ThatNaijaBlog - Samsung To Release New Versions Of Galaxy S4 & S4 Mini
UPI- Samsung's flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S4, has a security flaw that could let malicious software track emails and record data communications, experts say.
Vyralize: For the second time, it’s been revealed that Samsung has been rigging its benchmark scores. Given that they had done it once before with the Galaxy S4 smartphone, many tech reviewers were skeptical as to whether or not Samsung would do the same with the Galaxy Note 3, turns out they did.
Honestly i do not see anything wrong with this, a benchmark should be determining the maximum capabilities of the hardware, not the dumbed down "Desktop" clocks. If the CPU firmware is capable of dynamic clock adjustment for apps than that is what should be scored.
thats not rigging, the cpu can run like that in other intensive apps. rigging is changing the scores not the phone boosting its own speed
I like how this thread still ended up turning into an Apple bashing session even though it was strictly an Android topic.
Another sloppy android phone.
its funny how people complain about apple constantly releasing phones and say it sucks because it does nothing new yet they cheer when a new galaxy or note is released with a minimal upgrade. Enjoy your phone and stop being a douche elitest
@eferreira:
Don't assume its only minor changes just because you do not understand the hardware specs.
If the rumored specs are true then the Galaxy S4 is a massive hardware upgrade over the S3 and will easily make it the most powerful smart phone on the market.
- 8 core 4+4 1.8Ghz CPU vs Quad core 1.4Ghz
- Quad core GPU rumored to be superior to a Tegra 4 vs Dual core mali-400 equiv to a Tegra 3
- Double the Ram
- 4.99" vs 4.75" screen
- 1920x1080 vs 1280x720 resolution
- 13MP rear camera vs 8MP
- 2.1MP front Camera vs 1.9MP
- More supported network types
- major cosmetic overhaul
- 2600mAh battery vs 2100mAh
If you think that is only a "minimal" upgrade then i want some of whatever you are smoking.
The IPhone 5 vs 4s for comparison:
4" vs 3.5" screen
1136x640 vs 960x640 resolution screen (slight upgrade)
A better CPU (though not nearly to the extent of the S4s upgrade)
and some minor cosmetic changes
Everything else is identical.
the thing i don't get with this phone is why are there 2 quad-core processors in the phone. we all know that they are used one at a time. depending on the work load it switches between the more powerful quad-core for faster processing and the weaker one to conserve battery life.
the thing that stumped me here is which current quad-core processor is maxed out that they need a more powerful quad-core to handle more processing. the weaker quad-core alone is capable of handling everything and im sure they could have tweaked that to conserve battery power. i mean nobody said "DAMN, my S3 lags to a crawl and is near unusable. i need a more powerful quad-core"
yeah this phone is a major upgrade hardware wise but still is a more powerful quad-core phone unless the modders get all 8 cores running simultaneously, but i guess that would drain the battery in a couple hours.
I'm waiting for the HTC ONE thats a sweet phone
