The Galaxy S 4 may help Samsung double its lead over the second-biggest phone maker in 2013

Don't know which idiots are thumbing you down... One is a great phone but for me is the s4 mainly due to the SD card and bigger screen in a smaller phone than the one but just. My brother is getting the one because of the metal build.

No because you can't make a phone call from an ipad, but on the note II you can, and the note III will only shake things up even more, I love my note II but I do envy other phone's pixel density, that's the only thing, other than that it's fantastic

"but I do envy other phone's pixel density,"

Note II is what - 6 months old? Back when it was released, its display was competitive with other large screen flagship phones. Yes, HTC released the DNA about 1 month afterwards, but the rest of the pack were in the same ballpark with the Note II. More importantly, the Note II had the better processor and memory combination, even over the non-U.S. spec GS III. Expect the Note III to get the octa-core CPU while the U.S. spec GS IV gets the S600.

No wine before its time.

We can pretty much guarantee that the Note 3 will have a 1080p display at minimum. That should take the dpi rating above 330 to 400 depending on screen size. As long as Sammy increases the dpi, speed, battery life and s-pen I don't care if it looks the same or made from plastic.

I completely agree, except it's PPI, not DPI. PPI refers to the number of pixels per inch on a screen. DPI means dots per inch. It's a software setting that can be changed independent of the PPI.

You're better off with the Note II's display than the Galaxy S3's.

The Note II has over 40 less pixels per inch than the Galaxy S3, but due to RGB the Note II looks clearer.

I did group low end and mid range in my original post. The context of this article is overall sales.

Xperia tipo, Xperia miro, and Xperia E. Though those were released last year, they are all low end.

"They have newer low end models like the 520 and 720 but since it is Windows Phone, don't expect many orders"

Dead Before Arrival?

Don't put the cart before the horse.

Developing countries, as well as a good number of countries in the Middle East, Europe, and South America will eat these up.
