If Apple doesn't make a 5-inch iPhone and this Galaxy S4 has good battery life, I'm jumping on board the Samsung train (have been iPhone only until now).
I do a lot on my phone so the added screen size is something I need.

Although I am for the notion that we should write custom firmware on our phones when possible (too many opportunities for easy upgrades/fantastic tweaks to choose from), it shouldn't be the norm "Oh, that phone sucks? Time to CFW". The average customer should be able to pick up a phone and have a fantastic experience with it out of the box. That's part of what turns some people away from Google Android to iPhone. |
Talking about older phones that don't get much support anymore hehe, Motorola lied about the Atrix 4G and supposedly ICS is in testing just now which is ridiculous, I called ATT to unlock it then went Jellybean CFW on it last year already so my brother can use his T-mobile with it, and I'll get him back to officialy ICS if it's stable since the official gingerbread on the Atrix 4G was the most unstable shit I've ever used from any phone company lol, it's kinda sad when a CFW runs that much more stable than an official one.

Correct. IT'S NOT EIGHT CORES. It's four cores that can be switched to low-power versions of the core when not under load. It's still more powerful at peak than previous phone chips but it can't use eight cores simultaneously. |
Right. I've seen big.LITTLE promoted as moar coars like this somewhere before.
Still, they'd likely see better real world results using the big.LITTLE spec with two powerful cores instead of four.

The problem is going to be making the OS and programs take full advantage. Cool hardware features have been tried MANY times before, software (e.g. Windows scheduler) killed all of them.
