| disolitude said: I'm not impressed at all. Looks like Samsung is going the apple route of providing incremental updates while keeping the design and feel the same. What we have here is a Galaxy S3s. Snapdragon 4 pro and not 600/800, same cheap and plasticky design as last year...i guess they figure they made it and they can ride their success to the bank. |
I find it interesting that you cite the lack of a Snapdragon 600, when pretty much the only noticeable differences between the two is 1.9 vs 1.7 GHz clock speed and the ddr2 vs ddr3 (I think). Same cache, same gpu, same instruction set. It becomes even more ironic when the Snapdragon S4 Pro in the S4 will have...wala...1.9 GHz and ddr3. Either they did some slight beefing up of the Snapdragon S4 Pro, or (despite the things indicating otherwise), this thing actually has a 600 in it.
The 800 is a whole different story, but I don't think anybody in any way whatsoever expected the 800 in the S4. I'm sure cost is significantly higher, not to mention it isn't even available yet, which would have delayed the launch of the S4 by several months.
If you don't want a cheap plasticky design, then go buy a DNA, it's a solid phone.
Money can't buy happiness. Just video games, which make me happy.
