The consumer dont care if samsung took the idea of the other company. People in general only care how well integrated the phone is . In my opinion samsung is the only one stepping out the woods with their software. trust me I would like to see sony succeed this year. Sony needs to focus in their software to make an impact.

Samsung may have taken a page out of Motorola's book by taking features like smart actions and Motocast and improving upon them. Truly innovative technology is far and few between nowadays most companies utilize what's already there and put their spin on it. I am an unbiased phone guy but have seen enough to know that technologies are just being shuffled by diff. companies & not creating new technologies.

And Apple bought Siri, dumbed it down and threw it on the iPhone as a buggy beta, because they knew about Project Majel. So what?

Apple saw that the Android notification shade was much superior to their own implementation, so they copied it.

Thats how competition works. If you see a product feature that is better than yours, you try top outdo it. Everyone had similar features, especially when the public clamors for said feature.

Don't try to reason with biased haters, it's like playing chess with pigeons. They tend to willingly forget that the GSII had vlingo voice command well before apple launch siri as their own.

Sony phones are terrible. It's sony who tries to copy samsung. Samsung makes a big phone, sony follows. Samsung releases galasy s2, sony makes every one of their phones look like s2. Lmao retards

34. techspace posted on 07 Feb 2013, 09:27 0 3

i hope that the s4 doesn't come with cheap materials......and making a metallic phone would be extremely easy as well, they have already made the ativ......they should make a metallic gaaxy s4 with good design and they should also make it dust, water proof...if they do that, then it will be more popular than any other android phone in the market.....it will rule the market until the note III is released...

95. tedkord posted on 07 Feb 2013, 13:00 0 0

Metal will increase the weight while possibly interfering with the signal. Kevlar or carbon fiber would be better.

I personally don't care if they stick with polycarbonate, just as long as they give it a matte finish and/or make it unibody. It's just the glossy finish and flimsy battery door on the GS3 and Note II that make it look cheap.

42. erdpov posted on 07 Feb 2013, 10:09 7 2

Firstly, Apple killed that kind of stylus and sammy has brought from the dead, Secondly that stylus was not active and it was like a simple stick. Don't even compare it to sPen.

My friends keep arguing between apple and samsung. I tell them that we buy any other product easily but why the hell are cell phones taken with so importance.. They say it's a game, like ManU and Chelsea.. No body is innocent but it's fun to be a fan. Strange... I hope this fan boy era of smart phone ends soon.. Apple and samsung don't deserve this much hype just because they made phones. I hope e everyone become neutral and realize that there are other things in life too which are much more important than being a fan boy to a particular phone manufacturer..

You don't even know about Job's statement "who wants a stylus"? He banned them! Misunderstanding.
Second question. It could sound pretty obvious, but Yes p1's stylus was nothing but a stick! Because you could replace it with keys or nails. A lot of companies provided their winmobile phones with styluses not only sony.

Sorry i cant trust anything jobs came up with or said.....after photos where uncovered that apple took design q's from Sonys older phones!

Second answer: does it matter if it was a simple stylus that couldnt do what samsungs copy stylus can do? or does it matter that the IDEA came BEFORE samsung?

I dont care if they copied or not......i only care about people that dont like to give credit where credit IS DUE!

just cuz you took something that was already around and made it "revolutionary" does not mean YOU CREATED IT!

the concept was still there before you came around and if that simple concept wasnt THERE in the FIRST PLACE!........where would samsung be? what credit would they have to boast about?

People normally don't care about real innovator.. Credits and bla bla... They just care about final products.. I understand your concern on these matters but I suggest you to do a very good research from creditable source.. Because by your comments you don't seem neutral and you are heavily biased towards Sony.. Spen and stylus are not same.. They serve different purpose.. You can't say it as a copied technology just because it looks like a stylus.. Now, as you may say it's a pen and pen were here since 100 of years so it's a copied pen and copied stylus.. Chill dude, how can you expect Sammy fanboys to accept truth
when you comment in such a biased way and try to prove that only Sony innovates.. Me being neutral cannot trust you as you really don't know how note 2 works. How can you expect Sammy fans to accept you? You say credit should go to the true innovator and you don't know the differences between stylus and spen. Comeon be a creditable man.. Sony makes great product but don't loose your creditability by commenting only on sony's favor..

XPERIA-KNIGHT..

Calm your tits please. It's not that serious. People are starving and dying from horrible living conditions around the world, and you're worried about "who thought of it first?"

Please, grow up (unless you're a little kid). And that applies to all of you worried about such trivial matters, whether you are a samsung, sony, or apple fan.

Apple didn't create Siri!!!!!!!!!! for crying out loud they bought it, and actually HTC took intertest in it first, but Apple out bid them and thus they got it, plus Apple has Siri (unchanged) since 2008

What about newton tablet????
Don't compare old tech with new one....stylus was dead....if sony had a stylus why didn't they used in their flagships????
Samsung reinvented the stylus..and now many are trying to copy it...that's the truth .

56. AshishRomea posted on 07 Feb 2013, 10:44 6 5

samsungg ? i knw this company , popular for getting sued and has one place remaining to be sealed - the sony region . SONY WILL SUE SAMMY SOONER OR LATER ! samsung is popular copy cat , and sony is known for its unique and differnt aproach!

'so that gives samsung the right to "steal" they're idea because sony took another route with the waterproof xperia Z? i wonder what they would of did if sony included BOTH of these features in the Z!

74. erdpov posted on 07 Feb 2013, 11:39 2 2

Sammy is a good copycat, they like adopting "an infant" and bring up a bestseller. Sony is a great company but they lack marketing and they need a lesson to be teached by companies like apple and sammy.

78. emadshiny posted on 07 Feb 2013, 11:49 3 2

i think you must wait till the end of year and then write this comment. Sony is independent just for a year and we see every Samboy is completely afraid of its rise. so wait and watch. sony is just starting the show.

really?? i think you forgot your S3 with its quad cores were defeated in performance by Sony's duals like T and V. and i think glass is more valuable and classy than cheap plastic. even those OLED with their saturated colors are rubbish. Sony devices produce the most real colors.

take a look at different benchmarks and you'll see V has defeated S3 in almost all of them.
