Bullshit.

I'll be getting an Xperia Z with Dragontail glass because the S4 is gonna be made of cheap plastic.


Spreading FUD, as always.


S4 is not gonna be made of plastic?

S4 isn't going to be made of cheap plastic. Of course it's going to use plastic, but every phone uses plastic.

I'm sorry but 8 cores is absolutely unnecessary. I have the Galaxy SIII (the gimped US version with a dual core) and whilst it may be kind slow and laggy (which has more to do with the android OS then anything else) it is for the most part, just fine.

If you get an efficient OS (like windows 8) then 2-4 cores is all you should ever need.

Funny. Your GS3 is more powerful than my Galaxy Nexus. Yet my phone is anything but slow and laggy. Hint: its not android but the crap samsung adds.... buy Nexus.

lol

I always laugh at people who claimed this same bullshit with iPhone vs most android phones. Funny part is the "cheap plastic" actually is more durable than the glass. It nearly all cases of tests the Galaxy line was proven to whithstand more drops and other tests.

I'll stick to "cheap plastic" any day. Especially considering most people just wrap it in a case that is made of "cheap plastic".

Here's your durable plastic

 

Here's what Dragotrail glass is like

 

Phones are very fast enough for me, now I want the looks and durability.

Not every phone look like they're made out of cheap plastic. I prefer the Xperia Z which uses Dragontrail glass in front and back. It probably won't even break under a car.

Yeah you're probably right. It's not too bad; just kind of annoying. Especially since my last phone had a single core 1 GHz processor and a quarter of the ram that the SIII has and it was much smoother performance wise (not to mention all of the high end games I've played on both had about the same graphics).

So as far as I can tell an optomized dual core phone is all the power you would really ever need.

I don't know why, I think you are a minority here thinking Samsung phones are made out of cheap plastic:

1) glass broke, not the plastic

2) i could find plenty that show iphone breaking first... especially the full glass 4's

3) do you use a case?

My Lumia 920(red) will be just fine if this is all Samsung could come up with.
