So how many of you will be going 4 one? all though the specs have been slightly bumped from the S3 , there are still a few pull backs , on papers the Exynos Octa seems a powerhouse with 8 cores , in reality only 4 are active at any given point . The PHOLED screen looks bright and vivid but Samsung has always created screens which have over saturated colors and very bright screen which cause burn in issues. lets face a fact smart stay , smart pause , smart scroll how many of us will use these features on the phone in the day to day life?
The Phone has bumped its PPI to 441 which is a good the screen now has a full HD resolution good , the phone is slim good , but plasticky again .. bad!!! this is one department Samsung needs to get innovation. People really dont mind if its a bit thicker, no one here is in the race of buying a slim phone for everyday use , we dont mind a bit of 1 or 2 mm of thickness but the feel should be premium . look at SONY , HTC they pack some premium build materials in their devices . but using plastic and still charging $$ big is not fair.
The plethora of new features are good steps in this direction, but they can be seen as gimmicks rather than game changers. At this point, Samsung appears to be trying to kill the competition with sheer volume of new features.
Let me know if you are getting one or what you feel about the new Galaxy leave your comments below..
