're an obviously delusional fanboy. Lumia 920's app store BLOWS compared to iOS or Android. The fact that iPhone 5 is ahead is primarily cuz of its apps. The fact that its still relevant in comparison to Android is also primarily cuz of its apps.
Windows Phone's app future is so poor that even BB Z10 has corporations striving to make apps for it instead of WP8. So stop kidding yourself and step into reality, buddy.

Does anyone knows how many megapixels for the next generation camera phone? It is 20.8 or 21 megapixels. The phone camera is growing at the rate of 160% in a range of 5 to 7 years. All started with 0.2 megapixels you can keep it on multiplying. You will come over this figure 1.3, 2.0, 3.2, 5.0, 8.0, 13.0 and the next one is 21.0 You can see the figures are so close once rounded up. This pixels are all available on the phone.

You can see currently very few camera exceed 8MP for a very good reason being that the optical lens size is a limitation on the amount of light it can capture. Without improving the thickness and areal size of the lens, there is little improvement using a 13MP sensor unless sensor are ultra low light sensitive and low-noise as well. No dice on such a sensor, low-light means increased noise so it will get worse rather than better. HTC went ultra-pixel to get more light per pixel, that is one way. But innovation goes to mid-range digicams with large barrels. That is why their 6MP blows away any phone cam of 8MP. The MP is useless if the optics are bad or weak.

Am I the only one that noticed that the bezel around the S4 is the same from the BB 9900 series?

The Android operating system doesn't really lag. Its Android phones with manufacturer user interfaces that lag like TouchWiz. The UI is what's causing lag. I have a Galaxy S3 and it like all S3's lagged when it was stock. I unlocked and rooted it the first day I got it, flashed Liquid Smooth 4.2.2 ROM on it and there's no lag whatsoever. The phone is now amazing and way, way better than stock.
