whats wrong with pentile?these reviewers are always wearing monocles or are jewelers?WHO IN THE FUCK ACTUALLY obsesses with miniscule shit like this?compare this screen at any angle to the small amount of other flagships around 5.0 in. screens that is.
By that time, samsung will come out with galaxy s5 and it will kill iPhone 6. Dont worry.
Blue hue, sunlight legibility, lack of true whites, reduced effective resolution, reduced actual pixel density, text legibility, jagged edges on small curves. Samsung had to provide colour calibration software in the package because the red and blue pixels are twice the size of the green pixels which are twice as common in the layout as well (4 green pixels surround a single blue or red).
I have a pentile Galaxy Nexus and I’ll never be going pentile again. Ever.
orient n9500, it is alternative
Verge = SammyFanboy .. really..
yea i agree 5years.. but after that? stuck with the same technologies for the rest of the years”? if they’re smart and good enough, other competitor won’t have the chance to be so innovative
yea sure..
Oh my Apple sucks.
YES. AGREED!
@sha3rawee1 if this is ugly then so are you! Explain what exactly makes a smartphone ugly these day when you spend 99% of your time looking at the pixels and they take up the whole front of the device
Apple makes complicated things simple, and other companies improve these things even further. I’m fine with the way things work.
Right now they are a bit too comfortable. When they start losing more and more marketshare, i have no doubt they will pull their heads out of their a**es and start innovating again.
Apple was always better as the underdog company. I really hope johnny Ive has free hands over iOS7.
ok
and btw this isnt a review its a breif overview
Apple is better
No design change, what a buzz kill
It’s.……the force
This is getting boring. Give us something new. when a new phone get released. I get this feeling, ” i’ve seen this allready”. When iphone 4 came i was like WOW and then they did the same with the 5, same shit bit just longer screen. wtf?
Tell me what changed between iPhone 4 and 5…
LOLLL how?
let’s welcome the iphone 5S first of all
I know what you mean, considering I use a Mac as my primary machine and very impressed with it.
Its not like that. Apple devices have software and hardware that are tailored to each other- this is why you see companies throwing out Quad core+ to handle the competition. Android has the same problem as windows- the OS is amazing, but optimization is poor. However, unlike OSX and Windows, Android has far more than iOS in terms of functionality which is why the iPhone still has to catch up.
However, you’ll see that raw power is also a good alternative. iPhones are only benched through GPU cuz their CPUs are useless. When it comes to GPU, iPhones and Android devices do the same thing. The i5 has a tri core GPU and iPad 4 has a Quad core one. Whether you believe it or not, that is a lot of hardware. Why do you think the iPad 3 and later came with massive batteries?
i can see its a good powerful phone but i dont think id every buy one, they feel to cheap and tacky in your hand, samsung needs to up its build quality
its time for apple to be removed from the equation because they are just pricks looking for your money now and they never produce the highest spec products they just make them look shiny and pretty to buy
Apple is dead
Very boring but very polished and smooth. I prefer that over half-baked innovative features which we don’t really need (move your hand over the screen to scroll? wtf? put a proper RGB LCD screen in your highend device, and then we’ll talk.).
the air view is not so interesting.
Seems sort of gimmicky in terms of features. Just a hyped up galaxy S 3, with TouchWiz slowing it down. (I’m not a huge fan of TouchWiz, and have AOSP roms on all my Sung devices) Seems evolutionary instead of revolutionary. BlackBerry Aristo is a better choice for actual consumer use in my opinion. (However the S4 will make you look cool at parties for a half hour!)
Iphone has been boring for a while now
Jailbreak is the only reason I own an iphone. I honestly don’t care what happens on iOS because its already on jailbreak.
I have never owned an iPhone, but I have been following them for years, and they never really get better. Now that they are getting surpassed by even HTC, which, I’m sorry, has been doing terribly for years, they might be forced to make a better iPhone 6, but I honestly doubt it. People will still buy them, but only because they still think Apple is best no matter what.
hTC one is way better that s4
They love putting ass in front of things and it’s true
If you don’t mind,actually why many people like Iphone is because of its ‘simplicity’,that’s why Apple don’t change it,but to us Android’s fans,we want to have customization,but to have customization,the phone had to be confusing at sometimes,maybe not to us Android’s fans,that’s why a lot of teenagers and adults like to use Android,but to the children and old people,it is confusing for them that’s why they use Iphone
So… is it better than the htc one or not?
Even with all that shit it still lags
They put s infront of everything because its shit
then why apple is COPPYING android
For everyone complaining about the Samsung phones havering plastic, the GS5 should have a carbon fiber body.
Honestly the S4 isn’t fast by much so it’s really not worth mentioning. The Htc has better build quality, sound, and the colors on the Htc screen is more accurate than that over saturated screen. Guarantee you most people won’t use half of those features. Htc has better user interface, and its fast, and snappy. The S4 have some lag.
Did you really just ignore my points on how it’s better. Better interface, better screen, better low light camera performance, more polished software that is lag free. Removable battery? I don’t see myself going out somewhere long enough that i need another battery.
The features doesn’t seem practical or useful at all day to day use. It’s just going to eat out your battery because you enabled all those unneeded features that you have. Now i can understand why you need an extra battery lmao. Who cares about not having an removable battery on a phone when you can carry an portable charger. So that argument is invalid.
I’m not talking about outlets I’m talking about external chargers. Chargers that doesn’t require any cord connected to it to charge the phone(wireless charger). So the whole extra battery isn’t a big of a deal.
It doesn’t matter because i wouldn’t get the S4 anyway
Superior UI? Like i said last time it’s fast, smooth, and responsive, faster when opening apps no lagg or bloatware. More stylish while the S4 icons look ugly.
So did the S3 and Note 3 so nothing new
HTC also have NFC
I could always carry a small backback, but i wouldn’t need an extra battery anyway unless if i was going on a trip or park etc. But it’s not like i go there everyday so how likely do you need to carry extra batteries for that occasion?
It isn’t slow but it lags. The responsiveness, smoothness makes up for the lack of features of sense, but at least they are more practical.
HTC One DOES have NFC. The white bands on the back of phone are for NFC, radio, signal to get through.
Well the HTC Battery last about 8–9 hours so it’s fine for me.
Have you ever gone to a trip, hike, park empty handed? So carrying a backpack really isn’t a big deal for stuff like that unless a bag is too much for you to handle? Plus wireless charges all come in different sizes. So i would be able to fit a small one in my pocket.
I dont find myself using it much plus their isn’t that much to use it on.
HTC Sense 5 IS android, but having a laggy U.I instead of a fast, and smoother makes no
Makes no logical sense to me, but i guess that’s just your preference.
ich habe auch eine gekaufte
