And some smart ass believe Samsung proprietary Exynos chipset is more superior.

Haha that's the funny part. I have used S3 lte , iphone 5 before changing to Xperia Z. Xperia Z its really more power efficient, everything seem to work right. this phone can last for more than a day with charging with normal usage.

One thing I hate is the soft keys, it take up some partition of the screen.

So far my phone did not "hang" on me that's pretty good compare to S3 LTE where I have to reboot quite often.

Those smart ass do not know all these and they just support whichever products which are popular and leading in the market, simply put it that they just follow what others buy.

True but during the development of Xperia Z, Qualcomm has not come up with Snapdragon 600 yet. Personally, I find the current processor fast enough especially handling my thousand photos in the Album compared to the S4.

Well that's true, but coming from a 2013 flagship model perspective Snapdragon 600 is the norm now. luckily Xperia Z pricing is much lower if you sign contract or without contract.

if put a snapdragon 800 into Xperia Z, it will be the king for the rest of 2013. But marketing still counts, which Samsung is seriously good at it and of cos the Korean wav3.

Of course they are good at as their speciality is to copy from others just like they copy what Apple is doing on their marketing as well.

I only believe on the quality products and the reputation from quality products will last longer compared to basing on marketing strategy.

Actually, no need more powerful processor. In the end... it is the coding on the APP and OS that makes wonder.

Like I mentioned earlier... Now is no longer a hardware limitation, is more of the software.

Until they perfect this, no matter how SUPER GOOD and FASTER hardware they pops out, it is still slow.

This does not just apply to phones but computers as well.

The main issue now is that, there is no common architecture for developer to follow unlike IOS which is why IOS apps are more optimize. hope google could set a standard.

if goggle behave like Apple, it's no longer open source and you will only see google phone and nothing else... all other phone will never have different interface.. you know how sick to face the same icons for years? other might not be but i do get sick of it....

 

[gapboy]

wow.. not even 1 week launch people break their phones from another thread... thought Corning Gorilla Glass 3 is much better than XZ Shatter proof and scratch-resistant glass?

 

[marcoyeo]

I buttery fingers dropped my XZ 2 days ago from table height. Thank God nothing happen to my XZ.

Maybe you get me wrong, what I mean is to standardize certain hardware architecture coding hence improve developer hassle of optimizing their apps with updates and all when new phone bump into issue.

With Intel, Nvidia, Qualcomm, Samsung all jumping into mobile computing it would be exciting for consumers by not for developers.

Maybe its not so easy, but just an overview thought.

Its just like computer games, certain developer will favour ATI graphic compare to Nvidia vice versa.

If i am going to buy my xperia Z at either m1 or singtel, will they throw in protector/handphone cover as free gift

or they will psycho me to buy protector and handphone cover from them?

[bt_jason]

I doubt Xperia Z price will drop so fast cos the demand is high after even S4 has launched, some of them even sell off S4 and buy Xperia Z.

 

[carlover76]

Manage to get a snapshot of the board in S2 and the NAND chip, it clearly show that the brand SAMSUNG on the NAND chip from Samsung is in capital letter, SAMSUNG.

There are a lot of issues with their NAND chip too so I will not even consider to buy their MicroSD card even it is very fast as they always like to tweak their product performance to the maximum resulting the drop in reliability.

Refer below on the red rectangle box on the SAMSUNG wording :

And some smart ass believe Samsung proprietary Exynos chipset is more superior.

but based on benchmarks

the processor on S4 and HTC One is better than Z

However I also agree that Android has reached a point where faster processors doesnt make a big difference anymore

No point looking at it.

They are not comparing Apple to Apple.

XZ is on 400 Snapdragon and the rest are on 600 series.

Is like telling me Nvidia 670 VS 680....

He mentioned it re-confirm that prices are hovering around 800.

But no one knows it is local unit or...
